Every great Downtown has a place where the morning starts. In Downtown New Port Richey, it sits right where Main Street meets Sims Park: Mountaineer Coffee, one of The Central on Orange Lake’s Central Perks Partners.

The Story Behind the Name

Mountaineer Coffee began with Daniel and Darby Pritz. In 2013, Daniel started roasting his own beans and selling them as “Mountaineer Coffee,” a name that honors his grandfather, a West Virginian who owned an antique business in Brooksville called Mountaineer Antiques. After three years of learning the craft, the couple opened their flagship shop in downtown Brooksville in 2016. Today Mountaineer also pours in Downtown New Port Richey at 6322 Bank Street.

The Gateway to Sims Park

Mountaineer sits about ten steps from The Hacienda, right at the gateway to Sims Park. Grab a cup and you are on the park path before your first sip cools. For residents of The Central, it is a short morning walk and the easiest way to start the day in the middle of everything, in the heart of the Downtown District supported by New Port Richey Main Street.

More Than Coffee

Beans are roasted daily, so the coffee is about as fresh as it gets. The shop is also full of fun retail finds, from gifts and souvenirs to something brand new: Mountaineer’s own instant coffee, an easy way to take the Downtown morning ritual home or send it with a visiting friend.

Why Mountaineer Is a Central Perks Partner

Central Perks is The Central on Orange Lake’s partner program with local Downtown businesses, giving residents exclusive discounts at Downtown favorites. A family-run roaster named for a grandfather’s antique shop is exactly the kind of place the program was built for.
