Mood Bake Bar (stylized “MOOD”) is joining the ever-growing list of Ciccio Restaurant Group concepts this September, and it’s bringing the gluten-free and plant-based offerings its sister concept Sweet Soul is known for along for the ride.

The concept is set to open on Sept. 2 at 1101 S  Howard Ave. in South Tampa.

Alongside those diet-inclusive offerings, you’ll also be able to grab coffee, espresso and even matcha with a lot of add-in options like chaga, collagen, hemp-based CBD, maca and ashwagandha. If you’re not in the mood for caffeine, you can opt for the concept’s agua frescas.

MOOD is open every day of the week, but no hours have been announced. You can keep up with the concept’s latest on Instagram @moodbakebar.

UPDATED 08/25/21 12:35 p.m. Updated because you will not be able to order MOOD goods at Sweet Soul.
