There aren't enough superlatives for Palm Coffee Roasters. For those that won't read the rest of…read morethis let me just start out by saying the Plague Doctor Dark Roast is the best we've ever had. My girlfriend and I recently moved to Hollywood and try to shop locally wherever possible. We are coffee addicts and finding a good roaster was the first on our list. We sampled coffee from the handful of local roasters and Palm Coffee was not only the best in the area, upon first sip, it was the best we ever had. We now exclusively drink it, always the Plague Doctor Dark Roast. Also if we ever have guests, I make sure to brew a pot and I don't taint the jury by lavishing praise on it. My dad, a true coffee snob, immediately said how good our coffee was. Other coffee snob friends of mine were visiting from Vermont and I neglected to put in our order in time. Camilla at Palm made special arrangements for me to get a 12 oz bag just in time. These people are sweet, local, and their coffee is absolutely bananas good. Also if you buy a bag, it comes with branded cups and stickers! STICKERS! They're the best.

Argyle coffee has been popping up all over the place and for some reason my husband thought that…read morethey had a coffee shop. So we did a few drive bys trying to find the shop. Lol One Saturday after a horrible breakfast experience, we decided to do another drive by and noticed the doors open. So we parked and proceeded to go in. We were immediately greeted by Manny, the owner. He had just opened up and was getting ready to start his day. Felt kind of bad walking in but he was gracious enough to give us a tour of the shop and even explained the roasting process and what each machine did. As if the tour wasn't enough, he even offered to give us a private cupping session. It was so awesome! We learned the proper way to make coffee and had the opportunity to try some. Ended up tasting the Ethiopia and Colombia. The Ethiopia was nice, light, and had an interesting flavor. It was like tea and I enjoyed drinking it as is. The Colombia was also tasty but on the bolder side. Fun Fact: did you know... bitter tasting coffee can be caused by the water being too hot or by over steeping. Delicious coffee... Super nice owner... recommend stopping in and getting your bag of beans! This location is not a shop! Lol But they welcome customers to come in to buy coffee bags and hang out.

If you think you're a coffee lover then pay a visit with Manny. He has a passion for the bean and…read moregenerously shares his interest. This is not a coffee shop but a wholesale outlet for coffee beans. On Saturday he will sell coffee directly to the public in 12 ounce bags or more. You'll learn about variety and regions, complex and simple flavors as well as how to store and prepare your Java. If you want decaf, cream or sugar then this is not your place. The atmosphere is simple and that works fine. Just as Manny says 'if you feel like you might lose an organ, you're in the right place'. I was in the right place and the taste of the coffee was well worth the treasure hunt to find this coffee pro.

I needed a coffee to start the day and found this little shop on the corner. Since I typically…read moredrink coffee without any add-in's, I asked about the drip coffee selection. The barista showed me the bag of Rwandan beans, and I chose the 16 oz. size. While I waited, I sat comfortably with my wife and daughter at one of the few tables. We were the only ones in the place until we left about 30 minutes later. The barista apologized for the wait, but I waived off the apology. Here's why - he ground the beans and made my drip coffee from scratch! The roast was good to the last drop. Your typical coffee selections are available and tea and food selections are also available. Other notes: The shop is located in the midst of an apartment and retail mix, so the parking seemed confusing due to the signage. However, a designated LoaTHC spot opened up and I was able to park without concern.

I was able to place my order while I was working. The gentleman was super helpful and kind with suggestions. I will definitely be coming back and the coffee was delicious. You can even order ground coffee to take home. Everything was fresh and clean.

Before I ever tasted a single bean, the name stopped me cold. Calusa. A roaster bearing the name of…read morean Indigenous people -- the Calusa, the ancient shell-mound builders, the unconquered lords of South Florida's mangroves and waterways. People who never surrendered. People whose bones are folded into this very soil. As someone who walks through this world carrying Taíno blood and the memory of peoples whose names colonizers tried to erase, that word hit different. It wasn't a gimmick. It wasn't a logo. It was a declaration -- that this land has a story older than any espresso machine, and somebody here understood that. That understanding alone earned my curiosity and my respect before I'd even stepped through the door. "The name carried the weight of a people who never bent. That's the kind of legacy worth building a roastery around." Then I learned the story behind the man behind the roaster -- and it only deepened my respect. Luis Arteaga came home from serving in the United States Marine Corps and did what so many veterans do: he looked for work. No fanfare. No red carpet. Just a man with discipline in his bones and calluses on his hands, trying to find his next mission in a civilian world that doesn't always know what to do with people like that. He found his way to the original owners of Calusa Coffee Roasters. They saw in him what the Corps had always seen -- dependability, grit, and a willingness to learn. They gave him a job. A floor to stand on. And Luis did what Marines do -- he didn't just fill a position, he grew into something greater. Over time, through sweat and dedication and an unmistakable passion for the craft, he rose to become the owner of the very roastery that once took a chance on him. That's not a business story. That's an American story. A veteran's story. And it's exactly the kind of origin that makes a cup of coffee taste like something more than coffee. CALUSA COFFEE ROASTERS IS A SOUTH FLORIDA INSTITUTION Fast forward to today, and Calusa Coffee Roasters isn't just surviving -- it is a staple. Walk into the right cigar bar on a Friday evening and someone at the table will mention the name. Sit down at the right diner counter on a Tuesday morning and a regular will nod toward that familiar bag. In South Florida's rich, layered, cafecito-and-culture coffee landscape, that kind of word-of-mouth is earned over years of consistency, of showing up, of never letting the cup get small. Luis continues to build something that belongs to this community -- rooted in the terroir of a region as complex and layered as its people. The coffee is exceptional. Bold where it should be bold, nuanced where it earns it. The kind of roast that makes you sit down instead of rushing out. That's no accident. That's someone who respects the craft because he was forged in institutions that demand nothing less than your best. "When a Marine finds his mission in a roastery, every bag he puts his name on carries the same standard -- do it right or don't do it at all." Meeting Luis was one of those moments I didn't expect to move me the way it did. We are both moving through the coffee world trying to build something that means something -- something rooted in identity, in service, in the belief that what's in the cup should tell a story worth hearing. And here was a fellow Marine who had walked a road I recognize: uncertain ground, earned footing, and a refusal to quit. And finally, if you are in South Florida and you have not made the pilgrimage to Calusa Coffee Roasters on Commercial Blvd, you are overdue. Go for the coffee -- stay for the story. And if you're lucky enough to meet the man himself, shake his hand. He earned it in more ways than one. To Luis Arteaga and everyone at Calusa: thank you for carrying a name that honors this land. Thank you for honoring the service that shaped you. And thank you for a cup of coffee that carries the weight of all of it without spilling a drop. Semper Fi, brother. Keep roasting.
