Great environment, excellent location, excellent service, very friendly staff and for the size of the location it has great distribution, perfect for working away from home or just need a break from corporate office. It has a space for everyone. The food menu aligns perfect for a coffeehouse at any time of the day. Offering from toasts, muffins that look delicious to Cuban sandwich at reasonable price. Would certainly visit again! read more

Honestly I was a little disappointed by this experience. I've always seen this coffee shop listed on the top 10 in Tampa list, but my experience didn't deliver. This is more of "working from a coffe-shop" vibe than it is a place to meet friends for a chat. The place itself is packed, there was only one table left for me to sit down. The place had a stressed vibe even though there was no line behind me to order. The baristas were very nice but overall the coffee was extremely sweet for my taste. read more

Hopefully I am not exposing anyone's secret spot, but Leads Coffeehouse is arguably THE secret garden of the Tampa-proper coffee shop scene and hang out. I had the opportunity to stop by last week with some co-workers while we were all running low on some caffeine and was extremely happy with finding Leads Coffeehouse. Located where some might call the "Cusp of South Tampa" (no - actually, no one calls it that and realistically it's only self-proclaimed branding is what's happening here), Leads Coffeehouse is right off North Himes Avenue, paralleling the main drag of Dale Mabry. It does seem like it's in the neighborhood cuts, but that is arguably a part of the appeal of Leads Coffee. The shop does not make itself apparent - whether you're driving by or deliberately looking for it. The signs seem to indicate a Guzman Law Firm, along with Networking Leads - which seem to be some sort of co-working space. However, if you look closely at the sign - you will notice the coffeehouse in fine print. Even as you are walking up, the coffeehouse appears hidden in plain sight - almost like a speakeasy, but for coffee, i.e. legalized crack for daywalkers. There is a parking lot for the venue, however the spaces are rather limited. Inside, you will find a very inviting space with home-y decor and color palettes to match. The seating appears very conducive for study and small work gatherings. Aside from that, I found the postal card mailbox extremely interesting and I will definitely come back here to take advantage of this offering. There is a "traditional" coffee menu with specialized drinks, along with a seasonal bevvie list. Additionally, you can order small eats and baked goods. The baristas and servers are extremely friendly and welcoming. Overall, Leads Coffeehouse is ultimately a great coffee shop to bring friends, family, and co-workers to share company with! read more

Was looking for a new coffee spot and stumbled upon, Leads! Tucked away in an office building in West Tampa. From first glance, it doesn't look like much but once inside-- it is so precious and spacious and cozy. Their decor is amazing. They plenty of seating and tables. They also have board games as well for dates or groups of friends. I got their seasonal drink: Harvest Brew. Orange & Cardamom with an Orange Cold Foam. I am a big fan of orange in my lattes so I was excited! The latte itself was good but I wish they went harder with the cardamom and the orange cold foam tasted odd to me. Almost like sour cream. I assume, hopefully, it's the orange in it & to suggest maybe adding simple syrup as well to the cold foam. I also got their Chicken Salad on Croissant & that was so delicious. No complaints, except that I wish they had options to add lettuce & tomatoes. Also I saw a review that it is onion forward and that holds true! I ended up going back in for a pastry & got their cinnamon roll & my god was it good. Absolutely amazing. Service was amazing-- everything came out quickly & brought to you. I tried to have conversation with the only barista there but it seemed a bit rushed since he also had a friend at the counter he was having a conversation with. But from what I gathered is that have events here such as open mic & bookclub-- they post updates on their instagram. They also closed for a bit & then opened back up. They are also partnered with the networking place next to them. Can't wait to go back! read more

I recently moved to this area and have been looking for a coffee shop to work remotely from and stumbled upon Leads Coffeehouse while searching Yelp. I'm so glad I tried this place! The inside is large and there were a lot of people there working, but not an overwhelming amount to feel crowded. I had a hot salted caramel latte that was delicious! I also got the chicken salad sandwich, but felt there was too much chicken salad on it and it was also very onion heavy (which isn't my personal preference). I stayed for a few hours to knock some work out and really enjoyed the atmosphere. I will definitely be back! read more

Leads Coffeehouse - Inside - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Tampa, Florida

I love the ambience of this place. It's like a dark and eclectic coffee house with a lot of charm. When I walked in, I can tell it was a third space for a lot of people who work remotely and like to collaborate. I tried one of their specialty matchas that was recommended by the friendly staff, and I really enjoyed it. If I'm ever in the area, I'm definitely coming back. read more

I had a lot of hope for this spot. Photos and reviews were all really positive, so I chose to go with some friends to work on a Saturday AM. I will say that I am very particular about my coffee and my matcha - as are my friends. I have often been called a "snob" about coffee, so let this guide your reading of this review. The space is pretty large, and parking was easy to obtain. There were a ton of seating and tables, which was excellent for the atmosphere. They really make excellent use of the size of that space. The staff were really friendly and engaged every single customer in conversation. They made our stuff pretty quickly as well and were accommodating of any requests (oat milk, half sweet, etc.) Our food (two Cuban toasts) were perfectly adequate. Pricing is consistent for what I'd expect. When we got our drinks, we all were disappointed. We had asked for half sweet, and the drinks were still wayyyyyy too sweet. I'm not sure what the shop's definition of half sweet is, but it didn't meet my expectation at all. My friend got matcha and dumped most of it out because of how sweet it was still. I got a pumpkin spice latte and didn't even finish it because of the sweetness. Our other friend got a cafe con leche and found it to be subpar. We didn't feel like asking the staff to remake it, because we should've expected that going into a shop like this and they were busy. All of us agreed that we wouldn't be going back. Overall, if you're someone who doesn't have a palette for coffee quality and/or is better able to adjust your expectations of what you're getting based off the shop, you might like this place. They do have a great space for working, and the staff are friendly. However, if you're like us, there are other shops with higher quality coffee around town to check out. read more

Came in to get some more computer work done. It's a cozy and cute spot. I must have come during busy hours because it was absolutely packed with other people who had the same idea as me. The matcha latte was pretty good considering I "heath-ifid" it. I saved most of it for later and drank it the next day, and it was still good. The matcha latte with honey is so much better. read more

Leads Coffeehouse - almond milk matcha latte with sugar free vanilla - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Tampa, Florida

I was looking for a chill spot to get some work done and found this coffee shop, so glad I did! It's super cozy, the vibes are great and the baristas were super sweet and friendly. It's the kind of place where you can sit with your laptop, enjoy a good coffee or just hang out and read a book. I had a café con leche and it was really good! Definitely recommending this spot and can't wait to go back if I passing around this area! read more

The Barista was extremely friendly and attentive. I asked for her to experiment and make me an iced latte of her choice with almond milk and she didn't flinch! The pistachio vanilla latte she made was great! The vibe of this place is nice, lots of seating but could use a little bit more open space. It was nice to see people conducting business in a coffee shop but it definitely had business and work vibes versus sit on the couch and sip coffee (nothing wrong with that). Great spot for a work meeting or school work with peers. read more

Thanks, Yelp-this was totally your doing. I *never would have found Leads Coffeehouse without you! It's quietly sitting there, in a two story professional building... all calm and self-assured-not shouting about itself. And that's how you feel when you go inside. It's chill, it's laid back, it's casual... and you can soak up that vibe at high tops and tables, chair/couch seating. You can sit and get work done-or gather with friends/colleagues. And yeah, there's refreshments! The menu isn't super large, but the hot matcha latte with lavender was very comforting, tasty and smooth. The Cuban toast was crunchy, buttery and like the tea, cinforting. (You can also get it with cheese). The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming-as sunny as the morning light outside. I felt like they were truly glad to see me. You order at a counter in the back left corner, pick your own spot to sit... and they'll bring your order to you. Three sips into that yummy matcha and I was as relaxed as the rest of the place. This would be a great place to have a small work meeting-or catch up on your own work. I sat and read through a ton of emails and loved the zen feel of it. I'd definitely return. read more

Great coffee spot!! I had low expectations and I love it when I get very impressed. The interior is so cozy and I love the chill music to make the vibe more comfortable. The coffee actually tasted really good and the sizes for the price is amazing! Our son loved the chocolate chip cookies even though they tasted kinda like pre-packaged cookies. The service was nice and quick. This is an excellent place to get work done and seems very professional. Love the motivational quotes everywhere. I would totally come back whenever we're in town again! read more

Cute coffee shop with baked goods and snack options! The vibes are casual and include a TV (which had the news on when we came), couch seating and tables--great for getting work done, going on a coffee date, or yapping with a group of friends. They also host some events at the space. I really enjoyed my butterscotch latte! The butterscotch syrup isn't listed on the menu but they had it available when I asked what syrups they had. read more

Great service and the coffee was delicious! One of my faves in Tampa. The atmosphere was lively with people connecting and working.

So glad I found Leads! I like to study and work from home a lot and this is the perfect place for that. It has a lot of tables with some outlets scattered against the walls. The coffee is huge!? Three shots in an iced latte is exactly what I need to get going and stay focused. The flavored coffee is a bit sweet, so get half sweet if you like less sweet. I had the blueberry scone last time and it was delicious, especially warmed up. I will definitely be visiting again soon! read more

As my kids would say "What a cute place" This is a hidden gem you will need your gps to find it. Great place to meet on a blind date or a business meet up.

Found this little place while looking for a location to have short meeting over coffee. GPS was not helpful. It's in a building next to business suites for rent. The person who greeted me was friendly, and I decided on a lavender, vanilla latte. The sitting area and decor are charming, and the coffee was very good. The location filled up quickly after I arrived. They serve a limited breakfast also. I'll be back for the coffee. read more

What a great space! My boyfriend and I are visiting from out of town and were looking for a place to send a few emails after AirBnB checkout and before we hit the road. This is that place! Leads has a small selection but everything is made from the heart. We walked into a mostly empty place, but a few coworkers from next door were hanging out and recommended some things to us upon arrival. Super friendly vibe and WOW the offerings are good. We ordered a chocolate lava latte (and let me tell you, I'm NOT a coffee drinker but I kept stealing sips from my boyfriend) and a bacon egg and cheese [croissant]. Being such a small place, once we ordered and sat down I could hear the fresh eggs being cracked into a pan to cook and smell the butter melting!!! Truly a breakfast sandwich made as fresh as can be, with a flaky croissant to hold it all together! YUM! WiFi is posted for customers to use while working, and they had some classical music playing in the background (except for the occasional fresh coffee grinding sounds). Come on in! read more

This place is great! We were here in Tampa at an AirBNB that was two blocks away from Leads. Walked there two mornings in a row.

I was in the area and looking for some good coffee to start my day. I stumbled upon this place and decided to give it a try. I ordered a hot sugar free vanilla latte.

All I can say is wow! We were driving in the area for an errand & had a yearning for coffee. Based on Yelp reviews, we tried Leads. I can honestly say this was the best coffee experience I've had in Tampa Bay. We drove into a parking lot, looked around, & then spied an unassuming coffee sign on a building. It didn't look like much from the outside. As soon as we entered, I was in awe. Whoever designed the interior of this shop gets an A+. It is beautifully done. In addition some awesome comforting music was playing. The woman making the coffee greeted us & we settled on butterscotch lattes. She brought them to our table & it was love at first taste. The lattes were extra delicious & flavorful with no disgusting sugary sweetness. It was all flavor. As we sipped & talked, I felt like I had been transported to a secret coffee shop. Leads is a calming oasis in the middle of an urban jungle. This place was so great, I'll drive 20 minutes again, bypassing all the others, to relish in the atmosphere & coffee of Leads. read more

Leads Coffeehouse has a unique blend of being a business space and productive study spot, accentuated by its charming rustic-modern aesthetic. Ive tried there espresso alone and in a hot and iced latte and each time wasnt very good, also the coffee took longer than expected to prepare with me being the only customer. I decided to try their in house-made vanilla syrup Which was quite sweet for my liking but helped the odd taste of the espresso. also, I wasn't a fan of the paper bags that was given to hold the pastries. It was shedding on my coffee, maybe be a concern if gotten into food. But On a brighter note, the pastries I indulged in were truly delicious. While I suspect they may be outsourced, but if they are in fact made in-house is quite commendable if so truly exceptional. I do like their concept i believe it's well executed however they should dial in their espresso machine or check their pressure gauges for the coffee to taste better. overall, a quiet, cute study spot. read more

Such an inviting and cute coffee shop! Wow! From the moment I opened the door and stepped in I felt cozy. I happened to stop by for the first time today 11/16 and they have a few Christmas decorations and fireplace videos on the TV. Making this easily one of the coziest coffee shops I've been in. The setup is also incredible and allows for independent work or collaborative work. There's couches, comfy chairs, regular tables and chairs, really covers all basis'. Decor was on point given the season but even without the seasonal decor, this place would look great. Very modern and chic. Service was great and the barista was friendly and patient. I ordered my go-to coffee drink for my first time at any coffee shop, which is a cappuccino. It was great! I do typically like my cappuccinos in a mug rather a to-go cup but didn't specify this, so not really a big deal for me. I also got an apple pie muffin, which hit the spot! I didn't notice the other food items on the board so I unfortunately didn't get anything else but I saw there were Cuban sandwiches amongst other handhelds as well as tacos?! Will definitely have to come back for a specialty coffee and more food! read more
