When I moved here in 2019 from NYC I realized that there weren’t so many coffee shops locally besides Starbuck and Dunkin donuts. Now a few years later we have some wonderful additions to the coffee scene and I’ve discovered a few coffee companies are actually based and roasting here which is exciting. I know how important coffee has been to our guests are Salt + Sea Sanctuary and Fairhaven so we offer 3 different ways to prepare coffee at the homes-Nespresso Machine, French Press and drip coffee. So when you are staying with us and want to explore you can check out these local coffee shops:
Local Coffee roaster shops: *Pumphouse pouratorium-Local favorite and now you can drink their coffee inside their brand new 8,000sf roasting plant/cafe/community hub location. Limited food menu like avocado toast and a few baked goods. The real star is their single origin quality coffee. Huge space to spread out in means you can work remotely from the space with other nomads. *Oceana Coffee Cafe-One of the original Florida coffee roasters founded by couple Amy and Scott Angelo in 2019 because they couldn’t find a good cup of joe locally. Started roasting with a $35 popcorn maker from eBay and the rest is history. Small batch special grade coffee also sold in Whole Foods. Since 2009 they have been roasting in Tequesta, Florida.
