With its flagship location at 100 Indian Rocks Road in Belleair Bluffs, Belleair Coffee Company is a coffee roaster with a mission.
“Growing awareness of how farming techniques, production methods, and business practices impact natural environments, social networks and quality of life has changed how coffee is grown and harvested, how coffee beans are sourced, how products are packaged and transported, and even how fresh beans are treated or roasted,” says the brand’s website. “Our goal is to adopt, encourage and advocate for these societally and environmentally beneficial changes, for reasons of sustainability and increased fairness, but also because they are in line with our mission to provide the most interesting and satisfying coffee possible.”
Now, the brand appears to be expanding its service within the Tampa Bay region.
Plan review paperwork was submitted by Perkatory LLC for a restaurant called Belleair Coffee Company at 1158 Seventh St NW in Largo. That address is currently listed as the site of the brand’s “Rosery” (roastery?) on its website. It would thus appear that coffee will soon be served at that location (likely as part of a larger roastery).
What Now reached out to co-owner Christopher Whalen on Wednesday to inquire about plans for a second cafe from Belleair Coffee Company. Whalen was not immediately available for comment.
