St. Petersburg, FL—La Segunda Bakery & Cafe is celebrating the second anniversary of its 4th St. North store in St. Petersburg. The 100+ year old brand expanded their business, originated in Ybor City, to this third location following the success of their South Tampa location.
“St. Petersburg is a great community for us as the locals have really embraced our family’s business,” said Copeland Moré, 4th Generation Owner. “It’s been wonderful to share our Ybor City-inspired recipes with this side of the Bay,” he added.
Famous for its Cuban Sandwiches and Guava Turn Overs, La Segunda will celebrate the anniversary with special pricing on these items from March 18th to 23rd. A 9” Cuban Sandwich is available for only $9.99 and all Turn Overs (guava, guava with cheese and apple) will be BOGO (buy one, get one free). This promotion is available in-store only at the St. Pete location and quantities are limited to two sandwiches and two pastries per order.
Located at 2424 4th St. N, between 23rd and 24th Avenues, the St. Pete location boasts indoor seating for 40 and a large, pet-friendly patio area. All three La Segunda locations, Ybor City, Tampa, and St. Pete, are open daily from 6:30am to 3pm.
