The first Blind Tiger Cafe started in Ybor City – a small historic, cigar city in Tampa, Florida. The founders had a desire to bring great roasted coffee flavors back to a city that was known for its historic richness. Inspired by the tailored and craftsman feel of a speakeasy, the founders wanted to start a Blind Tiger (another name for speakeasy) of their own. They wanted to sell quality, original roasts so great tasting, it would seem illegal. The Blind Tiger is a speakeasy-inspired lifestyle brand for those who desire quality and richness in the small pleasures of life.

Blind Tiger Coffee Roasters owns and operates seven cafes in the Tampa Bay area. Established on November 13, 2014, in the heart of Ybor City, the Blind Tiger have weaved itself into the fabric of coffee culture in the US. With plans to expand its footprint into the hospitality, retail & grocery shelves, the Blind Tiger finds Tampa as its base operations for expansion across the State of Florida
