“My goodness! What a great experience finding this place all the way from Virginia. We've been to quite a few Cuban restaurants in the area, but the flavors and the food here was above them all. Great menu and the service was awesome. Thanks to Julie, Tony, and Dagne for making this experience a memorable one. We'll definitely be back for more. I totally recommend this place.“

“Absolutely fell in love with this shop! Suki was so welcoming and friendly I had to drive here before I went back home. The bing soo is out of this world, never had anything like it. Definitely a must have when in the area! Will for sure be driving up here again to get my fill!“

“We were visiting town and were looking for something good. Oh did we find the jackpot!! The food here was absolutely delicious!! We decided to share our meals in order to get to try more. Two rice versions (yellow & dirty), yams, mac & cheese, catfish, oxtail, honey fried chicken, smoked cabbage were perfect!! Oh do not skip the sweet cornbread almost like a cornbread pound cake and another must is the banana pudding!! Every bite was a soulful bliss of love, flavor, & freshly made goodness!! Wish we lived closer would be a frequent stop for us!! Oh and the vibe along with customer service was excellent!! God bless!“

“Amazing place and even better service. Rick and Mariam were so kind and accommodating to us. They treated us like family! And even gave us a kava shell on the house as it was our first time. Atmosphere is beautiful all the decor is very clean and beautiful. ? music playing as well which just added to the comfiness of the place. Kratom was exceptional as well as their variety of seltzers, smoke products, and merchandise We definitely will be returning and telling all of our friends and family to come here!“

“Amazing grilled mains, hot, and cold meze. The batata harra (spicy potatoes), hummus, and mixed grill were my favorite items, but everything was delicious! Truly home-style Middle Eastern cooking, including Arabic coffee (think Turkish coffee, but with cardamom) coupled with great service in cute patio seating. Definitely worth a visit while in Tampa/Ybor!“

“Delicious quality coffee served in a positive, welcoming atmosphere. I’m not a coffee connoisseur, but I appreciate a quality cup of coffee. I normally feel awkward going into a new coffee place, with their daunting menus and dead inside employees, but this place is definitely not one of those. The owner immediately put me at ease and helped guide me through their options for the perfect cup of coffee while getting to know us and sharing about the coffee shop. The barista was so nice and made a fantastic cup of their Cocoahaze iced coffee. I will definitely be going back to try the rest of their signature flavors, that was one of the best coffees I’ve had in a long time!“

“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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Kazba is such a wonderful cafe with plenty of delicious and unique options. Their decor is so beautiful and I just love being there. The staff is very friendly! When my mom (who was Moroccan) passed away, I went there to celebrate her. The owner gave me a free desert and spoke to me a little. Nothing but good things to say about Kazba! I always stop by when I'm in the area ❤️“

“Service was great, staff was friendly, and the food was good! I had the Cuban sandwich - I give it 5 stars. The bread had just enough crunch to it that it didn't tear my mouth up. It was buttery and warm! I love that it's served with lettuce, onions and pickle. It also comes with tomato but I omit that. I had a side of black beans and yellow rice as well. My husband got the Ruben, and there were a few fatty pieces of meat in it- the reason for the 4 stars. He said it was good, tasted great just didn't like the fatty pieces, he said it was a bit chewy. Overall, I recommend this restaurant. We both agreed we would come back. Our server was really sweet, and attentive.“

“So excellent. Food was absolutely fantastic, great service, cook atmosphere. This is my favorite Seminole Heights restaurant so far. Slow dinner shift on a Wednesday, had a very good live DJ despite the slowness of the evening. I hear that this place is a music venue as well. I'll definitely be coming back again and again to this place.“

“We were greeted when came in and sat right away. Our sever Roy was very knowledgeable, helpful, and tentative throughout the service. Had a cheese omelette, which was very good with a side of pancakes, which were excellent. They even brought me real Maple syrup. Rose the GM even stop by to check on us. A great experience would definitely come back again.“

“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!“

“My daughter and I were in the mood for an açaí bowl, and they definitely delivered a delicious bowl! We did the create your own bowl option…Great sized portion for the price, friendly local service. They also have smoothies, coffee drinks and other items I would like to try. Will definitely be coming here more often. Highly recommend!“

“Went to Keke’s yesterday for breakfast. What a great place. It started with the coffee and the orange juice. Both were delicious. I had the banana pecan pancakes and my husband had the waffle. They were so good. Such a special place to enjoy a wonderful breakfast.“

“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!“

“Hands down, the best bagels I've had in Florida. People always joke about how New York has the best bagels. I don't know what they're joking about, because it's a scientific fact. Since moving to Florida, it's been a struggle trying to find a decent bagel. There are some bagel shops that give it a good effort, but usually you're relegated to offerings of fast food establishments (no thank you), but not anymore. New York Bagel shines like a soft, doughy beacon amongst a sea of mediocrity. The bagels are perfect, the staff is super polite and friendly, and they even offer a BECSPK, which is the holy grail of breakfast sandwiches. If you're ever in the area, you should get a bagel from here. If you aren't in the area, make the trip.“

“This place is a hidden gem ! I was looking for a place to get my work done in a comfortable environment & this was perfect ! I had one of the refresher teas & did my work there for like 4 hours. The ladies at the front were super nice and fun. This is my new spot !“

“The food was super delish.I had the BLT sandwich with avocado and eggs…it was like sparkles in my mouth. Perfectly toasted bread, eggs sunny side up, fresh yummy greens, tomato and the bacon….omg the bacon is yum!I ate indoors and the music seemed exceptionally loud but the restaurant was clean and tidy. The staff were friendly and made a great sandwich so win win in my book.“

“Shelly’s is absolutely amazing the minute we walked in for our first time visit, everyone was friendly and attentive. The food is absolutely delicious. I highly recommend the home fries the best I’ve ever tasted in any restaurant in Tampa Bay. This will be our Sunday spot for sure.“

“Honestly, this place is a gift from God. A safe healthy joy and love filled environment. I went for my first time this week got the Moses Mocha latte. I was not rushed with the menu, or ordering. I was checked on. What meant a lot to me was after studying for a few hours the owner said goodbye and remembered my name. It made me feel seen, loved, and valued. Exemplifying the love of Jesus. I left thanking God for giving me this little cafe that I can now study at and bring my friends to where in a crazy chaotic world I can escape and find peace and the presence of God. Thank you for your yes and for your obedience. I've been praying for a coffee shop like this!Parking: Lots of spots!“

“Went in there on a Sunday and fell in love with a new restaurant.. I ordered the baked chicken with yellow rice,yams, Mac and cheese,and collard greens. Everything was delicious but the greens were like Granny's.They even had pouches of cool-aid.I was impressed and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for some great soul food.“

“So far I can not say anything bad about this place I walk in get greeted the food is cook to order and on top of that lunch all day.... that's a plus since I work overnight.... And to put the icing the waitress Brittany deserve more than what she is getting credit for. She must see a thousand faces but when I walked in she said you eating lunch d. For her to remember my name is top tier this place will be my go to place the little while I'm in tampa“

“I've heard great things about keke's but honestly I think it's a bit overhyped. I thought everything was pretty good but not great. I'm not even sure if the syrup was maple but that should be a must if the toast itself is not that flavorful. Sometimes French toast is the equivalent of eating a scrambled egg with white bread and syrup but that is not enough !!! At least in my humble opinion lol cheers everyone“

“Lit Nutrition is such a fun family friendly environment that is also pet friendly, the owners were really nice and they answered all my questions with it being my first time there it really felt like a second home. I highly recommend you come out and see them. Just ask for Cynthia Josh Jerry or chelsea.Kid-friendliness: Just like pets children are also welcome“

“My wife and I have the opportunity to go by Leads Coffeehouse today and it was AWESOME! Coffee was great and so was the food. Great place to go meet clients and get some work done and just enjoy some good coffee. Very good atmosphere. Great ownership as well. Will definitely go back again soon. Keep up the good work!“

“What an amazing beautiful place. I’ve driven past so many times. I finally went today with some mom friends and had a fabulous lunch. I’ve never had a salad so fresh! The citrus dressing was perfect and the lentil soup was also delicious. Looking forward to some homemade bread and chicken salad for lunch tomorrow. We will be back for again for a tour and more wonderful food. Thank you!“

“A wonderful, made to order Cafe on the first floor of a business center. The Turkish family that operates the spot could not be more friendly or accommodating. Greeted with a smile the instant I came in, they were helpful with recommending what to get. I went with the tuna club sandwich, which was very tasty. I also couldn't resist trying the baklava, both traditional and chocolate. Finally, a hot Turkish coffee to finish the meal made for a great lunch experience. I highly recommend this place, and look forward to coming back again. You could also pick up a few homemade provisions, a Turkish made Mosaic decorative lamp, or a bag of Turkish coffee to take home.“

“Starting my day right with a delightful breakfast date with my little one! ?❤️ Nothing beats yummy food, quality family time, and the warm hospitality of our server Marissa. Feeling grateful for these precious moments that fill my heart with joy! #FamilyTime #GratefulHeart ##BreakfastBuddies #BreakfastDate #QualityTimeWithKids #FriendlyService ☀️??‍?‍?‍?✨“

“Despite being a Sunday, I was seated immediately by a window. Service was friendly and helpful. The food arrived soon. It was tasty but a bit difficult to eat as the toast and prosciutto were chewy and difficult to cut with the knife, so it took a bit of work to eat. But it tasted good, and the bloody mary was pretty good, too. Check was delivered quickly so I was able to pay and leave without a long wait. I'll go back!“

“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.“

“Me and my husband came in to get some cuban coffee; Cafe con Leche and I tried their strawberry Nutella crepe.....it was delicious. One of the best crepes I've had in a long time and it definitely satisfied my long standing craving to have a good crepe. I recommend this location because the young ladies are super nice and helpful. Definitely will love to visit again when we visit Tampa again.“

“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!!!!“

“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!“

“It's a nice place to get a ice cream as I tried the strawberry one and it was delicious. And the smoothie? 10/10. Just wow.Kid-friendliness: As a 11 year old, the people working let me buy the food without me needing a parent. What nice people!“

“What a great location! Centrally located only a few miles away from TPA. With an extensive selection of cigars and plenty of burbon to choose from you won't be disappointed. Brittany completes the experience by always serving with a smile. Her personality and friendly demeanor makes it very enjoyable to spend hours just to sit and chill or bring your laptop and work for a while. Either way stop by as this is the place to be for having a great cocktail paired with a fine cigar!“

“This place is so wonderful. Customer service was awesome. I will say right away im not the biggest fan of boba (mostly popping pearls and what not) but the employee convinced me to get it and was i not disappointed what so ever literally the yummiest boba EVER! If i was still in school this place would have been my go to study place. Great overall! You guys are awesome! keep it up :)“

“Almost every week day I drive by the Corner Club but never got to check it out, so glad we finally did—what a great place! The honey butter breakfast biscuits are so moist and delicious! ? Love the atmosphere too, it was definitely a pleasant surprise…we will be coming back and checking out events there. ?“

“We originally weren’t suppose to go to Big Bamboo Bayside. Boy, we are happy we did go there. The food was fresh. The drinks were on point. The view was spectacular. We were there for a tournament and were upset that we didn’t stay at the resort right above Big Bamboo just to try everything on their menu. I had a chicken Caesar salad. Delicious!!! Others that were with me had the cheesesteak was made perfectly. The chicken Caesar salad wrap was fresh and not dry at all. The fries were just right. Nachos piled high too much for us too handle. The chicken quesadilla was exactly how we ordered it. We regret that we had to leave to go back home. But definitely when in town, I will make several stops. Blue Hawaiian was my drink. I wish I had one now.“

“Found this cute little place searching for dog friendly breakfast. Like an upscale starbucks, great food choices freshly made, great coffee and drink choices. Found a table in a nice sunny spot on a chilly morning, ordered our food and drinks and it was brought out to our table Ina very short time, brought a dish of water for our dog also. Very friendly service. Enjoyed our breakfast and just had to go back in and get a few muffins and scones.“

“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!“

“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.“

“The owner is very kind and professional. The hot honey chicken and waffles is amazing and the Grouper Dinner is great. My three year old is very picky and this is one of the only restaurants that he will eat their sides. Don't forget your mango cheesecake, that cake always hits the spot!!!! -Lorraine“

“Moxie's Too is a breakfast/ lunch place that happily overwhelmed me with lunch sandwich choices. I ordered The Boss, a 12" hot sandwich made with Corned Beef, Pastrami, Thousand Island Dressing with Cole Slaw on it. Very tasty.The atmosphere was "lunchtime busy" but not annoyingly so.I will return to Moxie's Too again and recommend it for good sandwiches.“

“The food was really good. My friends and I each tried a different dish and we each tasted each other's meal. Everything was delicious! I would go back again. The cinnamon roll pancakes were yummy and the sope benedict was amazing! Definitely recommend.“

“I wish I would’ve taken pictures, but this was so authentic you have to experience it for yourself!! I came to Tampa from Tally visiting family and there’s NO FOOD like this in Tally…there just ISNT! This place is family friendly and to say welcoming is an understatement!!! We had a language barrier to a degree and this restaurant was so KIND, POLITE, CURTIOUS, SWEET, etc. we were a big party of 10 with little kids too! There is a section out back with games, karaoke, a pool table, and inside was spacious enough for us all! They really catered to us and made us feel so comfortable! The food was absolutely delicious! Authentically Cuban with DELICIOUS OX TAILS and chicken!! Greens were delicious ?. They have natural freshly made smoothies and fresh squeezed juice. I bout a GALLON OF SOURSOP JUICE!! Expensive but I was even given a discount for the family!! WHICH BY THE WAY WE ALL HAD A SMOOTHIE OR JUICE!!! Great healthy juice. My favorite!! I really enjoyed this restaurant as well as the employees and food! The rice and beans were banging too!!! I WILL BE BACK and can’t wait to go back!! I never write reviews but it was TOO GOOD not to! I’m also encouraged to speak and learn more Spanish fluently here. I love this restaurant. Yall don’t forget me! Today was the grand opening by the way! We discovered this place by having a flat tire right in front of the restaurant, they really treat you so well!!Parking: Small Cuban restaurant.Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly. One thing I would say is maybe bring the kids during the daytime. I’m not sure how it is at night but there is a Pac-Man machine on the back/side patio and a pool table.Wheelchair accessibility: Many entrances with easy access for wheel chairs“

“Upon walking in we were greeted by both servers instantly. It was a genuine and warm greeting, and I felt like they were really happy I was there. Roberto recommended a table by the window and it was lovely. The prices are decent and the food was absolutely cooked to perfection. The coffee was smooth and delicious. I found this cafe from randomly googling diners, and I'm glad I chose this one. We will be back! Thanks for the great service Roberto!“

“Shout out to the staff at this Nature’s Table. I arrived at a busy lunch time and this staff was on top of all the orders with friendliness and smiles. Even when my order was possibly overlooked, they noticed me waiting and were prompt to deliver. The salad and smoothie were healthy & delicious too. I’ll be back when I’m in the area!“

“I had been looking for a place to eat a delicious ham cream for a long time and I found the place indicated in Fefa's Café. I also ordered pizza and spaghetti which were delicious too, and the best thing is the pizza dough is made by them. There are very few people left who dedicate their time to do it today. I will be a regular customer from today.“
