The owners or responders to the comments are always backhanded and rude. As a "ma and pa" shop you'd think that they would want to be kind and inviting to customers, but it seems like they're all trained to tell people their taste buds are wrong or not to complain on google, but that's a reason why its here- so other people can get an honest and transparent review of the place. if you want to build a good customer relationship, why not respond in a more inviting an apologetic way? Personally will never be visiting here again, it was lackluster at best.

Cozy, eclectic coffee shop. We stopped here instead of choosing a franchise coffee shop due to the reviews. Tried out the honey bear coffee that has the right amount of sweetness to it, just to speak about the toast, great bread really fresh, but if you want the cuban made version with extra butter, this is a lighter toast. Just ask for a little more. Great service!!!

I ordered an iced mocha latte with oat milk. The coffee was delicious, but I gave them 4 stars because there’s not enough parking in the front and charged a $1.50 for oat milk which is very expensive from other coffee houses in Tampa that have charged me 80 cents. I only get oat milk because of allergies.

I’m not one to write reviews, also I Iike to support small businesses. I was really excited to try this spot, especially after reading the reviews and menu online. Sadly me and my partner were disappointed to say the least. They mixed up our coffee orders but fixed it (no worries it happens). We also ordered a croissant sandwich and an early bird. The early bird had 2 paper thin slices of deli Turkey and 1 slice of cheese… and the Turkey croissant had the same amount!! I wish I took a picture for this review. It was hardly any food. Starbucks is a better value on the food, and since there was no nutritional value to mostly bread we did end up each getting a sandwich there right afterwards which is really sad after we spent $30 for 2 “sandwiches” and 1 small and 1 large beverage. I will never go back. I have never had an food experience that warranted going to another place afterwards. I would say this maybe is a great spot for coffee (my judgement is clouded by my experience as whole) but a no go for food.

Lots of drink and food options. The seating inside is typically pretty tight and filled up, but they have additional seating outside. There is a small shopping area with jewelery, tshirts, and a few other items that you can look through while waiting in line.

I love coming to this place. I’m not from Florida but I’ve been here for the last four years while attending usf and this place reminds me of my home town (Austin, Tx) so much. The coffee is amazing, they roast their product themselves, and also make great little sandwhiches and snacks. It can get really busy some come early or on a week day, but it’s a nice place to study or just meet up with some friends!

What a lovely coffeehouse. The staff was very nice and the coffee was even better. Will definitely stop back in when I'm back in Tampa to try some of their cold brew next time!

Don't order over the phone just warning everyone here! Coffee is okay here but beware of the service and management. I placed an order over the phone and was unaware there was an extra charge. The guy with the brown hair who I think is the owner took my order over the phone and did not tell me that there was an extra charge and I found it odd that he hung up without telling me the total. I questioned why I was charged extra and the other worker told me there is an extra charge when you place an order over the phone. I told the other worker I was unaware and wasn't told there was an extra charge in a non confrontational way. The guy jumps into the conversation and proceeds to reprimand me in an aggressive tone in front of the entire store. I tried to defend my self without escalating. He tells me "I should have asked the total" If you're going to charge anyones card you tell them the total. He is very rude, aggressive, confrontational and egotistical. This is not the first time I witnessed him doing this to customers, at the 42nd location I have seen him talking down to customers. On top of that I asked for a lightly sweetened latte and he gives me a very sweet latte. I didn't even want to go back to tell them to fix it because I felt so degraded. Used to visit your locations all the time but now I'm traumatized. Please learn basic respect for customers and empathy. Thank you. Disclaimer: Just looked at their website no where on the website does it say there is an extra charge for over the phone orders. As a common courtesy I should have been told or else how was I supposed to know. Honestly ridiculous to gaslight me into thinking it is my fault. Will not be returning!

Really loved the atmosphere. Felt like an unassuming cottage off of a very high traffic area. Tucked away so you didn’t hear any noise from the street. The staff was friendly and I liked that they had outdoor seating. There was a small boutique and a small seating area inside with nice decor. Rather bohemian. Who doesn’t love a little crunch though? Would frequent this place if I was local. Breakfast sandwich was pretty par for the course: egg and cheese on a croissant. Hard to complain about unless you don’t like crumbs, but I’m not a complete psycho and I know what to anticipate with a fresh croissant. My only critique is that I wished my “teacher’s pet” drink had more of a peanut butter kick. It was mocha with peanut butter. Only had a hint.

It's an adorable local hang spot. It's just.. kinda dirty? Run down? It's like hanging out at a really artsy aunt's house where you feel good being there but you're not sure why.

My absolute favorite cafe around USF! This place is a hidden gem. You can study there, play games, sip on your coffee indoors or outdoors. Along with that, you can even display or buy art! Beautiful art is on display by local artists, such an amazing way of showing support! Whenever someone is here to visit me in Tampa, I always take them to Felicitous at least once!! Love this place..must visit! Also, just a bias..I love the 51st location more than the 42nd one even though that’s a bigger spot!

This place deserves 6 stars!!! Legitimately the best espresso drinks, matcha, and vibes in Tampa. I’m obsessed with their Dreamcatcher latte (vanilla and lavender). The portions are huge, and they have so many creative, delectable sounding drinks I can’t wait to try. I will come here on the weekends and spend upwards of 5-6 hours doing homework, and buying drinks and snacks. One of my favorite coffee shops ever.

Inside is a crowded room with old furniture, but this is fine for students. However, the tables outside are surrounded by dead plants and dirt ground which was probable grass at one point. Not a nice place to have a meal or even coffee outside. Perhaps college students don't care sitting at an abandon lot like place.

A nice off the beaten path shop for coffee and vegan food.
