If you sign up for one subscription box service, make it the family-owned Tampa Coffee Club. Every month, a rotating lineup of three locally roasted coffees — Zeal Coffee Roasters, Kahwa Coffee and Kings Arms Coffee Co. among them — arrive at your door inside a neatly packaged box alongside a card that details where the beans came from, and how they were roasted. The dynamite smell radiating from the bags of java alone will keep you spying on your doorstep until your next shipment. tampacoffeeclub.com
