HotWax Coffee Shop, Kava Bar & Tap House

Checking out all the Kava stops and just wanted to leave a review to help those wondering…Go in and check it out! You won’t be disappointed! The atmosphere is so relaxed and fun. The staff is friendly and helpful. We love it and will be back!
We had Kass wait on us at the bar-experience was awesome ! 10/10!

Truly an experience to be had! The perfect spot for a break from the busy street and the heat of the summers embrace. Immediately my artistic eye could see this wasn’t just an establishment it was someone’s passion. New art pieces on the wall highlighted perfectly with classic lights. Brining a balance between something old, something new and something true. The menu has just right amount of items which keeps the flavors true to its name. What you order is exactly what you get. If you’re hot, need a break or just want a place to relax well this is the place for you! I look forward to coming again and again!

I enjoy stopping in for a cup of coffee occasionally. Good atmosphere, and really nice employees behind the bar.

Omg… who is this enchantress?!?! The one… they call… Miana???? And what about Martha???? Martha might be the nicest person I have ever met. Talk about **customer~service !!! Anywho… plenty of cheap & free parking nearby. The garage is a buck. Seriously. No excuses.

I absolutely love and recommend this place to anyone who's looking for a spot with a nice city vibe, with places to sit near the windows if you like to just sit and relax while you have a good coffee or tea while people walk by in the busy streets of Ybor city. I personally love this place to have a relaxing drink while I do my homework. they also have microphones and instruments for anyone to grab and sing at any time. You'll also find snacks at the bar and books and board games to play with your friends if you choose to come with a group.

I love this place, my go to when I visit ybor. Very nice atmosphere, great drinks, a lot of fun and a great place to hide and chill out when the party atmosphere gets a bit overwhelming in the rest of the neighborhood. They have live music which, while the performers are great, just isn't my thing, but it usually doesn't start til late into the evening.

My only disappointment was that the cold matcha latte is a bit powdery, but only when served cold which has been my experience in most places due to the nature of the drink. It's just difficult to make cold and have a good texture and flavor - and I'm satisfied enough that it has the perfect matcha flavor. The butterfly pea tea is also great!

I was out exploring Tampa and I found this gem.
The vibe and the energy of this place is super laid back, easy to relax in, the bartender was amazing and easy to talk to.
I got one of the kratom cold brews and it was really good!!!
I was told they were having live music tonight so guess whos going back, meee.
Definitely give this place a try.

Hot wax has a lot of choices of coffee and tea!
Bartender recommended for me lavender blueberry latter. It was so good 😊
Not too sweet with a lot of flavor

Place is a very cozy with couch)))

This place was really cute! The space was a lot larger than it looks from the outside. Our server was really nice and helpful and made us some delicious kratom cocktails!

Went for the first time Sunday Night with my older daughters for Kareoke! Neat place, Nice People and Alot of Fun!
