Nice when old photos come up and remind you of the past journeys and side quests you’ve taken. This photo was from 12 or so years ago taken by the amazing of our illegal popup cafe on 11th and Hope we ran for a year. We didn’t make a dime… but came away with so much experience and knowledge. Definitely think about that space more often than naught.

ScHoooooolboy Q!!

TLDR
- New Album! “Blue Lips”
- Schoolboy Q buying y’all drinks on March 13th @ Dulce USC Village. (’til Supplies Last)

Alright everyone… we have another album promotion for everyone. Probably the last one, haha. But we agreed to do this one because (switching to first person here) I, james, have some fond memories of ScHoolboy Q as it relates to the the early days of Dulce.

As many of you know we are directly across the way from the iconic “Shabu Shabu House” which recently closed up a couple of months ago. 😥 Yoshi-san, a legend, had to retire and is now enjoying his time on an island just off of Japan. Drop him and Masako-san a line

If you guys remember Shabu Shabu house you’ll know the 4 seat in the back right corner of the restaurant. My wife and I used to go in regularly to eat and would see ScHoolboy Q and his friend Jun from Deadline Clothing. I got to break bread with them on more than one occasion and ScHoolboy would be appalled because I would eat most of my plate of shabu beef raw. As a disclaimer though, Shabu Shabu House is the only place I’d do that because the quality was 👌🏼. I’d always tell him to try it to which he’d always respond, “Nahhhhhh man.” Hahaha. Anyhow, good times.

So as part of his release, we’ll be serving up our “Ao Lemonade” which is a sparking BLUE lemonade. We only serve it in the summer but to keep to the blue theme of the album we decided this was the perfect drink for this promotion.

ScHoolboy Q is throwing down his credit card to buy a bunch of drinks so come in tomorrow to grab one before we max out. Limited quantities available for promotion.

Glad to see ScHoolboy Q is killin it.

Thanks for reading this far. You’re a champ.

Man never thought we’d be asked to collaborate with Nora Jones. As a fan of her music from years before, what an honor! I’m not sure we are even allowed to post with any of Nora’s past music but how could you not post about Nora Jones without soundtracking one of her most iconic songs.

So come in on March 7th to USC Village and order Nora’s go to coffee beverage. We’ll be renaming the oat milk latte the Java Jones in celebration of her new album release “Visions”.

“Visions” will be release on March 8th.
Keep your eyes peeled for the album Linkfire.

Also for a good rainy day movie with some feels… check out ‘My Blueberry Nights’ staring Nora Jones alongside Jude Law. 😮‍💨 also not sure if they don’t want us to post about that movie but it’s a good one.

And no, we have not ‘sold out’. No money was received for us to post this. Purely a collaboration + we are fans of Nora Jones and the entire caption is completely unsolicited, except the mention of the album release date.

Our Sausage Donuts!

They are sausages wrapped in our donut dough, rolled in panko, fried, and served with our sweet and spicy chili sauce or spicy mustard. We never meant for them to become a Nisei Week thing but we are grateful that they are. We always eat too many of them when we make them selective times throughout the year. Come grab one if you’re here for the festivities and ask for the sauce!

Grade Parade from 4-6pm today! COME THRU your favorite Little Tokyo right here in DTLA. 😎
