This is my go to spot every time Im in Ybor. Our very first visit there was in October and I fell in love with their Cuban coffee and Cuban sandwich. The staff used to be friendly, but last few times visiting it has slightly declined. I started noticing around April or May, the staff is completely new, none of the prior, friendly staff has been there and everytime Ive been in since there has been a new employee waiting on me. The new staff almost seem robotic. They take your order, give you your drink/food, make zero conversation, they dont smile or show any emotion, and they just walk away, almost as if they disappear into a back room or something. Honestly it seems as though you are bothering them simply by walking in the door. Its a very negative vibe. I still love the Cuban Coffee and food... I just enjoy it while sitting at their outside tables instead of inside.

Myself and two friends walked in after seeing the $2 mimosa advertisement on the sidewalk outside and saw no one at the bar, so we inquired at the front counter as to whether or not there was open seating and table service. We were greeted with what seemed to be contempt at our confusion. Then, the mens restroom urinal failed to flush, the soap dispenser was an empty condiment dispensers, and there were no paper towels. I ordered a Guinness, which was served warm, in a warm glass, and poured wrong. Then, upon checkout I continued to feel as if we were inconveniencing the staff. I hardly ever leave negative reviews, but I have to say I would avoid this place like the plague if you are looking to relax indoors in Ybor.

Walked in with a friend on St. Patricks day around 2. Had seen a sandwich board with specials on it a block away. Sat down and asked about specials, the bartender, without even looking at us informed the specials were on the board behind us. Looked at the board, which said $2 Irish flag shots & $3 drafts. My friend ordered a Guinness draft, and I, a Irish flag and bud light. Neither employee knew how to make the shot, and it took both of the about 10 minutes to pour the draft. Ended up paying $8 for the draft, of which they only had 2 taps, so not sure what was $3. Place was not very busy, yet, they acted as if we were troubling them to serve us. Would encourage others not to go there.

Oddest Joffreys Ive ever visited but in a good way. Its a quasi- bar/coffee shop. There is plenty of seating and the venue makes a great place to grab your laptop and work there for a few hours while sipping some good brew. Their coffee (decaf) was extraordinarily good, I was not expecting that and they have a great selection of coffee choices. Additionally there is a refrigerated display with pastries,cakes and cookies. They all looked appealing but I did not try any.

Im a regular for a reason! They have great food and even better coffee! Its a quiet and cozy joint that can be utalized as a hangout or study area. I love Jeoffreys and their products! Only place I get my coffee from during those long work days! Love yall!

0/2 on experiences here so far. Ive seen someone new behind the counter on both visits and neither has looked happy--I guess that matters? Just seemed a little annoyed. My breakfast sandwich was pretty good but there are much better options in Ybor.

Located near the HCC campus, this coffee and tea cafe is a cozy place to have lunch, and a great "hangout" at night. The cafe is a part of the Ybor City experience. Food is great, ambiance is coxy, and the beer selection is great!

Just a coffee, or a little Something-something plashed in your coffee. GREAT tiramisu!! Surprised. Fix the broken fans, clean up the interior a little and it could a great eclectic place for an extra little surprise in the coffee.

I LOVED talking to the owner! Shes was great. She made sure that I got exactly what I needed for my diet as well and it was so good!! My hubby got regular coffee that night and of course a piece of cake which was wonderful!!

Had a positive review first but I have to change it because since then the service has changed for the worst. Nice venue but the energy can be so negative and repulsive it feels like no one wants you there in the first place.

We came here for coffee before starting a food tour. The coffee was amazing! The staff were nice and we werent going to eat but ended up splitting a cheese tostada. Which was delicious! I loved the people walls!

This place is hit or miss. I am a weekly customer and Im not sure why. The coffee sometimes is either too strong or too weak. The baked goods are often stale and not fresh. I hope they will step it up.

Place is a little dump....we came for wine and wrap Wednesday. It was supposed to be 3.00 wrap but it was 6.99 and one specific type. I felt deceived.....disappointed too. Wont come back

This place is great! Giant coffee bar atmosphere, good food and yummy coffee. Plus I love the staff. They always remember me! I definitely suggest trying them if you havent before.

Great place to go and hang out with a cup of coffee or a glass of beer. Perfect if you want to go out and walk around Ybor but dont really want to go to a bar to eat or drink.

This is definitely the best coffee shop in Tampa. The food is wonderful, the coffee is perfect and you cant find a better staff. Its a must if your in the ybor city area!

The food is good but can be a bit pricey. I dont know how busy it is thoughtout the day because I have only been there early in the morning.

Joseph Helenek

The staff and atmosphere are very inviting and the menu is not overpriced at all. Great food and shakes, The Cuban espresso shake is a must!!

Tom Peters

Usually like to try local shops but this time the Bucks would have been better and $9 for a med latte and std house brew was over priced

Nicholas Costa

Coffee is amazing! Stopped in quick and grabbed a black coffee and it was fantastic. Will stop by again when Im in the area.
