Shortwave Coffee

Nice little spot to grab some coffee. Really spacious with plenty of seating. Stopped for an iced mocha latte after visiting the aquarium. Didn't have to wait long at all and was very good. They had a more than decent tea selection too. The location is a lot bigger than you'd expect, and plenty of people were there with their laptops. A few tables right outside as well if the weather is nice. Would stop in again if I'm in the area. The only thing that drives me crazy about the Channelside area is that they always charge for parking. Not the locale's fault, but makes it kind of inconvenient.

After exploring Tampa Bay’s Aquarium and the SS American Victory WWII cargo ship, I just needed a great quality beverage and noticed the slick looking Coffee house, Shortwave Coffee. I also saw there were several comfortable chairs with desks & power outlets. So this became a no brainer that drew me in to the restaurant to get a fresh drink, relax and recharge my cell phone.

I got the mango/ banana smoothie and it brilliantly matched what my appetite wanted. It was rich, thick and cold. Perfect for a Tampa Bay hot day cool off.

The staff were friendly and prices were good for the quality of drinks they offer.

We stopped in after a long day at the Florida aquarium. The Mint Mayday caught my attention and decided to try a coffee drink that was out of the ordinary. We were all pleasantly surprised by the refreshing flavor the mint added to the cold brew coffee. I would definitely order this again.Smoothies.

The kids in the group had great things to say about their smoothie. So thumbs up from everyone in the group.

Love it! They have decaf espresso, which is a must for me. I got the lavender latte and the honey chai tea cake. Both were excellent. My husband got the caramel latte and like that too. It’s nice and spacious, clean and the baristas are very friendly.

A great new addition to Channelside. I got a hot decaf latte and my fiancé tried the cold brew. Bit pricey but standard for the area and worth it for the quality of the drinks. I also loved the custom mugs/glasses and the bright atmosphere.

Great coffee spot by Sparkman Wharf with lots of tables, outlets, and strong wifi. Nice and spacious, not too crowded and with lots of light.

Amazing coffee so good ! Very bold and delicious. The atmosphere is beautiful. Nice and spacious! I got the Carmel latte with oat milk .

It's open, sleek, and modern. There's lots of natural sunlight. There are plants and flower arrangements throughout the shop. What's not to love about this newest coffee shop on Channelside at Sparkman Wharf?

I was greeted right away even though they were busy with other orders. There were some beautifully presented honey chai tea cakes at the counter with other pastries. I have to try that next time. This visit was for coffee, and they have an extensive menu full of various flavors. I chose one of their signature iced drinks called Mint Mayday. It was surprisingly delicious & refreshing for coffee. It must have been the fresh muddled mint leaves. It was all natural mint blended with their cold brew coffee. More of a mint taste than a coffee taste which is what I was going for. Absolutely everything that I wanted and more. I did try my friends peppermint coffee which had such a fresh roasted taste. Definitely not bitter or burnt tasting. It kind of made me want to order more but I resisted.

I'd make a special trip and pay for parking just to revisit this coffee shop. It's totally worth it. It's also within walking distance from the cruise port and the Florida Aquarium. It's definitely a great find and deserves many revisits.

Brand new coffee shop right by sparkman wharf. Great ambience. I ordered a matcha latte with almond milk and it’s one of the best matcha lattes I’ve had especially in the Tampa area. Was super busy when I went but understandable since it’s brand new.

Such a cute coffee shop! Loved their lattes! Their decor is on point and the space is beautiful!! A must-try for sure.
