On Sunday, Cali Coffee’s owner said he was “hopeful” the chain’s new Tamarac location would open by December.

“We are going to bring the same high-level energy and top-quality drinks, served ultra-quick, as we do to all of our locations,” Craig Avera, CEO and owner of Cali Coffee, told Tamarac Talk. “We are especially excited to bring our energy to Tamarac, as we’ve been anxious to get this one open for quite some time.”

Avera said staff at the shop at 7775 W. McNab Road “will be fully trained and ready to rock” in time for the opening.

“Customers will likely see some familiar faces here, as we will be bringing in several veteran Cali Crew members to help open and run this upcoming location,” the CEO added.

According to the company’s website, Cali Coffee is a growing franchise with eight stores – including one in North Lauderdale – and more than 20 others awaiting opening, including a Coconut Creek location.

The popular chain received Tamarac’s approval for its one-story, 1,500-square-foot shop in December 2022.

The company, which takes its moniker from California’s nickname, was founded in 2018 by Avera and Rose White. The co-founders met while working in the fitness industry in Los Angeles.

The Tamarac coffee shop will cater to drive-thru, to-go, and delivery customers.

Cali Coffee’s website says its services work best by “maintaining a small building footprint and shying away from an indoor seating area for the time being.”

“We love the idea of building a rad coffee house someday, but we aren’t ready for that just yet,” the site states.

Cali Coffee is known for quickly serving high-quality drinks, including coffee and tea, shakes, and specialty drinks.

Company officials previously said the Tamarac location would be open Monday to Friday from 5:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. on weekends.
