"A bright new addition to Normal Heights opens Saturday, July 15 with the arrival of Bica, which means 'little cafe' in Portuguese. The daytime restaurant is one of a number of projects that San Diego natives Charles Knowles and Manny da Luz are hoping to bring to their hometown. Open from early morning to late afternoon, the cafe will begin the day offering drinks from local roaster Provecho! Coffee and Paru Tea along with pastries from Prager Brothers Artisan Breads and housemade baked goods like citrus olive oil cake and Portuguese custard tarts called pastel de nata. The food will be available for takeout, but there’s also a shaded side patio for dining in." - Candice Woo
