Cafe Hey

Went here for the first time a few days ago for brunch with a friend and have been back each day since! Its proximity to the University of Tampa makes it great so that when college kids get sick of campus food, they can come here and expect high quality breakfast and coffee, and at an extremely affordable price. This is one of the few local coffee shops in Tampa that don't charge an arm and a leg for a tiny coffee - portions here are great for the price! I've had the breakfast burrito, avocado toast, and Cuban toast and they have all been amazing. As for coffee, I've tried 2 lattes (my favorite is the Gorilla Hug) and the vietnamese iced coffee, which I think is my favorite coffee there overall.

Love this Tampa Heights cafe. Great service delicious food and just a real laid-back atmosphere

I absolutely love this place. Whenever my husband and I are in town we go there for their breakfast. Their vegan breakfast sandwich is AMAZING, the food is always hot and fresh & the staff is really friendly as well. I also recommend trying their vegan peanut butter & choc chip cookies! Such an artsy and lowkey spot. You won't be disappointed.

Food took over an hour and staff was very rude and inattentive. Doesn’t look like the cleanliness place but was visiting the area so I settled for this place. Wouldn’t eat here again and actually had to request a refund which was a true hassle. I like trying new things but due to the shorter lady handling the front attitude I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. The food doesn’t seem so “vegan” anyway being that they used real cheese on my burrito. Long story short eat somewhere else!

Thanks for offering vegan options at a fair price.

We've been twice now and the staff is always welcoming and friendly. The atmosphere is cozy and relaxing as well, with different local artist's work regularly rotating on the walls. I've gotten the A to Z sandwich each time and it's been amazing! A great little place to stop by in Tampa Heights. Will definitely be visiting often.

I love the local art scene they seem to support, and their chai latte and coffee are very nice! Very friendly staff as well, and just cool ambiance inside in general. Of COURSE, like every coffee shop in Tampa, they close way too early: 4 PM. The last time I went, I ordered a spicy latte and there was really almost 0 spice in it.

I wasn't sure of how to rate Cafe Hey anymore and it's sad because they would have 10 stars had things not changed.

My kids, husband, mom and I STILL crave their crispy salad, fresh cuban bread, vegan mayo and my goodness one of the young ladies created this vegan cold pasta that was to die for with a press ham & cheese (I'm a meat eater but but good vegan food trumps meat).

The sudden change is the reason for a 3 rating instead of 5. Before the closure we received romaine not iceberg, the vegetables were so fresh one would assume they woke early to visit a farm before preparing for the day...the pasta wasn't the same and the meat on the sandwiches is of a lesser quality. We ate there almost twice a week....at least once and that's no exaggeration. After they closed for a while and reopened, things weren't the same. I wish they had not changed, there was no restaurant better in the downtown area.

I SHOULD ADD THAT I HAVE NOT RETURNED AFTER A FEW VISITS AFTER REOPENING.....I would say give it a try if things went back as they were you will LOVE IT. If not, you will say that it's good but not worth the hype.

The vegan breakfast sandwich is awesome!

They have some awesome vegan dishes. Cool place, laid back atmosphere while enjoying a local beer. The “not just for omnivores” brunch is all vegan a must go to. Get there early because there's is usually a line.
