Felicitous
11706 N 51st St, Tampa, FL
Crema's Take
“Felicitous is a beloved neighborhood gem near USF where thoughtfully crafted espresso drinks and pour-overs share the spotlight with genuinely exceptional housemade pastries and panna cotta that's worth a special trip. The vibe strikes that perfect balance between productive—it's genuinely laptop-friendly and quiet enough for focus—and genuinely welcoming, filled with the kind of warm chatter that makes you feel like you've found your people. They roast their own beans, serve real breakfast and lunch, and create the kind of reliable, safe haven that keeps regulars coming back with deep gratitude.”

I have all the gratitude for Felicitous coffee shop for being a reliable, close, safe, friendly, quiet coffee kind of spot. The quietness of light chitter chatter, banter in between busy work. You feel safe to complete projects or get cozy on the couch for a catch-up, a wonderful environment, highly recommended!
Not my kind of atmosphere, but many seem to like it and its quite busy. I got a Matcha Pistachio Latte? A friend got the cinnamon latte (probably a different name, it tasted like cinnamon graham crackers), another was a raspberry chocolate latte, and the last friend got a blueberry vanilla? Its kinda fuzzy. They enjoyed their drinks. The egg crissoants were delicious and well made! There's a couch in there and a group of knitters were knitting/crocheting. There's a gift shop with artwork and clothing. There's a parking lot in the back. There's a little library out front where you can bring and take books.
We ordered panna cotta from Felicitous (Corrine’s) for our wedding dessert, and it was hands down the BEST decision. I absolutely love their panna cotta—it’s incredibly smooth, perfectly balanced, and honestly the best I’ve ever had. Our guests loved it just as much as we did. Corrine is also very easy to communicate with and super punctual, which made everything stress-free on our wedding day. Beyond the desserts, we’re huge fans of their coffee too—especially the holiday flavors and special limited-edition drinks. I also love her breakfast burrito and other pastries. Everything from Felicitous is consistently amazing, and we can’t recommend them enough!
Small locally owned coffee house near USF. Small town charm tucked away in a large university city! They also roast their own beans!! Delicious breakfast burritos and sammys, housemade pastries- try the ube snickerdoodle!! Art hanging by local artists, colorful walls welcome you and a big comfy couch envelopes you as you enjoy your seasonal latte! Staff is super helpful and friendly- be sure to throw a lil somethin in the tip jar! Fllw Tampafoodmom on IG for more.
Great spot for a coffee break! I stopped by while looking for a place for my son, who’s a student at USF. I needed a quick coffee and snack to recharge—and this place hit the spot. I noticed a lot of students coming through, which gave it a welcoming, campus-friendly vibe. I even recommended it to my son, who’s transferring to USF from St. Pete, since it’s so close to the university. Definitely a convenient and comfortable place for a quick break or study session!
