Really, really cool place. Absolutely incredible food, excellent hot tea and coffee, lots of drink options and local merchandise and supplies, really nice, quaint and cozy feel with cute decor, clean facilities, very friendly owners and staff. We had breakfast sandwiches (Early Cuban is highly recommended) and some of the absolute best breakfast potatoes/home fries we've ever tried. We found it by accident but think it's definitely worth going out of your way to visit.

Such a cute place!! The ladies working were friendly and inviting… Sandwiches were amazing !! Stopped in about 6pm & I ordered the BLT, Turkey and a Cuban. Food was so fresh and the bread was this large round slice of heaven. Speaking of Heaven , we also ordered a huge slice of chocolate cake and a banana muffin and both did not disappoint. They had the most adorable cat (their mascot) just prancing around sweet as can be. When I’m in Tampa again, I’ll definitely be stopping in for that BLT again, hopefully some chocolate cake too 😊

Very cute and relaxed store guaranteed to make you nostalgic, with great Cubans and other sandwiches at reasonable prices. Interesting, niche sodas and local sauces as well. WiFi never seems to work when I’m there, but worth using a hotspot to enjoy the vibes. A cute grey cat hangs out outside too :)
