Café Vino Tinto

Amazing. So glad I kept walking past the Starbucks on Main street looking at the restaurants and shops. I walked right past this one Cafe and immediately stopped and turned around.

The aroma of their Coffee was like an invisible wall for me.

The employee at the window was very friendly and informative. She told me about their beans and that they grow in their farm in Costa Rica by a waterfall, hint that's why it's called waterfall coffee.

They also make some of their own syrups and lavender vanilla sounded devine. They have 1% milk as an option, much better than non fat milk heated. The coffee was amazing, smooth and fragrant and I didn't not need to add another shot.

I couldn't resist and I bought a bag of beans to take home.

They also have a breakfast /lunch menu and the cutest little seating area outside.

If your in Safety Harbor and need a coffee I highly recommend this spot. I'll be back.

This is a very popular place and consistently busy on the weekend. The wait staff is friendly. However to be honest I felt the waffles were quite plain. Good concept, but needs more fanciful “flair”. For example, the blueberry waffle, add some blueberries or other fruit for the garnish! For the cornbread bacon waffle, give me a piece of bacon! One other complaint, the syrup provided is CORN SYRUP, not maple syrup. I expect that at McD, but not here. Still, 4 star experience, and great to bring friends to for a brunch. Photos as of November 2020.

Delicious waffles, friendly staff. Not 100% sure the meaning behind the name "Cafe Vino Tinto", but worth checking out. The wild berry waffles were very flavourful, and the guava ones were good as well. Numerous options to choose from, but not many major variations (multiple "berry" options). They also have several coffee options to pair with your waffles. Would love to see maybe some more combo options or syrup/whip cream condiments, but overall would come back again.

Really good vibes, food is good but definitely not health food, but you're not going for health food right? The people there are really cool

Delicious and sweet flavors of waffles. I tried the lavender and vanilla syrup and didn’t love it in my iced coffee, but that was a me thing. I absolutely loved my tiramisu waffles. Sweet without being that sugary sweet. And the whipped cream was the piece de resistance.

The coffee here is really good! I had mine with sugar only as a cold brew and it was not acidic, it was smooth. They also have Coffee ice cubes!

They do some food items, including a for Todda which my husband eight and said was very good.

They have seating inside, and restrooms, but they also have outdoor seating on a patio or if you brought your dogs, you can sit under the oak trees.

This Sunday morning when we were there, there was also a family yoga class on the lawn nearby.

EDIT: NEW LOCATION!! It’s been an amazing journey for these folks. From a small coffee shop that consisted of a tiny space with a tiny window (I remember when they started and all they served was brewed coffee), to a new location with an expanded menu. This new place looks absolutely beautiful; they restored an old building on Main Street and decorated it tastefully with local art touches. The staff is amazing and it’s been so heartening watching them fulfill their dream. Café Vino Tinto is a staple of Safety Harbor and a place that makes one feel a belonging in this community. And as always, their coffee is delicious and waffles are out of this world good.

Awesome coffee, and weekend waffles are amazing! Staff is awesome and friendly, and they really contribute to the "community feel" with their coffee shop. Plus, there are always doggos outside with their humans...amazing place:)

Coffee was great! Vibe and atmosphere was fantastic! The "cheddar bacon biscuit" may not be what you're thinking - it's biscuit material with bacon and cheese blended into it. I didn't realize it was in the category of pastry until after I got it. It was ok but I was expecting a biscuit with bacon and cheddar on it. Wife had waffles but because they were served in a styrofoam container, condensation had taken away the crisp of a fresh waffle and replaced it with soft, not quite soggy waffles. Still, would eat here again.

Quick service, and the best waffles either side of the Bay! The café con leche was tasty also (Tiramisu waffles pictured. Also tried the Guava Waffles on a previous visit and they were yummy, too).

A cute little coffee shop.
The coffee was amazing.
Food was a little overpriced. Tasty and well presented.
