As is tradition for very popular local concepts, beloved Tampa Heights coffee shop and brewer King State will attempt to open a new outpost across the bridge.

The new King State location will open at 15 8th St. in St. Petersburg within the Harlan Hotel at the new COHatch co-working space, the shop announced yesterday on social media.

"So many rad people working on this project and we’re so thankful to be bring the Bruce to the Burg. Full kitchen, full service, full liquor, full coffee, 16 taps, full party time," said King State in the post.

Since its debut four years ago at the flagship location at 520 E Floribraska Ave., King State owners have been on a roll, launching The Brutalist brewery and Temple of Beer taproom at 1776 11th Ave. N in St. Pete,  as well as its annual Lagerfest. In 2019, King State was named among Food & Wine's "Best Coffee Shops in America" in 2019.

No exact opening date was given, but the new St. Pete King State spot is expected to open within the next few months.
