LottaFrutta's Avalon Outpost Is Certified Open

LottaFrutta, the Old Fourth Ward-based Latin sandwich and smoothie shop, is now open in Alpharetta's Avalon development. The new location is situated right next to Marlow's Tavern and across the street from Antico Pizza. Daily hours are 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Initially, the menu will be the same one found at the original outpost — look for smoothies, fruit cups, pressed sandwiches, Cuban coffee, and Mexican hot chocolate. However, new breakfast and dinner dishes may be in the works. LottaFrutta first opened in 2006 and added at Hartsfield-Jackson location in 2013. Owner Myrna Perez has said she's targeting more expansion locally — Athens, Decatur, and Reynoldstown — and at airports across the country.
