Crema's Take
“This downtown Tampa gem has earned its loyal following with genuinely kind baristas who make every visit feel like a conversation with a friend, paired with consistently excellent coffee that shines whether you're ordering a traditional espresso or a carefully poured pour over. The cozy, quirky space—complete with a charming cat wall and fresh bakery items—makes it an ideal spot to linger over a cup, though regulars note you might want to catch them on a cooler day. With 18 locations across the Tampa area and a commitment to grinding beans to order, Kahwa proves that a local roaster can scale without losing the personal touch that keeps people coming back.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings.

The team is awesome at this spot downtown. If you want a great coffee. This is the place to go. 😃
