This is Ironworks in the Deep of EaDo.
It was formerly the Cameron Iron Works building. The building had produced equipments for oilfields up till WWII where they were producing gun barrel, mounts, and rockets for the U.S. Navy.
Now, it's been re-purposed as a multipurpose building.
Inside, they used various shipment cargos as office and retail space.
The building itself with the big huge windows are truly beautiful.
One such space is used for Segundo Coffee.
They have food from Koffeteria and Dona Licha's Taco. Hooray for me, I got the last 2 Chorizo & Egg breakfast Taco (yay me!). They have a Roja's sauce and a Verde sauce, which by the way the Verde was spicier than the red sauce. But all the yummy goodness are mine!
For coffee, I got a Honey Lavender Latte with Oat Milk. It's nice and smooth. I know they are known for adding CBD in the coffee, but I needed the jolt, and felt like between lavender and CBD - it would mellow out my coffee than really a caffeinated thing. Not bad but next time I would like to check out their Te Con Leche. They have Melon & Honey, Taro, Matcha, Thai Te and Chai Te - all come cold and bottled. Next time!
Got there about mid-morning and the line was long with folks already sitting down enjoying the coffee. Mind you, not the folks that work there. There are people just stopping by to grab their coffee. While the area is being revitalized and some would say gentrified, it is still a work in progress. Meaning, there's not much around. So people really made the trek to grab a cup of coffee. They really got a lot of support from social media, mainly Instagram, where influencer often tag them. And having pop-up markets in the space helps with exposure as well. Pretty neat.
