Cedar Fox is the go-to on Main, O & A adds a supply shop, Kahwa roasts on 2nd Street, and Project Coffee on South Pineapple has a bakery program and ceremonial matcha. Cafe Arts anchors the Rosemary District.
Specialty coffee and supply shop downtown with quality focus
Neighborhood regulars
Coast to Coast does New Orleans cold brew and pour-overs in Gulf Gate, and The Clever Cup is around the corner. Perq serves Hillview, Hashtag holds down Bee Ridge, and Simon's Coffee House on the South Trail is more than coffee.
Something different
Katy's Cat Cafe on Boulevard of the Arts pairs coffee with adoptable cats. Yoder's Pie Craft does coffee and mini pies in Pinecraft, and Parlor Doughnuts by Siesta's beach makes layered doughnuts. Elixir Tea House is the place for high tea.
Farther afield
Black Gold roasts small batches in Venice with a fair-trade mission. Sun Soaked roasts on Cattlemen Road, and Palma Coffee on the South Trail is the one for single-origin beans to brew at home.
