It was delicious! I forget what my friends got, but I had a bite of theirs and it was delicious as well. I will say they are very sweet so I couldn't eat it all in one sitting. I've been inside before to pick up delivery orders and I've anyways wanted to try it. I'm glad I got to!

Somebody finally came out of the back and we ordered one cheesecake and also a cake as well. One thing I noticed right off the bat is at they tasted frozen. They lost a lot of flavor unfortunately and the cake was dry. The cheesecake was okay but again digging in it had a frozen taste. Her treats used to taste so fresh and delicious but unfortunately these were the opposite.

The shaved snow melts right in your mouth, the crumbles were tasty and a perfect texture. I would say the cheesecake slice was not good.. it was dry, and grainy. Everything else was on point! Will try this again without the cheesecake. Service is always great, fast and the ambiance isn't too loud.

I will add that it can be REALLY sweet depending on the flavor you get, but it can also be subtle. I really like this place. Only pulled a star away because the cheesecake add-on to my Shaved Ice was a bit stale. Just in a way as if it might have been in the fridge too long and lost its freshness. Otherwise, definitely a place I'll be back to.

She approaches this job as if she was the owner of the business she truly cares about the customers she waits on and makes sure everyone gets a greeting when they walk through the door.

I cannot wait until he starts to cater as the food is all made fresh to order and with no preservatives. Give this place a try if you want to be impressed. Blessings to you Rick and your team.

Soooo excited to finally visit Cali Cafe! I'd seen the pan de bono waffle breakfast Sammy in social…read moremedia and i knew i just HAD to go! Colombian spots like this are my jam & it's been on my list to visit for a minute now. The breakfast Sammy definitely set this place apart from the rest. I'd never heard of this before and honestly it's quite genius. I went on a Saturday morning and boy was it busy busy! I placed my order with the friendly attendant the wait was a bit long but there was plenty of seating inside (i didn't realize how big this place was inside!) so i sat with my book and before i knew it i was walking out with my order! Thankfully i don't live far so i was home with my order in no time. The breakfast waffle Sammy was delicious i ordered mine with sausage and split half of it with my husband. It was soft and cheesy and I'd definitely get it again next time. I also ordered 3 regular pan de Bonos, an arepa con queso, alfajores, and i heard the guava and cheese muffins were a must so i grabbed one too. Oh yeah and two cafe con leches. I see they have lunch as well so I'm gonna have to go back for a lunch Sammy and maybe some empanadas. I love that they have all the tables inside. It's a cute spot to meet with friends for cafecito and treats.

Thankfully it was close by, we didn't have to go all the way into Tampa to find a great tea experience. Affordable too!! The settings are all fine china from England. You get 2 teas. An English breakfast black tea and a caffeine free herbal tea. Sugar and honey to complement. You do get a few courses as well. Soup and scone to start off. Then a tower of sweets and savory sandwiches. The cucumber sandwich was so good. I LOVED the soup and scones. Everything is homemade, amazing! The service was so friendly and nice. Our server poured our teas and explained everything we were getting. It was very relaxed and no rush. It was a great experience and we definitely left full! I would love to come back here again soon. Only note of improvement I think the outside could be cleaned up some. Thank you!

As a former corporate pastry chef for Hyatt Hotels for almost22 years and the owner of my own…read morefamily bakery and restaurant for 17 years, I know how hard this business is, and I rarely leave negative reviews. The disappointment began before we even walked through the front door. The entire entrance looked more like a junkyard than a tea room: oversized plastic chess pieces, random wood on the wall where a sign had been removed, dark staining that looked neglected, broken flower pots, old rusted garden furniture. My wife and I almost turned around. Had we been paying that day, we likely would have left. But we had a gift certificate, so we gave it a chance. What concerned me even more was the safety. The steps were in poor condition, and the handrail was extremely loose, moving several inches side to side. As someone with a disability, that felt unsafe. Accessibility should be basic. Inside, the owner and our server were kind and welcoming, and I genuinely appreciated that. But both teapots had been placed on the table before we were seated, and my tea was already cold. I had to ask for hot water just to have a proper cup, which I wouldn't expect from an afternoon tea. The biggest disappointment was the food. At forty five dollars per person, ninety for two, I expected quality and attention to detail. Instead, the sandwiches and pastries were among the poorest I've ever been served. I could only manage a couple of small sandwiches and one dessert before giving up. What surprised me most after our visit was reading the five-star reviews. Based on our experience, it is difficult for me to understand how this place earns that level of praise. I hope this is taken as constructive criticism. The staff was kind, but kindness can't overcome serious maintenance and quality issues. Sadly, I can't recommend it in its current state Update Thank you for responding We were celebrating my wife and I our retirement and chose not to create an awkward moment. Many people reflect afterwards. Our review reflects our honest experience."

So walking pass this place first thing I saw was the sign that said Fried Oreos, Fried Cheesecake,…read moreFried Twinkies, Fried Brownies... I seriously talked myself into walking pass it as I kept looking saying OMG You do not have all this goodness right here.. they laughed at me and say come on you gotta try it.. I said nooooo I can't it's not what I walked in this mall for. I continued to the clothing store across from them but leaving out I had to pass Remo's so guess what we found each other and I couldn't pass up those Oreos.. They were everything I thought it was going to be. Sam was working behind the register she was amazing, super sweet and helpful she made sure to go over the menu with and all the extra things i could add. She was working with another gentlemen who was preparing the order. He was delightful very pleasant he really made it extra hard when I was passing by he kept saying "why not" You won't regret it" Listen if you're wanted a super nice treat while shopping in the Brandon Town Center Mall you should definitely try them out. They are right outside Books a Million, so again a place that easy to get to and leave out if you're in a rush. Sam thanks for making my afternoon feel like being at the fair, wanting nothing but the foods lol but less stressful of all the people and most importantly showing me that goodness not only comes with the items on your menu but the people like you and your staff working behind the counter. These were perfect in every way and with that added sea salt caramel drizzled on top I'm still shaking my head.
