The interior is very cozy and welcoming with plenty of spots to sit down and enjoy your brew, even with games to play while relaxing. The staff was extremely friendly and gave helpful recommendations on what bakery items to get, although I was talked into buying three of them lol! The dream bar was my favorite, but the chocolate chip cookie and the lemon blueberry muffin were also just as delicious. Caramel cold brew with cold foam is a must try. Needless to say, Pour Bear will have a new frequent customer!

I've been here a handful of times and have yet to have a bad experience or try something I haven't liked. Their seasonal menus always have fun options that are really good, and they manage to usually have some unique spins on what most coffee places usually go with. One of the best I've tried has been their "Boo" Brew- a marshmallow cold brew. They have baked goods as well that I believe they get from a local bakery- it can be hit or miss. Some are fantastic while others fall flat so it just depends what you choose there. Lastly, the vibe here is what really gets me. Walking in you feel transported in time to the 60s & 70s- everything they have seems to have been thrifted or bought secondhand somehow. They have a lot of the art hung up on the walls for sale if you so desire. My mom and my grandma have both said the decor makes them nostalgic of how their families' houses were decorated growing up, if that gives any hint to the atmosphere. It's so fun. Definitely give this place a try!

They have an extensive drink menu, but my go-to is the coquito latte. It's a delicious mixture of evaporated milk, cinnamon, and espresso.

Today I was given a sample of a future breakfast item, the oatmeal. It was creamy and had a great touch of cinnamon. If you are in need of a warm atmosphere and amazing coffee, please give Castro's Cafe a visit!

Prices are on par with other coffee shops we have been to and the choices are plentiful. We each had a pastry, I had a brownie which was a nice size and tasty & my husband had the oatmeal cream pie that had to be one of the tastiest oatmeal cookie I have ever had. For drinks my husband ordered an Americano with room for cream and I had the Banoffee Toffee Latte ( so yummy!) Many dairy and non dairy options are available including lactose free milk. Staff was extremely personable like an old friend and the dining area clean. Noise level was low where you can have a conversation and not feel like you have to talk loud to be heard. Restrooms are outside the actual location and parking is located on the street. I would definitely recommend and when in the area would come back for sure.

From day one, the experience has been nothing short of amazing. The food is consistently delicious, and the lattes are easily some of the best we've ever had crafted with care and always hitting the mark. But what really sets this place apart is the people behind it. The owners are genuinely incredible, warm, welcoming, and intentional about making sure every customer feels taken care of. You can feel the love and pride they put into their business, and it shows in every detail. It's places like this that remind us why supporting small, Black-owned businesses matters so much. Every visit leaves us appreciating it even more. If you're in the area and haven't stopped by yet, you're missing out.

I've tried many times to replicate…read moretheir tea, but they must have magic water, because even with Tabitha's recipe it's just not the same. Their menu changes seasonally and each seasonal special is always scrumptious. The menu staples that you must try: cheesy chicken crunch, any daily tea, smoked gouda pumpkin dip, windsors, broccoli salad, and the heavenly scones that come with Devonshire cream on the side. The scones come complimentary with your meal, but our family enjoys them so much we call ahead to warn them we're coming and order extras. It doesn't matter what flavor scone they're serving, they are all delicious; cooked perfectly, soft and crisp at the same time. I've yet to find any place with scones that can replicate or out do these, and since this place is over 1300 miles from my home, believe me I've tried. The scones here are so delicious that we even had them served at our wedding. Along with the daily tea they also offer a daily soup and daily quiche. This is one of the few places I've ever been where I've always been satisfied with whatever is coming out of the kitchen. They also offer dessert, but between appetizers, our meal and the many scones we have, there is hardly ever enough room left for dessert. Beyond the amazing food, this place gives back to their community. They participate in many of the local events, and promote the city. They host special events such as tea with the Easter Bunny, Santa Clause, and Mrs. Clause, and these events have been major memory making events in the childhoods of our family. We love any event they're hosting. When our father was going through cancer treatments and couldn't make it to join us, as he usually would, they sent us home with a goodie bag with well wishes written on it for him. They are truly good people that value the relationships they build with their customers. We as customers were just as emotional as one of the servers when they were leaving to retire, which is just one example of the bonds built here. While this is a tea room and fully supports any fancy tea attire, you can also come as you are, they're happy to see you either way. They also have many hats through out the tea room that can be worn or used while there. In addition to food, they also have a retail area and various retail items throughout the tea rooms within the building. My favorite time to shop here is Christmas time because they have the cutest aprons which are perfect for making Christmas cookies with the family. They also sell the tea that they make, pre made or just the tea itself (loose leaf or in bags), they're not gatekeeping, they want to share the goodness. If you want to enjoy the Florida weather, you can opt to dine outside on the front porch. No matter which spot you choose to take it all in, you won't be disappointed. We come home to this area nearly 3-4 times a year and we never come back without making sure we visit this tea room. My only warning is that the neighbors next door aren't cool and they won't share the obviously available parking, so make sure to pay attention to the posted parking signage when choosing your spot. We also recommend a reservation if you plan to come with a larger party since the different tea rooms can limit where you can be seated, based on availability. I hope you'll love this place as much as
