Deke's in Delray

a roaster that actually calls delray beach home, not just a satellite of somewhere bigger. deke's sits on ne 5th ave, which puts you a short walk from atlantic avenue's noise, though the roastery itself has its own reason to exist independent of the surrounding foot traffic. the regulars here are genuinely loyal, the kind of loyal that takes years to build and says more than any campaign could. if you're passing through south florida and skipping delray for miami or fort lauderdale, that's a gap worth closing. the sourcing and roasting happen under the same roof, so what ends up in your cup has fewer hands between harvest and here. get there in the morning, before the atlantic avenue crowd filters up ne 5th.
