Although, Endeavr may be an entirely different endeavor completely. You see, the latest cafe opening in Tampa in early 2020 will be located within Embarc Collective, which is described as an "innovation hub that helps Tampa Bay’s startup talent." This 32,000-square-foot hub that is soon to offer caffeinated pours is located at 802 E. Whiting St. in Tampa.
According to a release, Embarc partnered with Roberto Torres, owner of Blind Tiger Cafe, to develop a unique coffee concept designed with startup operators in mind.
"Endeavr, a brand inspired by startups to support the entrepreneurship journey with sustenance, will be the on-site provider of cafe beverages and food at Embarc Collective’s community cafe," the release reads.
The new community cafe is set to be open to the public, so you won't have to tap into your entrepreneurial spirit to get a latte, although it is encouraged.
“In building a central landing zone for tech entrepreneurship, it was critical to provide a place for food, coffee and conversation — open to the public — one which complements the vision of Embarc Collective and helps new ventures flourish,” said Lakshmi Shenoy, CEO of Embarc Collective.
The cafe is designed to invite the community to collaborate with entrepreneurs both within the Embarc Collective and in the Tampa Bay region, offering a "space for collaboration and conversation."
When it comes to menu options, Endeavr plans on serving coffee, including nitro and cold brew, tea, kombucha, sandwiches, salads and acai bowls.
More details to come when an official opening date is announced. Until then, get to work on your next start-up idea so you have something to bring to the table upon Endeavr's debut.
