FLAN FACTORY – Spanish
Flan Factory operates two Tampa storefronts built around one signature dessert, quick-service counters serving flan alongside a growing menu of Cuban comfort food, in Ybor City and at Armature Works. Both locations combine dine-in seating with online ordering, the same menu shipping through delivery apps for anyone ordering in. Hours run into the evening daily, later weekends at Armature Works, the Ybor City counter closed Mondays. Beyond the counter, the business caters events and sells gift cards. Regulars describe the flan as the draw that keeps them coming back, with the newer Cuban dishes gaining a following of their own.
