Cafe Hey

I had a good experience here. I visited twice for breakfast. I was happy to find vegan options for breakfast earlier than most places. Their coffee is of excellent quality as well (see below). I hope, over time, they can build up their vegan menu; I think they're working on it from what the owner told me.

I will go back when I'm in the area. One thing I couldn't place, something about the vibe of both the place and the people working there, was off. I would like to see more sustainable packaging! They are using one of the worst plastics you can use in terms of sustainability (ps6). Yet, I should say they were helpful and patient with my questions and food orders.

The pumpkin spice latte and Vietnamese coffee were high-quality drinks. The food also was tasty. The prices were very reasonable too.

I’ve been coming to Cafe Hey for over a decade. Cheong has created such a cool & creative atmosphere that is great for a mid-day unwind with a cup of coffee. They have plentiful options available, so nearly all dietary restrictions can be accommodated. They also have regular events, including poetry, open mic, and art shows. I love the Iced Cafe Con Leche! If you want to eat, I recommend the ‘Rebel Rebel’ sandwich.

I stopped in at Cafe Hey to try out the vegan breakfast burrito, but unfortunately, they were all out of the tofu scramble. I came in around 12:30, so I suppose I should accept that it's first-come first-serve -- they were even out of the beer I ordered. However, more accessibility to their full menu and pastries would be appreciated. The friendly staff member suggested the V.L.T (BLT with Sweet Earth bacon), to which I added avocado. The bread was flaky and delicious and the bacon was cooked better than I can cook that brand at home. Sadly, the tomato was pale and flavorless and there was a bit too much vegenaise, in my opinion. Also, the red cabbage was an unconventional but not very well-received ingredient added to the classic sandwich. The potato salad was very tasty and well-seasoned, albeit also heavy on the vegenaise. The guava turnover I ordered was good, not great. The overall atmosphere is cozy and welcoming; it's a great place to get a cuppa and enjoy a book or talk with friends. I will be back to give this sweet little spot a second chance, but the first impression fell short of my expectations.

This place is becoming my new place to escape for a delicious, inexpensive Cuban coffee. I have to try some of the other options on the menu too.

Lots of local art and books create a cozy feel at this place. They also have signs for community events and upcoming comedy nights. This is clearly a local favorite.

I had a fantastic turkey sandwich (Turkey in the Grass, pictured). Just as I was thinking to myself "Wow, is this the best turkey sandwich I've ever had?", another person in the shop shared that she was eating was the best turkey sandwich she'd ever had. Astonishingly, it wasn't even the same sandwich - she'd ordered the Festival Turkey. I can only recommend the one I had, but I'll be returning to try the other. Cheers!

Great coffee....

I Enjoyed my cafe con Leche and my husband enjoyed his caramel latte with banana syrup.

My hubby ordered the Cuban sandwhich and found it tasty. I had the non traditional avocado toast.....it was more of a sandwhich with cream cheese tomato and avocado spread. I found it ok. But the bread made for both sandwiches was delicious.....we both raved about it.

Stopped by to check out the vegan options. Their coffees and stuff are great! I had an iced vegan coffee drink with oat milk and it was really good. I liked the pressed breakfast sandwich. The tofu scramble is ok. I would definitely go back if I was in the area. I bought a cookie too and it crumbled to pieces and powder and it was ok.

Lots of options for vegans and a great selection of custom coffee drinks. We stopped in early on a weekday and the barista was very welcoming and willing to customize our drinks. The vegan BLT was perfectly made. We look forward to trying the other vegan menu options!

Liked it! Tasty vegan breakfast sandwich, quick and simple before departing Tampa; will try some other items next time. Extra points for the hipster vibe and cool murals surrounding the joint… Update, tried the VLT and it was also awesome.

Cafe Hey was in my list from a long time to have coffee from.
On Sunday morning, we were looking for a place to have coffee and quick bite so we decided to visit Cafe Hey.
Cafe Hey is about 20 minutes from our place and there is ample of parking spaces available near Cafe Hey.
When we entered the cafe we saw that cafe was decorated with paintings from local artists, they also have a section of books and one can also read tampa bay times newspaper in the cafe while waiting for order.
We directly went to order our coffee and quick bite.
After browsing through the menu we decided to order Vietnamese Iced Coffee, Hot Latte with OatMilk, and for quick bite with coffee we ordered T'ank and Avocado Toast.
After ordering we took our seats in the cafe.
We soon got our coffee which was Vietnamese Coffee and Hot Latte with Oat Milk.
The coffee was delicious and it was freshly brewed. We loved our coffees.
We had to wait for few minutes before we got our food.
T'ank and avocado toast was delicious made with cuban bread. The food was hot and bread was crispy and freshly made.
We loved our food too.
Amazing cafe with delicious coffee and food.
