Starbucks will open late summer 2025 at 3174 Gulf of Mexico Drive pending approval by the Town of Longboat Key.

CEO of Topper’s Craft Creamery and Master Licensee for Starbucks Greg Sausaman is bringing Starbucks to Longboat Key, with the help of some other local partners.
In the plaza located at 3170 GMD is also retailer Swim City.
The available space’s lease is listed as $32 per square foot for a lease term of up to 10 years and triple net, meaning the tenant is responsible for taxes, maintenance and insurance.
Before Starbucks, the spot was occupied by Michael Saunders & Co, Next door at 3172 GMD was the Turtle Coffee Bar before being destroyed by hurricanes.
