Takes foreverrrrr to order literally anything, even a bagel. And I feel bad because they are so nice but this is ridiculous. They get angry about Starbucks opening right down the street but I waited 40 min for a turkey and cheese croissant!!!!! I'm not joking. Management needs to do something about the cooking times of they are going to offer food and hire more employees. Ridiculous but so sweet. read more

Caffeine, the name tells it all...Its all about the sweet sirupy elixir! This place is really an example to anyone's standard. Their brewing methods they use are the aero press, V-69, Chemex, cold brew and of course regular drip and the star of all... espresso. I have tried all of their brews and with three of their baristas and also by their lovely manager. I tell you, they are right on point in every one of them. I've recently did a review of another local coffee in Tampa and I criticized their method and pricing. It's very refreshing to come back to the second coffee place I've tried since I stayed here, and do it with great pleasure. Their single espresso is a 1,50 and the double 2,50. Their price is half of their competitors and not because of its quality, but because is just at the right price. Caffeine is simply a classic, all you need to feel like in Napoli, Italy having a coffee is simply to ask for a single espresso, give it a sip, close your eyes for a moment and your are going to be transported immediately there. I have not asked but I'm quite sire they use the European standard ratio. The atmosphere is also very welcoming; small, intimate, inviting but at the same time with your own sense of space. I belive they use their space to its full potential. Not to mention how well trained their Barista team is, super friendly and informative. If you are a local this is your place to have your morning brew or come and catch up with some emails and work while enjoying the feel and their wonderful coffee. If you are like me, just passing by, then skip the museum and just come to Caffeine :)) read more

I am frequent traveler for work. New city, new neighborhood, and limited amount of time. In mornings I'd like some food, very light but more than a piece of bread. No oat milk here, which come on you're a trendy spot.. oat milk is a must. Overall nice vibes however I will keep searching. read more

Caffeine Roasters - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Hidden gem right on Cass Street, and sister branch to the larger Caffeine Roasters location in town. Easy to miss this spot (next to the yoga studio and bike shop) but many reasons why you shouldn't. Great selection of locally roasted coffee beans and gourmet syrups. Tons of non dairy milk options including soy, almond and oat (to name a few). They have unique syrup and drink options like an orange cold brew and blueberry syrup. My barista was Ryan, and he was nothing short of friendly, conversational, knowledgeable, and showing great precision and attention to detail with crafting a delicious latte. 100% will go back! read more

The atmosphere is really comfy and relaxing. A perfect place to catch up on emails or just kick back and enjoy! The barista was absolutely the sweetest The establishment was very clean. The only reason I am giving it 4 stars is because their coffee choice is really limited. They have a terrible selection...but I was desperate for caffeine and on a Sunday not much is open around this area. I'm not from this area so it was frustrating that I couldn't purchase an iced black tea..they have no selection for teas.. Definitely check it out! This is just my opinion...I'm more on the plain/basic side of the coffee spectrum. This is for coffee snobs that like foreign coffee/tea products. read more

Caffeine Roasters - Lovely sitting area - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Tampa, Florida

As soon as I walked in I was immediately greeted by a friendly barista. I order the orange cold brew and my parents ordered cappuccinos. We also got a croissant and a banana nut muffin. They use fresh orange in the cold brew and it compliments the coffee well. I do recommend it for someone who wants coffee but also something refreshing. I noticed that it comes with additional sugar so I will just ask for it unsweetened next time. My parents really enjoyed their cappuccinos and my mom loved the banana nut muffin. I would definitely recommend this coffee shop to friends. read more

I've tried this location and the Kennedy location multiple times and never had anything I liked. I've tried cold brew/lattes/drip/specialty drinks. Nothing has ever been good, and their service isn't great either! I'm not a fan and would rather go to any of the many quality shops in Tampa than this one. read more

I don't leave reviews very often, so leaving one now is saying a lot! I am new to Tampa and it's hard to find places that have a good vibe and feel safe here with COVID. Not only do I find that at Caffeine, but it's been wonderful meeting Camilla and Daniela! read more

The first thing I do in a new city is look for a local cafe serious about coffee. This little place hit the spot. It's pretty small, but I went at 8am on a Sunday morning and there were plenty of seats available for me to relax. The menu is also small but perfectly adequate. I ordered the Orange Cold Brew and was REALLY pleasantly surprised. It was full of whole orange segments (I was expecting something more subtle like some invisible orange essence). I will DEFINITELY be back to order this over the next few days while I'm in Tampa. read more

Caffeine Roasters - Orange Cold Brew with Almond Milk - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Tampa, Florida

This was a cute little coffee shop with a relaxed atmosphere. It was a mid-Sunday afternoon and it was somewhat busy, but tables were still available. It was my first time going here and my barista suggested the Aero Cappuccino since it was hot outside and I was in the mood for something cold and refreshing. It definitely hit the spot! The aero cappuccino is not like a Starbucks Frappuccino at all. It wasn't as sweet, but one could tell it had less ice and had more of an "airy/cloud" texture to it. It was delicious and something I would definitely order again on a hot summer day! Their menu had some very different ways of serving coffee, so it was intriguing enough to make me want to come back and try their other menu items. Service was very friendly and I didn't feel rushed at all. Instead of just presenting me with their new/specialty drinks, the barista asked me what my personal coffee preferences were - thumbs up for that! She got started on my drink right away and it was served quickly. read more

Caffeine Roasters - Aero cappuccino - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Tampa, Florida

I like this place. Simple design, friendly staff and an easy menu to navigate. I grabbed myself an iced latte because I ain't got time for hot drinks in this city. The coffee is strong, no need for a double espresso, in my opinion. The flavor is right on, and I only needed to add a tiny bit of the sugar water to shake off the bitterness. Needless to say, I'm satisfied and back on my feet after this post-burger jolt! read more

When we search up ice cream to eat when it's a hot day in Tampa this shop shows up and we we get there on top of the door the last words says "ice cream" low and behold we enter the shop and they say they do not serve ice cream here. Biggest lie I have ever seen when it comes to a cafe. read more

Have you seen the "Gentleman "Lobster" video in a coffee shop? This is the kind of cafe they are in, and it is everything. Small and cozy, Caffine is unassuming and charming. But they being it with their brewing methods. They ship thier coffee up from "Panther", which is a Miami based roaster. (check out thier location as well.) I had a cup of Costa Rica, which was amazing. the flavors of the coffee all come out, and the effect is awaking. I highly recommend just spending some time enjoying a book and sipping some slow brewed coffee. very relaxing! read more

Caffeine Roasters - Chilling on the learher couch - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Coffee is very flavorful and fresh. Friendly service. Comfortable seating to get a little work done while I drank my coffee.

Super cute, cozy, convenient, affordable coffee place in downtown Tampa. Set on their comfortable couch and had a coffee with a friend this morning and it was fabulous! The coffee was delicious and I was pleasantly surprised at the cost considering how high some of the prices are at these local coffee shops. Highly recommend this place! read more

My sister and I are in Tampa to leave on a cruise the day after Christmas, so we came into Tampa early. With being in Tampa on Christmas Day, not a lot of places were open. We stumbled upon this place and saw the door was wide open and taking orders. The coffee was delicious, food was absolutely amazing (can tell it was made fresh and not heated up!) and the staff was so nice! The employee behind the counter was working so hard on this holiday and was so kind and efficient. Would definitely return and recommend! Also, the coffee selection is like no other! Will allow you to get something you can't get from your regular Dunkin or Starbucks. read more

Looking for a unique coffeehouse located downtown with tons of charm? Caffeine is your place! On arrival the barista was warm and friendly and gave us a quick overview since we were first timers. We went with two of the most popular drinks: the orange cold brew and the aero cappuccino, both cold drinks since it was so hot outside. The orange cold brew is like nothing I have ever had, very refreshing and a fantastic balance of cold coffee and oranges. The aero was a creamy goodness made with condensed milk, delicious! We also enjoyed a blueberry muffin that was good, but the coffee is the star at this cafe :) Great experience and would make this my go to coffee place downtown. read more

The place was not open on Sunday morning even though yelp said it was Will have to try next time I'm in town

The drinks here are hand crafted and delicious. The inside decor is chic and unique... some pretty interesting coffee supplies can be found in this store. The only down side for me... the barista did not acknowledge us, or really even utter a word. Even when we were placing our drink order, he just pushed buttons and said the total... really the only words I heard him say. I would definitely recommend this place for a caffeinated beverage of your choice, just don't expect a warm welcome I guess ? read more

The coffee is pretty good I got the Carmel Delight with whole milk! I just needed sugar because I have a sweet tooth. I also got the NY Classic it was absolutely delicious. Every thing was good if you want a light breakfast. The music was nice and calm and mellow. I would recommend coming here again. read more

I was a weekly costumer of theirs. I loved it until today went back for lunch, the employee told me that it was a new manager and they couldn't change or add anything from their sandwiches. For months they always did it for me and I never cared that I had to pay extra , as I feel like if I have a special request it is normal to pay for it. Today she simply completely refused. They lost 4 costumers and I will never go back. It's ashame because it was a great place to go. read more

Perfect latte and Belgium waffles to order. Was a great little surprise!! Baristas were extremely polite and accommodating

Nice atmosphere; not too loud when people talk; love the graphics on the signage. It's a really cool place. They have multiple means of coffee prep: Chemex, V60, Aeropress, plus your stereotypical coffee shop means (espresso machine, etc.). I was recommended the Sparkling Coffee, and I really liked it! It's ginger ale with espresso. The barista (who was fantastic, by the way) said a lot of people don't like it (because it's carbonated coffee), but once he explained the make-up of it, I was completely prepared for what to expect. 10/10 would recommend :) read more

A friend introduced me to Caffeine about a year ago and as a local Tampa Heights business owner I was FLOORED that I had never known about them! Fantastic coffee 5 mins up the street? Where the hell had I been!? I first tried the orange cold brew. Why had I never thought to put oranges in my coffee? What was this sorcery? How was this literally the best coffee THING I had ever tasted? Other places have cold brew that is absolutely diesel. I know other people thrive on that kind of thing but my poor nervous system just cannot handle it. Caffeine's cold brew is so delicious but not diesel which means it can be enjoyed leisurely without fear! Even if it seems a little strange try the oranges- you can even request it without sugar which is still refreshing and a treat. read more

Ehh, my exact thoughts: the coffee was alright, the cardboard cups killed my vibe, and the lighting was not my friend ( for my fellow vloggers).... For real though; the place is super cute and the set up is intriguing and promising. But with so many coffee spots in town, the presentation is key and I was not impressed. There's nothing I hate more than sitting in a trendy coffee shop drinking my cappuccino out of a paper/ plastic/ cardboard cup. And this place is in downtown! I honestly expected better. My cappuccino wasn't anything special either. My friend had the cold Kenya brew and she liked it though. read more

I loved this small and quiet coffee shop. I went on a Saturday afternoon so parking was a bit tricky. There's a bar right across the street so a lot of the spots were taken. Nothing too bad though....there was convenient parking along the side street. When I walked in the first thing I saw was a large cold drip apparatus. It was so interesting! It looked like an old school science experiment. I really enjoyed the service. The two baristas made conversation and explained the options without sounding like little coffee know it alls. I appreciated that :). I sat in the small back area which was pretty private and perfect for conversation. I didn't feel bad about chatting with my friends while those at the front sitting area worked on their computers. Now the important part...the coffee. I had the Kenya cold drip. Delicious!! Bold and full of flavor. No burnt taste at all...crisp with a tiny hint of the perfect right of sour. Highly recommend it! read more

Really high quality coffee in downtown. Espresso was nicely balanced and had great body. Pour over options were awesome as well. Smaller size shop but nice for what it is. I was very impressed by the barista who was able to diffuse a situation with an acutely psychotic person who had found their way. He treated them with respect, listened to them, and ultimately they left the shop in a better place then they came in. read more

On a recent business trip, I made Caffeine Roasters a destination based solely on the fact that I had never had orange cold brew coffee before. The coffee was so deliciously smooth and well-balanced, and I dug the real orange segments in my cup. (Made it even more Insta-worthy. :p ) Friendly barista, reasonable prices and cozy atmosphere. Downside is the limited food options (only pastries at this location), but bonus points for being one of the only places in the area open on a Sunday morning. There were a few other intriguing options on the menu (sparkling coffee!?) -- wish I had a few more days in Tampa to try them out. Great local shop! read more

I went here once a while ago and remembered having an enjoyable experience, so I went back. Hor. ri. ble. Coffee was ooookkkk but i could hardly drink it and ignore the potent urine aroma throughout the whole place. The only reason I stayed was because A) I was already there and B) I needed wifi. Maybe they were just having an off day, but there's other good coffee in Tampa. read more

I really was just going to keep scrolling and be too lazy to leave a review but after reading the unbelievably entitled review from a couple months ago complaining about the lighting not being good for vlogging...............I had to say something. Caffeine is great! I've been visiting for about a year now. I found out about them after I joined the yoga studio next door to them in downtown. I'm not even a coffee person but I needed a place to study and I was head over heels over the fact that they welcome dogs. The baristas are all incredibly kind and knowledgeable, and in no time the shop really became so familiar that I felt less and less like a visitor and more like a friend. I love coming in here and feeling like I have a reason to be here. I try to get my friends to come here whenever I can and quite a few of us now enjoy the new location on Kennedy as the perfect study spot. You'd be surprised how much you might be able to enjoy a place when you stop thinking about how its looks and offerings might impact your social media presence and Instagram likes. I'm pretty grateful that I have so much to look forward to in life that I don't have time to be bothered about whether or not my cappuccino was brought to me in a tin can for all I care. I'll keep coming to Caffeine even if a thousand "trendy" coffee spots pop up!! read more

Caffeine Roasters was fabulous. It was very reasonably priced. The menu is really awesome, so many great choices, I had to go with Chemex, and it was excellent. Workers are incredibly friendly. They're attentive, well-mannered and always on their game. Certainly recommending that place to my friends! read more

I bookmarked this place a while ago. I never came because I hate downtown. Parking seems nearly impossible unless you go to a parking garage which is an easy, short walk away. It isn't as cozy as other places, but the baristas were very friendly. I ordered a warm blueberry muffin (yes!) and the Ginger Spice Decaf Latte. The coffee is very original and very good. I'm definitely glad I braved a parking garage for this! read more
