Bayshore Bodega
Naples is about to wake up in a whole new way. On Saturday, September 6 at 9 AM, the Bayshore District will host a morning unlike any other with the highly anticipated debut of Bayshore Bodega, Naples’ only waterfront cafe.
The event marks a milestone moment: Naples’ First Coffee Rave – an internationally trending morning movement that blends music, movement, caffeine, and community into a one-of-a-kind lifestyle experience. For the very first time, Naples locals and visitors will have the chance to gather on the waterfront for an energizing, joyful, and unforgettable celebration.
Naples Girls Walk Club + Boys Meet Girls Walk
Adding to the excitement, the Naples Girls Walk Club, founded by Tereza Kasparova, will bring its vibrant community energy to Bayshore Bodega for a special Boys Meet Girls Walk. What started as a grassroots wellness movement has quickly become one of Southwest Florida’s most talked-about communities, uniting hundreds of women and now men through fitness, friendship, and lifestyle experiences. This meet-up will bring 200+ participants to Bayshore Bodega’s debut, setting the stage for the Coffee Rave and creating a cultural buzz that extends far beyond Naples.
Chef John Colon: Culinary Creativity on the Waterfront
At the heart of Bayshore Bodega’s vision is Chef John Colon, known for his culinary innovation and ability to transform dining into a lifestyle experience. Personally selected by Bayshore Investment Group founder Diane Sullivan, Chef Colon is debuting the cafe’s Over-the-Counter (OTC) menu, a chef-driven, waterfront-inspired take on breakfast and lunch. Designed for both locals on the go and guests seeking to savor their time on the water, his menu will feature fresh, locally sourced ingredients with bold flavors.
Looking ahead, Chef Colon is already planning the cafe’s next chapter: a wine and tapas expansion in Season 2026, which will transform Bayshore Bodega into a full-day dining and social destination on Naples’ waterfront.
World-Famous Gesha Coffee by Savage Coffees
Bayshore Bodega is proud to be the only cafe in Naples serving Gesha coffee by Savage Coffees, the Panamanian producer behind some of the most exclusive and highest-rated coffees in the world.
Panamanian Gesha beans from award-winning estates like Finca Deborah and Iris Estate are globally celebrated as the pinnacle of specialty coffee, known for floral aromas, bright acidity, and complex flavor profiles.
Savage Coffees has pioneered innovative fermentation methods, inspired by the wine industry, that produce competition-grade coffees used by world-champion baristas.
With a true seed-to-cup philosophy, Savage Coffees ensures excellence at every stage, making each cup a rare and unforgettable experience.
For Naples coffee lovers, this is a historic first – the opportunity to taste coffee that has earned international acclaim, right here on the waterfront.
Retail Market Corner: Shop Local, Savor Global
Bayshore Bodega will also introduce the Retail Market Corner, a curated showcase of products from local Bayshore Market vendors and small businesses. Guests will be able to shop artisan baked goods, organic teas, fresh flowers, and handcrafted specialties – extending the spirit of the Bayshore Market into a year-round experience at the cafe.
This initiative reflects Diane Sullivan’s commitment to building a thriving Bayshore District economy by empowering local entrepreneurs and providing them with a permanent platform to reach new audiences.
A Vision for the Bayshore District
The debut of Bayshore Bodega is more than the launch of a cafe. It is the next step in the transformation of the Bayshore District into Naples’ premier destination for dining, community, and lifestyle experiences.
“Bayshore Bodega is about more than coffee – it’s about creating the energy, experiences, and connections that define community,” says founder Diane Sullivan. “Every cup we brew, every event we host, and every local business we support brings us closer to making the Bayshore District the heartbeat of Naples.”
