LEWISTON — Break Coffee Shop closed its doors at 50 Lisbon St. at the end of December 2021 but there’s a new restaurant planned for the space.

Sherman Oaks California Kitchen has applied for permits through the city of Lewiston, The Buzz can confirm, and is waiting on the approval of its state applications before it can open. It must first pass all its final city inspections prior to being given the green light.

Owner Aaron Fanjoy said it will be a fast-casual restaurant with limited seating, delivery and take-out available. The theme is definitely California fresh said Fanjoy, where he has spent a lot of time in the past five years. He grew up in Auburn.

While Fanjoy is still putting finishing touches on the menu, he said the offerings will include gourmet sandwiches, soups, a lobster roll special and a melting pot of flavors and styles to include regional specialties like a birria torta, slow-braised, savory beef that is all the rage in California and on Instagram.

Other meats will be cooked in house as will the key lime pie and a host of homemade sauces and dressings, including a house special ranch.

Fanjoy said he plans to hire four or five employees as he gets closer to the opening date, which he hopes will be in mid- to late June. But he knows the permitting and inspection process is taking longer than normal and that it may be more realistic to say mid-July.
