The food was amazing and the service from Arturo is unmatched! I would highly recommend!

The breakfast here was incredible! They have so many amazing options, including gluten and dairy free option! The specialty lattes were also incredible and unlike anything we've had before! Anna was so kind and very accommodating to our dietary needs! The ambiance was great, and everything came out super quick! We will most definitely be coming back to try lunch and dinner! read more

Dip and Happy - Strawberry Banana Acai Smoothie - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tampa, Florida

There's only smaller tables inside so this place would be best for solo diners or small groups. The menu has a lot of options which personally was overwhelming for me, especially with limited pictures. There was only one server present during my visit so things moved a little slow. Free Wifi is available (password is on the side of the fridge). I asked about some of the menu items and the server didn't seem too knowledgeable about them. I ordered a breakfast burrito (no red pickled onions and no pickled jalapenos) and creme brulee cappuccino with soymilk. I was definitely disappointed when my cappuccino came out looking nothing like the picture. They should warn people about ordering that drink with an alternative milk because there was absolutely no caramelization in it. The chef did come out and explain that it couldn't be done because of the type of milk but offered a replacement with 2% milk which I agreed to and appreciated. The drink was aesthetically pleasing but the sharp caramelized sugar pieces made it hard to drink and did not go down my throat smoothly. The breakfast burrito was pretty disappointing. The side of beans are the same beans that they put into the burrito. I also didn't receive a side of avocado ranch as indicated in the menu description but I just let it go since the staff seemed busy enough. The burrito ended up tasting pretty dry, flavorless, and bean-y. I know I opted to leave out the pickled onions and jalapenos, but I'm not sure if that would've made the burrito much better. My experience might've been a one-off, but I appreciated the staff for doing their best. I would suggest the place trimming down their menu and drink options to make it easier on back of house staff, ensure that there's available ingredients, and make it easier for front of house staff to really know the menu when customers ask about specifics. read more

I came here to meet a friend for breakfast and we were so busy talking that we didn't take pictures. Such a sad Yelp moment. My friend ordered the avocado toast with side of eggs and brewed coffee. I wasn't sure about the gluten free offerings so I opted for their Mediterranean shrimp salad, no dressing and Turkish coffee. The portion sizes were huge and such a great value. I think it's a fun place to try, there is a huge menu. The service was great and friendly. Felt warm and welcoming. read more

Nice little spot for breakfast or brunch. The creme brulee cappuccino is a must have! The Ruben was one of the best I've had around town. They have several Dubai chocolate inspired dishes. I ordered the churros but they didn't make the order. Definitely want to go back and try them read more

This was the most pleasant surprise! Dip and Happy is sure to leave you happy after visiting their cheery establishment. They serve as both a coffee bar and a sit down cafe restaurant. Their menu is expansive, offering a wide variety of types of food, both American and Middle Eastern in origin. We enjoyed the food, but the real deal for me is the coffee & baked goods offering. I tried the ube latte and I am obsessed. Not only was it gorgeous with the vibrant purple tones, but the taste was divine- strong espresso flavor but smooth with the mix of milk and a bit of sweet with the ube. I haven't stopped thinking about this latte since I last had it. We also tried the baklava, which is homemade from the owners wife, and it did not disappoint one bit. Served with a scoop of ice cream, it was stilt with honey yet soft with a bit of crunch from the filo dough. Just so good. Dip and Happy is a place that doesn't stand out to me from the outside, but you must not miss this gem in downtown Tampa! And get the ube latte!! read more

Good option for getting a bite before a show at the Straz Center. While there are many options, like the Maestros at the theater, the prices are pretty high. This place, along with several options near the theater, has popped up in recent years. We wanted a place to sit down and have a conversation with our party, and this place had both indoor and outdoor seating and offered a full menu. We got the chicken pesto panini and the D&H quesadilla. Both came out looking delicious and tasted the amazing. The service was quick and friendly. Will definitely go back! read more

Stumbled on this cute, quaint cafe in downtown Tampa. I needed to find a spot to get some work done, Dip and Happy was suitable. I didn't eat but I had two drinks and they were good. I had the crème brûlée cappuccino and the hulks hydration and they were both good. The crème brûlée was not sweet, if you are concerned about this. Anna was my server and she was so pleasant as well, making my experience great! read more

Super cool spot downtown! It's definitely a vibe. The service is great and very friendly. I got a chicken croissant and I thought it was pretty dry. The bread was also almost burnt so that it didn't help. It was just a decent sandwich. For the price tho idk if I'd return but this place has some great potential and great menu items. Check them out read more

The food here tasted incredibly fresh. I don't know what they put in the ciabatta bread, but it is the softest crunch within the sandwiches. I got the roast beef chimichurri and french dip, and I definitely enjoyed the meal because of the freshness. I think the service is very nice. I do think they should hire more people in the kitchen because the wait was on the longer side. The restaurant was a lot smaller than expected but every aspect of space is used well. read more

Dip and Happy is a unique restaurant for the Tampa food scene and I like it. First off the menu is pretty extensive and consists of breakfast and lunch items. We tried all sorts of dishes and sandwiches...everyone devoured the food. I had the Chicken Shawarma Burritto and it was delicious. The mini falafel balls were also standout. The specialty drinks were delicious. We had a big group on an early Sunday afternoon and reservations were not a problem. The owners were very nice and accommodating of our ever-expanding group size. The service was good. Our server was very attentive and very on top of the refills which I appreciated. Overall, it was a really good experience. Check it out!!! read more

The food was incredible and the customer service was excellent. Lots of halal friendly options. I completely finished my plate and left extremely satisfied. The menu is very extensive and they serve breakfast lunch and dinner at all times so if you are with an indecisive group there is definitely something for everyone. We are here on vacation but we will definitely be returning to eat here again during our next Tampa visit. read more

The food and drink were amazing! They have an unusually large menu with a lot of delectable items. The restaurant doesn't have much seating, but is adorable inside. We had one snafu during our visit. My friend is gluten-free. She asked the server if a dish was gluten-free and the server responded, yes. However, the dish had breaded chicken and was not in fact, gluten free. Thankfully, my friend doesn't have a life-threatening allergy. The owner came to our table and comped her order and apologized for the mistake. The server was visibly shaken by her error. I would definitely recommend this place despite the trouble. read more

Cute place we found walking outside of our hotel in downtown Tampa. Small and quaint. Menu was limited on food items but there were numerous drink options, both cold and hot drinks. Both of us ordered the steak chimichurri bowl that was served topped with egg, pico de gallo, and an amazing sauce. Portion size was small but the flavor was great. Outstanding service but a tad overpriced. I would return if I was in the area and I would Try a few of the drinks and try something different on the menu. Again, service was outstanding. read more

We checked out Dip and Happy in Tampa for Saturday brunch and the food was absolutely amazing. I had the Dubai Waffles and they were everything sweet, indulgent, and totally worth it. Covered chocolate drizzle, topped with fruit and pistachios serious dessert for breakfast vibes! I also ordered the Happy Healthy Breakfast Bowl, which was so refreshing. It's chia seed pudding and açaí sorbet at the base, topped with strawberries, bananas, pomegranate, and pistachios, drizzled with honey. It even came with a little berry compote on the side that added the perfect tart touch. So good, especially on a warm day. My boyfriend got the Breakfast Burrito and it was packed and flavorful he devoured it. We also had iced caramel lattes and they were delicious smooth and not overly sweet. Only downside was the service it was a bit slow, and this isn't really a sit-down spot. You order at the counter and wait, so it's not the place to go if you're on a tight schedule. But if you've got time and you're craving something fresh and flavorful, this place is a gem. read more

I was looking for a good breakfast restaurant Downtown and came across Dip and Happy. The name alone made me smile. After a doing a quick check to find a slew of positive reciews, I decided to give them a try. Parking was a bit of a challenge as they do not have a parking lot. Only street parking and paid lots surrounded the restaurant. The service was warm and friendly. My mom still raves about the shrimp and grits from this restaurant. The presentation and taste was a standout and well-complimented their house-made jalapeño corn bread. Their menu is extensive with a wide array of breakfast and lunch options. I was particularly impressed with their Dubai Chocolate options. From the Dubai Chocolate waffles to the Strawberries and Pistachio Latte. I'm excited to come back and try more items. read more

Dip and Happy was anything but happy. The most disappointing dining experience I've had in my life. If I could give it 0 stars I would and they deserve it. TL/DR: Service and Food(if you get it) are terrible please spend your time/money elsewhere. Miserable experience and expensive for what you get(if you get it). It started out with us walking in and being told it would be 10 minutes for a table or more and we asked about sitting outside because they had 4 open tables. Still was told 10 minutes. No problem. We wait 12 minutes outside see multiple groups leave and then go in and ask again because nobody else was in line or waiting. They said oh yeah just sit outside. Another 10+ minutes go by where we said if they don't come and acknowledge us in 3 more minutes we would leave. They showed up with a minute to spare. Wish we would've left then. Gave them a chance my buddy ordered a caffeinated smoothie that he didn't think they added the caffeine to. Also had to ask for waters to be brought out. My wife just got coffee. Also asked for a high chair that she didn't bring out for 10 plus minutes. When our waitress came back we put in our food orders, my wife got açaí French toast, my buddy got 1/2 sandwich grilled cheese and French onion soup, I got a 1/2 pastrami and 1/2 clam chowder which was the soup of the week, also ordered a kids Mac and cheese for our child which the waiter asked if we wanted it out first and we said yes please as she was getting fussy. It took 45 minutes at least for them to bring out any food which was my wife's French toast and my buddy's 1/2 grilled cheese and French onion soup. As you can see in the picture was just a gelatinous goup and melted cheese that was luke warm. Said the sandwich was average at best. My wife said her French toast was fine. Then 15 minutes later our babies Mac n cheese finally came out which was dry noodles with some shredded cheese over the top as seen in photos. Nothing like what they had on their instagram. My friend sent back the French onion soup and said he would do the clam chowder instead when offered. 5 minutes later she came came back and said they were out of clam chowder, at this point I told them to cancel my food and just asked for the check since I had ordered it an hour earlier and never was asked. They came by after the check came with my sandwich and a different soup option on a plate and asked if I wanted it packed up to go multiple times but didn't offer to comp it so I declined. Still had us pay for the French toast and "Mac n cheese" and fruit for our baby and my buddy's his half grilled cheese. Waitress and hostess lady not apologetic at all or acknowledging of the wait or issues. Any decent place would've packed up my food after I said just cancel it after that amount of time and comped it. As we were walking away we were ran down by someone else on staff with a gift card saying sorry. We're from out of town and my buddy tried loading the card onto toast to order online and it says it has an error. So who knows if it works or how much is on it. But please don't waste your time or money on this place. So many better options. Shocked how they have such high ratings. read more

We have loved coming here! Our initial experience was okay but intrigued us enough to come back. The menu here is incredibly expansive and offers a very wide variety of cuisines.

We would definitely come back at this point and love trying things from this place! read more

First thing's first- HUMONGOUS MENU. I'm talking full cafe with unique drinks, breakfast/lunch & dinner, and desserts. One of those places you could come back and get something new every single time! Service was great, helpful server with recommendations considering the huge menu, and told us about the seasonal specials. We didn't know what to do at first with no hostess but there is a hostess stand to seat you, or you can order at the counter for to-go. Everything we ordered was tasty, good sized meals for the price. Salad was yummy and dressing was just right. The grilled cheese didn't come out super fresh with the cheese already hardening, but still delicious. Definitely in line with other downtown restaurants in terms of slightly higher pricing. This was just a quick trip in for lunch but excited to come back for the full experience with a cafe drink and dessert! read more

This is a cute place for a casual and quick meal. I came here because we had tickets to a performance at the Straz, and I didn't want to have to park twice. Dip and Happy is only 3 blocks from the Straz. You do have to cross a busy and wide street, but at least you get 45 seconds with the light. I got the Middle Eastern chicken rolls, and they were delicious. I liked the beet tabbouli that swapped out the standard tomatoes with beets. With all the citrus-y flavors, the beets did not overwhelm, but there was more substance to it. My daughter couldn't decide and ordered two kids meals. I like that the kids meals come with tater tots and/or fruit, and she liked that the fruit came with Nutella. She finished all the fruit, even if she didn't finish the chicken tenders or grilled cheese. Service was fast and very attentive (maybe because we were the only customers). You can order at the counter, but there are QR codes on the tables that say that you can order from your seat as well. I was too full from eating my meal (and part of my daughter's), so I didn't get to try a dessert, but I've been told that they are all house-made by the owner's wife. I'll have to return. read more

The food was so delicious I really enjoyed eating here and can't wait to come back again

**Fresh healthy food that is tasty, and a good value for everything you get** My first visit to Dip and Happy was absolutely lovely! I placed my order on the Toast app and walked in to pick up my meal. The space was clean and intimate. I was immediately greeted in a warm manner and told the team members that I was picking up an online order. My breakfast egg sandwich was a generous size and made with all fresh ingredients. The sandwich included a side -- I chose a fruit cup. The sandwich was very filling so I saved my fruit for later. Management and staff were very warm and friendly. I'll be back to try lunch! read more
