This store does not commit to a theme. When I heard there was a coffee shop opening in Brandon, I had high expectations for what is to come. With a name like Kingbird, I expected the theme to be that of eloquent beauty, as is a bird, but instead it's more of a casino vibe. The place was a little too dry and tough to enjoy a drink inside of. As for the coffee, I only ordered espresso on it's own to get a basis on what it would taste like. It was okay, but quite a bit over-extracted.

Our kids self entertain with all of the games, puzzles, chalkboard and other activities. I am thankful for the business in our...
Read moreFor an easy casual cup of coffee or a sweet delicious latte, this is an awesome shop to go to! Tons of seating in a large open strip mall location with a rustic approachable interior. The staff was all super nice, and their excitement for their work and the business they built was infectious. The owner (I assume he was the owner anyway!) even offered us a taste of a new drink he is creating for their winter menu. My wife and I enjoyed a quiet morning at King Bird Coffee, and I’d highly recommend this for anyone that wants the same. They even serve Black...
