Soleil Malia LLC, the operating entity for the Kims' Filipino-Hawaiian café Hologram in the Outer Richmond, has a pending Type 41 on-sale beer-and-wine license — the permit it would need for the wine dinners and pop-ups it has planned.

Hologram, the Filipino-Hawaiian café that opened this spring at 2512 Clement St. in the Outer Richmond, has a pending application for an on-sale beer-and-wine license, according to the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control's new-applications report.

The applicant is Soleil Malia LLC — the operating entity behind Hologram — and the filing is a Type 41 license (No. 681036), the beer-and-wine permit for a bona fide eating place. It is not a full-spirits license; Type 41 lets a restaurant pour beer and wine with food, and nothing stronger. The application is listed as pending in ABC District 24.

Hologram is the work of Eugene and Anneliese Kim, the couple behind Snowbird Coffee, the Inner Sunset café they opened in 2014, and the Malama Matcha label. They registered Soleil Malia LLC with the state on Sept. 6, 2025, and soft-opened the room on March 21. The concept pairs Snowbird espresso and Malama matcha with a full kitchen — Hawaiian-style breakfast plates, breakfast sandwiches, and burritos — in a mid-century room that seats roughly two dozen, open Wednesday through Sunday from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., per Tablehopper's account of the opening.

The address has turned over several times. Before Hologram, 2512 Clement held Umami Sushi; before that Serendipity, and before that the Michelin-listed Dumpling Alley, all under operator Stewart Chen.

A beer-and-wine license reads as a logical next step rather than a pivot: the Kims have talked about pop-ups and wine dinners, and Type 41 is what turns those from a daytime café's side idea into a bookable evening. It is the same modest bet a lot of Richmond rooms are making right now — extend the hours the kitchen already runs, and let a glass of wine carry the check a little further into the night.
