Never been to this Kahwa but I had a gift card and I wanted to try some holiday flavors after the gym! Parking (during the weekday) with Parkmobile was free for the first hour - but be sure to use the app. The staff was super kind. They had christmas vibes already (in november) and I was mad it. Santa seats. Festive Kahwa shirts and coffee bean bags. The they ornaments hanging from the ceiling and snow on the windows! They have a kiosk ordering system or you can order with barista. They were pretty quick. My dad got the Black forest cold brew and I got the cookie butter chai Not a fan of chocolate so didn't try the cold brew but it was cold brew w cherry flavoring and a chocolate cold foam. My cookie butter chai was amazing. It was the perfect hot temperature - didn't burn my self but also still warmed me up. They have a cool Ripple machine so she didn't do latte art unfortunately - but the ripple puts images on your lattes and it's so neat and perfect. I didn't see any restrooms but also wasn't looking. There is a lot of seating for dining in. Let down because they didn't have the Matcha White Chocolate Cookie at 830AM read more

While in Tampa, we fueled our morning with a visit to @kahwacoffee -- a standout in Florida's coffee scene. Founded in 2006 by husband-and-wife team Raphael and Sarah Perrier, Kahwa is a locally owned, artisan coffee company based in St. Petersburg that has grown to become one of the state's most beloved names in specialty coffee. They're known for small-batch, 100% Arabica bean roasting, thoughtfully sourced blends, and their commitment to supporting local communities. At their Tampa location, we tried: * Sunset Spritz - a sangria-inspired refresher made with blackcurrant, Maison Perrier, and orange juice * Iced Aloha Latte - summer in a cup with macadamia nut and coconut flavors * Croissant Breakfast Sandwich - warm, buttery, and perfectly made to order * Savory Vegetarian Bistro Pastry - flaky, filling, and full of flavor From bold espresso to creative seasonal drinks, Kahwa delivers more than just coffee -- it delivers a full café experience rooted in quality, connection, and community. Whether you're in need of a quick caffeine fix or a cozy breakfast stop, this place is worth checking out. And I forgot to mention, the barista was SO nice and kind!! read more

The nitro cold brew with sugar free caramel syrup really brightened my morning. The service was great, I chatted with the team member about books briefly. The ambiance is amazing and relaxing if looking to get some work done while enjoying a tasty beverage/treat. I'd come back. read more

Ordered: 24oz Iced Pistachio Vanilla Latte (~$8): with oat milk Aya's take: Kahwa is the Arabic word for coffee (maybe other languages too) so I was excited to give it a try. Although inspired by coffee in Africa, they began their roasting locally in St. Petersburg. The Iced Pistachio Vanilla Latte was one of their seasonal offerings and although it definitely well-made with balanced sweetness and creaminess, I didn't really get much of the pistachio. It looked slightly different than photos/videos I saw (the pistachio syrup has more of a off-green tint that I didn't see here). All in all, it was a good try and gave me the caffeine boost I needed for my long day ahead. read more

Great place to sit and relax. Nice outdoor seating. I tried their pistachio latte and was excited about the flavor however it didn't really have much of pistachio flavor in it and tasted more like just a normal latte hence a little disappointed and less stars but 10/10 for the location, ambiance and staff. read more

Worst Coffee I have ever put in my mouth. Barista attempts to steam my milk for an ice latte and lets the espresso keep pouring for the added water in my friend's americano. This place has no clue how to make coffee drinks and the coffee is so insanely bitter that I don't think they know how to roast or the company they buy from doesn't know how to roast coffee beans. Overall I do not recommend this establishment 0 stars read more

I LOVE getting my morning coffee here- but is anyone else over togo staff workers asking for a tip? I find it classless and rude to have a customer (who isn't dining in) to not only be verbally asked to tip, but also to hold the card reader to pay. Management needs to get involved here and discontinue allowing staff to ask for a tip through a drive thru window. It truly makes me chose a different coffee place some mornings. read more

Thank you Sabrina! She is the sweetest barista. She took care of me not once but twice!! So kind and understanding honestly the best!! My first drink I ordered was the new F pumpkin spice and it was late so I left after trying to adjust the flavor and unfortunately the drink wasn't for me well I came in the next day and she just so happened to be working and explained what happened and she was sweet enough to make me a new drink! She fixed up one of their popular drinks I think it was a pistachio latte that was really good! I appreciate her being so helpful! I'll definitely be back.:) read more

Yum so good! I got the iced pistachio latte. The inside is nice, a little sterile feeling. The barista is in the middle and the seating is around, I dont know why but I dont love this lay out. We sat outside which was much more our vibe. Our barista was super nice! read more

Was trying to find some aesthetic coffee shops and this place caught my eye. The colors are inviting and cute on any Instagram feed. However, the drinks were a little subpar in my opinion. Tried the seasonal pecan latte and couldn't taste any of the flavorings, although it was iced so that could have played into it. The seasonal syrup is just store bought syrup, it's not a specialty coffee shop in my opinion. Very simple flavors and nothing too crazy unique compared to other shops. read more

Had a great experience at this location. Ordered a matcha latte through their app which was made by the time I got to the store. Wasn't the best matcha I've had which made me give 4/5 stars instead of 5/5.The store was very clean and aesthetic. Had areas to sit and do some homework (had internet). The lady at the counter was nice and attentive. read more

I personally love Kahwa coffee. But this location is hands down the best one I've been too. The staff goes out of their way to make sure you are satisfied. I placed an online order and I accidentally forgot to add milk to my coffee. I asked if they could just put a splash of milk in there and she said no I'm going to remake it for you so I know that you are going to get a good coffee and a good experience. I was shocked and man was it a good coffee. It's not exactly cheap but I think it's one of the better ones around. Try it! You won't be disappointed! read more

On the way back to our car from The Farmacy, we noticed this little coffee shop next door and decided to stop in for drinks. My husband ordered a nitro cold brew, and I got the Kahwa Fizz since I wanted something without caffeine. The coffee was some of the best coffee I've tasted, even better than Starbucks! The Kahwa fizz was basically raspberry syrup, club soda and plant based milk over ice & it was insanely delicious! The prices are great, and they even sell cookies from the Farmacy as well as other pastries! Check this spot out, it sure is a little hidden gem! read more

I had a really good lavender vanilla cold brew and one of their new cucumber refreshers. The refresher was super bubbly and nice to drink outside on their outdoor seating area. They also have options on different flavors you could ass to the refreshers. Service was really great. Its a smaller staff and they were very helpful with recommendations. I also had a ham and cheese croissant that was the perfect sized breakfast. read more

I love Kahwa's iced latte with oat milk. It's consistently not too milky which other cafes often do, especially with oat milk because it's so creamy. I also love that their plastic is made from plants. It's nice to see a local cafe doing so well and choosing to take steps towards more eco friendly practices on their own. They are also good about letting me use my reusables when I remember to bring one. And the we vegan cafe chocolate chip cookies they carry are incredible. read more

The coffee is okay. I don't have much to say. The Riverwalk location is conveniently open after other coffee shops in the area were closed and it's right near the action in the winter village. I tried the iced latte with caramel but I feel like the caramel flavor wasn't strong enough so I didn't taste it. read more

Amy, the barista was fantastic. Atmosphere was nice but the cappuccino was subpar mainly due to the medium roast bean they use. Slightly nutty but overall just lacking flavor. They need a dark roast option for traditional capps. read more

This is a quaint coffee shop downtown Tampa. The coffee was good but food selection is very limited. I ordered a cortadito (because they told me they knew how to make it and carry in their menu), a hot chocolate and a quiche. First of all, they didn't know what is a cortadito, which is expresso with a splash of milk and brown sugar. They just gave me a shot of expresso. Very disappointed when I tasted it. The hot chocolate was ok, but they didn't have peppermint which my kid prefers to be added. As for the quiche, it was cold and had to send back for additional heating. Then it came back burned and super dry. The staff was nice and courteous. read more

Wonderful coffee and great customer service. Love that taste of their coffee. Will be back soon. Thank you.

Do you need a jolt to your day? Try an ICED AMERICANO - full bodied and strong! This is one of my favorite Kahwa layouts - a 360 circular bar. It would be better if they had more stools at the bar, preferably with some padding for those who are lacking in the booty department. ;-) The barista was friendly, baked goods case was full of different choices at 11am on a Sun. morning, & the beautiful colored flowers at the register popped! I sat outdoors for a couple minutes, but there were two smokers who took it upon themselves to sit in opposite areas, so the smoke drifted in my direction - I just left. If you need a latte suggestion, be sure to try some of my favorites: Iced Aloha Latte: 5/5 Lavendar/Vanilla Iced Latte: 5/5 Iced Latte w/Peach Syrup: 4/5 read more

*** Very modern type, very chic locale. Trendy. I will leave it up to you as to whether you like the looks of the inside of this place... I can tell you this---what I do not like is that people come in off of the street to sleep here at a table. They are not going to work. They sit here for hours. :( So you might find yourself in here having something to eat while somebody is asking you for money so they can get something to eat... Not the most comfortable experience, in my opinion. The food is like Starbucks. Same theme. Pricey. But you knew that. It's the location. 3 stars. *** read more

So I am a pure black coffee drinker and this place hit the spot. I do not like adding a million different things to my coffee other than some sweet we here and there. The inside decore was super cute, and I loved the coffee bags that said "coffee from Brasil,Peru, and Costa Rica." The diversity and culture made me enjoy the experience in the shop even more. The table setting were very nicely set because they set the tone for a solo coffee drinker and a couple. Meaning you can come in and having coffee alpine and enjoy or bring company. The location is nice because it is next to a park and a grocery store! Perfect spot to stop in and get a cup of coffee if you are a local or just visiting. Service was also great and I loved the decore. read more

When you use the Kahwa app for the first time you get $3 credit! So my Americano was free today :) I really like the price point and quality of the espresso drinks I can get here. There are many coffee options around downtown area but I cannot get a 20oz. hot Americano for less than $3 and some change at other places! And also small details matter. I am always offered a real spoon and a small dish to stir in my almond milk and stevia and THIS kind of service is what makes me come back. Just so you know. I also love the location and decor of this place. It's relaxing hipster, and it's next to the greatest hipster grocer in TB area, Duckweed urban Grocery. Tres chic. read more

I just came here for a coffee to-go, but it seems like a cute place to hang out if you have some time in your day. When I was there on a Sunday morning, it was not crowded at all, with plenty of seating available, and a few people reading, doing work, or hanging out with friends. The location in downtown Tampa is convenient, with plenty of other restaurants, cafes, grocery stores and parking within walking distance. I decided to get an iced Aloha Latte, because it was a featured drink, and a croissant. It was good, but nothing out of the ordinary. I'm glad I was able to use the 10% off promotion when I checked in there, that was a cool bonus. Additionally, they use paper straws, which I like because it's better for the environment. Would return. read more

Happen to pass by this place on my way to work. Check out the menu and tried out thier marshmallow mocha along with a vegan cinnamon roll. Gotta say the marshmallow mocha was a pretty good choice. The vegan Cinnamon Roll was okay, perhaps because I just happen to get a bad one or maybe i needed to warm it a up bit. But overall, it was good. The atmosphere was pleasant. I notice they were very busy in the mornings, but staff manage to keep up with a good attitude towards all. Definitely would come again to try something different. read more
