“I recently dined at First Watch for brunch, and my experience left me with mixed feelings. While the service was commendable and the ambiance was pleasant, I must admit I was underwhelmed by the menu offerings. Perhaps my expectations were high, but the flavors fell short. However, if you're seeking a brunch spot with friendly staff, First Watch might still be worth a visit.Parking: Good size parking lot.Kid-friendliness: Around half the tables where families with children.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes it is wheelchair accessible.“
“I was introduced to Silver Ring only within the past year or so. It is definitely a delicious treat! The food is always tasty, the service is excellent, and the restaurant is spotless. Oh, and the prices are more than fair! Happy customer who WILL be returning!“
“My favorite place for soups and sandwiches. The bread isn't just fresh and great tasting, it's healthy with better ingredients. I take home the loaves. Keep them in the fridge. They run out so call ahead if you really want loaves of a certain type.“
“Amazing grilled mains, hot, and cold meze. The batata harra (spicy potatoes), hummus, and mixed grill were my favorite items, but everything was delicious! Truly home-style Middle Eastern cooking, including Arabic coffee (think Turkish coffee, but with cardamom) coupled with great service in cute patio seating. Definitely worth a visit while in Tampa/Ybor!“
“I NEVER leave reviews, but this place is awesome ! The mashed yuka & plantain is absolutely fabulous & only made better with the chicken on top.The mango juice (they make in house) is scrumptious & very addictive.I live an hour away & was visiting friends in the area....& I'm definitely gonna plan to see those friends more often, so I can eat here regularly.ITS GOOD !“
“I don't usually drink coffee, but once in a blue moon I do like to enjoy a good coffee or a Chai Tea Latte. This morning I met Josh and wanted to try their dirty Chai Tea Latte. It was quickly made and it's appearance looked very inviting. The drink was delicious, warming and calming. After I was finished with that, I requested to have a large normal Chai Tea Latte to go. The price was fair for what I got, and the service was prompt. Josh was kind and I had a quick friendly conversation while cashing out. I hope he has a nice day with his family coming in. As I will be bringing some family and friends this Saturday to try the offerings here.“
“I love holding meetings here as well as hosting classes for my nonprofit in their conference room. Great welcoming environment with comfy furniture and delicious lattes. Portico is doing amazing things for the unhoused and Tampa Community at large. Enjoy your coffee and make a difference. You can't beat that.“
“Recently had to switch from "real"" coffee. I was happy to find that Cawfee serves great decaf! I love the eclectic atmosphere from crystal chandeliers to pinball machines. There is a menu with wide variety of coffee plus baked goods ? I highly recommend this place.“
“So far I can not say anything bad about this place I walk in get greeted the food is cook to order and on top of that lunch all day.... that's a plus since I work overnight.... And to put the icing the waitress Brittany deserve more than what she is getting credit for. She must see a thousand faces but when I walked in she said you eating lunch d. For her to remember my name is top tier this place will be my go to place the little while I'm in tampa“
“This restaurant scores a 10 out of 10 in my book!! My boyfriend and I went to experience the special called "Blind Date with Italian Food". This meal not only surpassed my expectations, but each bite was even more flavorful than the previous. We are definitely going to look into her cooking classes and this will be our new favorite date night location. I will be returning soon with my mother to treat her to these impressive Italian dishes. You can tell each dish is made from scratch with quality in mind, if you have not been then you're missing out.“
“So excellent. Food was absolutely fantastic, great service, cook atmosphere. This is my favorite Seminole Heights restaurant so far. Slow dinner shift on a Wednesday, had a very good live DJ despite the slowness of the evening. I hear that this place is a music venue as well. I'll definitely be coming back again and again to this place.“
“My new favorite eatery. Even though it's for us the homeless of Tampa Bay. We are welcomed and treated as though we are paying customers. I would like to think all workers and volunteers for exceptional service and for providing a wonderful energy filled environment as myself and others in my situation get through these trying and difficult times. May God bless and fill your life with joy and prosperity.“
“Went in there on a Sunday and fell in love with a new restaurant.. I ordered the baked chicken with yellow rice,yams, Mac and cheese,and collard greens. Everything was delicious but the greens were like Granny's.They even had pouches of cool-aid.I was impressed and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for some great soul food.“
“Was recommended this place from a coworker and really happy I went to check it out. The ambience of this place has a great vibe to it, both interior and the music playing while enjoying a drink were 5 stars. Had the breakfast sandwich with grits and was very pleased.Enjoyed the spot and will be back for more!“
“This place is super cute and the coffee is decent for being a coffee snob, however, the music was so ungodly loud that you couldn’t even carry on a conversation with the person next to you without shouting. It would be nice to come to a cute coffee shop and feel like we could work and have a conversation. The thing that impressed me most about this place was that they wouldn’t allow us to pay to get a homeless woman coffee and a baked good. They just gave it to her and for that, we will come back and try again and hope next time it’s not so loud.“
“Good food, fresh and big portions. They advertise a monthly special that they donate a portion of the proceeds to local organizations such as animal rescue. Very cool! It's a small dine in or carry-out. The location is a little hidden from an out-of-towner like us. It's clean and the staff was pleasant. I'd definitely return.“

“I only know Joffrey's Coffee because I was introduced to Joffrey's by my daughter who knows I am a coffee snob. I didn't want to be a coffee snob, but having been spoiled by exposure to excellent coffee nothing less will do. Joffrey's coffee blends are the pinnacle of coffee flavor. I only have my coffee black/ no sugar so there's nothing between the coffee and my taste buds. My first experience was with their Disney Resort blends which are wonderful, and I have branched out and tried some of their other blends. None has disappointed. My only experience with Joffrey's is by ordering online. Their customer service is exemplary and they have a customer for life. Thanks, Joffrey's -- you're the best.“
“My favorite tacos spot of all times the owner is amazing and staff is super friendly! The food is out of this world! I drive from Wesley Chapel just to grab some tacos and tostadas. I highly recommend this food truck. P.S don’t forget to try their cucumber agua fresca.“

Ever since I moved to Apollo beach they have been the most family oriented business. Expect a family who checks in with you while on your health journey.-BreKid-friendliness: Kid sizes available for purchase“
“This location is the best BY FAR , Yes you have your Starbucks and Buddy brew downtown but KAHWA holds a dear place in my heart.Lindsey & Sabrina are PHENOMENAL.I wish all locations had these ladies .From the time I enter the coffee shop until the time I leave we always have meaningful conversations. I'm always greeted with a friendly warm smile that just makes my day ALWAYS .I recommend everyone to Kahwa .“
“Excellent sandwiches!!!! I was very impressed with sandwich quality and the guest service of the ladies working. This was my first time visiting the mountain bike trails close by but won't be my last and this will be a mandatory stop when I'm here!“
“Caffé Fresco never disappoints! Everything is made fresh to order with organic and vegetarian options. Soups and sandwiches/ wraps are delicious. The smoothies especially the Energy Boost and Mega Berry Blitz - very satisfying. Did I mention the Espresso is way better than Starbucks!! They greet you with a smile and very friendly. Needless to say I have become a regular! Highly recommend 10/10!“
“Delicious coffee, very friendly staff, and very convenient location for someone staying at one of the local hotels. This will be my go-to spot each time I am in the area. Loved the recommendation for the speciality flavor: vanilla almond amaretto latte.“
“I am delighted to document my commendation based on the consistently exceptional encounters I have had at the esteemed Cuban sandwich establishment, La Cubanita. Upon each visit, I am cordially welcomed by the amiable staff who consistently exhibit warmth and hospitality. The gastronomic offerings at La Cubanita are truly remarkable, with their Cuban sandwiches standing out as a paragon of excellence. Unlike the neighboring establishments, La Cubanita prides itself on its genuine utilization of succulent, real pork in their signature Cuban sandwiches. This unequivocally distinguishes La Cubanita as the prime destination for me, as the authenticity of their pork is the quintessential reason why I continue to patronize their establishment.“
“This place is a hidden gem. I ordered five Cuban sandwiches and they did not disappoint. The sandwiches are huge, and two people can share a sandwich. I also tried the empanadas, and they were to die for. Go try their food for yourselves. You will be glad you did.“
“If you are looking for authentic, delicious, Cuban food at low prices, this is your cafe! I ordered the chicken quarter,black beans and rice, and yucca. Everything was warm, tasty and delicious! The chicken was very moist. My order was take out and my take out box is now empty, except for the bones. I can't wait to go back!“
“Went here for the first time with my family the other day. Although we spent $14 for only a latte and croissant, that seems to be the going rate these days for most specialty coffee. We appreciated how clean it was inside but also the cleanliness and professional appearance of the staff. Lately at other major chain coffee shops it seems you need blue hair, piercings everywhere, and lots of body art to be a welcomed employee there. At foxtail all 3 of the younger staff members were all very clean cut looking with nice hair and freshly pressed button down shirts, friendly and smiling, and able to answer questions and converse with customers. We also LOVE the glass coffee cups! Makes you feel like you’re at central perk or Lukes Diner. We will be going back here!“
