KYE’S

Kye’s was born out of a mother’s love for her son, Kye. His food sensitivities, picky palate and desire for all things “yummy” challenged her to create a new hand held food endearingly named the KyeRito. Passionate about children’s nutrition and providing clean healthy food that kids will want to eat and crave, as well as meet all the dietary considerations our children are facing, owner Jeanne worked hard to gain acceptance into the Santa Monica Malibu Unifed School District. In 2019 they piloted offering KyeRitos through one of the lunch carts at Lincoln Middle School 2 days a week, with the intent to roll it out to other schools, but the pandemic hit. Once students were allowed to return to school in person, Kye’s worked with Lincoln Middle School to allow parents to place orders online and delivered bagged lunches for students 2 days a week in 2022 and transitioned to 1 day a week in 2023, when the restaurant lost its lease and moved locations.
