Ginger Beard Coffee

My girlfriend and I just went in yesterday and we were blown away. As soon as we walked in we were greeted with a warm welcome. It was our first time at Ginger Beard's and we didn't know what to expect.
We had our laptops with us and weren't sure how accommodating this coffee shop would be. The locals right away noticed us looking for outlets and immediately showed us around the shop to where we could connect.
We ordered two lattes on tap-- one peanut butter, one peppermint-- and we were so happy with our choice. Usually, coffee on tap is dangerously caffeinated; I'm talking, can't drive on the highway anxiety-type caffeine levels but these lattes were not like that at all. Josh, the friendly guy behind the bar was able to explain exactly how much caffeine was in a serving, and explain the difference between their tap lattes and a standard nitro brew. The lattes were delicious and the perfect amount of caffeine. Finally, I can get the taste of a nitro brew without the heart palpitations haha.
Music was great, and we actually started up conversations with four different people we had never met before; how often does this happen these days? Such a good community feel at this coffee shop. Josh behind the bar was super charismatic and made sure every person in the shop was taken care of and having a good time. He also had great food recommendations which we took him up on.
Want local? Want community? Want great coffee with great conversations? Yup, this is your spot.

Great coffee shop the coffee was awesome and the service was very friendly!

I went in and did NOT know what to expect. I had no idea what to order and the gentleman up front was able to talk to me about what I like and what I would like, as well as offered to have me try a few of the cold brews before I committed to my order! (Their PB cold brew is amazing!) The inside is super spacious and definitely has lots of seating if youre there for a quick coffee break, or youre looking for a place to work in the community. Brought my sister here and we're both hooked now!

It was a wonderful place to get some coffee and tea. Service was great and had a warm atmosphere. Would definitely return on our next trip to Tampa.

Cool coffee and apparently brewery in the Channel Side district of Tampa. The staff was really friendly and the coffee was good. Seems like a cool spot to enjoy a rainy weekend morning with friends, probably not not a place to work and/or read.

My teeth are buzzing! This is the BEST Nitro Cold Brew I have ever had. Served up by what I assume is one of the owners (judging by the epic ginger beard). Excellent service! Even had a short conversation, asked how my day was, and where I was from. Explained the cold brews, and even inquired about any caffeine sensitivity. Super friendly service, and hands down the best (strongest) cold brew I have ever had. If you find yourself exploring Tampa, be sure to check out this gem.

Best dirty chai out there. Started coming to the gym across the street about a year ago and stopped in with some buddies ordered a dirty chai. It’s hands down the best one I’ve had to date. Not to mention the awesome staff, couple guys that are incredibly down to earth with some killer beards. My favorite coffee spot in Tampa, 3 years in💪🏾

There I was: a tourist looking for an "energetic" breakfast before my 9am bike tour. Succulent "dirty" (expresso shot) chai latte and kashi cereal and milk at 8am on a Sunday to the rescue! Josh, Derek and friends were friendly, witty and went above the call of duty with tips and aid - one of the best experiences I've had in 3 decades of traveling the world. Extensive selection with sincere cheerfulness and willingness to accommodate. I understand that the brewery is new - must go back to try it! Could easily spend a relaxing day with friends - from coffee/tea/cereal to brewskies!

Came here on a friend's suggestion and he couldn't have been more right about this place--excellent atmosphere, spacious seating, fantastic location, and GREAT coffee. I started with a peanut butter nitro cold brew, added some cinnamon? Just right! Then I went in for the chai latte. And that was a MISTAKE. That incredible beverage went down WAY too quickly. It was the perfect temperature and SO delicious. The cold brew was the entree, the chai latte was dessert. Fantastic customer service with, YOU GUESSED IT, a ginger-bearded barista. I'm guessing he's Joseph, as he was umpteen feet tall. Super-great guy, knowledgeable, kind without being "much." I really appreciate that. Don't come at me with your extra before I've had coffee, please. And he did NOT. Love this joint. Truly. Highly recommended.

Best Chai I’ve had in my life. I got it with oat milk. Downed it instantly. Thought about coming back for seconds a few hours later but they were closed then. I already can’t wait to be back!
