Stopped by to check out the vegan options. Their coffees and stuff are great! I had an iced vegan coffee drink with oat milk and it was really good. I liked the pressed breakfast sandwich. The tofu scramble is ok. I would definitely go back if I was in the area. I bought a cookie too and it crumbled to pieces and powder and it was ok.
The vegan breakfast sandwich is awesome!
This place is one of the best vegan friendly breakfast and coffee spots in downtown Tampa. If you’re looking for a coffee spot that has a ton of flavor options - this is the spot. And they have GOOD coffee - it’s rich and creamy coffee that you can pair with a variety of flavors. They once had an ube latte that was so good. Their breakfast is pretty good too. My boyfriend is vegan, and we typically like to get breakfast together in the weekends, but I struggle to find places that have both good coffee and good breakfast with options for my boyfriend. Usually, you sacrifice on coffee for a decently priced breakfast spot with variety. For example - Daily Eats offers tons of breakfast options with some vegan options for Kev, but their coffee is ****. Cafe Hey, however delivers on both. Although they don’t have much variety on their daily breakfast menu, the do offer Sunday brunch specials occasionally to shake things up. And their daily breakfast menu has just enough variety to keep you coming back because you have enough options to try something different each time. They also deliver on coffee. I have a rating scale I use to compare every coffee shop in Hyde park/ downtown. The Lab coffee is a 10 and Blind Tiger is a 0. If you’re curious about this rationale I might leave a review on both these places explaining why lol. But Cafe Hey coffee is a solid 8.5 - The flavor options, creaminess, richness, and honestly I like the ice they use for their iced coffee. It’s crushed ice and I respect that. The only reason it’s not a 10 is because I’m not that fond of their hot coffee. It’s just not as great as it is iced. 🤷🏻♀️ So yeah, if you’re looking for an fun iced coffee and breakfast sandwich go to a Cafe Hey. Every time I come here I wonder why I don’t come here that often (it’s because I have to drive into DT Tampa - that’s the reason lol).
Thanks for offering vegan options at a fair price.
We did a quick visit to Tampa with family members who aren’t vegan like we are. We chose Cafe Hey for breakfast because they have both vegan and non vegan options. Everyone absolutely enjoyed their food. The coffee was amazing and the staff was super nice and accommodating. We would absolutely be back when in the area.
Love this place. Staff is amazing Very sweet girl name Faith was our barista and coffee was perfect..Very comfortable casual atmosphere. Great food. Very amazing desserts.
Friendly, greeted at door, great vegan sandwich, tea, nice atmosphere, a variety of seating options, and great customer service.
The worst Vietnamese coffee ever. Taste like very bad water. If you had Vietnamese coffee here, please know that it does not and should not taste like this. I also ordered a warm cappuccino. It was awful too. Tasted like warm whole milk, with no coffee. Idk how this place has good reviews. Edu disappointed because I went there because of the reviews.
Ended up having a 5 hour delay for my Greyhound bus and spent it there, having both an iced coffee and a Cuban banh mi. Overall, it was a great place to hang and the food and coffee was really nice. The staff were also very nice and commiserated with me about the delay...
Cafe Hey was in my list from a long time to have coffee from. On Sunday morning, we were looking for a place to have coffee and quick bite so we decided to visit Cafe Hey. Cafe Hey is about 20 minutes from our place and there is ample of parking spaces available near Cafe Hey. When we entered the cafe we saw that cafe was decorated with paintings from local artists, they also have a section of books and one can also read tampa bay times newspaper in the cafe while waiting for order. We directly went to order our coffee and quick bite. After browsing through the menu we decided to order Vietnamese Iced Coffee, Hot Latte with OatMilk, and for quick bite with coffee we ordered T'ank and Avocado Toast. After ordering we took our seats in the cafe. We soon got our coffee which was Vietnamese Coffee and Hot Latte with Oat Milk. The coffee was delicious and it was freshly brewed. We loved our coffees. We had to wait for few minutes before we got our food. T'ank and avocado toast was delicious made with cuban bread. The food was hot and bread was crispy and freshly made. We loved our food too. Amazing cafe with delicious coffee and food.
Really great find. Food was fresh and delicious. People were friendly. I had the breakfast sandwich and it was great. I'll be back for sure.
Great vibes and lots of vegan options. 😊 you can tell they really put care into what they serve
Great food, I enjoyed the breakfast sandwiches and the coffee was good. Reason for the one less star is because the coffee didn’t have strong flavor like I wanted. I asked for the added flavors and i think they should be a bit more generous with them. Otherwise I highly recommend!
Absolutely loved the vegan cafe con leche and VLT sandwich!! I’ll definitely be back
Was in Tampa for a weekend and went back here twice because their vegan options were so good! Highly recommend getting the Cafe con leche. Delicious. They don't have anything like that where i live and it was amazing
Food was decent but it was the bad customer service that put a bad taste in my Mouth. I went twice. Both times I was polite and super courteous to the person that helped me but I didnt get the same in return. No good morning, no thank you or anything. I ordered in advance for pick up…the person helping me had my food in their hand and was holding it front of me. I went to reach for the food and the person gave me the total but then withdrew their hands with the food in it lol like I was going to grab the food and run without paying. The person maintained a tight grip on the food until my card was approved. The food was handed to me, I said thank you and got no response. Maybe they didnt hear me? So I said HAVE A GOOD ONE! and still didnt get a response…someone from the kitchen had to yell it back “thank you!” Idk. Person at the register was just off putting BOTH times and nobody wants food with a side of bad vibes 👎🏾
I love Cafe Hey! I go once a week with a group of coworkers right when they open and usually recommend it for quick lunch. The staff is always friendly and accommodating. I love the Vietnamese iced coffee, festival turkey sandwich, and cuban toast.
I went in for lunch and the sandwich was delicious. The bread rolls they use are scrummy as well. Chai latte is not the best there though.
Eggs potatoes were bland nothing special really. Toast was good. I also order a sandwich egg bacon mayo 🍅. That was good me and my wife enjoyed it. I'll be going back to see what else they got.
Regular coffee was no good. Their Vietnamese coffee bland and not sweet. My gf is Viet and agreed. Sorry to leave a review like this but no good 🤷🏻♂️. $10 two coffees. The espresso shot on the side was good!
