Foxtail Coffee Co. will open its first Lakeland cafe in the Shops at Lake Wire (322 Kathleen Rd.) on Wednesday, July 9 at 6:30 a.m. This Central Florida favorite is known for ethically sourced beans, creative seasonal menus, and cozy hangouts.

Owners Alejandro and Natalie De Orduna are superfans-turned-franchisees, so we trust their drink recs. Alejandro suggests a half-and-half latte with sugar-free caramel + Natalie’s a fan of cafe con leche with condensed milk, but there’s even more to the menu:

  • Brewed-to-order French press, pour over, and siphon coffee
  • Exclusive tea blends
  • Bakery, breakfast, and lunch items
  • Kelly’s Homemade Ice Cream, with flavors like banana pudding + cookie butter swirl

Foxtail will open early and stay up late in the new plaza next to the Prospect Lake Wire apartments. Head there to get some work done, connect with a friend, or just linger over the single-source roast of the day.
