NEWS: LPCX Latin Cafe Bakery closing doors on November 9th in Tampa

LPCX announced today on Instagram that they will close their doors starting end of the day Saturday, November 9th until further notice as they work out what is next for their business.

The cafe has been known to serve great coffee drinks and beautiful latte art so it is certainly a loss for Tampa’s coffee community.

They were recently featured on That’s So Tampa’s 3 hidden coffee shops you need to visit. Unfortunately – it may have been too late to change the trajectory for the LCPX Cafe. Make sure you stop by for a last cup of joe if you have a chance.

La Pequeña Colombia ​will remain open across the street.

It is with a heavy heart we announce we have to temporarily close our doors. We’ve had a couple of great years but as we grow this new concept, we are at a place we cannot continue running it without taking a step back to adjust a few things. Our hope is to reopen in a few months, but for now, Saturday will be our last day. You will be able to find some of our offerings (baked goods, drip coffee), over at our sister restaurant @lapequena. We appreciate your love these last couple of years, and we hope you understand this difficult decision we had to make.⠀ ⠀ Tristemente tenemos que anunciar que vamos a cerrar LPCX. Hemos tenido unos años buenos mientras iniciamos este nuevo concepto de comida y café, sin embargo, estamos en un punto donde nos vemos en la obligación de parar, cerrar y hacer unos ajustes. Esperamos poder abrir las puertas de nuevo en unos meses pero por ahora el sábado será nuestro último día. Después de cerrar podrás encontrar algunos de nuestros ítems en @lapequena, cómo las cosas de panadería y café filtrado. Apreciamos su cariño y esperamos que entiendan esta decisión difícil que tuvimos que tomar.

Anise Global Gastrobar in Downtown Tampa permanently closing September 14th

Anise Global Gastrobar announced via Facebook today that the Downtown Tampa cocktail bar will permanently close its doors on Saturday, September 14th, 2019.

The bar was one of the first craft cocktail bars to enter the Downtown Tampa corridor and a success story showing that a food truck can expand into a brick and mortar business.

Many of the minds behind the business have gone to other projects across the bay such as Station House, Renzo’s, and other spots. Anise has been a great spot to enjoy craft cocktails with a focus on supporting the local bartenders in town over the years.

It’s certainly a loss for the Downtown Tampa area, especially when Downtown Tampa is about to explode with growth.

You can continue to enjoy the food from Anise at The Hall on Franklin in Tampa Heights. Thank you to Anise for all the great evenings in Downtown Tampa.

NEWS: Zentu Cafe vegan mobile kitchen is now permanently closed

Local vegan spot and mobile kitchen Zentu Cafe announced it’s permanent closure today on Instagram in a loss for local vegans. It was located inside Blue Torch Cigars and Winery at 5908 N. Armenia Ave. in Tampa. The cafe opened in February 2019 and their mission was “to switch up what Tampa is used to where vegan food is bland, overly healthy, or super bad for you.”

The statement reads, “It is with infinite sadness that we must announce the closure of Zentu Cafe. It’s been a good run, educational and we loved being part of this amazing community here in Tampa. We especially thank Blue Torch Cigar for hosting us and letting us try to grow. Enjoy this amazing upswing in vegan opportunities and we look forward to trying other restaurants soon”!

The project was a partnership between Benny Blanchard of The Human’s Mechanic in Seminole Heights and Tim Fedorko of Farmacy Vegan Kitchen & Bakery.
