Charlotte Bean Coffee Co. has a permanent home inside De Bine Brewing Company in Palm Harbor, giving the mobile coffee trailer its first fixed address at 993 Florida Ave.

The opening, first reported by Tampa Bay 28, turns the brewery on the Palm Harbor roundabout into something of a mini food hall. Reel BBQ is also attached, creating a social hub that operates morning, noon and night.

A new home at De Bine Brewing

De Bine converted a former game room to make space for Charlotte Bean owners Brett and Mari Ebert.

"This is a very unique situation we have going on here," Mari Ebert said, according to Tampa Bay 28. "I've never seen anything like it before."

Brett Ebert said the permanent spot fills a gap. "So what this allows us is to give something to the community that we were never able to do," he said.

From Pinellas classrooms to a coffee business

The Eberts are high school sweethearts who spent more than two decades teaching in Pinellas County classrooms before launching Charlotte Bean as a mobile trailer on May 3, 2025, according to Tampa Bay Beacons. Brett Ebert left teaching full time. Mari Ebert still balances the business with virtual teaching.

The couple named the business after their daughter, Charlotte Jean, an idea they held onto for eight years before acting on it. They initially scouted for a brick-and-mortar storefront before gambling on the mobile industry.

In coverage published in May, Mari Ebert told Tampa Bay Beacons that a sit-down space was the piece they had been missing.

"I feel like that's the piece we're missing," she said, "is being able to have people be able to sit and work or chat and have coffee."

The new location gives the couple the permanent gathering space they had been seeking.

Coffee, pastries and private events

Charlotte Bean's menu includes iced and hot lattes, cold brew, matcha lattes and refreshers. Pastry breads come from Ozona Crumb Bakery, cut and sold by the slice.

The private-event side of the business has also grown. As of May, the Eberts were bringing their mobile setup to weddings, baptisms and teacher appreciation events.

Tampa Bay Beacons reported that the Eberts were considering a second mobile unit after turning down bookings. The couple has not announced plans for another unit.
