Local Coffee
& Tea
Back in the early 1950s,
at the corner of the two-lane S. Tamiami Trail and Fiesta Drive, the
"merry men from Texaco" would have come out to check
your oil and wipe your windshield.
Today, the Trail is 6 lanes wide, and
the Texaco sign is tucked away
inside, where you'll get an entirely different kind of friendly service.

In the left garage bay is a fully
equipped bicycle shop open
7 days a week for sales, repairs,
and consignments. Rouillard is
very skilled in that department
as well; he is a tri-athlete who
once biked 3,000 miles
throughout Asia!

Come in
and meet Thierry and treat yourself to a funky monkey smoothie
or a slice of raw organic chocolate pie. Local Coffee & Tea is open
weekdays from 6:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., and on Sat. & Sun. from 8 a.m. to 4
p.m. "Sip locally."
