PORTICO CAFE – Restaurant

Social-enterprise cafe on North Florida Avenue in downtown Tampa, brewing locally roasted coffee in service of a bigger mission: job training, employment ladders, and housing connections for people leaving homelessness, addiction, and incarceration. Retail beans and subscriptions ship the coffee home, event spaces host 4 to 400 for weddings and gatherings, and open mics and film nights keep the community programming humming. Hours run Tuesday through Friday, 8 to 2. It suits downtown coffee runs with a conscience, mission-minded meeting bookers, and Tampa regulars who like their latte doing double duty.
