They're clearly a coffee-first spot and their drinks come highly recommended. I appreciated that they had more substantial food than your average coffee shop so I was able to get a few empanadas for lunch. The communal table was filled with folks on their computers (and a few furry friends hanging out below) and everyone was incredibly friendly. The wifi was solid and I didn't feel rushed to finish my drink as there were still spots for others to sit and sip. Overall, this is on my list for great coffee in the area!

Before I ever tasted a single bean, the name stopped me cold. Calusa. A roaster bearing the name of…read morean Indigenous people -- the Calusa, the ancient shell-mound builders, the unconquered lords of South Florida's mangroves and waterways. People who never surrendered. People whose bones are folded into this very soil. As someone who walks through this world carrying Taíno blood and the memory of peoples whose names colonizers tried to erase, that word hit different. It wasn't a gimmick. It wasn't a logo. It was a declaration -- that this land has a story older than any espresso machine, and somebody here understood that. That understanding alone earned my curiosity and my respect before I'd even stepped through the door. "The name carried the weight of a people who never bent. That's the kind of legacy worth building a roastery around." Then I learned the story behind the man behind the roaster -- and it only deepened my respect. Luis Arteaga came home from serving in the United States Marine Corps and did what so many veterans do: he looked for work. No fanfare. No red carpet. Just a man with discipline in his bones and calluses on his hands, trying to find his next mission in a civilian world that doesn't always know what to do with people like that. He found his way to the original owners of Calusa Coffee Roasters. They saw in him what the Corps had always seen -- dependability, grit, and a willingness to learn. They gave him a job. A floor to stand on. And Luis did what Marines do -- he didn't just fill a position, he grew into something greater. Over time, through sweat and dedication and an unmistakable passion for the craft, he rose to become the owner of the very roastery that once took a chance on him. That's not a business story. That's an American story. A veteran's story. And it's exactly the kind of origin that makes a cup of coffee taste like something more than coffee. CALUSA COFFEE ROASTERS IS A SOUTH FLORIDA INSTITUTION Fast forward to today, and Calusa Coffee Roasters isn't just surviving -- it is a staple. Walk into the right cigar bar on a Friday evening and someone at the table will mention the name. Sit down at the right diner counter on a Tuesday morning and a regular will nod toward that familiar bag. In South Florida's rich, layered, cafecito-and-culture coffee landscape, that kind of word-of-mouth is earned over years of consistency, of showing up, of never letting the cup get small. Luis continues to build something that belongs to this community -- rooted in the terroir of a region as complex and layered as its people. The coffee is exceptional. Bold where it should be bold, nuanced where it earns it. The kind of roast that makes you sit down instead of rushing out. That's no accident. That's someone who respects the craft because he was forged in institutions that demand nothing less than your best. "When a Marine finds his mission in a roastery, every bag he puts his name on carries the same standard -- do it right or don't do it at all." Meeting Luis was one of those moments I didn't expect to move me the way it did. We are both moving through the coffee world trying to build something that means something -- something rooted in identity, in service, in the belief that what's in the cup should tell a story worth hearing. And here was a fellow Marine who had walked a road I recognize: uncertain ground, earned footing, and a refusal to quit. And finally, if you are in South Florida and you have not made the pilgrimage to Calusa Coffee Roasters on Commercial Blvd, you are overdue. Go for the coffee -- stay for the story. And if you're lucky enough to meet the man himself, shake his hand. He earned it in more ways than one. To Luis Arteaga and everyone at Calusa: thank you for carrying a name that honors this land. Thank you for honoring the service that shaped you. And thank you for a cup of coffee that carries the weight of all of it without spilling a drop. Semper Fi, brother. Keep roasting.

I stopped by Calusa Coffee Roasters to do coffee run for my fiancee. I ordered the iced Americano…read morefor myself and iced vanilla latte for my fiancee with oatmilk. My fiancee seemed content with their flavors and she didn't yell at me. So based on this, I would assume Calusa Coffee has some decent coffees. Please try this place and see if you enjoyed it as much as my fiancee. The location is a bit weird to enter and exit so be careful driving in and out. They offer limited parking so bring plenty of patience with you when visiting!

They pointed me to the horchata, and I'm genuinely grateful they did because it turned into one of the best cups of coffee I've ever had. Smooth, comforting, and perfectly balanced, it felt like a warm hug in a cup. The space itself is just as inviting. Cozy, calm, and thoughtfully designed, it's the kind of place you don't rush through you settle into. What really stood out was their commitment to quality. From premium ingredients like Elmhurst to a wide range of healthy milk options, every detail feels intentional. Wells Coffee Co isn't just a coffee stop it's an experience I'll gladly come back for.

Entered the drive thru lane and spoke with the owners who advised that the seven different empanadas were freshly made as he was showing me one. I couldnt resist so I ordered the beef. A reasonable price at $3.00 for the size. They do provide one mini red table with two matching chairs on the awning covered outside patio wedged against the business but chose to eat inside my car. Removed the warm empanada from the brown paper bag without a business logo. Being a self proclaimed empanada enthusiast, at first bite I could instantly tell that it was in fact freshly made and not the all too common disappointing frozen offerings. The beef was hot with a mushy type texture and would have liked it chunky, although the taste was top notch, which was intensified by the thin crispy shell. My next visit here I will try the turkey & cheese bagel. The small intimate drive thru cafe was a unique interesting concept.
