50 Best Cafes in Tampa

“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.“

“Rosenhiem in Tampa is a must-visit. The ambiance is warm, welcoming, and perfectly sets the stage for a memorable meal. The mixed grill was a highlight, featuring a variety of meats that were seasoned and cooked to perfection. The Turkish coffee was rich and robust, providing a delightful boost with its authentic flavor. To complement the meal, the lemon mint drinks were refreshingly crisp, striking a perfect balance with the spicy grill. With superb food, attentive service, and a cozy setting, Rosenhiem promises a fantastic dining experience.“

“My go-to coffee place in Tampa! Love the atmosphere and the people. Food is great - recommend the Cuban! And the lattes are the best around. Super cozy and a great place to read a book while enjoying some coffee!“

“We are not from the area and took a chance. Isekai did not disappoint! Food was so good. Fast and friendly service too. We especially loved the poke bowl, spicy tuna roll, and the Luffy on a flank. And our favorite show One Piece was playing on the TV! Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I went this morning for breakfast and I loved it!! First at all, the owner is lovely! Very kind and very informative about their menu, her husband was very nice as well.Place was super clean, music in the background was super relaxing and fun.Now food: I ordered huevos pericos(scrambled eggs with tomatoes and scallions) with an arepa filled with cheese(corn pie) and a cafe con leche.It was delicious!! The arepa was amazing! Great flavor, crunchy on the outside and soft inside. The cafe con leche was out of this world. My husband got a ham, egg and cheese sandwich on cuban bread, and it was delicious as well. We will definitely going back and recommend this place.“

“Best energy and protein drink place in Tampa! Highly recommend the Blueberry Acai refresher and the peanut butter protein shake.“

“There is nothing NOT to like about Wright's! Each item on their menu is carefully crafted and the quality of their food is always outstanding!!! I live roughly 45 minutes from their location and worth every minute to savor their flavors!!“

“Excellent atmosphere and some of the best cold brew I have ever had!! Great place and I highly recommend it!!“

This will definitely be our go to place.“

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

“I love a little hidden gem and this is definitely one of them. Tucked away in an office park this cafe delivers excellent food! The Cuban sandwich, the empanadas, and the beans and rice were all delicious! Don’t forget to ask for the homemade hot sauce and in the little cooler where the cold drinks are, don’t forget to grab a delicious little flan to top it all off! Cheers!“

“Finally got around to eating here, and will be coming back. The vibe, the drinks and let’s not forget the food but huge shout out to our lovely server,Hannah was the BEST, so full of life and great energy about her and was so helpful when we had all of questions, and shared her favourites with us, she even made my belated bday meal better with my very own sundae topped with strawberries and chocolate syrup!“

“Maaaaaannnnnnnnn oh mannnnnnnnnnn! If you are a fan of Filipino food and have not tried this place you are disrespecting yourself to the fullest. I was raised off of this type of cuisine, so when I tell you that this is the ABSOLUTELY BEST! Filipino food I have ever had the pleasure of placing in my mouth, I am serious as a heart attack. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and leaves you begging for more! The staff is exceptional in every regard and I will be making this a new home away from home! Thank you to the Lucky Tigre for this amazing experience. My wife, daughter, and I will be back in the very near future.“

“We were there for breakfast. It was very tasty and the Breakfast Tacos are highly recommended. The service was good. We were there with 5 people. As Europeans, the only thing missing was a cappuccino or espresso. If they had those, it would be the perfect breakfast restaurant. Complaining at a high level. Still, absolutely deserved 5 stars!“

“Went for Mother's Day as soon as they open. Very great service from Roy, the manage was the sweetest. Food was amazingly great, unfortunately 1 pancake was made incorrectly. Other than that everything was great for an anticipated busy outing.“

“Good and unremarkable. Just eggs and bacon, can't really screw it up. Really wish there were more gluten free options on the menu. Everything comes with pancakes, toast, or breakfast potatoes (which aren't that good). Service was friendly, restaurant was clean, no complaints.“

“Always first class service. Everyone is treated with respect and they literally think of everything! Even the staff treats each other with the highest respect. You won't find that in other places. We highly recommend LPCX and will be back soon!“

We will be back for again for a tour and more wonderful food. Thank you!“

“My new favorite eatery. Even though it's for us the homeless of Tampa Bay. We are welcomed and treated as though we are paying customers. I would like to think all workers and volunteers for exceptional service and for providing a wonderful energy filled environment as myself and others in my situation get through these trying and difficult times. May God bless and fill your life with joy and prosperity.“

“I hope terek (the owner) sees this because he really is just a ball of light and so passionate about what he does. I stop after my classes most days. His food is truly amazing, and for someone who doesnt eat pork, I can actually enjoy a cuban sandwhich because of his turkey ham. I cannot tell you a dish that I havent liked. He accomodates to literally anybody and everyone. He i such an amazing part of USF that I will forever hold onto, please never leave!!!!“

“It was a lot of fun as it was the first time there for Drag Queen Bingo, had been there twice before but for lunch and dinner..everyone was enjoying themselves and made 2 new friends from the neighborhood!!“

“This location is the best BY FAR , Yes you have your Starbucks and Buddy brew downtown but KAHWA holds a dear place in my heart.Lindsey & Sabrina are PHENOMENAL.I wish all locations had these ladies .From the time I enter the coffee shop until the time I leave we always have meaningful conversations. I'm always greeted with a friendly warm smile that just makes my day ALWAYS .I recommend everyone to Kahwa .“

“The most delicious Cuban Sandwich made in Tampa!!! And the best cafe con leche, desserts.“

“One of the best cigar lounges in Tampa. Best cafe con Leche in Tampa.“

“This is one of the best burritos I’ve ever had and it’s out of a food truck at a gas station. We were at the Elder Ford and told them we have to leave food and they said what would you like, we said mom and pop they said what about tacos we said yes and glad we did, it was amazing highly recommended!Parking: It’s at a gas stationKid-friendliness: Kids are allowed!“

“Firstimer here! And so far I'm in love. I came since they were pretty much the only store in Tampa that had the Rubicon Neopolitan Vegan cupcakes in stock. They had a huge variety of dairy free/nut free groceries like quite chocolate bars, ravioli, and muffins... the good tasting kind too. It like a smaller, less expensive version of a Sprouts/WF. All in all 5 stars so far!“

“The food is great. The staff is always friendly and welcoming. And you never know what you might see there! I love the fact that the family is so involved with animal rescue.“

“We ordered the mojo pork platter, ropa vieja platter, Cafe con leche, and plantains. The food is tasty and the price is just right. The bathroom was dirty like a porta potty at a music festival. Should you eat here if you want Cuban food? Yes.“

“Nice little place with pretty good food! Maybe five tables in the joint. We got the palomilla steak, Moro, and fried plantains. Steak was nice and tender, people were nice and welcoming. Lady knew everyone by name! Reminds me of the little mom and pop restaurants growing up! Will definitely be back! Also, the colada we got after was really good. Have a nice selection of sodas as well! Give it a try!“
