Kahwa's most recent outpost made its debut on Thursday, April 18 at 6601 4th St. N in St. Petersburg. While there’s no indoor seating at this location, folks can still order from its walk-up window and sit on its outdoor patio.
The St. Pete-based coffee franchise offers a variety of coffee and espresso-based beverages—from lattes, americanos and cappuccinos to matcha, a variety of herbal teas and chai—in addition to pastries and light breakfast bites.
Kahwa orginally planned to open its 4th Street location by the end of 2020, although construction and permitting obstacles delayed its opening by a whopping four years.
Founders Sarah and Raphael Perrier launched their wholesale and retail coffee company in 2006 and over the years it has grown to be the “the largest independent coffee roaster in the state of Florida,” according to a press release.
Kahwa now operates almost 20 coffee shops throughout the greater Tampa Bay area, with the highest concentration of cafes in its hometown of St. Petersburg.
In addition to frequenting its many local cafes and drive-thrus, you also support Kahwa by ordering whole beans, single serve pods, cold brew and more from its website.
St. Pete’s newest Kahwa drive-thru is now open from 6 a.m.-6 p.m. every day. Head to @kahwacoffee on Instagram for the latest news on the ever-growing coffee franchise.
