OUR STORY
"Home Away
From Home"
La Florida Coffee and Wine was born out of our desire to
provide downtown Tallahassee with an experience of "home away
from home". It's a place where one can find the dietary staples needed to get through the day - coffee, wine, and bread - where warmth, hospitality, and the highest level of service help foster the building
and nurturing of relationships with others in the community.
Our goal is to get people to loosen ties, appreciate fine coffee, wine,
and hors d'oeuvres in relaxed company, and view downtown as
more than just a work destination.
As lovers of history and the story that makes this state home, we
wanted to highlight the name, La Florida, as the early Spanish
explorers led by Ponce de Leon called it when they first came to
Florida during the Easter Season and immediately dubbed it
"La Pasqua Florida".
The name also honors the La Florida Martyrs, whose witness to
Christ and spirit of evangelization in the new world helped shape
the Christian spirit of our society here in America, which we
pray continues to shape our hearts, our families, our work, and
our community!
