Coffee Uniting People - CUP
3408 S Dale Mabry Hwy, Tampa, FL
Crema's Take
“This South Tampa gem combines expertly crafted specialty drinks with a genuine sense of community, making it the perfect spot to linger with friends over a perfectly pulled espresso or cold brew. What truly sets Coffee Uniting People apart is their mission: all 38 employees across their three Tampa locations have disabilities, creating a workplace where meaningful employment meets exceptional hospitality. The baristas here take real pride in their work, whether you're ordering a traditional cappuccino or exploring their creative seasonal drinks, and the warm, welcoming atmosphere makes every visit feel like coming home.”
What to expect
Cold brew standout. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu.
