Handcrafted Tea & Coffee

The story of The 1866 Coffee & Tea House is inspired by the frontier spirit that shaped Arizona — a time when hard work mattered, neighbors looked out for one another, and a good meal or strong cup of coffee was something to be savored. The name1866 nods to a rugged era of new beginnings, where towns were built on grit, resilience, and community. Just like the early gathering houses of the frontier, the 1866 Coffee & Tea House was created as a place to rest your boots, share a story, and enjoy honest food and coffee made right.

Owned by Kevin and Sabrina Johnston, The 1866 Coffee & Tea House reflects a deep respect for Florence’s history and the timeless cowboy way of life. Kevin and Sabrina set out to build more than a coffee shop — they built a modern-day gathering place rooted in tradition. With handcrafted coffee and tea, baked-fresh pastries, hearty sandwiches, and genuine hospitality, the 1866 Coffee & Tea House carries forward the spirit of the frontier.
