With your South Tampa favorites out in full force, you have to make sure you get the best of what the neighborhood has to offer! For a sweet start, Little Donut House will be doling out tiny classics like glazed and sprinkled while exploring some not-so-classics such as Maple Bacon, Fruity Pebble, and Strawberry Shortcake. What goes better with donuts than a cup of good coffee? Nothing. To wash down the sprinkles, Kahwa Coffee Roaster will be there to get your fix.
This event specializes in small tastes of neighborhood favorites, and who knows small bites better than Bulla Gastrobar! The folks at Bulla are giving the Taste of South Tampa a taste of Spain. Known for beautiful charcuterie with olives, cheese, and tons of the best cured meat such as Paleta Ibérica de Bellota Fermín, made from acorn-fed Iberian pigs aged for up to 2 years before consumption. You can't miss out on other small plates like: clams with pork belly, croquetas de pollo, and Tortilla Española.
