Best Coffee Shops in Destin

Looking for the best coffee in Destin? I’ve got you covered! Cute coffee shops are kind of my thing. I love discovering new ones and frequenting local favorites. As a Destin photographer, I enjoy settling in and editing photos while sipping on a cold brew. Whether you want a simple drip coffee from the freshest beans in town or a sweet, seasonal latte, here are my go-to spots to get a caffeine fix.

East Pass Coffee Co

East Pass Coffee Co is a locally owned all-day cafe that offers great coffee, delicious food, and a welcoming atmosphere. The menu features traditional breakfast and lunch items with a creative twist. I especially love the Harvest Bowl, Breakfast Sandwich, and Double Smash Burger, but you can’t go wrong with anything they create! As for coffee, the sweet cream sun bum cold brew is my favorite. There is cozy indoor seating and also a large grassy area with picnic tables and room for kids and pets to play (best of all, it’s fenced in!). Aside from the amazing food and drinks, I love that they value community and want to make it a space where locals (and visitors) can gather. They often partner with other small businesses and entrepreneurs in Destin to host events such as pop-up yoga classes, movie nights, and Craft Club (you can learn more about that here).

Maas

The cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, and delicious drinks make this a must-try coffee shop in Destin! Maas Coffee Roasters roasts their own beans every week, so you know the coffee is going to be fresh and flavorful. Their menu features a variety of lattes, drip coffees, and cold brews (my go-to order is a cold brew with coconut cold foam). Plus they have fresh pastries from Bon Appetit French Bakery and Cafe, a locally owned and operated bakery making from scratch pastries and croissants. Keep your eye out for their next Bean Rap, which is a fun event where you can learn about the coffee roasting process and enjoy a French Press tasting of all of their coffee beans (you can also purchase your favorite beans to take home with you!).

Beignets and Brew

Located along Destin Harbor, this cute spot offers specialty coffee, New Orleans style beignets, outdoor seating, and stunning views of the water. Their expansive coffee menu includes everything from a classic americano to sweet frozen coffees topped with whipped cream and caramel drizzle. I personally love their iced Nutella latte. And pro tip: park at the top of the hill between the palm trees otherwise you’ll have to pay for parking. Beignets and Brew is the perfect place to enjoy a sweet treat as you relax on the patio or dock and watch the boats go by.

Causeway Coffee

Causeway Coffee is a stylish spot that serves delicious sips and bites. The drink menu features classic coffee drinks, which can be customized with various syrups, milks, and cold foam. You’ll also find lotus energy drinks, affogato, and more. If you want to sample a few, order the monthly flight board! It features four of their seasonal creations. Hungry? Try one of their waffle pops, baked goods or toasts. Best of all, the owners of Causeway are passionate about supporting local and global communities in need. They donate the proceeds from every cup of coffee to ministries like Mission of Hope, so with every cup of coffee you enjoy, you are supporting missions around the world.

Camille’s

Camille’s is a sidewalk cafe located in the quaint Crystal Beach community that serves up coffee, Bloody Marys, breakfast tacos, sandwiches, smoothies and other mouthwatering menu items. You can enjoy them there or take them to the beach (which is right across the street). Their coffee drinks are made with locally roasted Destin Coffee. The coconut latte is my go-to. Maybe you’re sensing a pattern here… I clearly love coconut coffee drinks! 

The Palms Coffeehouse

Located within The Palms of Destin Resort and Conference Center, this on-site coffeeshop offers plenty of comfortable seating, signature drinks, sweet treats and more. It’s a great place to get some work done, catch up with friends or get a coffee to go. I highly recommend the Salty Coconut drink! You don’t need to be a guest to go there, just park in the reserved restaurant spots in front of the resort and walk on in.

Capriccio Cafe

Capriccio Cafe is a locally owned Italian cafe that specializes in gourmet coffee, pastries, crepes, sandwiches, and salads. Their coffee, meats, and cheeses are imported from Italy so you know you’re getting an authentic experience! This cozy spot is tucked away just before Holiday Isle.
