    Good spot for a quick bite. They've got a good selection of pastries too Got this ham and cheese toast

    Doesn't look like much from the outside, but the inside is pretty nice! The deserts look really good. Staff were very friendly. Owner introduced himself. He was also very nice. Colombian breakfast was great. Cafe con leche was great!

    Sooo, Cali Cafe is a family-owned Colombian café and a true hidden gem in Riverview. I come here pretty often, and honestly, I'm ashamed it took me this long to write a review. If you're in the area, definitely choose this spot over the big franchises. The café has plenty of seating and WiFi, making it a great place to work or just relax. I love the wall painted with coffee facts--it's a nice touch. Everyone here is always so friendly and helpful, and the owner even comes out to greet customers, which makes it feel extra welcoming. I've tried a variety of their breakfast sandwiches and sweets, and they haven't failed me yet! My favorites: * Cuban Breakfast Sandwich: Delicious * Bacon Croissant: Yummy * And of course, the coffee!

    If you're looking for a Colombian spot in the Riverview area, this is the place to go. Great coffee, delicious food, and very reasonable prices. I tried the Colombian Breakfast, which includes an arepa with cheese and eggs (any style); I ordered mine with perico. I also tried the Cuban Breakfast, and both dishes were amazing. The arepa was perfectly crispy, and everything was served hot. The coffee was excellent, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. We also tried a quesito and a pandebono, both of which were delicious. I'll definitely be coming back to try more from the menu. The only thing I'd mention is that while the service was very friendly, it was a bit slow. However, it didn't ruin the experience at all. Highly recommended! ------ Si estás buscando un lugar colombiano en el área de Riverview, este es el sitio ideal. Excelente café, buena comida y precios bastante accesibles. Probé el Colombian Breakfast, que incluye una arepa con queso y huevos (preparados a tu gusto); yo los pedí con perico. También probé el Cuban Breakfast y ambos platos estuvieron deliciosos. La arepa estaba crujiente y todo llegó calientito. El café estaba muy rico, y el ambiente es agradable y acogedor. Además, probamos un quesito y un pan de bono, ambos muy buenos. Definitivamente volveré para probar el resto del menú. Lo único que puedo mencionar es que el servicio fue muy amable, aunque un poco lento. Sin embargo, eso no afectó en absoluto mi experiencia. ¡Recomendado!

    Pandebono

    Love Cali Cafe. Everyone is always so nice and I'm not familiar with Colombian food so they are so nice about explaining their menu. It's been a while since I've been here (4 yrs) and this experience was just as good as my last. the breaks fast Cuban was delicious and I'm in love with the pandebono It's a little hidden so make a point to go by and check them out. Muy Bien!!

    Very very good! We had the Cuban breakfast and it was delicious The cafe con leche was also fantastic and strong ! They do not have oatmilk available. Their cinnamon roll is out of this world with a hint of anise! So unique Staff was very attentive but they took 15 minutes to bring our food and we waited forever to get the check till we decided to go directly to the cashier

    @ricocalicafe - riverview, fl Had a great breakfast meal at this Colombian Cafe while we were visiting Tampa. It's a coffee shop that is serving up delicious sandwiches, pastries, fruit drinks, and traditional South American treats. Don't waste your time at Starbucks when you can get some great drinks and eats at a family owned local spot!

    We had a group of 10 here at this little hidden gem in Riverview. The coffee is extraordinary as well as the pastries. Our server was very attentive and apologetic when a few of the orders took a little longer. But we didn't mind. The owner came up and greeted us to make sure everything was OK. There are a couple of different rooms and it's decorated lovely. The music was very soothing and played it right just the right volume. And the prices are so reasonable. I will definitely return to Cali it Café.

    Cafe con leche

    Great place! The service was great, staff very friendly. I got a cafe con leche and a pandebono. It was delicious. I highly recommend this place. We plan to come back later for lunch. Update- posted pictures from lunch

    Guava muffin dulce de leche
    Brittany M.

    Perfect way to start your morning. A nice Cafecito and a breakfast Cuban well have you in the best mood. It is a little quiet inside in the mornings but they are bringing food out left and right definitely staying busy. It's very casual and relaxing I love sitting down to enjoy my food and I always sucker myself into getting some bakery items before I go lol. I love the guava muffin it has cheese and guava swirling around it's Soo good. Also if you don't like hot coffee this place will change your mind. I love the coffee here

    Chicken empanadas
    Madalynn S.

    My favorite empanadas! Highly recommend. They also have bakery treats and coffee. Service is always good. They have outlets so you can do your work here.

    Passion fruit cheesecake
    Stephanie D.

    Fantastic bakery! The passion fruit cheesecake is one of my favorite desserts ever! My boyfriend and I discovered this spot when a coworker brought in a variety of sliced cakes. The passion fruit cheesecake happened to be one of them and it's incredible! This past weekend was my birthday and we preordered an entire cake as a birthday cake. Was well worth the drive to pick it up! I'm sure the other pastries are just as good!

    MOUTH MAGIC Happens here! Stop right now....push directions…read moreand go to Moon Mountain immediately! There is so much to try at this treasure shop! Are you feeling like a power bowl, a coffee, a vape, a matcha, Kratom, kava....it's all here! Not only is it here, it is delicious and served up by an awesome team led by a very cool owner. I have always disliked matcha (and I've tried it all over the world...) I mentioned that to the owner and he said "Nooooooo- you've not had it made the right way!" And he gave me an awesome education about matcha. Even shared the one he was making so I could experience it the way God intended....with an "ahhhhh" , a smile, and a chocolate cold foam mustache! Perfection! It didn't taste like dirt, it tasted like a chocolate covered strawberry in liquid form! We intended to pop in for a coffee, stayed for a coffee, a matcha, an education, and the cool vibes put out by the folks here. They actually talk, smile, laugh and joke with their new friends (aka. customers) which is a very nice change from some places you go these days. Thanks so much for the magical mouth magic Moon Mountain...we will be back soon! You have created a Lunartic!

    Moon Mountain has the chillest, relaxed vibe of any coffee shop I've been to in the Brandon area…read more With plentiful seating for relaxation, playing board games with the friends, to drinking at the bar, this cafe is perfect for every occasion. I friend recommended this place for their coffee and homework time. So I proceeded to do the same today. The music is THE best, I loved every song they have put on. They have a guitar for any artist to play and many drink options like kava tea, loose leaf, coffee, smoothies, beer, sodas and more! The barista/bartender Zoey was super sweet! She answered all my newbie questions and recommendations. I tried their iced latte with coconut and caramel which was DELISH. The coffee was smooth with a strong flavor which I like, but not bitter. I will for sure be back! This is my fav spot now for homework sesh time in the Brandon area.
