Lucky Goat Coffee

I get that Covid is a BIG topic right now for everyone and every business. I try to be respectful and understanding to each businesses different policies. When there's a handful of people sitting at tables with no mask on I assume it's ok for me to not have one on. When I was told that the only way I'll be served without a mask is if I'm sitting down at a table and that I'm not "allowed" to stand in line, I agreed because that was your policy. But when you are rude to me by ignoring me when I ask a question or say thank you, that is when I have an issue. The only reason I'm giving two stars is because the lukewarm-ish coffee tasted ok. Don't be rude to ANY of your customers. Not good business at all.

One of the BEST coffee spots in town! Lucky Goat's coffee is freshly brewed and always tastes delicious. The perfect spot to meet a friend for a cup of coffee or grab a cup on the go- I highly recommend trying Lucky Goat!

Izzy made my coffee to absolute perfection!! I didn’t know they made coffee that great anymore… Anyway, love the ambiance and the staff is 11/10

I have been coming here for years and service is always consistent the barista team really knows their stuff and the atmosphere is cozy and calm most days. Best cold brew ever.

Excellent coffee and friendly service. Please take a break from Starbucks and hit an independent coffee shop like this one. I am a tea drinker and loved the coffee I experienced here.

A good friend of mine has worked here for years, so I've known about Lucky Goat for some time now but - I must confess - I've never gone out of my way to give it a try. That was my mistake and I regret wasting away these prime coffee drinking years on the likes of gas stations, national brands, and the like. Truth is, I always assumed they focused on whole-sale exclusively. While Wholesale IS (I suspect) the bread & butter of the operation, Lucky Goat is very much focused on providing the coffee lovers in the community with a Nirvanaesque coffee experience.

Sure, I've frequented local coffee shops in TLH (in fact, when I visited Lucky Goat today, I was wearing a Craig's Killer Coffee shirt), but I didn't realize how good it would be to enjoy a cup here.

First of all, I was struck by the expertise in the subject by both guys behind the counter. I've been a Bustelo drinker ever since we returned to the U.S. in 1982. (I'm not sure what we bought when we lived in Germany or Spain - but I figure it was about the same). Furthermore, I'm accustomed to a Moka pot. Ben (who I know to be the proprietor of Lucky Goat - and one of the two guys behind the counter) explained to me the challenges of duplicating what I was accustomed to. When I told him I was ready to upgrade from what I'd known for the past 30+ years, he set me up with the Black Gold French Roast, ground coarser than Turkish yet finer than espresso. When I brewed a pot at home - it was perfect so (by way of this Yelp review, Ben, Thanks!).

The atmosphere is pure coffee shop, with more lighting than some of the broodier joints around these days. I do enjoy a clean & well-lit place.

I did notice there were pastries available, although I was really just here to indulge in the coffee and as other reviewers have noted, it is quite good.

Lucky Goat, furthermore, is conveniently located near where I live. It'll only require that I drive past two coffee shops that I formerly frequented in order to enjoy this TLH pearl.

If you're a coffee lover, or simply enjoy the coffee culture itself, then it's very likely you already have your coffee corner in TLH (and, it's very likely they source their roasted beans from here). For you folks, definitely stay loyal to your places. I would encourage, however, a once-in-a-while visit here. If six stars were available, then six would be bestowed.

I've been here 3 or 4 times now so I've got precision in my review. I find the coffee and service are consistently mediocre, especially for a higher end coffee shop. I recommend Catalina as a better alternative for your high end coffee needs.

This place is the defintion of fantastic, not only is the food good but the interior design looks like something of of an Instagram post! The coffee selection is good, and the staff are helpful with their recommendations. There is also some health concious food options. All around a wonderful coffee spot!

Went in to buy a coffee today. And from 6 feet away from the counter I said: I have a question about a type of coffee, to which I was asked if I had a mask, I said no, I don't wear masks.... I was then asked if I would like a disposable mask... I said no, I don't wear them...! (I guess you have to wear a mask to get service, even though though FL said this is now optional. Do we also have to wear a mask to drink the coffee there also ??? So I walked right out, will NOT be going back.

Hands down the best coffee I've ever had, and I am an everyday coffee drinker. Friendly staff and always very fast. Please open one in Tampa! It would do very well!
