Je veux un kahwa, s'il vous plait!

Hunting & Gathering

Downtown's newest coffee addition Kahwa (French slang for coffee) is perhaps best known for roasting its own single-origin beans, pouring out full-bodied blends named after winds from different regions of the world. But Kahwa isn't simply a coffee destination; snap out of your pre-caffeinated haze and notice the fully-stocked case full to the brim with pastry gold. 

And that's just what the croissants are: flaky, smooth, chocolate and buttery gold. A store manager arrives at 6:45am to begin baking the nuggets of dough flown in from France. If Kahwa is your early-morning pit stop, it's impossible to miss the mouthwatering fragrance drifting out to the sidewalk tables. Leave yourself a few extra minutes to get to work or spend a lazy Parisian-inspired afternoon sipping the Mistral espresso and savoring a few flaky morsels while sitting on the terrasse. 

Kahwa Coffee, 1487 2nd St., Sarasota, 941- 203-8971
