A downtown coffee trailer has opened its doors to a brick and mortar location.



Patika Coffee, 2159 S. Lamar Blvd., opened Sept. 26 offering coffee its patrons already know in addition to wine and beer. The new location will also offer morning and evening treats.



"This space on South Lamar is the perfect neighborhood for us, as the people and community here are engaged, proud, and supportive of local businesses," owner Andy Wigginton said in a news release. "We love that they're genuinely interested in being involved in the community and respond to places that seek to integrate into the neighborhood. We are excited to be part of it."



The first Patika Coffee trailer opened in March 2010. The trailer can be found on downtown Fourth Street.



In addition to coffee, the menu also includes teas, hot chocolate, Italian sodas and chai.
