Crema's Take
“This beloved neighborhood spot treats every customer like family, with genuinely friendly owners who make you want to linger over their excellent espresso and fresh-fruit smoothies that have earned rave reviews from kids and adults alike. Beyond the impressive traditional coffee drinks, City Cafe shines with its full breakfast menu, house-made pastries, and surprisingly robust food offerings like their standout baked ziti—all at prices that feel fair for the quality and care you'll taste. It's the kind of place that starts as a quick coffee run and becomes a regular breakfast destination, whether you're meeting friends or fueling up before heading to work nearby.”

Very nice local restaurant. We came for breakfast…and came back again. The smoothies were rated by the kids as the best they ever had. It’s made with fresh fruits…. The breakfast pastries were very tasty. The bay bowl was made to order with eggs potatoes bacon and sausage. Very good. The couple that are here own the place…super friendly.
This is such a cute little shop. The people are super friendly and treat everyone like family. Love the food. Highly recommend
OMGOODNESS! A gem! Down the street from the court house. The food was delicious the espresso awesome the people who seemed like the owners very friendly I enjoyed listening to them talk to customers who were regulars. I would reccomend this place for a real taste of Tampa!
AMAZING! This cafe is absolutely the best thing ever! I was in Tampa for the Taylor Swift Eras Tour and was looking for a breakfast/brunch spot. We stumbled upon the City Cafe of Tampa and I loved it. I ordered the classic croissant along with the Tampa Bay wrap, both were so delicious and flavorful and left me feeling full. I also got the Beth Berry smoothie, oh my gosh it is to die for! Such great portions leaving me full and content! I definitely recommend this place for a healthy breakfast and brunch option. They also have vegetarian options! 🫶🏼 great place !!
Amazing food, good prices, great variety and astounding service. Support our local business owners and give City Cafe a try! I recommend their baked ziti with fresh salad and tea on the side. The plate fills you up but feels fresh and light at the same time. Give the baked ziti a try! Cheers! 🍻
