The place
Paper Fox Coffee is a specialty coffee shop in Northeast Tallahassee, located at 1704 Capital Circle NE, Suite 104. Founded in 2018, it operates as a multi-roaster cafe pouring espresso drinks, signature lattes, kombucha and craft sodas. Signature drinks include the Sun Bear honey vanilla latte, the Polar Bear latte and a French Toast latte. The kitchen serves house baked goods including cinnamon rolls and blueberry muffins. Hours are 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily. Seating is available indoors and on a small outdoor patio. Parking is provided behind the building and in the shared lot next to Pizza Hut. Online ordering is offered through the cafe's Smart Online Order page and the Joe Coffee app. The shop carries a 4.9-star Google rating from 676 reviews.
Tucked into a strip center on Capital Circle NE, Paper Fox Coffee has been one of the most reliably loved independent cafes in Tallahassee since 2018. The room is bright, the seating is generous and the pace is calmer than the big chains across town, which is why students, FSU faculty and remote workers tend to linger here for hours.
The signature lattes are the reason regulars keep coming back. Order the Sun Bear (a honey vanilla latte that has become the unofficial house drink), the Polar Bear or the seasonal French Toast latte. The kitchen rotates fresh-baked cinnamon rolls and blueberry muffins, and a fridge of kombucha and craft sodas backs up the espresso menu for non-coffee drinkers.
No reservations needed. Park behind the building or in the shared lot next to the Pizza Hut. There is outdoor seating, takeout is fast and the cafe is on the Joe Coffee app for mobile order-ahead. Phone the shop at (850) 765-3807 to confirm same-day hours during FSU breaks and holidays.
