But there's so much goodness to cover, reporter Sean Daly headed to Plant City to highlight two hidden gems for you to discover.
WHISTLE STOP GOURMET COFFEE & EATERY (102 S Collins St, Plant City): This family-owned local favorite is located in Plant City's historic downtown. It's a friendly, community-rich meeting spot, a lunch and dessert shop with miniature trains chugging all over the charming restaurant. There's even a piano player. Try the classic "Soup and Half": a sandwich made with their homemade bread, served with soup, chips, and a pickle. Oh, and get ready for a big hug from owner Marti Lofstrom.
PLANT CITY COMIC CAFE (303 S Collins St, Plant City): This quirky concept from married owners Sherrick and Michelle Ervin combines delicious Asian fare (including soup dumplings and a make-your-own-ramen bar) and a comic-book store with Marvel, DC, manga, anime, and indie selections. The whole vibe is a welcome community hangout. Make sure to stop by on Wednesdays for the new comic reveals. For diehards, they also offer subscription boxes for fans who can't wait for their favorite issues.
