Roasted with Passion. Served with Love.
Each of our signature blends are named after winds from around the world. Sirocco crosses the Mediterranean and the Mistral cuts through Provence in southern France. Zonda is a hot wind descending from the Andes in South America. Let our coffee take you on a journey of the senses.

What is Kahwa Coffee?
Kahwa Coffee Roasting Company is Florida's largest independent specialty coffee roaster. Founded in 2006 in St. Petersburg by Raphael and Sarah Perrier, we roast small-batch 100% Arabica coffee, run 21 cafes across Florida's Gulf Coast and Fort Worth, Texas, and ship nationwide.
Who founded Kahwa Coffee?
Kahwa was founded in 2006 by Raphael and Sarah Perrier in St. Petersburg, Florida, and has grown into the state's largest independent coffee roaster with 21 cafes and 800+ wholesale accounts.
What does the name Kahwa mean?
Kahwa is a spin on qahwa, the Arabic word for coffee — the root of the English word ‘coffee.’ It reflects both coffee's heritage and our respect for the craft of roasting.
Does Kahwa Coffee ship nationwide?
Yes. We ship to all 50 states, and orders over $45 get free standard shipping. Every bag is roasted to order and shipped fresh from St. Petersburg.
Does Kahwa Coffee offer a subscription?
Yes. Choose delivery every 30, 45, or 60 days, with free shipping over $45. Every shipment is roasted fresh for that delivery, and you can change your blend, adjust frequency, or cancel anytime.
What is Kahwa's most popular blend?
Sirocco is our signature blend and the house coffee in every Kahwa cafe — a medium-dark roast with notes of dark cherry and honey, a full body, and a smooth, low-acidity finish. It also makes an excellent cold brew.
What is the best blend for espresso?
Mistral is our house espresso, used for espresso drinks in every cafe — a medium roast with a strong body and a sweet, creamy finish. It shines in cappuccinos and lattes and works well in a French press.
What is the best coffee for cold brew?
Calima is our dedicated cold brew blend — medium-light with dark chocolate, hazelnut, and a crisp fruit finish. Sirocco is also a popular cold brew for its clean, naturally sweet, low-acidity cup.
Where is Kahwa Coffee roasted?
Every batch is roasted at our own facility in St. Petersburg, Florida. We don't stock pre-roasted inventory — every bag is roasted to order and packaged on demand for freshness.
Where are Kahwa's cafe locations?
We operate 21 cafes — 20 across Florida's Gulf Coast, including St. Petersburg, Tampa, Oldsmar, Palm Harbor, Dunedin, Sarasota, and Lakewood Ranch, plus one in Fort Worth, Texas. Kahwa is also served at Tampa International Airport and the Tampa Bay Rays stadium.
Is Kahwa available in grocery stores?
Yes. Kahwa is brewed in select Publix cafes in the Southeast, and available on the shelf in Whole Foods, Fresh Market, Rollin Oats, and Earthfare in Florida.
