There are a lot of great places to get coffee in West Palm Beach, here are 5 of the best.

Harold’s

An art-centric coffee destination with a too-cool-for-school grunge vibe, Harold’s Coffee Lounge boasts an off-the-beaten path allure that attracts some of West Palm Beach’s most interesting characters and most successful residents. Located in the Northwood neighborhood, Harold’s Coffee Lounge offers a judgment-free zone. It’s the kind of place where it would feel completely natural to find yourself in a deep discussion about the meaning of life with strangers. Just make sure to save time for a gander at the coffee paraphernalia and local art displayed around the shop.

Where: 509 Northwood Road, West Palm Beach

Sant Ambroeus

Technically located on Palm Beach Island, Sant Ambroeus is a whimsically romantic café with Milan and Manhattan glitz. One section of the restaurant offers a seated-meal style of service, while the café-esque area at the front is a place where patrons can order at the counter and then find a snug corner for typing and chatting away. Of course, with Sant Ambroeus’s Italian roots, the coffee is great. But, aside from that, we highly recommend their hot chocolate.

Subculture Coffee

You can’t talk about coffee shops or cafés in West Palm Beach without mentioning Subculture, the undisputed crowd favorite and a natural place to plug in. All walks of life gather at Subculture Coffee and The Annex, its attached eatery, to meet, work, play and chat. Subculture is everything you’d want in a neighborhood coffee shop: friendly-hip vibe, a smattering of cool locals, lots of laptop space (both indoors and outdoors in the mural-covered alley) and of course, one memorable cup of coffee. With all that and the smell of carefully selected beans roasting in-house in small batches, it’s easy to stay and linger here amidst the steampunk-ish décor.
