Excellent food and beautiful outside seating in a jungle type atmosphere. Loved the birds and chickens!

Make a reservation before hand, place gets really packed. JP our waiter was fantastic he was very patient and knowledgeable about the menu. The outside sitting area is beautiful just wish they had some fans or some form of cold air. The food came out quick and everything was delicious and tasted fresh. Everything on the menu was under 20$. I would definitely recommend this place! read more

Food was just OK, it is over priced for what your get, other colombian places the plates are much larger with more options and much cheaper... unfortunately the steak I got was TOUGH and fatty. I couldn't cut it with the steak knife. They were kind though and removed my plate off the bill. Also Lil note, Asked for over easy eggs and got sunny side up. I'd say my biggest complaint was price. $$$ read more

I absolutely loved this place! We sat outside and loved how it was set up and decorated. Kids were feeding the chickens which was really sweet to see. The music was good and so was the ambience and service. The food was delicious. We also had the empanadas which are not pictured but were so so good! I will definitely be back! Experience, food and ambience was 10/10 read more

This restaurant is by far one of my favorite places in Tampa. The ambiance is amazing, the food and coffee are to die for but my favorite part is the outside seating area. It's colorful and bright, it's authentic, they have chickens and birds but it's peaceful. The food is amazing, there isn't one thing on the menu that I'm not in love with. The customer service is great, the staff is friendly and welcoming and very accommodating. I recommend this place to everyone. read more

We checked this place out due to a Tik Tok video. They were extremely busy but we were not in a hurry and we certainly understand when a restaurant is working out the kinks. We were seated almost immediately despite being told it would be 30 minute wait. We were seated outdoors in the back which is so serene. The service was slow but was informed early on the reason behind this as they did not used to have table service. We were there a total of 2 hours. Most of the food was delicious, some was just ok. I would return to bring out of towners. They also had these adorable mini size roosters running around. read more

Arrived at this place and the hostess told me it was a 30-45 min wait, after an hour and 10 minutes of being in a mid August Florida weather she called my name and ask me if I wanted to seat inside or outside, I told her inside because I was melting so she said oh then it's another 30-40 minutes. If I would've known I had to wait an hour and a half to eat effin pandebonos I would've gone somewhere else. They don't write your number down to call or text when your table is ready and expect you to wait outside while you're seated. I really don't think this is the way you treat your costumers. Yes I am Colombian and no, hell no I won't be coming back!! read more

Lpcx Cafe - Extremely hot, not a special place to go - Bakeries Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Food was super good, a little overpriced but we enjoyed it all. We got seated outside in the back and it was a cute area with plenty of spacing in between the seating. The employees were really nice but lacked attention when it came to the bill. We waited for about 20 minutes with our food packed up before someone came up to check on us and give us the bill. read more

Unique outdoor dining. Food and Coffee authentic Columbian. Reservations a must on the weekend.

We visited this restaurant Saturday with hopes of finding a good Columbian place. Unfortunately I don't think we will return. The service was slow and wait staff inattentive. The food: Empanadas very good. If I go back will only order these. The consensus of table was the best of all the food ordered. Pan de bono Benedict - disappointing and very small. Breakfast sandwich - my daughter took one bite and left the rest. Told us not to bother tasting. Arepa - it was good but not great. Bandeja paisa - portion size was good and as you would expect had a variety of meats, rice, beans and a fried egg. My son in law enjoyed most of it but said he won't order again. Gave them 3 stars for the empanadas and restaurant decor. read more

Food was good. Service was great. Food quickly came out. Ambiance was great. Would come back.

Great service and breakfast was good. However the portions were small and overpriced. A bit disappointed after seeing their backyard in reality vs what's posted on social media. The eggs we had for breakfast didn't come from their range free chickens. read more

They have really good food and we really enjoyed it. I wish people spoke English so it would be easier to order.

This place is AMAZING!!! Best breakfast and coffee (Spanish latte) we've had in a long time. We will absolutely be back! read more

This one star is strictly for the service. First time here and extremely disappointed. We arrived a little after 12pm with no wait, few guests sitting inside. We were told that the kitchen is backed up 15-20 minutes which wasn't an issue & told to sit somewhere. We ordered a Mimosa and Chai latte which was watered down. We sat outside, waited then I decided to go inside & see if we could order yet only to see there's a line of 12-15 people deep. What the fuck? So the guy who initially talked to us I ran into and asked do I get in line or can I order with you he's like it is better to get in line and oh sorry I didn't mention this before. instead of being sorry he should have taken our order at that point or actually took our order when we entered and handed it off to the kitchen once things were manageable. Mimosa never came either, we closed out he tab & left. read more

Went here for the Argentina vs Colombia Copa America game, what a blast! Great energy, great service, great food. Even their apps were better food than say going to Chili's for a main meal haha. Will definitely head to this spot instead of a generic sports bar for any Latin-American tournaments. We had the sampler platter of apps that had the best fried chicken I've ever had at a sports bar, Colombian style empanadas (which are the best Latin variety in my opinion *they even had a kick to it with the sweet chili sauce they include on the side), greasy egg rolls and 1/2 fried plantains that were not my favorites (as they definitely need it to stay in the fryer a bit longer), but they were slammed so. Have a Colombian Águila beer for me too! Malty yet very refreshing even in the summer read more

I'm really confused about the other reviews of LPCX Cafe. It appears they have changed their menu. My friend and I decided to give them a try this morning, and EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING. We had the Calentado Breakfast and the LPCX Breakfast. We also each had a Cafe Con Leche. Everything was fresh and cooked to perfection. The Cafe Con Leches were a delight...and I'm a real coffee snob. The service was great, and everyone was super friendly. As soon as we sat down, the cafe really filled up with customers. Everyone seemed to be enjoying what they ordered. They also had a guitar player in the cafe area. I commented to my friend that he was just loud enough to hear, but we could hold a conversation. Loved it. I can't figure out what the deal is with the Bakery/Cafe situation. Are there 2 different businesses in the same building? If so, I think we were in the cafe because I did not see a bakery. They did offer a few baked goods in the cafe, but we already had too much food. They also have a menu available in Spanish and English. Everyone is welcome. Go here...it's a real hidden gem. read more

Mike S provided personable service, food and coffees were on point. LPCX is a great place to hang. Worth the drive from Valrico!

I ordered the bandeja paisa, pollo asado, and kids chicken strips with fries. Everything was poorly seasoned and the staff was not friendly. The pollo asado was dry and overcooked. The beef empanadas and passion fruit juice were delicious. read more

Came here after a yummy lunch at La Pequena Colombia. Ordinarily I would be all about dessert but I was too stuffed and it was just way too hot for me. I picked out a few Colombian breads to go and an Agua de panela which was refreshing. I think I made friends with everyone in the store asking them what they liked the most and learned a few more things as well. Quite fun. Out of the three breads, this time the almojabana was my favorite. Say that super fast. Talk about a tongue twister. Pan de bono is usually my favorite but here it wasn't as soft as I have had it. The pan de yuca was different but I like it softer. I'll be back if I am back in the area. I know what I like here but I also know where my fave pan de bono is. Don't forget to check this place out for all your Colombian eats. They seem to be more of a cafe than a sit down restaurant. They do also have sandwiches, appetizers, tapas, drinks, and coffees. They also have outside seating which Is a nice option in the non summer months. read more

This place was AMAZING. I got the perico wrap which was delicious, and my dad got the calentado with chicharron which was perfectly crispy. The café con leche was to die for. Don't even get me started on the mini waffles. I would rate this 6/5 stars if I could. GO HERE IMMEDIATELY! Very fair prices for the quality of ingredients and flavors. read more

I'm going 4 stars. I like the concept. Execution and service was a lil off for me but the food and baked goods were on point from chicharon to guava and cheese rings to the Tampeño sandwich with chips (their version of a Cuban). Some nice little touches with menu shape and accoutrements. I would've liked some hogao sauce to go with my empanadas and one waiter for the dine-in to-go and bakery counter customers was a stretch. But tasty Colombian foods and friendly staff. All in all, eating is believing. Next I will try the Bandeja Paisa Bowl. Pick up some baked goods or dine in and relax. Get some coffee or hot cocoa. Just don't be in a hurry.. :) read more

We went for brunch last month. The atmosphere in the open area in the back, open area is absolutely amazing. The place is beautiful and clean, super cool decor. As a Latina, I'm a big critic of the Latin food, it was ok, not my favorite. I did have an incredible paracuya juice! I say this constructively, if the food gets better, the business would boom! Also you have to order in the front as there is no waitressing, they just bring you the food which for some people may be inconvenient. read more

0 stars if possible, the wait time is not worth it. Do not waste your time; the area has plenty of better food and service restaurants. We started by trying to make a reservation, which is impossible; if you want a reservation, you have to do it weeks in advance. We live far away, so we called at 9 am, they don't make phone reservations, but we were told that before 12, the wait time was decent; we arrived at 11 am and were told the wait time was 30 min. At 11:30, they asked for 15 more minutes every 15 minutes. Absolutely ridiculous and unacceptable. After 1 1/2 hours waiting outside in the middle of the summer, we left. read more

I've been going to La Pequeña Colombia next door for some time and had recently heard good things from friends in the coffee crowd about the cafe next door. After visiting with my fiancée a few weeks back, LPCX quickly shot to our top Saturday/Sunday morning breakfast and coffee places. It's rare a place has both good coffee and breakfast options, let alone filling for the latter. There are truly few better combinations than a Colombian coffee with a bowl stacked with meat, eggs, plantains, avocado, rice, and beans. LPCX is a really chill, unique coffee shop & cafe which I'm excited to see grow. read more

Why 3 stars? Because it's nothing like the regular La Pequena. --- --- --- Then again, is it supposed to be? Here's my angle. The experience started off badly during my visit. I had been salivating for days over the anticipation of my long awaited return to the regular La Pequena. They do not have hours posted on their website, so I called ahead and found out they were open until 8pm. My friend and I agreed to meet there at 7. As I am walking up to the front door, they lock it. Um what? The man then comes out to tell me something (in very broken English) along the lines of, "twice a month we have maintenance crew come in and we have to close at 7." Me: "But....I just called an hour ago and was told you were open until 8." Him: "Oh, so sorry, so sorry - we have other restaurant next door - fast food." Great. So I head to La Pequena's fast food joint. It wasn't bad, it's just that I was looking forward to a juicy steak with some chimichurri sauce. Instead I had to settle for street food. I don't remember what I had, I just kind of pointed to the picture that looked the best. It was some kind of bread base with cheese sprawled all over the top. I did like their selection of Colombian treats and sodas, however, I don't think I will return. For those interested, it is open til 1am and 6am on the weekends, so that's nice. read more

I went to this place when it first opened, and it seemed like they were trying to decide what type of place to be - a restaurant or fast food takeout place. They appear to have developed into a happy combo of the two, and the inside was way nicer than I remembered. The front section has tables, and the back area is more bar-like with high tops and televisions. A server took my order at the front counter. I tried to get the Ceviche Mixto, but they had no tilapia, so they couldn't provide the fish portion. Instead I went with the SalchiExtra - salchipapas, but with the addition of potatoes, chicken and corn. It's funny how this dish tastes different from restaurant to restaurant. While I liked the hot dog element, the chicken was very dry and stringy, and the french fry base seemed to make up the majority of the platter. All in all, just okay. I'm sure I'll be back to try other items, since the convience of it being on my way home from work, and on the correct side of the road, is pretty hard to beat. read more

Since the sister establishment the next building over was a forty-five minute wait list, we decided to walk over to the "fast food" version to see what the difference is... Ummm, difference is; no bakery and smaller menu. But, all of the hits are still there-- for me, that being any form of Bandeja Paisa assorted meat platter. I ordered the Arriera platter, which is a Paisa platter with the addition of a quarter roasted chicken. It is the best Columbian roast chicken I have ever had, the flavor is bold and the skin is to die for. The sausage, beans, rice, and steak are just as good as the long wait place... and, there is still table service. So, I am really not understanding why the outside states "fast food," because the food was not any faster than any other dine-in joint. We were lucky, because the service was excellent during our visit. It is my duty of always annoy the crap out of the kitchen staff by requesting an arepa covered in cheese and baked open faced. It is so damn good dipped in the beans. You should annoy them by ordering it also, let's make it a thang. The passion fruit juice and the blueberry juice were tangy and not too sweet. read more

This place deserves a way better review. What they did inside is so beautiful for the location. I went for a concert of Christmas Venezuelan music and it was Amazing. Great service, great music, clean bathrooms. It is traditional latino which if you are not used to it then may give a bit of a culture shock. read more

This is definitely *not* fast food in the American megachain dollar menu sense. Instead, this is great food, made to order, with an emphasis on meat, more meat and even more meat, in a nice air conditioned oasis. The is a porch outside if you'd like to brave the heat but we stuck to the inside. Univision was playing in the big screen tv's and we were clearly the only English speakers in residence. But, who cares? The food was tasty, especially their home made Columbian sausage. read more

Yes, it's open. We came here for breakfast since they've moved it from the main restaurant next door. I was a big fan of breakfast when it was in the big restaurant. But I have issues with this place. First, no diet drinks. Really? It's 2017. What eating establishment doesn't offer at least one diet option to drink besides water? This one. The menu is very limited. I'd love to comment about how I enjoyed my meal, but I can't get over not drinking a Diet Coke. Ruined my morning. I'm not coming back. read more
