If you didn’t already know, the West Volusia Tourism Advertising Authority has a “Cool Craft Beverage Trail” to help you discover unique drinks and their shops or restaurants throughout the west side of the county. You can find local breweries, coffee shops, and candy stores on their website, CoolCraftTrail.com, and social media sites. I love this resource and, while there may already be one for the east coast, I want to highlight some of my favorite beverage stops around the greater Daytona Beach area!

Ormond Beach Coffee Shops & Breweries

Starting to the north, in Ormond Beach, you can sip on a variety of hot and iced teas while reading your favorite book at Novel Tea Book Shop (150 Tomoka Ave.). Soraya Café incorporates Middle Eastern flavors and treats with their coffee and houses beautiful décor and murals (156 E. Granada Blvd.). For beers and ciders, we make our way to Ormond Brewing Company (301 Division Ave., Unit 15). Then, in Holly Hill, you can enjoy a distillery tour, try mixed drinks with rum or vodka, and even take home your own spirits from Copper Bottom Craft Distillery (998 N. Beach St.).

Daytona Must-Try Coffee Spots & Wine Bar

There is a whole row of drinks to try along Beach Street in downtown Daytona Beach! To start your day with coffee, I would recommend either Sweet Marlay’s (214 S. Beach St.) or Copperline Coffee (118 S. Beach St.). If tea or kombucha is more of your jam, then The Porch is your place to go (212 S. Beach St.). Later in the day, you can pick up a boba tea or milkshake from The Neighborhood Scoop (228 S. Beach St.). And even later in the evening, you can enjoy the atmosphere and drinks at Madeline’s Wine Bar (200 N. Beach St.).

Making our way to South Daytona, there are two newly opened coffee shops to visit. The Wheelhouse Coffee Cart Company is fully mobile for your private event needs and often finds its home inside Wildflower Hair Co. (401 Venture Dr.). A more stationary option with plenty of seating for work or meeting with friends is Coffee Therapy (2037 Anastasia).

Port Orange Boba & Café Favorites

While I could keep making my way down the coast, I’ll stop in the Port Orange area. My girls and I just visited Hi! Boba Tea with its cute interior and delicious fruit and milk tea options (3813 Clyde Morris Blvd. Unit 108). If you’re heading beachside, just over the bridge is Dunes Brewing with craft brews on tap and an inviting seating area (59 Dunlawton Ave., Unit 102). Continuing to A1A, you’ll find Bliss Beach with coffee, smoothies, and the coolest AI-generated retro Daytona Beach artwork (3218 S. Atlantic Ave, Suite 1). And lastly, Zugba Café has specialty coffees, sparkling refreshers, boba tea and “magical tea” (3106 S. Atlantic Ave).

I know I just listed a lot of places for you to try out, but if you can believe it, there are many more spots that I may have missed or have yet to visit! So, cheers to exploring all of the beverages and stops around Daytona Beach and creating our own trail on the east side!
