The Burlap Cafe

Okay, I know I may be a little overenthusiastic about the 5 starts, but first impressions are pretty great!
I’ve been impatiently waiting for this replacement to the Soho Cigars to open ever since my former favorite local spot (and by local I mean walking distance) to get a cup of tea, coffee or munchies closed down a few months ago. It does not disappoint.
Here are the highlights:
It’s Cool! The Burlap Café has a cool/​casual kind of vibe backed up by it’s cool/​casual owner/​chef and impressive REAL Chai he serves.
French Crepes! Real ones, according to the staff, will be served by this coming weekend.
VEGETARIAN Crepes. If you’ve read my other reviews, you know we’re a veg-​only family. We cannot wait to have something different close by for when we (by we, I do not mean me :) gets tired of Ceviches.
You get to sign their wall — buy something, sign their wall, it’s awesome! Look for a message from Mark from TampaFLattractions by the door :).
It’s open 11 to 11 Monday through Saturday, then Sunday at 8AM. mmmm, brunch is on my radar…
Burlap is easy to miss if you don’t know right where it is — on Armenia Avenue between Platt and Cleveland. That means you have to come from Kennedy because Armenia is one way there. The driveway isn’t easy to spot and when you, drive through and park in back.
Be quiet when you leave. I live close by!
