Crema's Take

Tucked inside a business building in Tampa, Tempo Cafe is a hidden gem for those seeking exceptional service alongside satisfying sandwiches—regulars rave about the staff's genuine warmth and their ability to remember orders, while the signature Cuban sandwich and chef's specials are worth seeking out. It's the kind of neighborhood spot where you feel immediately welcomed, even if the unassuming location takes a little detective work to find, making it perfect for a quick, quality lunch or breakfast with people who actually care about getting your order right.

I got a turkey Reuben and it was barely warm, bread was very soggy, and the cheese didn’t melt, so I know it wasn’t like it sat there and cooled off. It wasn’t “bad” but for $13 with a can of soda and no side it is a bad value. Clean place, friendly staff, just feels like an afterthought selling barely warm GFS or RD food.

The server Mamhet is amazing. Try the Chefs special, you wont regret it.

Tempo Cafe is a fantastic lunch spot! The staff is incredibly friendly and consistently provides exceptional service. I’m a regular, and they always remember my preferences, it’s the little touches like that that make this place truly special.

Delicious small sandwich shop inside a business building. A bit difficult to find if you don’t work in the building but it worked out. Nice cuban sandwich, great ladies working.

Today was my first visit of many to come. It’s a small quick bite type of sandwich shop. They have a decent menu for breakfast and lunch. Today I had their signature Cuban Sandwich and it was very good. It’s more of a panini style sandwich with cuban garnish and toppings. The place is clean, the sandwiches are made to order and the team is very friendly. Overall this is a good place to grab a quick lunch. Good luck!
