    We ordered the hangover burrito and the breakfast sandwich. the sandwich we got the Asiago bagel which was fantastic. at the price point I would've expected the bacon or sausage to be included and the egg was a bit light (probably 1x egg vs 2 eggs). the burrito was tasty but again was lacking in eggs and was more tortilla than filling. The size of the burrito itself for the price was probably not worth it. When I hear breakfast burrito the size of breakfast burritos I can get on the west coast with eggs and filling pour g out and probably the next size of tortilla. Flavors and bagel were great but don't be stingy on the eggs.

    The Lab in Seminole Heights is a great little coffee spot. The staff is really friendly and makes you feel welcome right away. My latte was delicious. I had the bagel sandwich with chipotle mayo for breakfast, which was very good and had just the right amount of flavor. My friend ordered the burrito and liked it too. I've heard the empanadas were amazing so I can't wait to try next time! Prices are a bit on the higher side and the line can get long, but the coffee and food are worth it. Plan to take it to go as there is very limited seating. Overall, it's a good spot to grab a coffee and breakfast.

    Absolutely phenomenal, best meal I had in Tampa. Drip coffee, their breakfast sandwich, and a chocolate chip cookie. Simple yet all executed to a A+ level. Friendly staff and cool inside. Great stuff!

    A gem in Seminole Heights. I stopped in on a whim because a coffeeshop across town didn't open til 11am. Everything happens for a reason and this confirms it- I've been back 4 times in 2 weeks and it's my new favorite spot. I do like a strong coffee and their iced latte with cafe con leche is what I would recommend... I can't bring myself to switch my order. The sausage, egg, and tots empanada is also a standout served with your choice of salsa verde or chipotle mayo. I get the salsa for a slightly "lighter" option and it is so tasty and my little treat after hitting the gym. So happy I stumbled upon this shop and will continue to drop in whenever I'm in Tampa. Weekends are pretty packed and I had to park in an adjacent lot, but the staff is always on top of it and the wait isn't terrible. Definitely come and support this local spot!

    Incredibly consistent coffee, service and food. I order the cafe con leche either iced or cold and the coffee beans just make the coffee so smooth and not too bitter. My food is always fresh and hot with a good roasted bread and crunch on the outside and doughy on the inside. James is the guy who tends to make all my coffee and that guy is just so nice excellent customer service always smiling.. makes me feel welcome. Really enjoy coming here for a good vibe, great coffee and food.

    This place is always busy, but in the best way! The bagels are fresh and just the right blend of toasted and chewy. They give the perfect amount of cream cheese spread for the bagel. I usually don't go for a standard vanilla latte, but the coffee was so good and had the perfect amount of sweetness to where it wasn't overpowering. This was my second time here and I will definitely be back!

    Service was good. Coffee is smooth & Id say it's a pretty good spot. We were basically in & out, especially for how busy they were.

    Always an amazing experience. Staff even remembers your drink orders and your names. Even with a lot of people it's never a long wait.

    I really loved this spot. There is plenty of seating inside and out! I honestly didn't expect it to…read morebe a big of a space as it is. Waiting in line was kinda fun because they have a few things to look at such as their roaster where they make their own beans which is pretty cool. I ended up buying a bag of their beans and it also comes with a free black or americano coffee. Or if you don't want an extra cup you can add an extra shot for free into a drink you bought. Ordered the strawberry matcha and honey shaken espresso. The matcha is super good and it definitely makes my list of matcha places. The coffee was good but since there were three shots, my husband drank it cause it was too strong for me. Also got the breakfast sandwich was was a bit spicy but SO GOOD!! It's got a lot of flavor! They allow cute doggos in the place so it's fun seeing them come in lol Parking is not the best as you either park in the garage or the one directly across from sparkman which is paid so expect to add that in your coffee trip. This place is worth the visit.

    Was out in Tampa for a couple of working days and this coffee shop was right in the office building…read moreright near sparkman warf. I enjoyed my multiple lattes. They kept me active all day! Overall they were flavorful. One of the times I feel they didn't make it right and it was bitter and not enough milk. That's one of the 5 or so coffees I had here. Then I had one almond croissant and one baklava croissant. I'd say the baklava once was great with the flavor seemed to be baked in. The almond one was also fine but had more evident paste spread on it.
