New small food hall Cafe Collective has opened in the former home of Pom Pom\u2019s Teahouse & Sandwicheria on Bumby Avenue, bringing a new energy to the space.<\/p>\n

Cafe Collective, now in soft-opening mode, is designed as a food hall-style venue that will host local vendors, like current purveyors Somo T<\/a>,\u00a0Takitos Nueva Rosita<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Whiskey Church BBQ<\/a> (on weekends).<\/p>\n

Somo T, which also opened a Winter Park location earlier this year, serves Vietnamese coffee and b\u00e1nh m\u00ec. Takitos Nueva Rosita offers hot breakfast and baked goods from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. every day.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Cafe Collective will also feature guest pop-ups. On Nov. 15, Noma Matcha<\/a> will set up shop from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.<\/p>\n

The cafe is open from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays and from 7 a.m. to midnight on Fridays and Saturdays.<\/p>\n

Pom Pom Teahouse and Sandwicheria closed its doors after nearly 20 years<\/a> in business in fall 2024. Owner and chef Pom Moongauklang garnered a local following with the spot\u2019s beloved \u201cEast Meets West\u201d sandwiches, salads and sides. Moongauklang is still playing a role in the culinary scene around town, and a reimagined Pom Pom\u2019s has since opened in Henry\u2019s Depot<\/a> in Sanford, keeping many of its classic menu favorites.<\/p>\n
