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.
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!
Amazing coffee!!! THIS is why I love yelp!! Super friendly staff, delicious coffee, and super yummy breakfast sandwiches!! A must try!!!
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!
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!
Steak burrito was good, the latte...was ok.But the outside seating area reminds construction site or dumpster; it has potential.
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
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 am absolutely surprised I've never written a review for one of my favorite coffee shops around Tampa! Been going here for years and probably just wanted to keep this for myself! Just opened up a new bakery to the right side that is delicious (serves pastries, fresh bagels and their coffee). Shh, the lines are shorter over here. I have NEVER been disappointed with the Lab and there is a reason this place has been open for so long. The manager is amazing (so nice, he'll chat with you whenever he gets a chance), knows how to hire the baristas, and it's just the best! Come for the vibe, and stay for the coffee! read more
Such a cool place! They are dog friendly too. Brought some family here for a quick breakfast and it did not disappoint! I got an iced latte with their pumpkin flavor and it was the perfect was to kick off the fall season! I also got one of their bagel sandwiches, which was very good! 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

Been coming here for years and it's still an amazing place. I pick up the different variety of beans so I can have my drip at home. Great for pour overs or a French press. Service and ambience is great. I can study or do some work or just have a meeting and relax. Going to miss this place when I move. 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 absolutely LOVE this coffee shop! If you are looking for amazing coffee in the area - this is where you will find it. I have been here several times and each time it's a great experience. Everything I have tried so far has been lovely. The customer service here is solid and helpful as well. 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

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. Rating: 5 out of 5 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

Firstly, I asked for a super hot latte and it was actually super hot! You wouldn't believe how many other places just don't listen. Thank you!!! Secondly, the bagel sandwich was awesome. I'd eat it every morning if I could. The staff is super chill and the vibes are very Portland-esque and cool. Overall a super solid coffee spot. read more

Finally was able to try The Lab and I am so glad I did! I ordered a bacon, egg, and cheese on a jalapeño cheddar bagel and it was phenomenal. I feel like it was fairly priced, given how big portion were. The bagel was full of flavor and could honestly be shared by two people. All the baristas we encountered were super friendly and helpful! This would be a great place to hangout if you WFH or to do schoolwork. Couldn't recommend this place enough and can't wait to go back! read more
