50 Best Coffee Shops in Tampa

“Loved this place. The staff were great and friendly. They seem to love what they do and you could tell they made everything with love.“

“i stopped here after dropping my sister off at tampa airport and WOW…. exceeded my expectations. first of all… they have a banana bread latte?? delicious. so good. i’m also so so grateful they have a vegan option that is not only so good but also very healthy (tofu scram versus a processed fake egg). service was very quick and the vibe is great. 12/10!!“

“The Heights Lounge has become my favorite spot in the city, all thanks to Dan. Dan's a mixologist there, and he's not just good - he's on another level. The range of drinks this guy can create is insane. He's got everything from kava and kratom to the best coffee and tea. And the hookah blends - are great. Dan's a great dude to hang out with. He's always got time for a chat, even when the place is packed. He remembers your name, your favorite drink, and he's interested in what you think. The Heights Lounge is fantastic. The vibe is just right - I've brought a bunch of my friends there, and every single one of them likes it. It's rare to find a place like this. If you haven't been to The Heights Lounge, do yourself a favor and check it out. Ask for Dan, tell him what you like, and prepare to have your mind blown. You'll thank me later.“

“This will always be one of my most favorite spots in Tampa! Such a positive vibe and atmosphere💜 Delicious teas, delicious vegan and some regular freshly prepared entrées and baked goods! Gluten-free options found here! Yum!“

“Delicious food and coffee drinks!“

“Honestly these bagels are better than the one I had in NYC. Little hole in the wall and the Café con leche was on point and the bagels were unbelievably light and crisp at the same time. So worth it!“

“Loved it. The eclectic menu makes it hard to know what to order, because it all sounds so good. The prices are very reasonable. It’s located in an industrial park, so call in your order ahead of time, and head over there. Very friendly service, and clean establishment. My husband had the chicken stir fry, and I had the Caribbean chicken curry. No complaints“

“Fantastic experience.

The service was quick and very friendly, the prices were very reasonable, and the coffee was absolutely delicious.

What really stood out was the owner, Erika, who had such a warm and welcoming personality that it made the whole place feel inviting and comfortable. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers.

Highly recommend stopping in if you’re nearby.“

“Grassroots is such a great spot, with very chill and friendly vibes! Their tea is great, and the service is First Class. Very affordable and sweet people. Pet-Friendly too. I like to pet dogs here!“

“Absolutely loved our breakfast at Tango Brew! My partner and I both enjoyed delicious café con leche, mine iced and his hot. The medialuna took him right back to family breakfasts in Argentina, authentic and delicious! My bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich with crispy hashbrowns was perfectly portioned. The open-air setup with ample natural light and convenient street parking made for a relaxing start to the day. Table service was a thoughtful bonus, elevating a quick breakfast into something special. We’ll definitely return!“

“My wife and I have the opportunity to go by Leads Coffeehouse today and it was AWESOME! Coffee was great and so was the food. Great place to go meet clients and get some work done and just enjoy some good coffee. Very good atmosphere. Great ownership as well. Will definitely go back again soon. Keep up the good work!“

“Great coffee💕 I do wish there was better ventilation when they are cooking 🍳“

“Wounderful people, Awesome drinks & beautiful place to hang out“

“The employees there are always so nice! The girls are so sweet and awesome to talk to while you wait for your drink! Helpful when I wasn’t sure what to order and went with their lead and it ended up being amazing! Dutch Bros girls are my new friends lol“

“A friend showed me this place since it's one of her favorites to go to. The matcha was really yummy, but I didn't know you could add any flavoring to it since the woman who checked me out didn't offer. I only saw it on a small board once I paid and received it, so that sucked, but at least the drink wasn't nasty so it wasn't all bad. Seating was comfy. Nice place to relax and work at. $10 for a fried egg, two strips of ham, and one piece of sourdough toast is excessive. I understand the need to pay the rent in such an expensive area, but still. The most that should be is $6 or $7.“

“Kind staff, wonderful food“

“Phearwa with Offline - Absolutely love QWECH! Everything tastes super fresh and high quality. Their smoothies and juices are not only delicious but actually feel healthy and nourishing. You can really tell they use fresh ingredients.
They also have great acai bowls, yogurt bowls, and avocado toast, which makes it a perfect spot for breakfast or a light meal. Flavor, freshness, and good vibes all in one place. Highly recommend if you’re into healthy, tasty food! 🥤🥑🍓“

“could not have been better. i got the sweet potato pie latte and the egg bacon honey butter croissant, everyone there was so nice and service was so quick. the fact that they bring you a sample of the drink you order to make sure you like it and ask if you want it less or more sweet is so thoughtful!!! the croissant was the best breakfast sandwich ive ever gotten at a cafe before, and the drink was AMAZING especially for the price (it's literally a dessert and drink in one since there's a whole slice of pie included). on top of that the artwork there is so beautiful and the music choice was 10/10 so i loved hanging out there while eating. will DEFINITELY be returning soon.“

“Love the açai and smoothies.“

“Let’s get started with how insanely fast my service was! I was all the way wrapped around the building and got my order within 10 minutes. The lady taking my order was so sweet and helpful as this is my first time. Whoever is the manager to these girls really needs to appreciate them because this is the absolute best coffee, best service I have had. I highly recommend.“

“Awesome space with great food and live Jazz on Fridays 🎶💕🎶“

“Best coffee and employees! I hope one day one opens closer so I can get Buddy Brew more often“

“I’ll be honest — it takes a lot for me to move away from my regular rotation. My go-to cigars have traditionally been the HVC Hot Cakes and the Fresh Out of the Oven Broadleaves. Those have been staples in my humidor for quite some time. But after discovering Tabanero Cigars, I haven’t purchased another brand since.

My first experience was with the Corona Gorda last November and from the very first draw I knew this wasn’t your average cigar. The burn was razor sharp, the construction was flawless, and the ash held beautifully longer than I expected. What impressed me most was the transition in the flavor profile midway through the smoke. It evolved in a way that kept the cigar interesting from start to finish without ever becoming harsh or overpowering.

My next Tabanero cigars were as follows:
Toro Connecticut then the Robusto Candela and both were phenomenal in their own, right. Each cigar had its own personality while maintaining the same level of quality construction, smooth draw, and excellent burn ratio that I’ve now come to expect from Tabanero.

Those experiences immediately pushed me to order one of the Barberpole bundles — my first barberpole cigar ever — and quite frankly, I was blown away. The secondary wrapper burned beautifully, the craftsmanship was exceptional, and the quality far exceeded what I expected from a bundled cigar. It smoked with the kind of consistency and balance you typically expect from premium boxed offerings.

Needless to say, I’ve already ordered two more bundles — the Churchills and the Box Pressed Robustos, as well as a box of the Nero’s — because at this point, I’m sold. As someone who values consistency, craftsmanship, and flavor evolution in a cigar, Tabanero has absolutely earned my loyalty.

Phenomenal cigars. Exceptional value. Outstanding construction. And most importantly, cigars that make you excited for the next smoke.

“Today we were in Tampa and of course stopped by the Kahwa Coffee store on Tampa Street. Best coffee around. Nick waited on us, made our coffee and was very helpful . We enjoyed conversation with him and our coffee and breakfast. You have a very good employee there. We watched as he cleaned the coffee machine , etc. Thanks for your help and kindness Nick. Sincerely, Deborah & Clyde“

“Where have you been all my life?!
The food is Amazing! Croissant sandwich melts in your mouth. I wasn’t familiar with espresso based coffee and the girl took her time to help me find one that I would like. I was nervous to try it but I took a sip & now I am hooked!!
My quick trip of convenience turned into a new part of my day!“

“Decided to grab a quick lunch while in the area. So glad I stopped here. I ordered a Philly steak and cheese with fries. It was delicious! I also ordered a passionfruit smoothie. It was cool and refreshing. I will definitely return here!! 😋“

“Visited for a quick meet up, very nice aesthetic and atmosphere. Reminds me of a college town study cafe. The drinks are very well made I usually get tonics and the one here was rather tasty. Service was great and quick. We were saying we would regular here if we moved in the area, it’s next to a city square park and it adds to the experience.“
