We always loved Willa’s, whether for coffee, breakfast, lunch or dinner. We recently just went for an early dinner for the holiday ambiance and it was the perfect date night. Always enjoy their food and always the best service from Joe per usual!

Warm, stylish, and intimate — an ideal setting for a bridal shower. The cozy interior design added such a beautiful touch to every photo. We truly enjoyed taking photos there!

We have an uncomfortable situation today morning that after paying the waiter follow us and ask us why we left such a small tip. First of all we were three people and also there was not a suggested tip percentage. It was a really uncomfortable situation and it was in front of other people.

Willa’s in Tampa is an absolute gem for anyone craving exceptional drinks, outstanding food, and a delightfully laid back atmosphere. Our server, Matt, was the epitome of hospitality warm, attentive, and full of recommendations. The food was nothing short of spectacular, the mac and cheese is an absolute must try— it was creamy, indulgent, and perfectly executed. The interior sealed the deal with its inviting dim lighting and effortlessly relaxing vibe, making it a great spot to unwind, have a bite to eat and a good drink.

We had the most phenomenal wedding at Willa’s this past Saturday, and none of it would have been possible without their incredible venue/event guru, Angelique. She is pure magic — patient, kind, trustworthy, talented, and has the most infectious positive attitude. From start to finish, she went above and beyond. During wedding planning, we exchanged hundreds of emails and met multiple times in person as she wanted to make sure our day was everything we ever dreamed of (and more). She thought of things I didn’t even know were a thing, and on the day of our wedding she made it a point to check on us periodically to ensure we were eating, hydrating, and having the best time.

A lot of our friends who had only dined at Willa’s or grabbed coffee at Willa’s Provisions couldn’t picture how we’d pull off a ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception all under one roof — but Angelique made it all happen flawlessly. The vibe, setup, and space were perfect for our 75 guests — cozy and connected. The outdoor patio for cocktail hour gave everyone a chance to enjoy the perfect weather and fresh air, and the decor tied beautifully into our boho-chic, slightly vintage style.

Willa’s made it so easy for us to bring in our own personal touches from a pre-ceremony beverage cart, crĂšme brĂ»lĂ©e and tiramisu desserts made in house, the watercolor guest sketch artist, and an espresso martini ice luge! The signature cocktails were a hit, the food was phenomenal, and our guests haven’t stopped raving about the attentive, kind service.

There is truly nothing we would change about our day except wishing we could slow time down and relive it again. Major shoutout to the entire Willa’s Team (I wish we could remember more names) — Angelique, Joe, and Marissa are true MVPs — we are forever grateful to you all for making our wedding day unforgettable. If you’re looking for a cool, local spot for an intimate and fun wedding, you’d be silly not to consider Willa’s!

The service here is always wonderful! And the staff is so kind and attentive

 Joe is amazing! The atmosphere, music, and cleanliness make it such a nice place to visit, and I love the coffee menu. Love the interesting flavors. That said, lunch for two came to about $90 for two entrĂ©es + two cocktails, and while the food is good, my husband’s steak was overcooked and not rested properly. For that price point, I’d expect a bit more consistency from the kitchen. Still, I find myself coming back often, which says a lot about how much I enjoy this place overall!

Great Food

I went to Willa’s on a late Sunday afternoon in time to take advantage of their very good happy hour. The restaurant is large and a little stark but comfortable. My server was very helpful and pleasant.

I planned to order the chicken and chips but needed a veg. The server recommended the Brussel sprout appetizer. It was great—maybe the best preparation I’ve ever had—and the serving was very large. The roasted chicken covered with a great salsa verde was delicious as well. I had plenty of leftovers to enjoy later.

I would normally skip dessert, but the food was so good I decided to order one. I had the oat and chocolate pie which was very good.

I’d happily return any time.

This place was chosen by a friend who had never been there before. Let me start by saying that I’m not the type to believe “the customer is always right,” but this restaurant definitely needs to improve its customer service and how they handle certain situations. My friend and I were seated at a very small table (which is fine, it's just the two of us). Unfortunately, I ended up facing a blank wall with my back to the door—not a big deal, but I wanted to enjoy the ambiance since it was my first time there. My friend suggested I move my chair next to hers so we could both face the room. There was plenty of space around us, so I didn’t think it would be an issue.When the waitress came over, she greeted us but immediately told me that I would have to move my chair back once the people with reservations next to us arrived. I said that wouldn’t be a problem since I was already planning on doing that. After noticing that the table next to us had even more space between tables, we asked to switch, we did. I moved my chair next to my friend's. You could tell the waitress wasn’t happy about it, but I brushed it off. When she came back with our drinks, she said the manager insisted I move my chair back. I’ve never been anywhere where management made such a big deal over a chair—especially when it wasn’t blocking any walkways or creating a hazard.What made it worse was that the guest seated next to us later positioned his chair the exact same way (picture attached), and no one said a word to him. Maybe it was because the group was spending more money than we were but it felt unnecessarily petty, maybe even discriminatory. Whether it was because I’m a woman or because they assumed I was trying to be difficult, the whole situation left a bad taste in my mouth. Afterward, I read other reviews mentioning poor customer service, lack of greeting at the door, bland atmosphere, and underwhelming food—and I have to agree. The grits that came with my meal had no flavor and had mashed potatoes texture to them, though the sandwich I ordered was good. Still, for $20, I can easily find other places that make you feel welcomed. I won’t be coming back.

Loved brunch at Willa’s! Cool vibe, great menu with lots of options. I had the huevos rancheros and a cortado both amazing. A bit pricey but totally worth it!
