Old Town Cafe Review
Old Town Cafe
Palm Harbor, Florida
If you’re in Palm Harbor, Florida and looking for some good coffee, delicious food and friendly staff, then Old Town Cafe is worth checking out.
It’s not the type of coffee shop that roasts their own coffee, or just focuses on the coffee, but for the past couple of weeks, I’ve been visiting their regularly on my lunch break.
Old Town Cafe has a relaxing, laid back atmosphere with a bit of a coastal Florida feel. There’s an indoor dinning area that has a comfortable coffee house feel. There’s an outdoor area that’s perfect for the days when it’s actually not one hundred degrees in Florida.
During my first venture there, I tried their iced coffee. It was above average, but because it was iced coffee, I had a hard time pulling out any of the individual flavors or anything like that. I’m looking forward to going back and trying their regular coffee when it isn’t ninety plus degrees outside.
I’ve also sampled their Mocha. The chocolate was just about perfect – rich flavor and full of sugar. My sweet tooth loved it. The espresso had a well defined taste that was dark, nutty and complimented the chocolate flavor well.
Old Town Cafe gets their coffee beans from Baby’s Coffee, a company out of Key West, Florida. Their claim to fame is that they’re the southernmost coffee roaster in America. In the near future, I plan on further investigating their coffees directly.
If you’re hungry, they serve breakfast, lunch and dinner all day long. They serve everything from bagels, to salads to Cuban Pressed sandwiches. I can’t get enough of the Chicken Philly sandwich and hope they move it from just being a featured special, to a regular part of their menu.
As an added bonus, they’re environmentally conscious with their cups, straws, and bags are made out of corn and their to-go boxes are made of sugar cane. That’s always worth a few additional points in my book.
If you’re in the area, I’d recommend checking it out whether you just want coffee or a whole meal.

Its always nice finding a diamond in the rough. I’ve found in particular that travelling through the southern states can be hard on the coffee addict. If you are like me, you can’t settle for a watery, tasteless brew!

I’ve noticed the same thing. While there definitely are some good coffee places here, it’s not like when I lived up north in Chicago or New York, where there was coffee everywhere.
I have seen this place personally at least 100 times over the last few years but never actually went there, maybe I will add it to my weekend list.
wow this place looks picturesque, did you say whether they had WiFi?
John – It’s definitely worth checking out – great food and good coffee, plus it’s not far away at all.
Nomad – I’ve been so busy that I haven’t checked to see if it has wifi, I’m going to have to check next time that I’m there.
