The owners of Crux Coffee Roasters, a coffee shop in Abacoa that plans to roast its own coffee, hope to open at the end of this month.

“We’ll have 10 single-origin coffees from countries such as Colombia, Costa Rica, Bali and other locations,” said Dan Rudden, who is opening the coffee shop with his wife Victoria.

The couple, who live in West Palm Beach, both have restaurant backgrounds. Dan grew up in Jersey City, New Jersey, and Victoria in Bogota, Colombia.

Along with coffee, Crux plans to sell pastries and snacks. The store will be open seven days. The exact hours have not been determined.

The shop, on Main Street near the Copacabana restaurant, will have seating for about 40, including seats on an outdoor patio.

FLF ATC LLC  paid $5.1 million in 2014 for Abacoa Town Center property that includes the former Rooney’s restaurant, Civil Society Brewing Company and JJ Muggs Stadium Grill.

Since then, new development has been growing in and around the property.

The Allure apartments in Abacoa are opening, with businesses on the bottom floors. The town finished a $4 million renovation of the nearby Abacoa Community Park. The Marriott Hotel opened across from Roger Dean Stadium. The Abacoa Golf Course finished a $1 million renovation.
