Fast Jacks
601 S Harbour Island Blvd, Tampa, FL
Crema's Take
“This sidewalk counter-service spot trades cozy vibes for prime walkability and waterside views, making it ideal for grabbing a quick breakfast sandwich or bagel en route through Tampa. The portions are genuinely generous for the price, and while the coffee and service are solidly competent rather than exceptional, the standout here is the breakfast food—reviewers consistently praise the scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, and generous portions that deliver real value. If you're in the neighborhood and want a no-frills, satisfying breakfast bite with a nice spot to eat outside, Fast Jacks delivers the goods without pretense.”

It's on the sidewalk so the atmosphere is a zero pretty much. Service was pleasant. Breakfast sandwich was huge..on a bagel. Good bagel. Price was reasonable for the size of the portion.
Everything about this place was okay - from the coffee to employees. Honestly, the location is the best thing about this place (good view and walkable area) It is very bold for a buisness to have a sign out front saying "WORLDS BEST COFFEE AND BREAKFAST" but it definitely caught my eye so I stopped in. The employees were behind the counter and didn't stop their conversation to take my order. I waited about 15 mins for an iced coffee when I was the only one there.. disappointed considering the sign out front.
Ordered ham egg and cheese on a croissant. I added some photos it was bad but was great basically and egg omelet on bread with very little ham .. it took me almost to the end to actually get any ham . Filled me up but lack of attention to a good sandwich isn’t something your going to ding here.. stick to the coffee and the muffins
I wish I had gotten pictures of the food because it was absolutely delicious! Fast Jack's is a counter service take out with outdoor seating near the water. Breakfast options include eggs, breakfast sandwiches, pastries, coffee. We got the bagel sandwich with egg and cheese and a scrambled egg plate with Cuban toast and potatoes. It was cooked well and flavorful. We returned several times for snacks and the chocolate muffin is drool worthy. We got gelato once and that was delicious as well. The counter servers were always friendly and food comes up quick. There is plentiful seating on two levels. I didn't realize this at the time but coworkers who went there at dinner time were able to get burgers and chicken tenders that are served at Jackson's next door for a much better price. Same food, just take out.
Excellent scrambled eggs with bacon, onion and pepper! They were done just right and mouth watering! And the price makes it such value for money. There's the option of takeaway or having it outside the place
