I stopped in North Port during a long drive and was looking for a good coffee shop, so I'm glad I…read morefound this spot. There don't seem to be too many coffee shop options in the area, and you can definitely see why this place is popular. It's attached to a gas station, but it's completely its own separate business and doesn't feel integrated with the gas station at all. I had a latte, and it was excellent. The menu was also surprisingly large, with plenty of food options, including what looked like a good number of healthier choices. The staff were friendly, and genuinely seemed to enjoy being there, which is always a great sign. There's spots to sit and hang out, but I wouldn't call it cozy. Overall, this is a solid coffee shop, especially in an area that doesn't seem to have many options.

Los Dos Cristianos might be the best coffee in all of North Port. This team prides themselves on…read moretheir craft--they are both importers and roasters who care about the final product. Besides serving excellent coffee in their café, they also supply coffee to other businesses across Southwest Florida. On this visit, I ordered a cappuccino. In my opinion, a great cup of coffee is about more than just the ingredients; it's also about the barista, the equipment, and their technique. The barista here crafted a strong espresso with just the right ratio of milk and perfect foam. Delightful! The café itself is cozy and warm, and as usual, it was crowded. There's easy off-street parking since it's located in a small commercial strip center. This place represents what a great coffee experience should be--and it's right here in North Port. Salute!

We were so excited to discover that Kahwa Coffee has a new location in Port Charlotte. What a…read moreterrific find. We visited on a Saturday morning, and the shop was busy and lively. This is a full-service, sit-down coffee shop. It's not just a drive-through like so many places these days. A comfortable spot to relax indoors with air conditioning, or you can choose outdoor seating at tables with umbrellas if you'd rather enjoy your coffee alfresco. Since it was a warm day, I ordered an iced coffee. The barista was friendly and prepared my medium roast with care. It was flavorful, refreshingly cold, and perfectly balanced once I added some cream and sugar for a touch of richness. I thoroughly enjoyed my drink, and I'll definitely be back again.

The ambiance here was really nice and I loved the amount of fresh/unique offerings. We ended up…read moregetting a Fusion Fizz which was one of their handcrafted energy drink offerings served with coconut milk, a hot chai and a quiche. I found the energy drink to be a bit lackluster compared to its description, I think I wished it had a bit more flavor. The dragon fruit flavor seemed to be lost amongst the coconut milk. The chai, however, was full of spice and delicious. I really appreciated that they offered multiple milk options including dairy free/vegan. The star was definitely the quiche though which we got heated up, the crust was flaky and buttery while the egg was well seasoned with tomatoes and mozzarella sprinkled throughout. The baristas were really kind and were patient as we perused the menu. I found the drinks to be a bit on the pricier side, especially for modifications. I don't think this would be my everyday coffee shop but definitely plan to stop by as a treat for some more of their baked goods when I am in town.

You've made the start of the week even better, and I'm so glad I have another excuse to stop in and see Jackie and the amazing team!

As a regular customer, I am writing this review because the lack of management support here has…read morebecome impossible to ignore. I recently witnessed an incident where a customer openly told the employees to 'shut up,' and the manager completely failed to say a single word to defend them or tell that customer he isn't welcome back. Sadly, this isn't an isolated incident. Management consistently lets people treat the staff rudely, and it has become an everyday thing.The baristas are left to deal with constant discomfort and workplace abuse completely alone, with no regard for their well-being. Leadership needs to start protecting their employees, stand up to hostile customers, and ban the people making this an unsafe environment for the team

I had heard nothing but amazing things about their Punta Gorda location. I drove by last weekend and saw they weren't open yet. I was so excited to hear they were opening this past week. I already had plans to go today. I had heard that people were waiting in line all week long to get in. I left to arrive right at opening at 8 a.m. Once I arrived there at one minute to 8 a.m., they were already opened with a line inside to across the parking lot outside. I said to myself this has to be good bagels. It actually didn't take too long to make it inside to the counter and I was out by 8:20. For all those in line behind me, sorry I left just one plain bagel. I heard they were making more. I got home and the bagels were still warm. The inside soft, the shell crispy. Oh my gosh. This makes up for all the bad bagels I've had since moving to Florida. Prices are reasonable. The interior has small tables perfect for those weekend breakfast dates. I highly recommend waiting in line and trying this spot out. Especially if you are a Northern bagel snob like myself. Or try out their Punta Gorda location so they don't run out of bagels for us Northern North Port / Port Charlotte people.

It is good just thought it would be better for it to be a bagel spot. Maybe their lunch is a little better and could get to 4 stars but that would be reach goal. The staff were polite and nice. Service was quick and they got out food out to us. Recommend asking for cream cheese on side if toasted bagel if not fine to put on there.
