The Lab Coffee - West Tampa

Cool little spot that looks popular with the locals. Single origin cold brew was great as was the SE&C bagel sandwich. Will definitely be back.

Cool place with relaxed chill vibe. Friendly greeting when you enter. Paul is great barista, helpful for the novice home brewer, friendly and efficient. Beans are roasted in house.

With flavorful smoke from their coffee roaster often billowing out of the pipe through the roof you can sometimes taste the coffee before you even go inside. This is my favorite cup of coffee in Tampa. It’s rich, slightly bitter like the chocolate my mom used to bake with. The interior is casual and there are a few places to sit with your laptop. Not super comfortable. I usually take my coffee to go. The Cuban toast is done right. They have breakfast sandwiches and other pastries but I have not tried those.

I really like this place. The coffee is unique tasting and tasty. They have these tart shaped organic muffins. Also good. And a decent small selection of food. Reasonably priced. Initially it didn't impress me. With its minimalist interior I thought it would be another mediocre coffee shop. When I got my filter coffee it was served in a small coffee pot with a glass rather than a mug. That could be either pretentious or a good sign. The coffee itself had a dark watery appearance. Like a darker roast with too much water added. For me the traditional filter coffee taste when it's well made is best. This did not have that. It was more bitter and watery tasting. Which turned out too be good, not bad. It had a really good overall flavor balance. It was unique tasting which was an added bonus. It was clear the place prides itself on making good coffee and has mad skills for it. Truely a rare find. Once I started enjoying the coffee the experience of the whole place clicked for me. The friendly staff, the just right background music, etc. Might be the best coffee shop in greater Tampa.

The best cortado in Tampa. If you are not sure which coffee to choose ask for a flight. They always have fresh roasted beans each week.

Flat white was excellent! Service also excellent. Also got an Egg Bacon Gouda sandwich. Well made, but bland. Suggestions: seasonings and maybe some greens would elevated it to perfection.

Excellent coffee, tea and food! Definitely stop by and support this local joint.

A hidden gem. I love the coffee here. It's worth the stop because of how delicious it is. I think IMO the best I've had so far. Food was delish 😋 I love the muffins they taste homemade!

Real nice service ! Will come back for that, before I come back for the cold brew and food options. Cool spot, but coffee was popping as I expected from the reviews.

The best people, best food and best coffee. If you wanna hang and work on your laptop or just catch up with a friend this is the perfect place. Everyone is so friendly and everything is delicious!
