TAMPA, Fla. — Four years, 400-plus events and a whole lotta miles.

Now, Danny and Lael Martinez, the enterprising couple behind a popular mobile coffeehouse, have finally found a permanent home.

Mi Cafecito — a cozy salute to strong Colombian coffee, homemade arepas and more — just opened at 2202 W Platt St. in South Tampa.

"Our coffee, from Day 1, started in Colombia, from Colombian farms, and it's still coming from Colombian farms today," says Danny.

These are exciting times for Lael and Danny. They achieved their brick-and-mortar dreams. Even better? They're expecting their first child very soon.

"I feel like we're having two babies this fall," says Lael.
