New small food hall Cafe Collective has opened in the former home of Pom Pom’s Teahouse & Sandwicheria on Bumby Avenue, bringing a new energy to the space.
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, Takitos Nueva Rosita and Whiskey Church BBQ (on weekends).
Somo T, which also opened a Winter Park location earlier this year, serves Vietnamese coffee and bánh mì. Takitos Nueva Rosita offers hot breakfast and baked goods from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. every day.
Cafe Collective will also feature guest pop-ups. On Nov. 15, Noma Matcha will set up shop from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
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.
Pom Pom Teahouse and Sandwicheria closed its doors after nearly 20 years in business in fall 2024. Owner and chef Pom Moongauklang garnered a local following with the spot’s beloved “East Meets West” sandwiches, salads and sides. Moongauklang is still playing a role in the culinary scene around town, and a reimagined Pom Pom’s has since opened in Henry’s Depot in Sanford, keeping many of its classic menu favorites.
