Latitude 23.5° started in 2003 in Sarasota, Florida.
Since that time, we have been hand roasting some of the worlds finest coffee for local Sarasotans
as well as coffee enthusiasts everywhere. We strive to deliver a consistently excellent cup.
Perhaps youve experienced our coffee through one of the numerous venues where Latitude coffee is available.
As we continue to grow, we would love to hear what you think about your Latitude 23.5 experience. Feel free
to give us a call, drop us a line, or stop by to tour the roasting facility.
From all of us at Latitude 23.5, thank you for your interest and support!
