There are few things in life more satisfying than a nice warm cup of coffee. But, as all true connoisseurs know, there’s a big difference between coffee that’s just okay and coffee that’s great. Here are a few places to get great coffee in Jupiter.

Subculture Coffee

Subculture Coffee is a great café founded by a couple of South Florida natives. The place is very cool and comfortable but, trust us, it has a lot more going for it than its décor. Subculture has some of the best, modestly priced, coffee in the state. If you haven’t already, we suggest trying one of their cappuccinos.

Quaker merchant Jonathan Dickinson, after whom South Florida’s beloved Jonathan Dickinson State Park is named, was on a business trip from Jamaica to Philadelphia in 1669 when on September 23rd his ship foundered and ran ashore off of what is now Jupiter Island.

From there Dickinson and his family made a grueling and perilous two-month trek to St. Augustine. During the journey Dickinson recorded much of what they encountered in his journal which in-turn became the first detailed account of the Palm Beach region, it describes, among other things, several Florida’s now vanished early Indian tribes.
