Coffee drinkers in northwest St. Pete rejoice: local favorite Kahwa Coffee has just opened its newest location at 4850 Park Street North, complete with a drive-thru for convenience on the commute. Founded in St. Pete, this now marks the 15th coffee shop in Tampa Bay for the company and their first in the neighborhood.

To celebrate, Kahwa is hosting a grand opening celebration on Tuesday, April 5. The café will be giving out free coffee all day long, with the opportunity for one lucky guest to win free coffee for an entire year. The Park Street location is open daily from 6 am – 6 pm.

In addition to excellently-roasted coffee and espresso beverages, Kahwa serves up a delicious array of baked good, pastries, sandwiches and much more. Recently, the company also launched their ‘Big Papi Blend,’ a project with MLB Hall of Famer David ‘Big Papi’ Ortiz to help raise funds for charities.

Kahwa shines as St. Pete success story

The opening of this new location follows the news of the company’s first venture into Dunedin last year. Located at 1520 County Road 1, the Dunedin Kahwa also offers a drive-thru and has been a hit for the city. With each new opening, Kahwa continues to cement its status one of the finest purveyors of coffee in Florida.

Of course, there’s still more to come for the beloved local business. While no opening date has been set, Kahwa is building a new 4th Street drive-thru using three refurbished shipping containers. The unique new spot will be located at 6623 4th Street North.
