Walking into Grassroots Kava House near Ybor City felt like I had wandered into a softer, cooler…read moreversion of Tampa that quietly borrowed its personality from California. There was a strong hippie yoga undertone in the air, the kind of place where people seem grounded, creative, and totally fine taking their time. It reminded me a little of Joshua Tree, and I mean that as a compliment. What I loved is that our whole group could order completely different things and everyone was happy. One friend went for kava. Another needed a proper espresso. Someone chose a pour over because of course they did. And then there was me with the iced matcha, which you probably guessed before I even said it. It was actually very good, but the real win was that it matched the mood of the place perfectly. There's a big bulletin board covered with event flyers, and you can tell this café is more than just drinks. A lot of the events lean spiritual or community focused, mixed in with other creative gatherings. It feels like a space where meditation circles, deep conversations, and random interesting meetups just naturally happen. At one point an orange cat wandered in and casually made its way around the café like this was a normal Tuesday. Friendly, confident, clearly someone's pet, but whose is still a mystery. No one seemed bothered. If anything, it just added to the charm. The drinks were good, but the vibe is what makes this place memorable. It's comforting, open, a little eclectic, and just cool in an effortless way. If you are even slightly free spirited or just want a laid back place that is not centered around alcohol, this is your spot. And honestly, if you are in Ybor, get off the strip for a minute... It's so much better.

Grassroots locs are some of the very best for a productive, comfortable work environment outside of the music being a tad loud. Great seating options, lots of space, nice natural light, and always a good crowd inside. The kavatender was super friendly. I love getting their housemade blueberry syrup in my coffee. All the fruit syrups are made in house, apparently!

This chill and charming coffee spot is waiting for you (in a vintage brick building called "the bunker." The effortlessly cool barista greeted me with this laid back warmth and mellow morning energy. She gave me good ideas on both drinks and food, since this was my first visit-and supported my choices. I love that! Life kicks us around outside these doors. But inside Ybor City Coffee and Tea, it's easygoing and zen. I could have settled in with my matcha with lavender for a good long stay... but it's an errands day. I couldn't linger and enjoy the artwork or all the comfy seating area (tables, couches and a high counter with stools inside and patio seating outside) this time. But I'll be back! The chai tea and a carmel apple pastry is calling. Add to all of this: this one hour street parking for just 50 cents right out front and I AM A FAN! I'll see you soon, Ybor City Coffee and Tea.

I love that they have premade recipes so you don't have to make up your own bagel and mannnnn do they hit! I've had 3 different sandwiches now from them because I can't stop going back and they've all been stellar. Two amazing things to highlight that sets Pete's apart. 1. They offer a punch card! idk about y'all but I LOVE A PUNCH CARD! 2. There is a dog park attached to the patio so even if you don't bring your pup with you, there is plenty of cutie pie entertainment while you eat. Not only are the bagels incredible, but the matcha is bangin! My wife and I always get the lavender matcha and it has never missed. For the best experience, I'd recommend to go early and to sit outside. Because the line gets long, it's gets a bit cumbersome to eat inside PLUSSSS not only do you get pup entertainment but since they're in Ybor, you get free chicken entertainment. Who doesn't love a good nature scene when eating the best bagel you've ever had. One last great thing about Pete's is that they have bike parking and plenty of it. Makes for a lovely Sunday morning ride to brunch!

(La Segunda Bakery) Everything we tried was incredible! The sandwiches are huge, loaded with flavor, and made on their famous fresh Cuban bread. The empanadas were perfectly seasoned and packed with delicious fillings. And don't even get me started on the pastries, they're fresh, flaky, and absolutely amazing. The best part? The prices are incredibly reasonable, especially for the quality and generous portions you receive. Whether you're grabbing breakfast, lunch, or just satisfying a sweet tooth, La Segunda is a must-visit. We'll definitely be back!

They do not have matcha. 3. They do not have food. These days coffee makes my body feel weirddddd so I was a bit staggered when I walked in and realized those 3 things since I was here with a bike group and I really needed some food. I considered having coffee anyway but without food and being on a 15+ mile bike ride, I wasn't trying to have a medical episode so I decided to try their chai tea latte. It was truly delicious!! It got me home and able to eat so thank god for that! Some of the rest of my party got the herbal tea and the way it was served was super cool. It had me intrigued. But if you like coffee, everyone said it was delicious. The fact that they have a latte on draft is pretty amazing as well. I loved the location because it's kind of ducked off in the corner which is why I had never been there before. But above all else, the amount of pups here were enough to make me return time and time again. I met the cutest greyhounds which are my fav so my soul was happy.
