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

“Mango’s Cafe is a culinary gem that promises an unforgettable dining experience. From the moment you step inside the inviting atmosphere sets the perfect backdrop for what is sure to be a fantastic meal.

I had the pleasure of trying several dishes during my visit, and I can confidently say that everything was a perfect 10/10. Each plate was a delightful explosion of flavor, showcasing the restaurant’s commitment to quality and creativity. The menu offers a diverse selection, but you can’t go wrong with their honey fried chicken and the catfish which was made to order was literally perfect!

But it’s not just the food that makes Mango’s Cafe stand out. The customer service was exemplary. From the moment I walked in, the staff was friendly and attentive.

If you’re a newcomer, don’t be deterred by the line outside(and inside)—trust me, the food is absolutely worth the wait! The buzz of excited patrons only adds to the vibrant atmosphere, and once you take your first bite, you’ll understand why so many people are eager to get in.

Excitingly, with a new location opening soon, there will be plenty of deliciousness to go around! Whether you're a local or just visiting Tampa, make sure to add Mango’s Cafe to your must-try list. You won’t regret it!“

“We found Cozy Coffee Cafe in the aftermath of Hurricane Milton. They welcomed in the community to charge electronics and use their wi-fi for free. We took this opportunity to enjoy breakfast and coffee. The food and service was fantastic. The owner and staff was so friendly. You can tell it's a very welcoming environment where people get to know each other. We stayed for a long while and will absolutely be going back. This is a local establishment that deserves the community's support. Please give them a try.“

“Yummy drinks. Must try in the area“

“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!!“

“Really hate to see the place go. Great food and Great people.“

“We are very happy we tried many of their chicken dishes, all were so yummy! Will definitely be ordering more in the future. Delivery was easy and fast, Page was extremely helpful with my pickup order too! Taste and presentation are on spot!“

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

“I want to give a special thanks to Moe and Muhammad for catering our lunch today here at Advent Health Tampa, we appreciate it dearly; everything was delicious and very well presented.“

“Great coffee ! Good happy service.“

“Absolutely delicious! I highly recommend visiting this spot. We had takeout but there is a seating area as well. The rice plates were so so good. The lemongrass chicken and the lechon kawali were perfect. Loved the pickled veggies and sauces as well.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“I didn’t know food soul food existed in Tampa. I was also surprised to find out she offers vegetarian options for us non-meat eaters. I came for a Friendsgiving event, and had the yams, macaroni and cheese, cornbread, mashed potatoes and green beans. Delicious! Get your southern fix in and try M&R Cafe.“

“Best N Y bagels in Tampa. Always fresh and delicious . Very friendly staff and great service. All of their menu items are wonderful!“

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

“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!“

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

“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.“

“My go-to bagel spot in Tampa! Closest thing I’ve found that resembles NY bagels. I end up here about once every few months when I get a craving. Line can be crazy. Wish you could order ahead and just pickup. Dog park attached, which is stellar. I’ll be back time and time again.“

“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 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“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“Been craving for a buffalo chicken wrap. Checked this place out since it’s literally one of the very few places to grab lunch around the way from the business offices in the area. I’m glad I came to check them out it was so good. I’m glad I was able to place my order for pick up to still have plenty of time to drive back to work and eat it without being rushed to go back in. Wish I knew about this place sooner. Will definitely be trying other foods from the menu real soon.

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

“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)“

“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.“

“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 ??“

“Appreciate the offer. I have upgraded to a 4 star from a one star because I really appreciate the apology. Don't typically get those. Thank you.

Barista with purple hair RUDE RUDE RUDE! And the guy working with her at the register Aug 31st RUDE RUDE RUDE! I was going to give 5 stars for coffee, food, and tea. But honestly I'm just sad. I was having a great morning. And then now I'm upset again. Thanks for nothing. Won't be back nor will I recommend.“
