Little Tina
507 N Tampa St, Tampa, FL
Crema's Take
“Little Tina captures that effortless bohemian coffee shop charm with a genuinely skilled espresso program and thoughtfully crafted specialty drinks that keep people coming back—though the experience can be hit-or-miss depending on who's behind the counter. The aesthetic is Instagram-worthy and perfect for a quick meetup or slower afternoon, with plenty of seating if you're willing to sacrifice comfort and connectivity. The coffee itself shines brightest here, especially their tonics and fresh espresso shots, making it worth a visit if you're chasing quality drinks over a reliable sit-down workspace.”

First time trying Little Tina’s today and must say that the coffee, pastry, and breakfast bagel were delicious but unfortunately was not able to have a good experience due to the front staff guy yelling at the kitchen lady. When we walked in the guy seemed very overwhelmed because he was short staffed but regardless of that we think he should have been more professional and not yelled at the kitchen lady across the cafe when she also was all alone in the kitchen preparing sandwiches for everyone. It made what could have been a great experience very uncomfortable and I think he should take some training and management/ owner need to staff better so this situation can be avoided. We felt bad for the kitchen lady since it seems the food was coming out faster than the coffees.
Visited for a quick meet up, very nice aesthetic and atmosphere. Reminds me of a college town study cafe. The drinks are very well made I usually get tonics and the one here was rather tasty. Service was great and quick. We were saying we would regular here if we moved in the area, it’s next to a city square park and it adds to the experience.
Very BoHo vibes that make for a nice atmosphere. There is lots of seating but the benches are not comfortable and there are no outlets so don’t plan on working from here for long. Coffee was good and so was the food. The service was lacking though, one person was sick and coughing everywhere while the other was unwelcoming and unkind.
Disappointing experience. The cashier girl with long dark hair had an attitude for no reason, even though I was polite and smiling the whole time. She didn’t even repeat our order like they usually do in every coffee shop. We ordered iced latte with light vanilla and hot latte with ONE pump, but both drinks came out way too sweet, even though I asked her please just one pump. She clearly didn’t pass it to the barista. My husband and me both hate too sweet coffee. Rude and careless service.
We got caramel lattes and the espresso was so fresh and tasted amazing! However- the bacon, egg & cheese was subpar. It tasted like it was just frozen and microwaved. The atmosphere is chic and employees are fantastic, but the food definitely needs refining.
