I mean, Cats & Caffeine...how can you go wrong with that combo? If you're near Tampa, these kitties are all (except for Sam) up for adoption. If you can't adopt, visit. Part of the fee to spend an hour with them, goes towards their feeding and medical care. ‍

Antique classic stuff can be found here and a cool old time bar where they make coffee, tea, matchas, lemonade, etc. they also have a pastry case and after 3pm it's buy one get one free.

They're cats! *The kittens do rotate out; they're all up for adoption (Through a shelter or cat rescue, I believe) so you're likely to meet new furry faces every time. *It's all really easy to book; just book a spot online and show up on time. *Lots of parking and easy to find! It's nice to see something different thrive. If ya like cats, and looking for something to do, check them out! Great for groups, too!

This cat cafe deserves 5 stars! I came all the way from South Florida to visit with my cousin…read more Parking is easy, there is a parking lot available to the left of the cafe just around the round about so don't be nervous for those who are hesitant with street parking. I reserved a Saturday afternoon and did not wait for my time slot. Reservation is key! I got an iced vanilla coffee in the mean time and the barista was very helpful. They were able to accommodate my oat milk instead of a traditional dairy option which I was grateful for. The kittens were the best part! They were all so cute and cuddly! The adoptions are facilitated through SPCA and donations are accepted. The attendants were so helpful and informative. My cousin was running a bit late so we were also able to extend our time (with a small extra free). Overall, I highly recommend this cattery for your serotonin boost!

Our recent FUN visit to Kitty Cat Louge (which appears to be a stand-alone converted quaint…read moresingle-family home) surpassed our expectations! We spent our first half hour in the kitty lounge petting many a friendly cat and were thrilled that a few were comfy enough to crawl into our laps. Our hearts melted! Cats are all healthy and well cared for, and the space is clean with LOTS of seating, cat towers, cat beds and play toys around. Of course, we fell head over heels in love with many of them. Afterwards we each enjoyed amazing desserts and beverages, served on an ultra-clean dining room with nice and comfortable chairs. The desserts were off-the-chart amazing! So were the coffee and other beverages. The kind gentleman who guided us and served our snacks during our visit was very gracious and friendly. We plan to return often, and encourage anyone who loves cats, delicious food, or a welcoming friendly environment in which to relax, to visit this delightful Kitty Cat Lounge.

A few weeks back, we were on our way home from a wonderful day at an all day event and Farmer's…read moreMarket at Starkey Ranch Theatre Library Cultural Center and were four hungry adults looking for good food. We searched for best places to eat near us and Mandola's Italian Kitchen came up in Odessa, FL None of us had ever eaten at a Mandola's Italian Kitchen but I can assure you, this will not be the last! You do not have to love Italian food to know when the food being served is excellent in every way. Everything we ordered was delicious from the perfectly cooked pasta to the fresh can't-get-enough bread and rich sauces. The flavors were authentic Italian cuisine, and the atmosphere was as happy, welcoming and comforting as grandma's kitchen. Something none of us can get enough of in these days. I've never seen so many young people at our wait; they all were cleaning and organizing everything around them for the next guests, while being attentive to those they were already serving. No one on their cell phones!!! Now that's a concept! Talk about bringing back "SERVICE!" Each spoonful of chopped Italian salad filled with kalamata olives, mozzarella cheese capicola with creamy Italian dressing, the special was a wonderful pasta with shrimp and homemade sauce, the ziti's with amazing flavorful tomatoey sauce to die for. Lentil sausage spicy soup was delicious, and the best thing was it ALL tasted homemade. We were there between lunch and dinner so it was not busy at all. This place is SOOO clean you could almost eat off the floor!!! Mandola's Italian Kitchen in Odessa is THE PLACE to book any birthday, family get-together, special occasion especially for families with children as THIS is a very CLEAN (especially the bathrooms) and SAFE FAMILY FRIENDLY restaurant with free ice cream for the kiddos. La Ciliegina Sulla Torta (the cherry on top- in Italian) was the Manager, Jeremiah Stringer, who had just taken over a month ago, who chatted us up asking if everything was to our standards. He said he was trying to increase foot traffic, so we put our collective thinking caps on and he wrote down every idea. When we were ready to order dessert, he graciously gave us a tasting I believe of all of their delectable deserts OMG!!! Can't say enough good things about this wonderful restaurant: CLEAN, Excellent tasting food, excellent attentive wait staff and great Management in Jeremiah. Here's hoping any of you who want a great meal out gives Mandola's Italian Kitchen in Odessa a try!

Mandola's Italian Kitchen 16080 Preserve Marketplace Blvd,…read moreOdessa, FL 33556 -- in front of Publix, just west of Suncoast Highway Heads up, it's a chain -- there are locations across Texas, Tampa, Jacksonville, and Maitland. This one's tucked in next to Jeremiah's Italian Ice. Bigger operation than it looks from outside: full bar, a gelato and dessert case up front, two pizza ovens working, and a claim that everything is made in house. Modern space, friendly staff, decor leans more upscale-casual than red-checkered-tablecloth. Full disclosure: all the sausage and pepper sandwich chatter lately put me in the mood, so that's what I went with. Served on what's basically a focaccia-style bread, and the first bite took me straight back to the Jersey Shore. Great sandwich, chatter justified. Wife had the caprese panino and subbed a cup of lentil soup for the fries -- her call, and she said it was the best lentil soup she's had, full-bodied even with some heat to it. Service here is its own animal. You're handed menus and seat yourself, then go order and pay at the counter, get your own fountain drinks, and everything gets run to your table when it's ready. No cc surcharge, which is more than I can say for some places. The counter transaction comes with the now-standard tip screen ambush -- I hit no tip for no service, since at that point none had been rendered. But Sarah came around to check on us, refilled drinks, offered boxes, and chatted about the food, so she earned the $5 we left after the fact. 10%, fairly. One complaint: the place was frigid. Bring a jacket. Good food, good value, a service model that takes a minute to figure out but works once you know Sarah's going to show up. We'll be back.
