Cafe Hey

Great little health food place kinda fusion maybe. They had what I needed and service was fast… Cuban was great! Eve was excellent!!! Thanks girl!!! 👍🤪🤣

I love Cafe Hey! I go once a week with a group of coworkers right when they open and usually recommend it for quick lunch. The staff is always friendly and accommodating. I love the Vietnamese iced coffee, festival turkey sandwich, and cuban toast.

We did a quick visit to Tampa with family members who aren’t vegan like we are. We chose Cafe Hey for breakfast because they have both vegan and non vegan options. Everyone absolutely enjoyed their food. The coffee was amazing and the staff was super nice and accommodating. We would absolutely be back when in the area.

Was in Tampa for a weekend and went back here twice because their vegan options were so good! Highly recommend getting the Cafe con leche. Delicious. They don't have anything like that where i live and it was amazing

The worst Vietnamese coffee ever. Taste like very bad water. If you had Vietnamese coffee here, please know that it does not and should not taste like this. I also ordered a warm cappuccino. It was awful too. Tasted like warm whole milk, with no coffee. Idk how this place has good reviews. Edu disappointed because I went there because of the reviews.

This place is one of the best vegan friendly breakfast and coffee spots in downtown Tampa. If you’re looking for a coffee spot that has a ton of flavor options - this is the spot. And they have GOOD coffee - it’s rich and creamy coffee that you can pair with a variety of flavors. They once had an ube latte that was so good. Their breakfast is pretty good too. My boyfriend is vegan, and we typically like to get breakfast together in the weekends, but I struggle to find places that have both good coffee and good breakfast with options for my boyfriend. Usually, you sacrifice on coffee for a decently priced breakfast spot with variety. For example - Daily Eats offers tons of breakfast options with some vegan options for Kev, but their coffee is ****. Cafe Hey, however delivers on both. Although they don’t have much variety on their daily breakfast menu, the do offer Sunday brunch specials occasionally to shake things up. And their daily breakfast menu has just enough variety to keep you coming back because you have enough options to try something different each time. They also deliver on coffee. I have a rating scale I use to compare every coffee shop in Hyde park/ downtown. The Lab coffee is a 10 and Blind Tiger is a 0. If you’re curious about this rationale I might leave a review on both these places explaining why lol. But Cafe Hey coffee is a solid 8.5 - The flavor options, creaminess, richness, and honestly I like the ice they use for their iced coffee. It’s crushed ice and I respect that. The only reason it’s not a 10 is because I’m not that fond of their hot coffee. It’s just not as great as it is iced. 🤷🏻‍♀️ So yeah, if you’re looking for an fun iced coffee and breakfast sandwich go to a Cafe Hey. Every time I come here I wonder why I don’t come here that often (it’s because I have to drive into DT Tampa - that’s the reason lol).

Ended up having a 5 hour delay for my Greyhound bus and spent it there, having both an iced coffee and a Cuban banh mi. Overall, it was a great place to hang and the food and coffee was really nice. The staff were also very nice and commiserated with me about the delay...

Great food, I enjoyed the breakfast sandwiches and the coffee was good. Reason for the one less star is because the coffee didn’t have strong flavor like I wanted. I asked for the added flavors and i think they should be a bit more generous with them. Otherwise I highly recommend!

I could understand why this coffee shop wouldn’t be for everyone. However, after initial hesitation, I fit right in. Our barista was friendly & funny, I really loved her and her sense of humor . Seems like the whole staff is super chill.

Shop is nice & unique but at the same time off-putting . Their is a lot of space and tables to eat at which I liked. I also appreciated the bookshelf they had, and the many local art paintings.

Ordered the caramel iced latte I was suggested and I’m so glad I did, it was delicious and actually comparable if not better than other caramel iced lattes I’ve had. I really enjoyed it. Their bakery items are also delicious . I ate the chocolate pb cookie & the white chocolate rasberry muffin.. both were yummy. The barista told me they always have new bakery items which is nice. My cousins also ordered a vegan bacon egg sandwhich and it was pretty good and flavorful.

Would I come back? Yes.

P.S many vegan & vegetarian options. Also, open mic every Thursday 7-9pm.

Great Find! We enjoyed the vibe very much. Excellent vegan and gluten free options served up extremely fresh and the coffee was amazing! We had the vegan Cafe con Leche with oat milk and condensed coconut milk OMG! Serena is very friendly and so hospitable, made us feel right at home the minute we walked in. LOVED it here and will definitely be back soon!
