A rep for La Segunda told Creative Loafing Tampa Bay that the Cuban break will be made at the Ybor flagship, but baked in St. Pete where all the other items will be made from scratch.
Indoor and pet-friendly outdoor seating will also be available. Its 1,820-square-feet will be able to accommodate 40 diners inside and 28 more on the patio.
Menu details are forthcoming, but expect St. Pete's location to offer La Segunda staples like the Cuban sandwich, Media Noche, Tony's Turkey, 1915 Club, Ybor's Muffaletta, salads like Cuban Cobb and El Jefe plus all the guava pastries cold pastry favorites like flan and tres leche.
