## About

King State is all about family. We’re a coffee roaster, brewery, and whatever else we want to be (and we used to be a cocktail bar and restaurant, too).

Both of our founders (Tim McTague and Nate Young) toured in bands for most of their lives. In 2013 after those bands broke up, the idea to start a coffee roaster began to brew over many nights in a back yard, drinking beers and smoking cigars. The big idea was to give something back to their hometown of Tampa, FL after it poured so much into them for so long. Though the focus of King State will always be Florida Forever, our coffee is enjoyed all over the world. In 2019 we opened our first brick and mortar cafe in Tampa Heights, where we serve made-from-scratch breakfast, lunch, dinner, coffee and beers ALL DAY. We love what we do. Oh, and our founders are brothers-in-law. See. Told you it was about family.
