Amazing cold brew and the staff is so friendly. Quiet enough that I can actually get work done — my new go-to spot on the east side.

The place
RedEye Coffee Capital Circle is a locally roasted coffee shop at 1196 Capital Cir NE, Suite D, on the east side of Tallahassee, FL. RedEye is a minority- and woman-owned small business that roasts and blends its own naturally grown, non-GMO, ethically sourced coffee, tea, and cocoa in-house. The Capital Circle café opens at 7am Monday through Friday and 8am on weekends, serving espresso drinks, Cuban coffee, Nitro Cold Brew, and house specialty lattes alongside breakfast burritos, pressed Cuban sandwiches, avocado toast, hummus wraps, and locally baked pastries. Indoor and outdoor seating are available, with free Wi-Fi that supports remote work and study. The shop holds a 4.8-star Google rating across 387 reviews. Phone (850) 999-8278.
Tucked into a small retail strip on the east side of Tallahassee, RedEye Coffee Capital Circle is the quieter sibling of the well-known Thomasville Road flagship. The space is bright and unhurried — a regular crowd of remote workers, FSU and TCC students, and morning commuters off Capital Circle NE settle in with laptops and notebooks. Every cup is made from beans that RedEye sources ethically and roasts in-house, and the shop is proudly minority- and woman-owned.
Order one of the house specialty lattes — the honey vanilla, the rosemary caramel, or the Poseidon — or keep it classic with a Cuban coffee, Nitro Cold Brew, or white chocolate mocha. The food side punches above its weight for a coffee shop: a pressed Cuban sandwich, breakfast burritos, avocado toast, hummus wraps, and locally baked pastries are all worth ordering. Loose-leaf tea drinkers should try the blackberry sage iced tea or the carrot cake tea fog.
Parking is easy in the strip-center lot out front. Indoor and outdoor seating are available, free Wi-Fi is fast enough for video calls, and the patio is dog-friendly. Walk-ins only — no reservations — and takeout is available at the counter or through delivery apps.
