Would definitely have to come back another time but earlier to really enjoy this place! Loved how in the bathroom they make it accessible with these menstrual products! You have no idea how inconvenient it is at times and to have it be provided and easy assess is French kiss moment right here ❤️
Excellent coffee, tea and food! Definitely stop by and support this local joint.
After making my rounds through the coffee purveyors of the Tampa Bay area for nearly 20 years, I'm done. I've made my decision. The Lab gets the crown. This unassuming, easy to miss location puts out the absolute highest quality product in a few distinct areas that are near and dear to my heart: #1 - Dirty Chai Latte - This is always my beverage of choice, but nobody does it half as well as the Lab. I visited twice this week and there was no difference in the absolute deliciousness I got in this drink. Not just in Tampa, but probably the best dirty chai I've had in my travels around America. #2 - Espresso - In some ways this is a hard one to screw up, but at the Lab it's just a little bit better. They typically have at least a couple different varieties available, and the waitstaff is knowledgeable about the nuances in each. #3 - Food - The selections here are not very extensive (and I'd love to see the breakfast flatbread back on the menu!) but what they do, they do with precision quality and in just the right sized helping for my taste. In terms of ambiance, this is an urban adjacent hideout with a low key industrial feel. There are cozier places in the city, but in my opinion they don't hold a candle to the quality level here.
Visited 4/27/23 and was really happy with the place. The staff was friendly and the vibe is spot on. The coffee was really great- I will definitely be returning.
I’m in love with this place. The vibes are top tier, sometimes a little emo, so top tier. And their coffee is always perfect. It’s perfect coffee - I don’t know what else to say. It’s perfect hot or iced. I compare every coffee I drink to The Lab. The Greek flatbread - so good. I probably shouldn’t eat it as often as I do but I actually don’t care I live for that breakfast pizza. It has tater tots on it and lil egg squares and feta cheese and the drizzle 😮💨 I have a special place in my budget for this spot.
This place is incredible! They are very quick and super nice. They accommodated and we’re able to make me a decaf drink. You should definitely go and have breakfast!
Food was amazing it was called something hangover All homemade and the eggs are actually real eggs not those watery eggs or frozen eggs everyone be giving you And there dirty chai latte

What a dope coffee shop, I’m from out of town and I drove by this place and had to try it. I’m so glad I did! Staff was awesome, environment was awesome, and food/coffee was awesome! Overall just awesome!
Cute coffee shop in the neighborhood, so glad we finally stopped in. Ordered a chai latte, iced pour over, bagel sandwich and the hangover cure flatbread (pictured). Everything was delicious! The flatbread was huge, only half is pictured and they make their dough for it in-house. The baristas were so nice and helpful when we had questions about the menu. Lots of good indoor seating for anybody looking for a spot to work or hang and they have a cute outdoor patio with umbrellas and plenty of sun or shade. Highly recommend stopping in for a visit!
Great coffee and the food is amazing!
Like a warm embrace from a friend you’ve missed for too long, the aroma of roasting coffee beans greets you as you exit your vehicle in the parking lot. Hidden away behind rising new construction and industrial warehouses sits a neighborhood gem. A secret amongst those who quietly pass by those chain purveyors and corporate roasters in search of coffee worthy to come from a place with a name like The Lab.
Every time I come to this place I am always greeted with a pleasant vibe from the entire staff (major shout out to Michael and Scott... no correlation to the office lol). The location is quaint and cute, and definitely gives a grunge quaint cafe vibe. Love this place!
I had a mocha latte that was out of this world!! So good. Wish I lived in Tampa just for this place!! The staff seems to love their jobs, which makes the customer service wonderful as well.
I had an amazing latte, it's a great local business. They are also very nice.
An excellent shop and roaster. Genuine and talented people roasting and serving awesome coffee and food too!! 100% recommend!
Very cute, small cafe and roastery. Everyone I talked to was super friendly even though the 2 baristas were pretty busy. Not a lot of parking but it wasn't too bad Their drip is excellent and tastes almost like chocolate. Didn't get their food but it looked really good and I'll try it next time.
Attention Australians visiting Tampa! Highly recommend this place. My flat white was delicious and the barista was absolutely lovely. We will definitely come back for the duration of our stay.
