The flavors of the coffee are fun, but just like any coffee shop, you may get a not so great latte sometimes, and when you're paying $10-$11, your tolerance for sub-perfection is low. This location is super convenient for us and even has a drive through, yet we find ourselves avoiding it every time when it's time to choose a coffee spot. Nothing bad to say about the service or environment - all fine.

Grain and Berry is my go-to spot for healthy yet filling foods! They cater to most dietary needs…read morei.e. vegan, gluten-free, dairy free, vegetarian etc. and they have a pretty incredible menu. Their savory menu items are are served with plant based meats and can be ordered as either flatbreads or quesadillas. You can can also order either with cauliflower or broccoli crust. Personally I recommend the quesadillas because they're extra cheesy. We tried the Kickin Chicken and Let's Go Pesto both of which I'd order again. Their bowls are especially not to be missed!! Each bowl comes with your choice of base (açaí, pitaya, spirulina, or yogurt) and a variety of toppings. I ordered the spirulina Feed The Soul Bowl which came topped with, granola, kiwi, strawberries, pineapple, honey and hemp seeds.

The coffee: I got dark roast with 2 shots of espresso, was the best cup of coffee I've had in Tampa in years. So smooth and dark. Hence my coming back a second day. The 2 people's working Saturday and the one man working today were so warm and welcoming. It was a delight to chat with them. I sat outside and enjoyed my coffee and croissant and watching the world go by. I'm haven't been a regular at a coffee bar lace in years, but I think Blind Tiger is my new spot.

They have a lot of different syrup options, as well as alternative milks. The bakery items in the front case and the food items to order are SO good.

All staff have always been really pleasant and patient (even when I've been undecided on what to order). It's an eclectic cozy space with a good amount of seating! There's also outdoor seating, making it dog friendly! You might not get front row parking, but there is extra parking in the back, so it's never been an issue.

Today was my first visit to Grind Coffee Bar, and it will probably be my last. The place itself…read moreisn't bad overall, but the service experience was extremely frustrating. We chose to sit on the patio and waited for nearly 30 minutes without a single employee checking on our table. The line inside was all the way to the door, so at first we assumed someone would eventually come by, take our order, or at least acknowledge us. Instead, we watched multiple tables on both sides of us receive service while our table was completely ignored. Eventually, we ordered through the QR code on the menu. What wasn't clear is that QR code orders are apparently treated exactly like takeout orders. When our first item was ready, it was handed to us in a plastic container inside a bag. We explained that we were dining in, not taking food to go. I specifically asked a staff member named Graham if the remaining 3 dishes could simply be served on regular plates. He told me "that wasn't possible and that QR code orders automatically come in to-go containers". That explanation made very little sense considering we were sitting at a table in the restaurant. A few minutes later, one of my friends flagged down another server, who had no issue arranging for the food to be served on actual plates. That inconsistency was honestly mind-blowing. To make things even stranger, one coffee arrived in a ceramic mug while the rest came in disposable to-go cups. Nothing about the service felt organized or logical. As for the food, it was fine. Not bad, but nothing particularly memorable or worth making a special trip for. Given that I drove about an hour and paid tolls to visit, I definitely won't be making that drive again. I understand places get busy, but basic service still matters. If you're asking customers to tip when ordering through a QR code, serving dine-in food on actual plates instead of plastic takeout containers doesn't seem like an unreasonable expectation. There are simply too many other coffee shops with better service for me to return. 3 stars because the atmosphere was decent and the food was okay, but the service was disappointing from start to finish.

We were welcomed and seated right away, and brought menus to look over. There was a bit of an issue up front in that the server did not speak English, so questions we wanted to ask was referred to the hostess that did speak English. We got our usual waters, bottled this time. There was a really nice buffet with a nice variety of dishes, but at $40 a bit expensive for the four of us just wanting to sample some dishes. So we decided to order three different dishes to share. At the buffet I noticed a wonderful smelling Bean and Pork Stew, so I decided to order that. My wife ordered a Cheesesteak Sub that was huge. And we wanted to save room for dessert since the display case had a nice selection of cakes. After a bit, our dishes came hot and tasty. The Bean and Pork Stew with rice was fantastic. Just had to pick through a bit since there were lots of bones. The Cheesesteak Sub was the hit, big enough to be cut into about eight pieces to share. I only had one of the pieces and concentrated on the Stew. Then, of course, we had to have a Chocolate Bundt Cake, which was moist and terrific. You should definitely check it out. A nice surprise for little Oldsmar. Just be patient with the server, unless you speak fluent Portuguese.

It's eccentric decor and theme makes it delightfully quirky and fun to visit. Understanding that good boba tea (Ten Ren being the baseline) is hard to come by in the Tampa Bay area, Manga Tea is pretty decent. At the time of our visit, the boba-rista was incredibly friendly and genuine - her welcoming attitude definitely suited this business - so kudos to her! The Tiger and standard milk teas served their purpose, but the fruit smoothies stood out pretty well. The menu is a mix of traditional flavors and the neo-bubble drink trend (more toward the latter). There is a decent amount of sitting room at which soft-cover manga publications are situated. Aside from the manga reads, there is also a free single-player arcade and nice pay-to-play claw machine. There are also a few non-beverage/food items for purchase for those anime fans. This is definitely a great hangout spot for those that just want to enjoy other like-minded anime/manga purveyors. I wouldn't be surprised if Manga Tea hosted some local/mini ComiCon event as it would be an ideal venue. Overall, an incredibly kid-teen friendly and safe environment to grab your boba drinks from.
