What was once an espresso pushcart business on the West Coast in Oregon, is now setting it’s sights on the Sunshine State for their newest location. Is Dutch Bros Coffee opening in Tampa Bay? The famous drive thru Dutch Bros Coffee has plans to open its first Tampa Bay location in South Tampa.
According to recently filed permit plans through the city of Tampa’s permit site, The proposed Dutch Bros coffee opening in Tampa would be occupying a 950 square-foot drive thru location. They filed for the rezoning and re-construction plans at 3616 W Ballast point Blvd.
The proposed Dutch Bros Coffee location would replace the Baywash Car Wash that currently sits at the location. You can find nearly a dozen car washes in the Tampa Bay area within a few miles so it wouldn’t be missed.
