Foxtail Coffee Co. opened its newest Southwest Florida caf\u00e9 on Wednesday, Aug. 5, at Latimer Crossing, becoming one of the first commercial businesses to welcome guests within the Southwest Florida Housing Foundation\u2019s new mixed-income community on Cleveland Avenue.\n<\/p>\n
Located at 3605 Cleveland Avenue, across from the Fort Myers Country Club, the 1,745-square-foot caf\u00e9 is the fourth Southwest Florida Foxtail Coffee Co. location owned and operated by Diana and Scott Willis, longtime local business owners who also own and operate Jason\u2019s Deli restaurants throughout Lee County and Naples. The shop is also the 120th location for Foxtail Coffee Co.\n<\/p>\n
Known throughout Southwest Florida for their commitment to community involvement, the Willis family has spent decades supporting local schools, nonprofit organizations and charitable initiatives while creating welcoming places where neighbors can gather. Their newest Foxtail Coffee location continues that commitment, offering a comfortable destination where residents, professionals, students and visitors enjoy craft coffee, work remotely, meet with friends or simply spend time together.\n<\/p>\n
Adding to the experience, the caf\u00e9 features a Kelly\u2019s Homemade Ice Cream counter serving the Orlando-based and Florida\u2019s favorite creamery\u2019s signature flavors along with rotating monthly selections, creating a destination for everything from a morning coffee run to an after-dinner treat.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom the beginning, we believed this could become more than a coffee shop,\u201d said Diana Willis. \u201cLatimer Crossing is bringing new energy to this part of Fort Myers, and we\u2019re excited to create a place where neighbors can gather, students can study, professionals can work and families can enjoy time together.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
Latimer Crossing represents a significant milestone in the revitalization of the Cleveland Avenue corridor. Developed by the Southwest Florida Housing Foundation, the 92-unit mixed-income community combines market-rate, workforce and affordable housing while transforming a property that sat vacant for more than a decade into a vibrant neighborhood.\n<\/p>\n
As one of the first businesses to open at Latimer Crossing, Foxtail Coffee Co. will help establish the development as a destination where people can live, work, meet and connect. Its location along one of Fort Myers\u2019 busiest corridors offers convenient access for neighborhood residents, nearby businesses, commuters and visitors.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve always believed the best businesses become part of the fabric of the community,\u201d said Scott Willis. \u201cThat\u2019s how we\u2019ve approached our Jason\u2019s Deli restaurants, and it\u2019s exactly how we plan to build Foxtail Coffee at Latimer Crossing. We want people to feel like this is their neighborhood coffee shop.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
Foxtail Coffee Co. has earned a loyal following for its small-batch roasted coffee, handcrafted espresso beverages and thoughtfully designed caf\u00e9s that encourage guests to slow down and enjoy the experience.\n<\/p>\n
The new location will feature Foxtail\u2019s complete menu of espresso drinks, cold brews, signature lattes, seasonal beverages and organic teas, along with breakfast sandwiches, fresh bagels, pressed paninis and an assortment of baked goods. Guests can also purchase whole-bean coffee, branded merchandise and gift items.\n<\/p>\n
Comfortable seating, complimentary Wi-Fi and inviting workspaces make the caf\u00e9 equally suited for business meetings, remote work, study sessions or relaxing with friends over coffee or ice cream.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cOur hope is that Foxtail becomes part of people\u2019s daily routine,\u201d Diana added. \u201cWhether someone stops in before work, meets a friend for coffee, brings the family in for ice cream or spends the afternoon working remotely, we want everyone who walks through our doors to feel welcome.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
