FORT MYERS, FL, UNITED STATES, February 12, 2026 \/EINPresswire.com<\/a>\/ — The Seed and Bean Market in Cape Coral is proud to announce that it is the first cannabis caf\u00e9<\/a> in Florida and one of the first in the nation to receive a liquor license. This popular restaurant opened in downtown Cape Coral in December at The Cove at 47th. The original Seed and Bean Market located in Fort Myers was the first cannabis caf\u00e9 in Florida and the second in the United States. <\/p>\n

\u201cThis is an exciting announcement for our restaurant and loyal customers. To receive this liquor license included an intensive application and screening process that we passed with flying colors,\u201d said Cole Peacock, co-founder of Seed and Bean Market and Caloosahatchee Cannabis Company Investments. \u201cThis designation will allow our incredible bartending team to create a menu of delicious and memorable drinks and cocktails.\u201d<\/p>\n

With this news, Seed and Bean Market wants to educate the public on what really is a cannabis caf\u00e9:

\n\u2022\tThe Seed and Bean Market does not serve marijuana.

\n\u2022\tThey serve hemp-derived CBD\/THC products, which are fully legal under both federal and Florida law.

\n\u2022\tAll its products are highly regulated, state-approved, third-party lab tested and verified compliance.

\n\u2022\tAlcohol and hemp products are not mixed unless a guest makes a specific,

\nintentional choice \u2014 and even then, they have to add it to their drink and there is a dosage limit.

\n\u2022\tThe focus of Seed and Bean Market is wellness, education, and safe use, not intoxication, and is known for its clean and healthy food options. <\/p>\n

Cole Peacock is a respected statewide business leader and considered a pioneer in the Florida cannabis industry. He was appointed vice chair of the inaugural Florida Hemp Advisory Committee by Florida Commissioner of Agriculture and Consumer Services Nikki Fried. Peacock is also co-founder of Caloosahatchee Cannabis Company Investments and its innovative ventures include Seed and Bean Markets (Florida\u2019s First Cannabis Caf\u00e9 and CBD Marketplace), PureNative Premium Hemp\/Cannabis Lifestyle Brand, and Caloosahatchee Beverage Company, which created first federally approved Hemp Beer.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur family friendly concept takes the stigma out of the cannabis caf\u00e9 perception. We have created an atmosphere where everyone feels at home whether they are ordering delicious food, coffee, hemp protein shake, CBD seltzer, or craft beer. Seed and Bean Market is a proven model of success, and we are so excited to add a new component,\u201d added Peacock.<\/p>\n
