The Lab was highly recommended by coffee enthusiasts, and I can see why. They were pulling shots of a lighter roasted single origin bean, and the espresso was tremendous. The shop was busy, but the wait was short and comfortable. Vibes were great, and this was the best coffee we had on our trip through Florida. I can't wait to return, and I'm planning to order some beans online to brew at home. read more

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 ! read more

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. read more

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. read more

The bagels here are amazing!! Best bagel I've had in Tampa. Perfect texture. Crisp crust and chewy inside. Right level of toasting.

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! read more

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! read more

I have coffee is one of my favorite spots in Tampa. They are very consistent each time I get the caramel ice latte and it is the same every single time that is very hard for a coffee shop to do. They have very good coffee and they make their own caramel in house. They are very quick and their service is awesome too. Ambience is a little fun. They have the skeleton that's been there for years. I really enjoyed this place. read more

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! read more

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! read more

Excellent coffee delicious bagel ! Asiago was my favorite but they are all good ! Great fast service good location

Delicious foods, kind staffs, clean shop. willl go back soon. thank you for kindness

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 read more

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. read more

Come here if you love cold brew!! They had two brew options with different flavor undertones, which told me everything I need to know- they take their cold brew seriously! It was fairly priced and had a loyalty program based on visit counts. Service was so quick and I loved the darker pirate decor. Definitely one of the best options that i've tried in Tampa so far and will absolutely be coming back! read more

Coffee was burnt and the service was incredibly slow even with barely anyone else there. The guy kept mixing up everyone's orders. It is dingy inside definitely not a place you want to sit and work at or hang out with friends. I watched him make everyone's drinks. There was no cleaning of the cups or spoons in between making peoples drinks and the place was dirty. read more

Best freshest coffee in all of tampa.. so smooth and haven't had anything better. The breakfast bagel with sausage egg and cheese was so hot, fresh and the bread was soft and chewy/doughy but also crunchy where it needed to be. Was extremely satisfied. read more

Stopped by The Lab Coffee for a quick breakfast and tried their egg and cheese bagels (no meat) along with an iced matcha with ube and café con leche syrup, and an iced latte with ube. The matcha drink was a bit too sweet for our taste but that's probably on us for picking 2 sweet syrups The iced latte, though, was excellent! You can tell they use good espresso, and the ube had a nice hint of vanilla - perfect for ube lovers. The bagels were tasty, with good options like, Asiago, and jalapeño cheddar, but we felt they were a little overpriced. We asked for no meat, and it didn't bring the price down. We paid close to $40 for two bagels and two drinks, so it's definitely not a budget stop. Ambience was chill, laid-back, and had a cool industrial vibe. Overall, we'd give it a 7.5/10 and we feel it's worth giving a try if you're in the area. read more

Stopped by The Lab Coffee in Tampa and it was a solid experience all around. I tried the iced matcha latte with café con leche and ube syrup (4/5)--creative and refreshing. Also had the iced latte with ube syrup and whole milk (4/5)--smooth and subtly sweet. Food-wise, the asiago bagel with Monterey Jack cheese, chipotle mayo, and egg was a great combo (4/5). The jalapeño cheddar version had a nice kick, though slightly less balanced for my taste (3.8/5). Bagels were perfectly crisp on the outside and soft inside--exactly how they should be. read more

I have been trying out locally roasted beans for my at home espresso set up and the coffee beans here are perfection. I am definitely a returning customer for as long as I will be in Tampa because their espresso beans are just spectacular! read more

AMELIA walked me through the coffee menu and suggested the SPRODA, a coffee blend with Liquid Death sparkling water. A great find, and it put a sparkle in my day. The guava cheese toast sounds like a great twist on Tampa-Cuban food culture. Great ambiance here with holiday eggnog and doggie treats available. The indoor seating includes accessible low top table and some high tops. The outdoor fresh air seating includes picnic tables and table and moveable chairs, all umbrella-covered, some on pavers, some on mulch. I walked over to the coffee roasting area, and got a good look at the roaster, which seems to be on holiday break today. Great service! Great offerings! read more

We found this place on Yelp and we couldn't wait to try it based on the reviews and menu. It's tucked away in a neighborhood with large office buildings and apartment buildings, right next to a CrossFit studio so not a typical place to find a coffee shop! Not much ambience but the coffee is great- I had the lavender latte which was delicious along with the bacon and egg breakfast bagel, also delicious. Quick service and great vibes. I definitely recommend it! read more

Said it opened at 7, we walked up at 7:30 with the worker (who i think was the owner) just chilling in her car out front. Location is terribly inconvenient for slow service. Not even a good cafe to chat or work in. This place has no perks, just a waste of time. read more

Great spot to grab a coffee - the art on the walls is really cool and definitely a conversation starter. Service was fast and friendly, and the coffee itself was fantastic. We also ordered breakfast bagel sandwiches - great portion sizes, one of these could be shared and still fill you up. They're packed with flavor, one of the top 3 best bagel breakfast sandwiches I've had in Tampa. read more

Tried out the iced vanilla matcha latte and was honestly disappointed. There wasn't much vanilla flavor to it and I found that it lacked sweetness. I've always been pretty pleased with other things I've ordered, so this was a bit of a let down since I've really been wanting to try out their matcha. Also found that there was a lot of settling of the matcha powder, which I understand is inevitable, but seemed like it wasn't mixed that much. read more

Came to The Lab Tampa for breakfast last weekend and it did not disappoint. Service was quick, attentive and friendly. The guy behind the counter was quick to answer any questions we had as a new customer. The ambiance was fun and hip. I also didn't mind them playing the new Taylor Swift album, that was a plus. My oat milk latte was great and my breakfast bagel sandwich was so yummy and satisfying. The jalapeño cheddar bagel is a must! Overall, I'll be back and highly recommend.

Typical coffee bar but there are some homeless like men that wipe down the tables while you are sitting there. I was not a fan of them wiping down my food area while I sat there - especially because it was unclear if he worked there or not. It is difficult to figure out who works here and who is just hanging around sometimes. Pricing for all menu items is typical. Outdoor seating and WiFi make it a great option to work! read more
