Destination Food Hall, the first food hall on the Space Coast, is excited to reveal four of the eight local businesses that will serve as its vendors. This innovative dining venue in Downtown Cocoa Beach features eight local vendors, each offering freshly prepared meals alongside a craft beer and wine bar, all within a family-friendly atmosphere. The mission is to support local chefs by providing essential infrastructure at a lower cost compared to starting a traditional restaurant. It creates a collaborative, non competitive environment that ensures a diverse range of cuisine options. The food hall highlights the Space Coast's vibrant culinary scene, enabling visitors to savor both classic and creative dishes while supporting local small businesses.

The first food hall on the Space Coast has broken ground and is set to open in Spring/Summer 2025. Destination Downtown Food Hall is the first of multiple planned locations to open on the Space Coast with the next location planned for Cape Canaveral, FL to break ground in Fall 2025.

Locals know the location as the former home of the popular restaurant Yen Yen. The new home of Destination Downtown Food Hall will be a one-story building about 5,000-square-feet. Nearly 4,000 square-feet is under air while the remaining portion will be an outdoor, covered patio with misting fans.

Initially there will be room for seven vendors. Gal wants a variety of mom-and-pop-type restaurants in the food hall, no chains or franchises.

Construction begins!
