Forgotten Coast

Pristine, uncrowded beaches truly make the Forgotten Coast communities of Apalachicola, Carrabelle, St. George Island, Cape San Blas, and Port St. Joe a little slice of heaven. Tranquil and relaxed, the friendly faces and absolute beauty of the gulf, bays, and nearby state parks will keep you coming back year after year for an unforgettable respite from the rest of the world.

The Dr. Julian G. Bruce St. George Island State Park offers everything from primitive camping and boat ramps to miles of undeveloped beaches.

Apalachicola’s Owl Cafe is a must! For an even more unique experience, visit their Tap Room right next door and enjoy the same spectacular menu with outstanding live music.

Running trails, marathons and a plethora of 5k races are yours for the taking across the Forgotten Coast. Letting your feet explore the sandy shores is another great way to explore the coastline.

A Taste of the Forgotten Coast BAYSIDE COFFEE COMPANY

What was the inspiration behind Bayside Coffee Company?

After 10 years in the corporate world, Matt and I were both ready for something new and exciting. We’ve always had an entrepreneurial spirit but were never quite sure as to what business we wanted to get into. At the time, Matt was roasting coffee on our back porch and fell in love with

beachpropertiesfla.com

Open since 2019, Bayside Coffee Company has been happily caffeinating the Forgotten Coast with their small-batch beans roasted on-site daily at their quaint Eastpoint coffee house. Bean lovers can find anything their hearts desire including coffee by the cup, lattes, cappuccinos, delicious cold brew, and of course, whole bean and ground bags to-go.

Owners Matt and Megan Lee recently shared some of details about their dream business come true.

everything coffee. It was also during this time that we experienced a devasting loss that taught us how precious life truly is and just how short it can be; we decided to take the leap and start our first coffee business. It was an excellent experience because it taught us so much about starting a small business, plus it was a great way to help get through the toughest time in our life.

Meanwhile, we had been vacationing to Franklin County for about five years and dreamed of moving down here. Around the time we started taking this dream seriously, an old oyster house came up for sale on Highway 98. We simply couldn’t let this opportunity pass us by! In October of 2019, we moved to Apalachicola, started renovating the old oyster house in Eastpoint, and Bayside Coffee Co. was born.

What is your most popular coffee?

Currently, our most popular roast is The Apalach.

It’s a single-origin Colombian bean that we roast medium dark. It has tasting notes of cherry and milk chocolate, natural sweetness, nice body, and an incredibly smooth finish.

How often do you add/change varieties?

Raw coffee beans are seasonal just like any other fruit or vegetable. Every few months we bring whatever the latest, freshest crop is. Although the origin of the raw beans will vary throughout the year, we roast them to similar profiles that our customers have come to love. We also offer seasonal drinks like peppermint mocha lattes and pumpkin spice lattes.

Where do you source your beans?

Currently, we source from Colombia, Honduras, Mexico, Kenya, and Cambodia—but these are subject to change, based on what is available and fresh.

Bayside Coffee Company recently opened a mobile location on St. George Island.

Where will it be located and what are the operating hours?

After opening the shop in Eastpoint, we knew we wanted to quickly get a second location on SGI. We see so many locals and tourists from the island that it just made sense. We have partnered with the Food Truck SGI and will be parking our coffee truck right next to theirs in the center of the island. You can also find Weber’s Donuts in the same area. During the winter months, we will be on SGI Tuesday-Friday 8:00am-12:30pm. We will extend these hours once spring comes around and the busy season picks back up.

What is the best part about owning a coffee company?

Waking up every day and doing something you love is simply priceless. Not to mention the stories, conversations, and community that we experience at our shop. We are truly blessed to own a coffee shop in such a special community.

Bayside Coffee Company is located at 327 Highway 98 in Eastpoint.

The café is open Tuesday through Friday from 7:30am to 2:00pm and Saturday 8:00am to 12:30pm.

BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY HOMESERVICES BEACH PROPERTIES OF FLORIDA

Celebrates Five Years AS A NETWORK AFFILIATE WITH CONTINUED GROWTH AND SUCCESS

Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Beach Properties of Florida recently celebrated its fifth anniversary as an affiliate of the Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Network. Since joining the network in 2016, the brokerage has experienced exponential growth expanding its reach along the Florida Panhandle from the Emerald Coast to the Forgotten Coast and more than doubling the size of its agent roster. The brokerage has also ranked in the top 50 affiliates across the entire Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices network annually since 2016.

beachpropertiesfla.com

Once a small boutique agency focused on South Walton real estate sales, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Beach Properties of Florida is now home to more than 220 agents with eight offices in select locations along the Northwest Florida Gulf Coast including Destin, South Walton, Panama City Beach, Port St. Joe, and St. George Island. On January 19th, a ribbon cutting ceremony with the Destin Chamber of Commerce commemorated the opening of a new Destin office, located at 151 Regions Way Suite 4A.

Located south of Highway 98 across from Whole Foods Market, the new Destin location offers added convenience for both the agency’s Destin-based sales executives as well as area customers. Customers can visit the office to be connected with an agent specializing in Destin and Miramar Beach property sales, as well as to learn about the newest opportunities on the market.

“Since joining the brand five short years ago, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Beach Properties of Florida has seen its gross commission income grow from $10,900,000 in 2016 to $32,586,000 in 2020,” said Jimmy Burgess, chief growth officer at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Beach Properties of Florida. “The addition of the Destin office provides our brokerage the ability to continue its strategic growth in Northwest Florida. With our amazing group of agents, the best tools and technology available, and our reputation as the most trusted brand in real estate, the best is still yet to come!”

2020 marked a momentous milestone for Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Beach Properties of Florida with over $1 billion in sales volume recorded for the year. The brokerage further established its presence in the Northwest Florida Gulf Coast market by ranking as the number one listing brokerage for the 30A Beaches market, a top five listing brokerage for Panama City Beach, and a top three brokerage on the Forgotten Coast.

“Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices’ focus on the customer is the driving force behind our company’s remarkable growth. We go to great lengths to stay focused on what buyers and sellers need and want so we can exceed those expectations,” said Hunter Harman, broker and owner at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Beach Properties of Florida. “With the growth our area is currently experiencing coupled with the continued ideal lending climate for homebuyers, we anticipate 2021 to be an extraordinary year for the local market.”
