Coffee & Conversations with Palm Coast's City Manager – July 10, 2026

What Is Coffee & Conversations?
Launched in early 2026, Coffee and Conversations is City Manager Mike McGlothlin's standing invitation to Palm Coast residents: come as you are, grab a cup, and talk about what matters to you. Each month the event pops up at a different locally owned business around the city — past editions have been hosted at Panera Bread, The Copper Lotus, Jacked Up Bean, and Loopers at Palm Harbor Golf Club — which doubles as a wonderful way to discover local spots you might not have visited yet.
The format is deliberately informal. There's no presentation and no time limit per question — just an hour of genuine back-and-forth. Past sessions have covered the topics on every resident's mind: growth and the city's westward expansion, traffic, road safety, neighborhood infrastructure, and more. Attendees consistently describe McGlothlin as approachable and candid, and sessions regularly draw a few dozen neighbors.
Why It's Worth Your Friday Morning
Whether you're a longtime resident with a pothole to report or a newcomer curious about where Palm Coast is headed, this is local government at its most accessible. Coffee is provided by the host business on a first-come, first-served basis, the conversation is always respectful, and you'll walk out knowing your city a little better than when you walked in.
The event is free, but registering through the City of Palm Coast website helps staff plan for attendance — and it's the best way to catch any venue updates for the month.
