“I stopped in to get a honey dew milk tea, it’s delicious but the service was even better, very family friendly everyone is so kind. I’ll definitely be back my niece received some of the mochi waffles and they are DELICIOUS, she enjoyed them so much. We can’t wait to come back. It’s very rare to go out and have such a positive experience.“

“This review is for whatever girl was working the shift on Friday 7/31 at around 12pm to 12:30pm by herself (sorry I didn’t get your name). She was working by herself, drive through line full, inside full and she still greeted me and my daughter with an extremely pleasant demeanor, ATTEMPTED to make something for me she didn’t even know how to do & went to the back to look for the doggie popsicles to see if they were in stock, etc.

You have the patience of a saint & idk if you enjoy your line of work or not but you’re extremely good at it cause I would have been crashing out tbh. Even with everything going on, she remained calm and took control of what could have been a chaotic situation (for example, closing the drive through and asking people to place orders inside instead [hope I’m not getting you into trouble but to me this is a sign of excellent leadership skills]).

Anywho, good customer service skills are rare these days and that girl deserves a raise. Even my 13 year old commented on it & that girl don’t pay attention to anything lol

Hope they’re treating you well!“

Highly recommend KeKe's for breakfast!“

“Yum! Loved this Filipino restaurant and will definitely come again. We visited for Sunday lunch. I love that they have Impossible Meat as an option! We had plant-based lumpia, and it was great. Our party also ordered lumpia mix smash burger bao buns, chicken adobo bao, lemongrass chicken skewers, and lucky canton stir fry. Everything was delicious! Plus the halo halo bowl was enough to share between a few of us (we were also pretty full by end of lunch).

How it works: You order and pay at the counter and the cashier will give you a table number. Pick your seats and wait for delicious food. Tip: Order halo-halo ahead of time but request that they not make it until you’ve finished your meal. Then you won’t need to wait in line to order dessert.

— Seats both inside and outside.
— Street parking.

Family friendly notes:
— yes there’s high chairs
— no kids menu
— yes there’s a bathroom

Interesting find: Pocari Sweat! I drank this in Tokyo and could never find it in the US. So cool to see it in the cooler here.“

“I’m still dreaming about the The crepe itself was paper-thin and delicate, with those perfectly slightly crispy, golden edges that give way to a tender, light center. It was generously stuffed with fresh ham, and chese and the presentation was a work of art—were almost too beautiful to eat. It was decadent without being overwhelming, and the first bite was a total 'wow' factor."“

“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!“

“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!!“

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“

“Very nice atmosphere and service!“

“highly recommend, very good eats“

“Best in town! Highly recommended!“

“Absolutely love this place. The food is always filling, flavorful, and consistent, the pricing is fair, and Tarek himself is always either in the back making the food or up front interacting with customers with a positive attitude. The cafeteria is also spacious and a great study spot while you eat. I got the chicken Caesar wrap and my friend got the Cuban sandwich, both were delicious!“

“Storm offers the best healthy energy drinks (Storms) in the Tampa Bay Area and they are offered at a great price! They are an original blend of B6, B12, magnesium, potassium, pink Himalayan salt, green tea, and guarana plant, sweetened only with stevia leaf extract. They’re better than any energy drink in stores including Celsius and Alani and I rarely go to Starbucks anymore. I am excited for their growth as they recently opened their second location and I highly recommend them to everyone I talk to. Great people, great product. Tampa locals. Try one ASAP. You won’t regret it. Cheers! P.S. they offer more on their menu but I am forever a fan of their Storms specifically.“

“Very knowledgable staff, helpful and a great variety of products and services. A nice meeting spot to host guest with refreshing teas.“

“Me and my family came to visit and randomly found this Cuban restaurant. It’s a family owned business with friendly service and great tasting food! Betty is incredibly friendly and works to accommodate you, your food request and needs as long as you’re happy, she’s happy! Whenever we visit again we will be sure to visit again!“

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

“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“

“Super fast service and friendly atmosphere Food exquisite“

“Velvety smooth fresh hummus topped with extra olive oil - you can taste the tahini. Chicken Shawarma was perfect. Bacon Egg and Cheese NYC style. Custom cafe drinks made to your liking - unique flavors NOT too sweet. Fresh strawberry juice made day of. These gentlemen are on IT! What a cool hidden gem. Peaceful cafe perfect for quiet meetings and collecting your thoughts before a busy day. If I was local I’d eat here every DAY. Thanks Oasis Kitchen.“

“Good food. Big line after Xmas arrive early or call ahead on holidays“

“Great food, fantastic service!“

“Stopped by for the first time today. Staff was kind and helpful. The coffee was great. I appreciate that the soy milk wasn't sweetened like a lot of other places and that they didn't over steam and burn it. The cuban was tasty and the bread was excellent. It was a bit expensive but I don't mind paying a bit more for quality. It is also a very small space and kinda packed with stuff so more than a couple people at a time in there and it seems very packed. I just got everything to go because it was a busy day. If I had one suggestion.... PLEASE STAY OPEN LATER. Not everyone is a daylight dweller. 🤣“
