Wondering where to grab your morning cup of coffee? Florida’s Space Coast has built a strong independent coffee scene, from beachside surf cafés to family-owned roasters. Here’s why the Space Coast is a great destination for coffee lovers, plus our favorite Space Coast, FL, coffee shops across Cocoa Beach, Cape Canaveral, Melbourne, and Titusville.

Why the Space Coast Is a Great Destination for Local Coffee Culture

Independent shops here roast their own beans, bake their own pastries, and make their own syrups. Several shops double as art galleries, vintage clothing stores, or community meeting spots; they are worth a stop even if you are only in town for a few days. Most of the shops on this list are within a short drive of Kennedy Space Center, the beach, or the Indian River Lagoon, so working a coffee stop into a day of sightseeing is easy. Starting your day off right with a cup of coffee is always a good idea, and you’ll be supporting local businesses as well!

Best Coffee Shops in Cocoa Beach and Cape Canaveral

Cocoa Beach and Cape Canaveral hold four of the best independent Cocoa Beach coffee shops on the Space Coast, each with its own character.

Surfinista

The Surfinista is Cocoa Beach’s original acai café, serving organic locally roasted coffee, cold brew, real fruit smoothies, acai bowls, and vegan and vegetarian food. The vibe is surf shop meets health café, with an adjoining surf shop and a laid-back lounge for hanging out.

Juice ‘N Java Café

Juice ‘N Java is a Cocoa Beach institution roasting coffee on-site every few days for peak freshness. Expect all-day breakfast, house-baked pastries, fruit smoothies, live music, and one of the more welcoming atmospheres in town. The shop offers free parking with any purchase, which is a rare perk this close to the beach.

The Green Room Café

The Green Room Café is one of the best options for guests seeking organic sandwiches, wraps, salads, smoothies, and vegan or vegetarian meals with their coffee. They are famous for their acai bowls and use biodegradable takeout packaging.

Café Monte Carlo

Café Monte Carlo is a quaint Cape Canaveral cafe known for Cuban espresso, Café con Leche, artisan coffee, and pressed breakfast and lunch sandwiches. Space-themed decor inside and a lovely outdoor patio make it a fun stop before or after a Kennedy Space Center visit.
