The Blind Tiger Cafe - SOHO - South Howard - Coffee Shop

My husband and I stopped here when we were on a date in the area. We had never heard of this spot, but were looking for something other than sbux... Something local and unique. This was it! I'm so glad we made the stop in! The atmosphere is so relaxing and cool and most importantly, the coffee was awesome! I had a café con leche and it was absolutely delicious. I'd go back for sure. I've of the owners, Chris, took the time to answer am of questions and was just great overall. Very genuine and kind. Loved it!

This by far one of the best coffee shops in South Tampa. The crew here are awesome, and help out with the local Spoken Word scene as well as being artists themselves. Every third Tuesday of the month they have an Open Mic Night for all who want to come out and test their skills on the microphone.

Most recently ordered a beverage that was supposed to be iced, they served it hot. No worries, make another. Well it wasn't the correct size, so she pours it into a larger cup and just adds milk right in front of my face.......c'mon. Just be better than that in the service industry. Just be better...

It's a great spot in a great location. Prices have gone up slightly since they opened so it's definitely the most expensive coffee around. The more I keep coming back though, the more and more and I don't want to keep coming. My visits have been less frequent due to pricing, there are just less expensive options for either equal or better coffee. Such as Caffeine Roasters, Kahwa Coffee or Buddy Brew. Only positive is they have the rewards program of every 8th coffee free.

My go to spot in Tampa, SOHO location has been the only one I've gone to, never regret it and ALWAYS getting my Iced Caramel Latte. Always friendly Baristas, every time I've come in.

Lots of small bites, good coffee & plenty of power for working outside of the house.
Only beef is they craft your sweeteners, ice, etc which I like to do & parking can be tricky.

Breakfast sandwich is fresh frozen. Placed my egg and cheese on a cardboard box among a bunch of clutter in kitchen window. Coffee costs more in a smaller cup than most. 3$ for a small. Croissant is much bigger than the prepared cube of egg and cheese. Tub full of dirty dishes on top of garbage. Expected better quality establishment. Help was friendly.

Pros: Peaceful study or chatting environment, nice music, friendly staff, good drinks

Cons: Baristas stare you down while entering a tip! The drinks are quite pricey to begin with and other folks in that go here have echoed this sentiment. I’m happy to tip when I don’t feel pressured into doing so.

The two young lady at the cashier serving breakfast very Untidy. Touching the cup in front of where y you place your lips on. I requested for a different Cup then they're both upset. I had to walk out of there. Hope they learn. And correct it 👌.

Came here for breakfast and it was a bit of a letdown for the price. The breakfast sandwich had only one egg on each half and was mostly spinach and bread. Got a 16 ounce cafe con leche for $5 that was mostly leche and hardly any cafe. My wife got a chai tea latte that was similarly weak

I'd give one additional star for better coffee/tea, another for better food, and a third for lower prices (maybe a dollar or two off the sandwich and a 50 cents to a dollar off the coffee). As of now though, I'd definitely recommend Kahwa Coffee over this place.

Coffee is delicious.
—when the barista tells you to put the mask over your nose, but the cook has her mask completely under her chin. Haha. Nothing makes sense.

(I guess the virus can penetrate the plastic barrier against the cashier as well as the barista’s mask.)
