This place is Great!! From the Food to the Pricing and right back to the Owner and employees!! Been going here a min of twice a week. Got most of my fellow workers hooked on Papis Cafe.
They close at 3pm and only open from Monday through Friday. Breakfast Lunch and buy you a dinner plate to take home. My name is Willie and I definitely approve this Message!!

I came in today for the first time ever and got the tripleta and let me just say this was the best tripleta sandwich I've had outside of small mom and pops in Puerto Rico. This is without a doubt best in Tampa(I've had a lot.) This place is seriously really good. The sandwich was so moist and the meat was tender. I bit into the sandwich and instantly tasted that it was worth the 11.99 I paid. (Cuban is only 9.99)
Never disappoints!

Papi's Cafe, located in the Florida Blue Tower, offers delicious breakfast and lunch options. Their breakfast sandwiches on Cuban bread, cooked bacon, and coffee are highly praised. The cafe has great coffee and a fantastic hot bar of food for lunch, with the option to order from the menu. It’s a convenient spot to grab a quick bite of home-cooked food instead of fast food. Customers can enjoy generously portioned meals at reasonable prices, including items like fried rice, pork, and empanadas, all well seasoned. The staff is friendly and welcoming, providing friendly smiles and a warm atmosphere. Vegetarian options are also available. The location is a bit tricky, but many find it worth visiting, especially when they have tres leches, which is considered super delicious. Recent reviews highlight the friendly staff and delicious Cuban sandwich, which is perfectly pressed with a good balance of condiments, meat, and bread. Some customers noted that certain menu items like yucca and sauces for empanadas were unavailable, and some sides like tostones were dry and needed salt. Overall, the food is praised as being out of this world, with the lunch special featuring pulled pork rice and beans receiving special mention for its amazing flavor. The Reuben sandwich is fresh and tasty, making Papi's Cafe a popular spot for both quick bites and satisfying meals.
