Destin’s newest coffee and sandwich shop, Cissy’s Scenic 98 Café, is set to host a grand opening celebration, complete with a ribbon cutting from the Destin Chamber of Commerce, on August 19 from 4 to 6 p.m.

“We’ve put a lot of work into creating this adorable new café,” said Wanda Menendez, manager of Cissy’s Café. “And we’re excited to officially share it with the community.”

The celebration is free and open to the public and there will be a coffee tasting bar and lite bites featuring all the items Cissy’s has to offer.

  • Plus, guests can support the Emerald Coast Children’s Advocacy Center and enter for a chance to win sought-after raffle prizes including a two-night stay at Henderson Park Inn.

“It’s going to be a wonderful time,” said Menendez. “We’re looking forward to celebrating with everyone.”

Located on the corner of Scenic 98 and Matthew Boulevard in Destin, Cissy’s Scenic 98 Café offers Amavida coffee, freshly made pastries, sandwiches and crispy flatbreads crafted by its award-winning chef, Rafael Sanchez, and the shop’s team of spectacular baristas.

“The food is absolutely fantastic,” said Menendez. “My personal favorite is the Cissy’s Cuban Sandwich, and I hope that everyone comes out to try it and support our new business.”
