Signage is up and owner Rachel Zhang has been putting the finishing touches on the interior of the new spot, which is situated just north of Central Avenue next to the popular Venezuelan restaurant 11 Chicks Yummy Creations.

“He’s our mascot,” Zhang said with a smile in a conversation with St. Pete Rising. “When I lived in Los Angeles, I would always take my baby Dango with me to get coffee. He's my little coffee buddy.”
