When in Destin, do as the locals do. Sure, there’s always a Starbuck’s nearby, but why not support a local Destin coffee shop and hang out with the local residents. Here’s a round-up of some of our favorite 30A and Destin Coffee Shops, including new openings and long-time favorites.
East Pass Coffee Company
A Destin original, (literally), East Past Coffee Company opened in March 2020 by Mackenzie Destin along with her husband Grant Destin and their friend Hayden Shaw. East Pass Coffee quickly became a local favorite. Now with a new larger location, East Pass has more seating, an expanded food menu and spacious outdoor area. The larger space allows East Pass to offer new lunch items like smash burgers, chicken sandwiches and grain bowls along with its signature coffee drinks. They are also now serving craft beer and wine. The Destin’s recommend the ‘breakfast sandwich’ for breakfast, the smash burger for lunch and the salted honey for coffee. In addition, all of the dressings and salsas are homemade and the focaccia on the gabagool is homemade. They try to do as much from scratch as possible. Located shop at 121 Benning Drive, East Pass Coffee is open 7 days a week from 7:30a.m. to 3 p.m.
Maas Coffee Shop
Newman-Dailey Real Estate Agent Lupe Batarao and her hubby, Teddy, recently opened the newest location of Maas Coffee Roasters on Commons Drive. Complementing the original location opened by Jim Maas in Fort Walton Beach, the new Destin coffee shop is located behind Walmart in the heart of Destin and offers coffees and baked goods, including a variety of croissants. Maas Coffee Roasters Destin is open seven days a week from 7 a.m. until 6 p.m. and is located at 4014 Commons Drive.
Camille’s Café & Coffee Shop
Owned by Charles Morgan of the acclaimed Harbor Docks Seafood, Camille’s Café in Crystal Beach celebrates a menu of fresh breakfast and lunch items and delicious coffee options, ranging from espresso and cappuccino to coconut and chai lattes. Located on-site at Beachside Inn, Camille’s Sidewalk Café overlooks the Crystal Beach Public Beach Access and is just steps from the beach for those who want to take their coffee on the go.
