Cafe Copa has officially opened its doors in the EDGE District (1043 Central Avenue), welcoming guests for breakfast and lunch service. The café, located next to COPA, operates from Tuesday to Sunday, starting at 9am.

Patrons can enjoy a wide variety of in-house coffee and espresso, breakfast sandwiches, and lunch options, all accompanied by a full bar. In addition to its daytime offerings, Cafe Copa will extend its hours into the night, providing bar service, cocktails, hookah, and live entertainment.

“Other than our sandwiches, we plan to offer locally sourced Caribbean delights like Brazilian Pastels, Argentinian Empanadas, Jamaican Patties and more. A full service coffee and tea bar featuring a variety of Caribbean and Central American Espresso Beans is also in the works,” write the owners in an email to I Love the Burg. “We have also begun a collection of Caribbean and Latin inspired artwork which we intend to showcase and offer for sale.”

“Once the cafe is up and running, the second phase of the expansion will be our new cocktail bar which will mirror the same hours of Copa’s current bar and offer a space for additional seating, private parties and live entertainment.” The COPA owners continue in an interview back in March, “The cafe will have a full bar with all of copa’s favorites as well as a curated cocktail list and extended selection of craft Tequilas and Mezcals. With Copa already having a large selection of Aged Rums, we thought to dive into the world of agave and bring a modest home grown approach to an industry dominated by so many mainstream labels.”

The café also features free Wi-Fi, event and meeting spaces, and an art gallery, with more offerings to come. Keep up with news regarding the expansion on COPA’s Instagram.
