The Great Lakes Coffee Roasting Company

the name stock island still throws people off, even locals. most of the florida keys crowd heads straight for duval street and misses what's happening a few miles out on shrimp road, where the fishing industry and the working waterfront haven't been entirely swapped out for souvenir shops yet. great lakes coffee roasting company sits in that gap, and if you make the short drive out to suite 4, you'll find a place that takes its coffee seriously enough that its regulars keep coming back in numbers that speak for themselves. the specificity of a michigan-rooted name operating in the subtropical keys is a strange, pleasant fact to sit with. come early, before the heat of the day settles in, and order whatever's on as a pour-over.
