The Bradenton Times | Banyan Coffee Opens Palmetto Location

PALMETTO — Banyan Coffee Company, a local craft coffee roaster that has been wowing java connoisseurs at local farmers’ markets and through its delivery service, has opened its first brick-and-mortar coffee shop. Located in downtown Palmetto, the store is open Tuesday to Friday, 7 a.m. to 1 p.m., and Saturday, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. (closed Sunday and Monday).

“First of all, we want to thank so many people for making this a reality,” said owners Josh and Abbey Schmitt on the company’s website. “Without family, friends, and Banyan supporters, our coffee shop dream would not exist. We wanted to create a coffee shop environment for folks to feel welcome. The specialty coffee culture can be very intimidating therefore we launched our coffee truck to provide a more comfortable vibe to everyone. The coffee truck wasn’t enough for our coffee enthusiast, so we decided to build a coffee shop to meet the needs for the day-to-day coffee experience.”
