Southern Grounds and Co., a Jacksonville-based coffeehouse franchise, has expanded to St. Petersburg with a 2,430-square-foot hybrid concept combining a tapas bar, restaurant and coffee shop on Central Avenue. Florida-inspired murals by local artist Matt Kress set the backdrop for a menu spanning breakfast, lunch, dessert and plenty of espresso drinks. Further north, Mazzaro’s Italian Market debuted Zagara Gelato, which offers traditional Sicilian gelato, refreshing granitas and soft Sicilian-style brioche beside the city’s beloved Italian marketplace.
