Sip, Savor, and Soak in the Vibes: Why Blue Mountain Coffee House is a Must-Visit

A few delicious reasons to check out the Downtown West Palm Beach coffee house.  

When you step into Blue Mountain Coffee House, the rich aroma of coffee greets you like an old friend. It’s no surprise, then, that the shop has built such a loyal following. Opened in 2020, the cozy coffee shop has become a favorite among visitors and locals in Downtown West Palm Beach.  

“The best part of being in Downtown West Palm Beach is seeing the growth and being able to be a part of it,” says the owner, Alison Boettcher. “Downtown West Palm Beach is filled with a lot of small businesses, which makes it a unique destination that people want to visit.”  

Located at 540 Clematis Street, Suite #3, Blue Mountain Coffee House is easy to spot with its navy exterior and classic striped awning. And if the weather’s great, you can enjoy the sunshine at one of the bistro tables out front or grab a cozy spot inside. If you haven’t paid a visit to Blue Mountain Coffee House yet, here are a few delicious reasons to go.  

The Fresh Coffee 

Blue Mountain Coffee House takes pride in its unique offering: the coffee sourced from Boettcher’s family estate in the Blue Mountains of Jamaica. The area’s cool climate and high altitude, combined with the rich soil, results in coffee beans with bold, rich flavors. Besides the freshly brewed coffee, other drink options include espresso, cappuccino, and macchiatos. Want to enjoy their fragrant coffee at home or in the office? The shop also sells it in convenient boxes of single-serve brew bags. 

 

Homemade Pastries and Desserts  

At Blue Mountain Coffee House, the coffee is not the only star. The shop also offers an impressive array of pastries, muffins, and cakes, many of which are made in-house. The cakes are sold by the slice and include decadent options like red velvet, chocolate, and cheesecake. Though you can’t go wrong with any of the desserts here, Boettcher says the bread pudding is one of her favorites. 

Delicious Breakfast Options 

Downtown West Palm Beach is known for its fantastic brunch options, and Blue Mountain Coffee House is part of that lineup. If you’re here for breakfast, there are traditional dishes like Eggs Benedict Florentine, which comes with a side of truffle fries. However, if your brunch ritual involves filling up on pancakes, there are both sweet and savory options available. Satisfy your sweet tooth with peach cobbler, chocolate pancakes, or blueberry pancakes. Or go savory with the German pancakes, which are made with spinach and onions and topped with goat cheese. You can also take your breakfast to go with a New York bagel or a sweet chocolate croissant.  

Traditional Jamaican Food  

Boettcher pays homage to her Jamaican heritage with several Jamaican dishes on the menu, available during lunchtime. If you can handle some island heat, consider ordering the Jerk Chicken salad or the Jerk Chicken wrap, both of which are deliciously spicy. Jamaican patties (a flaky dough-filled pastry stuffed with meat or veggies) are a staple in Jamaica, and you can get them here too. The coffee shop also offers visitors a taste of Jamaica’s national dish, ackee and saltfish, a flavorful dish of salted cod and ackee fruit. Offering a delicious departure from typical café fare, these dishes are perfect for a quick workday lunch or a leisurely weekend stop while exploring Downtown West Palm Beach.

Chill Out: Explore the Best Ice Cream Spots in Downtown West Palm Beach

Take a stroll down Clematis Street to check out these local favorites.  

While the summer heat in South Florida can be relentless, nothing hits the spot quite like ice cream on a sweltering afternoon. It’s the ultimate remedy for those hot days, delivering a perfect blend of creamy texture, rich flavor, and a pure, blissful chill. Whether you’re looking for a classic old-fashioned ice cream parlor, an authentic Italian gelato shop, or an all-you-can-eat frozen yogurt bar, we’ve found three essential spots to cool down. 

 

Sloan's Ice CreamSloan’s Ice Cream  112 S. Clematis Street 

Sloan’s Ice Cream opened its first location in Downtown West Palm Beach in 1999, and it’s been a South Florida favorite ever since. The old-fashioned ice cream parlor is located at the end of Clematis Street, just a block from the Intracoastal Waterway. Visiting Sloan’s is like stopping into a Willy Wonka-like wonderland of candy, desserts, and toys. The shelves are lined with novelty items, such as Slinkys and stuffed animals, and you can also buy jellybeans and gummy candy by the pound.  But let’s get to why you’re here, the ice cream. There are more than 30 flavors of ice cream, ranging from the popular mint chocolate chunk and fresh strawberry to more unusual flavors like carrot cake and coffee & donuts. You can load up your scoops in a cup or waffle cone and top your delicious treat with peanuts, marshmallows, and chunks of Snickers. Enjoy your treat at the restaurant’s seating under a striped awning or take it to go and stroll down to the waterfront.   

 

Venetian Gelato – 206 Clematis Street  

If you’re looking for a cool treat that’s a bit lighter, head to Venetian Gelato. The authentic gelato shop offers a variety of classic, fresh flavors, such as mango and pistachio, along with some refreshing tropical flavors like Key Lime Pie and pina colada. The offerings here aren’t limited to gelato; if you want to soothe your sweet tooth, the shop also offers treats like homemade red velvet and s’mores cookies and freshly prepared waffles with your choice of toppings like honey, Nutella, and, of course, gelato. Venetian Gelato is conveniently located across the street from one of Downtown West Palm Beach’s Italian restaurants, Lynora’s, so you can make it an Italian-themed afternoon by stopping here for a post-meal treat. The gelato shop has plenty of indoor seating, including a window ledge with high-top chairs, which is convenient when the outside temps top 90 degrees. 

 

Peach Wave Frozen Yogurt – 428 Clematis Street  

Animal crackers, Fruity Pebbles, and peach rings. These are all toppings that you can choose to customize your frozen yogurt at Peach Wave Frozen Yogurt, a yogurt bar just steps from the City Center parking garage and Brightline station. The frozen yogurt comes in flavors like pineapple, Double Stuff’d Cookies n’ Cream, and Dulce de Leche, and there are over a dozen toppings to make your yogurt creation one of a kind. The yogurt is sold by weight, so you can purchase as much or as little as you like, and the flavors change frequently (which is an invitation to come back often).  This is a great place to take kids, who may enjoy the DIY feature of pulling the lever to dispense the frozen yogurt and carefully choosing their own toppings. Peace Wave Frozen Yogurt is an ideal stop after a day in the sun, and the yogurt bar is playfully adorned with hanging surfboards and features a comfortable seating area with orange pillows and ottomans.
