The burgeoning coffee landscape in Florida welcomes its newest addition in Fort Myers with the opening of Take Two Coffee. What began as an aspirational project operating out of a trailer in a friend's backyard has organically evolved into a captivating coffee bar nestled in the city's vibrant core. This establishment is rapidly gaining recognition for its superb coffee, freshly baked donuts, and an inclusive ethos that champions coffee enjoyment for all.
\nTake Two Coffee originated from the shared dream of two friends, Caleb MacPherson and Hunter, who envisioned a fresh start in the coffee industry. With over a decade of experience, their aim was to create something more intimate and purpose-driven. What commenced as a small-scale backyard endeavor has blossomed beyond their initial expectations, expanding into a full-fledged downtown Fort Myers cafe, complete with wholesale roasting, catering services, equipment sales and maintenance, and consultancy for aspiring coffee entrepreneurs. Despite this growth, their core values remain steadfast: a commitment to excellence, serving patrons with genuine intent, and striving to leave a positive impact on every individual.
\nTheir newly established shop, located at 3594 Broadway in Fort Myers, offers an intimate yet expansive atmosphere within its approximately 800-square-foot confines. Adorned with a retro aesthetic featuring warm orange, vibrant teal, and crisp white hues, the space is meticulously designed to exude warmth, hospitality, and thoughtful consideration. It's a place where exceptional coffee and delectable donuts converge, providing a tranquil haven for patrons to unwind and enjoy.
\nTake Two Coffee's approach to coffee revolves around making delightful beverages approachable and dismantling the perceived exclusivity often associated with specialty coffee. Their mission is to simplify the coffee experience, ensuring it is inviting and enjoyable for everyone, regardless of their prior knowledge or experience with coffee.
\nTo deliver on their promise of quality, Take Two Coffee is outfitted with top-tier equipment. Their setup includes a sophisticated La Marzocco Linea PB espresso machine, meticulously paired with a Mahlkönig Grind-By-Sync grinder. This combination ensures precision and consistency in every cup, highlighting their dedication to the craft of coffee making.
\nFrom its very inception, Take Two Coffee has been built with an unwavering commitment to sustainability, extending beyond mere product service to encompass responsible stewardship. For them, sustainability is not a marketing buzzword but a foundational principle guiding their operational choices. They maintain a focused menu to minimize waste, roast coffee in small batches to guarantee freshness and optimize efficiency, and ethically source their beans from producers dedicated to quality, environmental care, and fair labor practices. Within the shop, compostable packaging is prioritized, single-use plastics are limited, and the use of reusable cups is actively encouraged. While acknowledging that perfection is an ongoing journey, they are diligently constructing a business model they can proudly pass down to future generations, one mindful step at a time.
\nTake Two Coffee officially opened its doors in May 2025, marking a significant milestone in their journey to become a beloved fixture in the Fort Myers community. This opening signifies the culmination of their vision and the beginning of many shared coffee moments.
