50 Best Cafes near Temple Terrace

“Amazing spot, with great customer service and very cozy atmosphere“

“I had to leave a review because I witnessed something that really showed the kind of heart this restaurant has. While I was waiting in line, a worker came in to change out the floor mats — I think he was one of their sanitation or delivery vendors — and once he finished, the lady working (possibly the owner) offered him food. That small gesture stood out to me so much. It showed how much she values and takes care of the people who support her business.

The food was amazing, but the kindness and energy here made the experience even better. You can tell this place is run with real love and respect. Definitely one of those hidden gems that deserves all the support.🥰“

“This is the first time we ate at the restaurant as a bar but we’ve been patrons of the previous coffee cafe for awhile, I ordered that stack burger and it was absolutely delicious. I would skip the chain restaurants and give them a try you won’t be sorry trust me!“

“Quickly’s is definitely an acceptable choice if you’re in the area and need a quick bite or drink. Their creative and visually appealing drinks taste pretty good, although the boba pearls themselves are just average (a bit hard in the middle, texture not as chewy, and tasteless). Unfortunately, their popcorn chicken is a letdown—I’ve tried it a handful of times, and each time I’ve been disappointed enough that I’ve stopped ordering it altogether.

That said, their croffles are dangerously good. I’ve only tried the biscoff flavor so far, but if that’s any indication, the other flavors must be just as amazing.

The staff here are always super friendly and helpful, which makes for a consistently pleasant experience.

This review would have landed at a fair 3 stars, but the croffle, delicious drink creations, and top-notch customer service definitely bump it up to a 4.“

“Foxtail coffee is so delicious!! I've been obsessed with their iced matcha with lavender bitters. I recently had surgery and was craving some after and since I couldn't drive I had it delivered. I apologized in my notes for having a single drink delivered (it felt to myself a little silly to have a single drink delivered) but I wasn't clear to drive yet. Well they were so dang sweet and wrote this sweet note on it!! 🥹 It literally made my day. Thank you guys!!“

“Simply the best of everything always!!!!“

“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“

“Adorable place. So many wonderful vendors. Sweetest ladies working there!“

“The mushroom rice place, vegan dumplings, and vegan lumpia are all amazing! Highly recommend. Pandan drink also good and I’m not really a drinks person. Just visiting Tampa but would have gone back more if I could, and I already went twice. My non vegan friend also really enjoyed the vegan options.“

“We had the Italian wrap and egg salad on croissant and a cobb salad, WOW delicious every bite was a treat , so grateful we stumbled on this nice little café , Well Done Folks and thank you we will be back for sure :)“

“I feel nice and full after that meal, thank you!! I also really enjoyed talking to one of the volunteers. I didn't ask her name and I have bad eyesight to see her name tag but I think her name was Terren or something similar. Just a super nice person and I had a great time. Thanks for all that y'all do for the community“

“Amazing! Food was fresh and the coffee AMAZING!“

“Incredibly delicious food and large portions every time !! My favorite place to eat in Tampa by far, I visit often. They have a lot of variety, so you can always find something to eat. The chicken curry specialty dish is exquisite I highly recommend it if it’s on their menu. As said by Tarek, he cooks for lunch and dinner and only charges for lunch ??“

“Corona Coffee Shop, led by Yohanna Santos, provided exceptional catering for our wedding reception. The delicious dishes included tender pork, stew, baked chicken, arroz con gandules, shrimp pasta, creamy potato salad, and delightful yuca, all earning rave reviews from our guests. 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.“

“We visited KeKe's Sanford location for the first time yesterday, Dec.,7th, 2024. Everything we ordered was over the top delicious. The portion size, especially the pancakes, you just can't eat it all! The coffee was hot and delicious! Kimberly knows her cafe! She made suggestions and took such good care of us. Highly recommend KeKe's for breakfast!“

“The coffee was decent here. I had the caramel latte. It wasn't overly sweet, a very mild smooth taste. I also had the blueberry muffin. It was OK,... could be a little more moist. I was a little disappointed that I couldn't have it warmed. However, the atmosphere here was awesome calm and quiet, the way I like it to be in the morning. The have an outside porch with lots of shade which lit makes it cool spot. Great for a quick coffee stop.“

“Best in town! Highly recommended!“

“this is the real deal food was amazing the vibe was really cool but the food was the best I ever had“

“Delicious food! Great service! The best part is the speed that the food is ready! Thanks ladies!“

“This was, without a doubt, one of the best chicken Phillys I've ever had! You could really tell the cook took immense pride in preparing it. Beyond the fantastic food, the staff was incredibly polite and genuinely nice. I'll absolutely be back here on my next visit to Tampa!“

“I want to grab coffee and Cuban bread for breakfast. I'm never in that area but thought I'd check it out as I was passing through. Walking in, it felt like a cozy Cafe that I'd probably go to with my friends for coffee. The weight staff was very pleasant and quickly took my order to go. The coffee was a little weaker than the other Caribbean places I have visited. However, the Cuban bread was tasty and perfectly buttered. Overall I'd go back again.“

“BEST chicken salad sandwich in town!! My lunch staple 3 out of 5 days. Caren and her team are incredible.“

“Wonderful food, although a little bit on the salty side. The bourbon chicken specialty is the most tender and juicy chicken that you’ve ever had with wonderful seasoning. Their portion sizes are huge, with them giving between three and five scoops of chicken for a $10 meal. However, their mac & cheese was watery and diluted, and didn’t taste that good. I recommend getting the standard chicken with the fried rice that it comes with, but no sauce if you’re trying to stay on a low sodium diet. Quick and fast service with very friendly staff. All in all a pretty good restaurant. Come see for yourself. (Independently owned)“

“One of the best restaurants in town! The quality of food and service in excellent and you can taste the passion for good cooking in every dish that comes to the table. Go to Rosenheim and enjoy great food and exotic atmosphere to complete your experience! Going back soon.“

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

“Love coming to this Kahwa! Danika is always super friendly and always remembers my order — it really gives that “feels like home” vibe. The atmosphere is always welcoming, the coffee’s consistently great, and the service makes every visit something to look forward to!“

“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 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.“

“Ordered the Jerk chicken and Mac cheese, it's fresh and delicious... server was very friendly and helpful.“

“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 “

“Excellent place for a quick bite off the bus station“

“Highly recommend the breakfast Cuban. Bread had to be baked last night or this morning — so fresh. What the sandwich lacks in spice it makes up for in subtlety and creaminess. The breakfast croissant is goat cheese forward, but you still get the butteriness of the croissant and the sharpness of the spinach. Any goat cheese lover should try it. The caramel latte isn’t too sweet. The music is unique and enjoyable.“

“Very friendly Nice place to stop at“

“Gas is cheaper and I like buying in bulk“

“Love the food they customize it to your needs or your wants. Great personalities makes lunchtime fun very fresh ask for Angel and Juanito. They are the best they’re better than the rest. 👏😂 yup❤️❤️‍🔥 also I just wanna say the food looks nothing like the pictures that are on the original website. They’re so generic. There’s so much flavor and goodness in this food I try to post a picture of my sandwich to show you.“

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

“Great food. Price is right!! Service excellent!“

“Great place to have lunch downtown! They have awesome outside seating!“
