Description
King State is all about family. We’re a coffee roaster, beer brewer, and whatever else we want to be.

King State's main Tampa Heights cafe and restaurant is permanently closed. The iconic brick-and-mortar location served its final weekend of service in mid-October 2024. While the physical restaurant and taproom closed, the business itself did not completely shut down.
