The newly-renovated Floridan Palace Hotel is finally ready to debut its latest hospitality concept: the Cass Street Coffee Company. 

The new coffee shop—located on the ground floor of the Floridan Palace Hotel at 905 N Florida Ave.—will host a grand opening reception on Wednesday, Aug. 16 from 9 a.m.-11 a.m.

The event will feature complimentary tastings and a ribbon cutting ceremony with Tampa Mayor Jane Castor and the Tampa Bay Chamber.

Downtown Tampa’s latest  coffee shop will serve coffee and espresso-based drinks from Philadelphia’s La Colombe Roasters and sweet treats from Local Mini Donut Co., in addition to oatmeal, yogurt parfaits and other grab-and-go bites.

Anyone who attends Wednesday's grand opening can indulge in free coffee and breakfast, courtesy of the hotel.  After this week's debut, Cass Street Coffee Co. will be open from 6 a.m.-3 p.m. seven days a week.

The Floridan Palace Hotel, which has undergone several renovations over the past few years, also opened its new signature restaurant The Dan just a few months ago. Cass Street Coffee Co. will soon join the ranks of other downtown cafes like Caffeine Roasters, Buddy Brew, Blind Tiger and the newly-opened Little Tina.
