Following the closures of What’s On 2nd and Iron City Pizza, many have wondered what’s next for the vacant corner in Five Points South. 

Bandido Coffee owner Raul Chavez has confirmed plans to relocate his coffee shop from 20th Street South to the corner space, where he will also introduce a new brunch concept in the adjoining location. Open daily, Bandido Brunch’s menu will feature both typical brunch food and Latin-inspired dishes and drinks.
