    Cold brew
    Megan M.

    Came in here on a Sunday morning to get some work done. It was surprisingly crowded for a little neighborhood spot. They had parking along the street and in the dirt in front of the shop. I had to wait on line a bit to order. Service was very friendly. I got a cold brew and a guava cheese toast, both of which were a little pricy, but nothing unexpected for the area. Seated was also tough considering the crowd, I wouldn't recommend coming with a group. The coffee was very good, guava cheese toast was so so for the price considering it was just melted cheese on Cuban bread with guava sauce. I did come back a few weeks later and got the steak burrito, which was excellent. Overall, I like this spot and would come back. Just prepare as it does get busy on the weekends.

    Bought beans to take home for my first time, and so glad I did! The Lab has my favorite beans in Tampa and now I get to make them at home in St. Pete!

    My friend and I stumbled upon this cute Latin owned coffee shop and we were super stoked. As soon as we walked in, we were welcomed by some bad bunny. I knew the vibes and coffee were going to be great. They have an array of pastries and so many great coffee options. They also sell coffee beans and the lab merchandise in store. It looks like it's also pet friendly as they had dog treats all over the shop. I ended up getting the latte with condensed milk and my friend got the matcha latte with lavender syrup. We were both pretty happy with our drinks. It was just what we were looking for. The ambiance was truly cute in there and it looks like they have outdoor sitting as well. I would definitely be back to try other coffee options and bring my friends and family. The pastries also looked delicious! Thank you for the great service! I would recommend !

    This coffee shop was one of the best I've tried in a while. Wish I lived in Florida! The decor and vibe was so cool. The employees were SO chill and nice. Our lattes were all done very fast. I got a cinnamon roll which was SO yummy - I haven't had a big vegan one like that in forever. Their pastries looked tasty too! As for coffee I got an oatmilk caramel latte which was perfectly sweet and balanced.. I appreciate that they make their syrups in house too. Fantastic coffee and if I were a local I'd be here all the time. Absolutely recommend.

    Breakfast bagel with Asiago bagel

    5 Stars for seriously good coffee and a breakfast bagel sandwich that impresses! First thing I noticed is how friendly the staff is here. No pretentious or bored folks behind the counter. They helped me decide on the single origin espresso with my cortado and it was fantastic. I got one iced and then another hot one for the road. My girl, Sky, told me I couldn't miss out on the breakfast bagel sandwich with Asiago bagel and she was not overhyping it. It's decadent and exactly what I needed after a spin class! The bagels are made in-house and I wish I'd bought more to take home! Overall, a new favorite when I'm in Tampa!

    Bagel sandwich

    Amazing coffee!!! THIS is why I love yelp!! Super friendly staff, delicious coffee, and super yummy breakfast sandwiches!! A must try!!!

    Iced Vanilla Latte
    Maura C.

    My sister and I stopped by this weekend for a coffee run and I'm so glad we did. The first thing to note is that the bagels are amazing! We ordered a plain and everything bagel, but they also sold jalapeño cheddar and asiago bagels. I love that the bagels are made in-house and baked fresh daily. My sister ordered an iced vanilla latte, and she enjoyed her drink. Despite being a non-coffee drinker, I definitely see myself returning to this spot for their baked goods and friendly staff. There is both indoor and outdoor seating at this location and limited parking out front. Love the cozy and chill vibe of this local coffee shop!

    Rise and shine! I was there around 8am and the joint was jumping! It was amped-buzzy-as caffeinated as its menu. Yeah, there's a gym next door... yeah, most of the clientele is young... yeah, it was the pre-work crowd... and really busy... so all of that contributes to the "up and at 'em" vibe. But it's also the staff, they're going hard and happy. The location is also part of it. It's in a rejuvenated area of town. It's go-go in the mo-mo (morning).., and if you're dragging, you'll leave here wagging. There's a full menu here. I meant to get Cuban toast but for some reason, ordered an Asiago jalapeño bagel. The bagel was good-it brought the heat. The hot chai tea latte was pretty... but not my favorite. It seemed a little watery to me, but that's just my taste. No matter, there are lots of other things to try. And I will definitely be back. I want to sample more of the menu-and soak up more of that productive high energy feel. I was ready to conquer when I left! You can park in the few spaces out front-and I heard one of the staffers say you can also park in the gravel lot, on the west side of the gym next door. Happy days!

    Breakfast bagel sandwich on asiago with bacon
    Elle H.

    Stopped by to try out The Lab while on vacation. Staff is super friendly. The breakfast sandwich was BOMB, I would order sausage vs. bacon next time though. I got an iced vanilla latte with almond milk! I do wish they had SF options, but still amazing!

    Outdoor seating area
    Alexandros O.

    Steak burrito was good, the latte...was ok.But the outside seating area reminds construction site or dumpster; it has potential.

    Bagel sandwich and cold brew

    Love this place! Came here about a year ago, and finally came back to try out them out again. Just as awesome as it was the first time. Coffees imported from different countries. Small twists on some local favorites, make the biggest difference and set you apart. My favorite food item is sausage, egg, and cheese on either Cuban bread or the jalapeño Asiago bagel...chefs kiss. It's a smaller space than most coffee shops and parking is a bit limited, but it's worth going to over the larger chain coffee shops. Inside there is seating and outside there is addition seating in the back. It's a cool lab like/brewery that just makes you want to come back. The folks at the counter are all super nice and helpful. Love this place on a weekend just rolling out of bed and getting a good breakfast

    friendly customer service, and super fast! coffee is always on point, went with a matcha this time and it was well blended and creamy. super cute outdoor area for summer mornings

    Pour over, bacon egg and cheese pressed Cuban
    Becca J.

    Long line on a Saturday morning but line and service were both very quick. Limited seating inside for small groups (2-4 per table) and picnic tables out back. Seating seemed to turn over easily. Pour over coffee was great!! I got it black and it had really nice flavors on its own. The eggs in the pressed Cuban were a little rubbery but I would be interested to try their other food offerings.

I've heard about this place and we drive past it occasionally when visiting friends but never had the opportunity to go and we always wind up going to The Perfect Press (which is always packed so good luck finding a seat and a parking spot). The young girl that rang us up was super sweet and helpful. I'm picky about my coffee and the flavors and she informed me that picking oat milk over almond milk would be best because of the fat content causing it to be more creamier (I'm bit on texture too). Loved it!!!! Even the delicious and perfectly sized gluten free biscuit with honey on the side. The decor wasn't much and unfortunately there was a couple there (possibly a first date situation) where the guy was really loud so there wasn't anything to buffer their conversation like music or anything, but would return next time with a fully empty stomach to try something else from their food menu.

The wife got a cookie and yes it and everything else are made in house according to the clerk. Food to Value Ratio: Great, pricing was fair for the quality products we received!!!
