The shop was busy, but the wait was short and comfortable. Vibes were great, and this was the best coffee we had on our trip through Florida.

My friend and I stumbled upon this cute Latin owned coffee shop and we were super stoked. As soon…read moreas we walked in, we were welcomed by some bad bunny. I knew the vibes and coffee were going to be great. They have an array of pastries and so many great coffee options. They also sell coffee beans and the lab merchandise in store. It looks like it's also pet friendly as they had dog treats all over the shop. I ended up getting the latte with condensed milk and my friend got the matcha latte with lavender syrup. We were both pretty happy with our drinks. It was just what we were looking for. The ambiance was truly cute in there and it looks like they have outdoor sitting as well. I would definitely be back to try other coffee options and bring my friends and family. The pastries also looked delicious! Thank you for the great service! I would recommend !

Love Yemeni coffee and tea…read more When I found out they have a store in Tampa. It was on our bookmarked of places to have a snack. Coffee and tea are amazing with the pastries and milk cakes. Place is nice - having both indoor and outdoor seating We went around lunch and place was busy - many are college students studying Must try their honeycomb and rose milk cake. Also got some to go for the airport - pistachio ricotta cheesecake and their spring addition- banana crunch matcha. So good. Will definitely come back when we are in town.

Wanna getaway? Qamaria transports you out of the strip mall to someplace much more exhilarating…read more It's the ambiance and the menu. The decor is inviting, modern, warm and elegant. You feel like you're on vacation in the large, well appointed space. You can work, scroll, dine, sip or just chill out and scroll at one of the many high tops, tables or couches inside. There's also a large, sunken courtyard outside (right next door, a few steps down. I love the look and location of it.) I'll return to test out all the seating options and report back. But back to this first visit: I couldn't find a menu online ahead of time, so I walked in with a blank slate. They had a menu next to the case full of desserts. I settled on a Yemeni-style hot chai tea and a divine pistachio pastry, with so many flaky layers, sweet honey and a delicate pistachio flavor. I also chose a high top by the window, to enjoy them both. It's such a great environment in here-busy and bubbly but not loud. I can't wait to soak that up-with a different tea and sweet treat. The trip back will be easy. Qamaria is at the corner of 56th Street and Fowler in Temple Terrace, in a brick strip mall... with a huge parking lot, leafy shade trees at one end and lots of other middle eastern delights to try out, in that same plaza. Prices seemed fair, service was fast and it was very clean. Looking forward to grabbing one of the colorful cushioned seats for a reset, soon. Cheers!

They've been open for one year in Seminole Heights, and I didn't even know they were here. Parking…read moreis easy because there is a free parking lot next to the building. Kind of sketchy area, but I had no issues - just lock your car. I was the only one in there at 10 am, but it filled up quickly afterwards. I went with an oat milk shaken espresso, add sugar free brown sugar cinnamon syrup. My drink was priced reasonable, ready quickly, and it was perfect. Inside is very cute, with a wide variety of seating areas: tables, couches, chairs, etc. They had a refrigerated display case next to where you place your order at the bar, and that held a variety of pastries for purchase. I was told there is always only one person working, so I'm not sure how long you'll wait if it is busy, but the worker when I was there seemed very efficient. Now that I know they are there, I'll definitely be back.

I'm 5'10' and I had to raise my elbows up higher after sitting down to try and use the counter, but moved to the one along the wall. Definitely need some higher stools, but they are a decent height already. The neighborhood isn't appealing, but the place is worth a visit.

It was pretty empty because we went in the morning. But it's very spacious and you have multiple table options to sit at. The service was phenomenal!! our coffee bartender was so kind and knowledgeable in all of the drinks. I got a dirty chai latte and it was so enjoyable. They don't serve a ton of options, but the options that they do have are very good. If you're in the area, please give this place a try!

Overall, my experience here was awesome…read more However, I just want to point out a few things for people who have never been here because I was unaware. 1. They do not take cash. 2. 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.

We couldn't leave without trying dessert, and the sweet dim sum ube bao and golden lava bao were the perfect ending to the meal. The cocktails were unique and creative, and I loved that they feature local spirits and ingredients. The live music really completed the experience and gave the whole place an amazing vibe. Great food, great drinks, and a fun atmosphere--we'll definitely be back!

The coffee drinks and teas are really good, my fave has to be the purple haze which is essentially a London fog. The fried rice is pretty good. I personally don't care for the flavor profile, but it was actually cooked to perfection.

People working there are super nice and it's a plus that they have plenty of parking.

If you're driving on north Dale Mabry in Tampa... and you see the Carrollwood Village neighborhood…read moreentrance- make a safe uturn and head in. Inside this winding housing development, you'll find a small shopping plaza-gasoline on one end, dry cleaners on the other... and in between those bookends, a string of small businesses. And behind the door with all the flowers around it: Perfect Press Coffee. It's a hopping and popping kind of place. I've been there twice in the last year-and it's busy. It's a fun mix of neighborhood moms with strollers-people stopping on the way to or from work-and a few remote work workers-who thrive in the happy buzz of a booming business. To the right when you walk in: coffee, tea and sweet and/or savory small bites. There's bench seating along the wall, several small tables and two little couches in the middle. The decor is cute, cozy, modern and slightly caffeinated. It's not a huge place but it's super popular. There are tables out front on the sidewalk, too. It's busy, but the skilled baristas keep things moving. On this most recent trip, I tried the ube matcha-my first. I liked it! There were lots of tempting pastries, etc-but I had a lunch date coming up, so I stuck to just the beverage. If you decide to stop in, bonus: this business shares space with a fun kitchen store that has everything from gourmet salts and oils-fun towels and mugs-and all sorts of other items. I should have bought the cola flavored candy bar. Next time! Yes, the parking lot is a little hectic-but be patient, it comes and goes in waves-you'll get a spot. Oh! And really nice restrooms. This is worth a stop and shop. I'll be back for round three.
