| Jo-Lynn Brown

Kahwa Coffee is expanding its Tampa footprint with a new café set to open later this year on West Kennedy Boulevard.

The 1,600-square-foot location, at 2802 W Kennedy Blvd, will offer a drive-thru, indoor café and both indoor and outdoor seating. It’s slated to open in August or September of 2025.

“We’re thrilled to bring Kahwa to Kennedy Boulevard—this new location is all about convenience and community,” said Raphael Perrier, co-founder of Kahwa Coffee. “With a drive-thru, indoor café and outdoor seating, we’re creating a welcoming space for everyone to enjoy their favorite cup, however they like it.”

Kahwa’s Henderson Boulevard café will remain open.
