We are incredibly honored and proud to share that Bendecido Coffee has been officially "scouted" and is featured in the newly released Volume 11 of The Scout Guide Tampa & St. Petersburg!
There is a deep sense of gratitude that comes with doing what you love in a community that loves you back. At Bendecido Coffee, our name represents being truly blessed and today, we are feeling that more than ever.
For a mobile business rooted right here in the heart of the Tampa Bay area, being included in this curated collective is a milestone we won’t soon forget. Whether you are a long-time regular who has enjoyed a latte from our mobile bar or a new friend who just discovered us through the guide, we wanted to take a moment to share what this feature means to us, who we are, and why we are so passionate about our local community.
What is The Scout Guide?
If you aren't familiar with it, The Scout Guide (TSG) is a highly respected, national publication with a hyper-local focus. Dedicated to supporting independent businesses, TSG prints a beautiful, curated annual guide in specific cities across the country.
But it’s much more than a business directory. The Scout Guide is a celebration of the artisans, entrepreneurs, and premier small businesses that give a city its unique flavor and soul. To be "scouted" means an organization has been hand-selected for its exceptional quality, commitment to craftsmanship, and distinct contribution to the local culture. It’s an invitation-only collective of the best of the best, and walking into local boutiques, hotels, and venues to see that iconic, beautifully designed book on a countertop is always a mark of local excellence.
A Community to Collaborate with
The absolute best part of being included in Volume 11 is looking at the pages around us. The Tampa Bay entrepreneurial scene is vibrant, creative, and fiercely supportive of one another. To be showcased alongside so many stunning local brands, venues, and creators is incredibly humbling.
We are especially thrilled to share the pages of Volume 11 with Popi Damalos Events + Design. Anyone who has had the pleasure of working with Popi knows that she brings an unmatched level of elegance, precision, and awe to the event industry in Tampa Bay. Collaborating with professionals of her caliber is what makes the local event community so rewarding, and seeing her recognized alongside us in this volume makes the celebration twice as sweet.
