AMELIA walked me through the coffee menu and suggested the SPRODA, a coffee blend with Liquid Death sparkling water. A great find, and it put a sparkle in my day. The guava cheese toast sounds like a great twist on Tampa-Cuban food culture. Great ambiance here with holiday eggnog and doggie treats available. The indoor seating includes accessible low top table and some high tops. The outdoor fresh air seating includes picnic tables and table and moveable chairs, all umbrella-covered, some on pavers, some on mulch. I walked over to the coffee roasting area, and got a good look at the roaster, which seems to be on holiday break today. Great service! Great offerings!

The best coffee shop on the planet. Not only is the espresso 10/10 (get an oat flat white), everyone who works there are some of the most kind and genuine people I’ve ever met. I spent every morning here for the year I lived in Tampa and I loved every second of drinking my daily flat white and getting to know the staff and the regulars too. Can’t wait to come back and visit.

Well the secrets out! This place is totally busy but ALWAYS worth the wait. They are quick so don’t let the parking or line bother you. The coffee is outstanding. I buy in bulk for my office and it’s always amazing. I love single origin beans for the complex flavors and unique taste, these guys always have a great selection. BUT, do they now have the best bagels in tampa? I’ve lived in NYC home to the best and wow these guys are going toe to toe with some of the best I’ve ever had!
