PALMETTO, FL — The owners of specialty coffee roaster Banyan Coffee Co. got their start roasting beans at home and eventually operating a bright blue mini truck — a 1984 Cushman Truckster.
Now, the Schmitts have taken Banyan to a new level by opening a brick-and-mortar coffee shop and roastery at 1110 10th Street W. in Palmetto at the end of September.
The couple has mirrored the shop after breweries, showcasing their roasting process and equipment for the public to watch.
