    $7 for iced brown sugar. Missing 1/3 of the cup, no brown sugar. Not it.

    $7 for iced brown sugar. Missing 1/3 of the cup, no brown sugar. 35 min wait. Not it. I'll just head back to Starbucks

    Staying at the hotel right by this and popped over for a quick lunch. They have a menu in addition to a specials board and the staff were friendly and quick service! I got the chicken cordon bleu sandwich - it was tasty but there really was not a lot of meat/ filling over all (a thin-medium layer in about 2/3 of the bread). Quick and tasty it's a great lunch spot!

    Gelato !

    Great little kiosk type cafe ... breakfast, coffee, gelato and baked goods. Quick service. Great variety. Really good cappuccino gelato! Which was my mid morning treat. Sandwiches looked great. They have a a nice seasonal coffee menu too. To go or eat there at their outdoor area. No frills but easy. Nice views from their outdoor patio! Great location right on the bridge too.

    Found the perfect place for breakfast at lunch, because I'm jet lagged. The service is amazing, the food was delicious and the coffee was perfect. This was the perfect place for breakfast for lunch with a view.

    Fast Jacks was a great, quick to-go coffee/breakfast option when I was in the area recently for a conference. It's very affordable, and had great breakfast specials/combos too. Pro-tip is that you can call-in your order so that you don't need to wait--the stand is a bit small (big shout-out to the staff for making my visits so pleasant!) so it can get busy quite fast if there are many orders piled up. I highly recommend Fast Jacks!

    This is the perfect little spot to grab coffee and sit by the bay. There seasonal coffee flavors on their chalk board always catch my eye and interest. It seems like when I go it depends on who makes the coffee and how busy it is because sometimes it's just good and sometimes it's great. The food and gelato are good too! I had the spiced apple latte with almond milk and iced maple white chocolate latte with almond milk the last few times I went. Cuban bread and butter hit the spot. So simple yet so good! Staff is always polite. I can't help but come here everytime I'm in Tampa.

    One of the best breakfast sandwiches I've ordered in a while. My boyfriend and I stopped here to grab a bite to eat. Portion size was definitely worth the price!! Would 100% recommend!!!

    It's not much to look at from the outside, but it's worth a stop. :)

    What is a Gelato stand by day is actually a great spot to grab a "to go" breakfast in the morning. Fresh made eggs, bacon, cuban-pressed sandwiches, and more, along with coffee, espresso, etc. And...you can get it for less than $10. When the line at Starbucks is 40-persons long, walk over the bridge, enjoy a view of the boats, and grab a well-made carry out breakfast at Fast Jack's. PS - Food comes in to go containers, but the 3 days I was here (Dec 2021) I grabbed an outside seat at the affiliated Jackson's Bistro & Bar, and enjoyed a view of the water.

    Cute spot- has coffee, pastries, breakfast, sandwiches and ice cream! This place stays busy but they are fast and efficient! Stopped by for a coffee and was surprised they served many hot breakfast items. Had the breakfast special which was only $4.50! Great deal considering the area. The mocha Cuban was delish! Then to top it off - nice views!

    Convenient spot for a quick lunch hot breakfast. Prices are OK, but the food is really good considering it's a walk up window. They share a kitchen with the parent restaurant Jackson's. The steak sandwich, and the Cubans are probably the best items. They also make a breakfast sandwich on a cinnamon bread that is delicious.

    Stumbled across this place for a break while attending the APEC Convention at the Tampa Convention Center. A nice little walk up shop for dessert, coffee, teas, sandwiches. Along the Riverwalk located on the other side of the bridge from the Tampa Convention Center. The server Chrissy was really helpful and let me taste as many samples of the gelato as I wanted. A small gelato you can mix up to 3 flavors and a large gelato up to 4 flavors. I ordered a small gelato, strawberry and chocolate which was about $3-buck-something. Especially with the hot humid Florida weather and the nice view along the Riverwalk it was nicely located and convenient. This place is good for a lite snack.

    Gelato hit the spot on a warmer afternoon walk back to the hotel. Wasn't to keen to try the coffee though so can't speak to that.

Her verdict was the that the BEC was excellent! I had the same sandwich minus the bacon and it was fantastic too. Service was friendly, helpful and speedy. Can't wait to return and try other items on the menu. They have a very small outdoor dining area that is covered. Maybe 5-6 tables. It's nice but I'm sure it gets a bit warm during the summer. Parking can be an issue. I would advise to not parking at the lot right next to the place unless you're going to be downtown for a bit. Best to find much cheaper street parking.

We had heard a lot about this place, but going over the bridge for a breakfast sandwich ... we just kept putting it off. My only gripe is that if you want to sit and enjoy your sandwich, parking in the nearby lot costs over $12. I'm sure there are ways around it, but we just rushed in as soon as we saw the signage. I ordered the BEC, and my fiancé had an egg and cheese. It's crazy, but even the iced coffee tasted like home, which makes no sense. Service is no-nonsense, which again is like home. Gimme my sandwich, no smawlll tawk. We highly recommend 10 outa 10!

However, I've been pretty underwhelmed every time I've come here. I really want to love their wings, but Hattricks is just in another stratosphere compared to everywhere else in Tampa Bay. I got 16 wings for $30 - 25% = $22.50 and I had half "soon to be famous" and half garlic parmesan. I thought both were just okay at best. I also tried at $14 dirty martini. It was pretty standard. And I tried the $15 espresso martini. I would not order an espresso martini here again. I enjoyed playing trivia and there are a bunch of TV's to watch a game. I guess I need to try something here other than wings. I don't know every time I come here I always wonder why I'm not at Hattricks instead. Automatic 20% tip added onto your bill if you forget to close out.
