Founded in 2016 in Winter Park, Foxtail Coffee Co. is a Florida-born cafe “where coffee meets community.” It’s been growing fast since its launch, and it now has roughly 100 locations listed either open or coming soon on its website. As the brand continues to grow in its home state (it also has cafes in states as far-flung as Georgia, Michigan, and Nevada), one of its next openings is planned for Polk County, opening in Davenport.
The Davenport location will open at 400 Legacy Village Drive, Suite 103, according to submitted plan review documents.
Nick DiPasqua, one of franchisees behind the location, told What Now on Wednesday that the Davenport location is expected to open some time in October. “It’s opening in a new development, right across from a pretty large apartment complex that was just built,” DiPasqua said.
DiPasqua is a third-generation Subway franchisee, and as the family business started looking to diversify its brand, Foxtail Coffee came to seem like an obvious choice.
“We were vetting a handful of brands, and I had already been a customer of Foxtail since they opened their original location in Winter Park. I’m a big coffee drinker, and between talking with Alex, the founder, and a knowing a bit about franchising already, we just felt like this was in our wheelhouse. It’s a neighborhood hangout, where you can have a cup of coffee, meet friends, have a meeting. We want people to come in and enjoy our space.”
Foxtail Coffee serves a wide variety of coffee drinks, ranging from espresso-based classics to the highly popular cold brew. The menu will also feature ice cream by Kelly’s Homemade Ice Cream. Kelly’s flavors have included favorites like Blondie (White chocolate ice cream blended with Golden Oreo® Cookies, Heath bits and white chocolate chips), Cake Batter N’ Sprinkles (Sweet yellow cake batter ice cream layered with rainbow sprinkles), and Banana Pudding (Banana cake batter ice cream with marshmallow cream + Nilla® Wafers).
