BREVARD COUNTY • COCOA VILLAGE, FLORIDA – Keep It Local Café officially opened its doors on October 7 with a grand opening celebration in the heart of Historic Cocoa Village. Located at 902 Florida Ave., the café welcomed guests from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. for a full day of live music, local talent, and a first taste of its unique offerings.

Throughout the day, guests enjoyed samples of the café’s vibrant menu, which includes fresh-squeezed lemonades, colorful mocktails, plant-based drinks, and specialty teas and coffees served in elegant china. A rotating menu of baked goods and savory items—ranging from gooey chocolate chip cookies and decadent cakes to avocado toast, smoked salmon bites, fresh salads, and homemade soups—gave attendees a glimpse of the café’s cozy, creative vibe.

The first 100 visitors who brought food donations for Matthew’s Hope were entered into drawings for giveaways, gift certificates, and door prizes. Guests also played the Dice Game for additional prizes and enjoyed complimentary sips of a non-alcoholic cocktail infused with The Healing Drops essential oils.

Local author Bert Cintron was on hand to discuss his book The Covering, and Lisa Newton Radesi of Juice Plus shared wellness tips. Attendees also connected with a Wild Bloom plant expert and experienced wellness demonstrations from the Cube House Spa Bus, including red light healing cube therapy.

Live music by Anna Delgado and Sam Tritico kicked off around noon, adding to the welcoming energy that defined the café’s community-driven mission.

Keep It Local Café aims to be more than a coffee stop—it’s a gathering place. With weekend speakeasy-style evenings featuring a Prohibition Wine Menu, plus upcoming workshops, private events, and catering services, the café is poised to become a hub for connection, creativity, and local flavor.
