There's a brand-new coffee roastery in town. Called King State, the fresh addition is located at 520 E. Floribraska Ave. in Tampa Heights.

Located in a former gas station, King State offers all-day breakfast, chill vibes and friendly service. Coffee options include cold brew, drip and espresso drinks, such as an iced cortado. Beers include its own Imperial stout with caramelized local orange blossom honey, and a selection of wines are also featured on the drink menu. Breakfast and lunch items range from cinnamon buns to a biscuit sandwich filled with bacon, egg and cheese. King State also roasts its own coffee weekly and ships it fresh to customers around the country.

King State has already attracted fans thus far, with a five-star rating out of five reviews on Yelp.

Jim C., who reviewed this spot on July 6, shared, The KS Coffee Brown pairs very well with a meal—smooth, light [with] no strong undertones, yet a beautiful dark beer. Interior has a bright, inviting feel that makes you want to linger over your coffee or beer."

Charlene V. wrote, "A very happy new coffee spot that's super close to home! They make their own vanilla and mocha flavoring. The vanilla was sweet in a good way and warm. The mocha was like a dark salty chocolate—really great flavor. Their breakfast options are really tasty too."

Intrigued? Stop in to try it for yourself. King State is open from 8 a.m.–10 p.m. on Tuesday through Thursday, 8 a.m.–11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and 8 a.m.–4 p.m. on Sunday. (It's closed on Monday.)
