The Nolen, a 23-story condominium tower on Beach Drive in the heart of Downtown St. Petersburg, will soon be home to the first U.S. retail location of Savage Coffees. The family-owned coffee producer and roastery, based in Panama, has finalized a deal to open its inaugural café in the building’s ground-level retail space. The café is set to open next year.
Founded in 2016 by Jamison and Leslie Savage, Savage Coffees has earned global recognition for its prized Geisha coffee, cultivated on their World Championship-winning farm, Finca Deborah. Jamison, a pioneer in coffee innovation, was the first to introduce Carbonic Maceration in coffee processing, revolutionizing production methods and elevating coffee quality worldwide.

“We’re thrilled to announce the opening of our first Savage Coffees Café in downtown St. Petersburg at The Nolen,” said Jamison Savage, founder of Savage Coffees. “Sharing our world-class coffee with the St. Pete community has been a long-time goal, and The Nolen offers the perfect location to make it happen.”
Bowen Arnold of DDA Development, which is behind The Nolen, added, “From the beginning, we’ve aimed to create a space that blends wellness, sustainability, and community. Savage Coffees aligns perfectly with our vision, bringing an upscale yet community-focused brand to our residents and the neighborhood.”
