“very cozy place with delicious waffles & drinks und very friendly stuff & owners. absolutely worth to visit. Congratulations and all the best for your future.???“

“Great bagel sandwiches and friendly staff! They have bagels, pastries, creative empanadas and coffee.“

“Lucky Tigre was exactly what I needed. Being from California, one of the things I miss most is the incredible diversity of food and the ability to find authentic flavors from so many different cultures.

Although Florida has plenty to offer, especially when it comes to Caribbean cuisine, I still find myself missing the variety I grew up with. Lucky Tigre definitely helped cure a little bit of that homesickness.

We ordered the beef lumpia, chicken skewers, mochi fried chicken rice plate, pulled chicken adobo, and a calamansi lemonade. Every single item was outstanding.

The lumpia was crispy and flavorful, the chicken skewers were perfectly seasoned, and both rice plates were packed with rich, comforting flavors that tasted like they were made with care and attention to detail. The calamansi lemonade was refreshing and the perfect complement to the meal.

What stood out most was how balanced and authentic everything tasted. Nothing felt overly complicated or trendy for the sake of being trendy …it was simply delicious food executed really well. Every bite was flavorful, comforting, and satisfying.

For anyone craving Filipino-inspired flavors or looking to try something beyond the usual options, Lucky Tigre is absolutely worth a visit. It’s the kind of meal that not only fills your stomach but also brings back memories of home. We’ll definitely be back.“

“I’m still dreaming about the The crepe itself was paper-thin and delicate, with those perfectly slightly crispy, golden edges that give way to a tender, light center. It was generously stuffed with fresh ham, and chese and the presentation was a work of art—were almost too beautiful to eat. It was decadent without being overwhelming, and the first bite was a total 'wow' factor."“

“Had a wonderful experience and service ! Food and coffee were delicious, definitely the best coffee spot in Tampa! Loved having Mother’s Day Brunch here!“

“Super laid back. The vibe is the best in Tampa“

“We stopped in here by happenstance for lunch and we’re so happy we did!! The food was SO fresh and tasty!! The Prosciutto panini was so wonderfully flavorful that I bought a second one to go! We also had the strawberry salad, a breakfast croissant and bowl of fruit and ALL were so flavorful and the best part second only to the flavor of amazing goodness is that the serving sizes were enough to pleasantly satisfy without leaving you feeling stuffed!! I rarely recommend places but I loved this place so much that I had to share — definitely going back again!!“

“Everything is so yummy . Love the variety of savory and sweet. Delish coffee“

The team's professionalism and dedication were evident throughout the process. They worked closely with us to create a tailored menu and executed it flawlessly. We wholeheartedly recommend Corona Coffee Shop for any catering needs. They played a significant role in making our special day truly unforgettable.“

“The owner of Lit, Josh and his wife are all about the community! Josh took a crew of 3-4 guys to cut down trees in neighborhoods during Hurricane Milton that were blocking roads or hazardous bc he’s all about the ppl of Tampa. Y’all gotta support this business.“

The food is always filling, flavorful, and consistent, the pricing is fair, and Tarek himself is always either in the back making the food or up front interacting with customers with a positive attitude.

Custom cafe drinks made to your liking - unique flavors NOT too sweet. Fresh strawberry juice made day of. These gentlemen are on IT! What a cool hidden gem. Peaceful cafe perfect for quiet meetings and collecting your thoughts before a busy day. If I was local I’d eat here every DAY. Thanks Oasis Kitchen.“

“Delicious! The food, service, and atmosphere are all amazing at DI Coffee Bar. You can't go wrong with any of their specialty lattes, and everyone behind the counter is super sweet and helpful.
I wish they had more seating inside, but this isn't even close to a deal breaker.
My favorites: chocolate croissants, banana pudding latte, and the croissant breakfast sandwiches.

“I absolutely Love Candor Grille ! I watched & waited for it to open as our options are a bit limited living in Fishhawk. I am a foodie & moved here in March. Yeah. Not many options. At all. So when Candor opened, I was running in. My main problem usually is that I am a vegetarian & I am usually stuck eating a salad or sides. Their sides & apps are delicious however. I was over the moon to see they had the Impossible Burger. (& this isn't the same Impossible Burger you get at Burger King guys). This is a thick & juicy burger that you order however you want. Rare, medium, etc * AMAZING! * Not only have they Always been more than accommodating to my needs, they also are accommodating to your dogs needs ! SAY WHAT ? Yes, that's right they have a dog menu & ample space for you & your FurBaby to dine comfortably on the patio. Major bonus points as most of the residents around the FishHawk area have dogs. The owner is such a down to earth guy. Just the right amount of chill mixed in with the right amount of restaurant savvy knowledge. Always available if you have a question about the menu etc. Actually entire staff is amazing & I’ve been coming here since it opened. I’m not sure why some other diners didn’t have the same great service as I did? If you came & had mixed feelings I would urge you to give it another try. All restaurants have a few bumps in the beginning, as far as I can tell, they are on the ball. I can honestly say I’ve never left without a smile on my face. Great food, great drinks, great atmosphere & an amazing staff. To me, Candor is the type of place “Where everybody knows your name” with Major class.“

“Food was great and Marietta was the best. We were 10 and she was awesome. Thank You“

“We were in Tampa on vacation and decided to have breakfast here. The food was AMAZING!! The lobster omelet was the best omelet I've ever had. The service was above and beyond!! When we come to Tampa again we will most definitely be making a stop at Another Broken Egg Cafe!!!“

“This cozy cafe has the best bowls. The service is amazing and I will definitely be back again“

“This bar is a hidden oasis in the Rocky Point area. Live music, good bar food, great bartenders and a swimming pool!“

“My go to coffee spot in downtown Tampa! They have so many flavor options and the staff is the friendliest! Matthew especially makes the most delicious drinks and always delivers the most impeccable customer service. The staff, especially Matthew, is a key reason why i always go back! the bacon egg and cheese sandwiches are super “

“I HIGHLY recommend Laura and 511 Food company. She recently catered our son’s rehearsal dinner for 60 people and she did an absolute AMAZING job. The food was fabulous and we received MANY compliments from our guests. Not only was the food fabulous but Laura was wonderful to work with!!!!“

“I cannot thank the staff enough. There was a technical issue with my gift card, but the employee went above and beyond by buying my lunch out of their own pocket so I wouldn't leave hungry. This level of kindness is unheard of! They turned a stressful moment into a great day. I am so grateful for such a kind gesture. Five stars isn't enough!“
