Cali Coffee Vibes
Karen V.

I knew it was coming soon. I waited patiently. It's finally here!! They actually picked this part of Gornto Lake in Brandon to open their first location in Tampa Bay. It's right next door to PDQ. So, the hype is real. I really enjoyed the seasonal Iced Pumpkin Butter latte. It's even more special when adding their signature pumpkin cold foam and cinnamon sprinkles. They have all different kinds of milk alternatives, and can sweeten the drink to your liking. The actual coffee tastes better than Scooters, but very similar to Dutch Bros. They have other drinks as well, but I had to try the coffee first. It's a winner! I love the autumn flavors! As others have said, download the app and register for the rewards program. You'll get a 50% discount on your first drink order for your efforts. The service and smiles are genuine. I'm so happy that it's finally open in Brandon! Yay!

Awww! I feel the love. First visit: September 2025

Rise and shine, it's Cali Coffee time! It's open for business, with the friendliest staff you'll ever meet. I knew it was coming... going up right next to PDQ... but thanks to Brittany M for letting us know it was good to go. There's no indoor seating-this is a drive-thru establishment with a walk up window as well. I had studied the menu online but didn't decide on the frozen chai till I was in line. The really bubbly, cheerful and helpful gal taking my order gave me some great descriptions of the different chai options... and I ended up with the best tea drink I've ever had. Yeah! It was that good! The texture, the color, the taste, the generous size (my medium was huge). I was enchanted! This is a well run operation-it's like they've been open for years-they know what they're doing. And they seem to love what they do... serving up enthusiasm with my order. There's coffee, chai and matcha, refreshers and shakes-plus some baked goods. It's clean and fresh, sunny and casual... and I can't wait to go back to try the special pumpkin/fall items. (And won't be shai-to come back for more shai) In other words... I'm stoked! Welcome to the neighborhood, Cali Coffee! See you soon!

It's always a pleasure to stop by and get a drink from Cali Coffee. The ladies know me by now and it's so nice to talk to them and have a nice conversation and also get a delicious drink out of it. This time I got the banana Matcha I skipped the cold foam, but after sipping it, I wish I would would have got it. The drink was delicious, but I feel like the cookie butter cold foam would've added a nice flavor. Also, thank you so much for the sticker. I absolutely love them!

What a great place for dessert! Located in a strip mall with plenty of parking off the torturous…read moreSR60 in Brandon, I wish I lived closer so I could be a regular. Inside was bright and clean and pink, with cute signs and decorations on all walls. We were immediately greeted and given the spiel since we had never been: cookies with or without frosting, cookie ice cream sandwich with flavors of your choosing, boxes of cookies, or just ice cream. I went with a sprinkle cookie with icing, and it was perfect. I love icing so sweet it makes me shudder, and makes my teeth feel like they are about to fall out, and this hit all those benchmarks. We were told that while the cookies are made in house, the ice cream is not; however, it is made by a local dairy (ice creamery?) and brought in fresh. Go here eat cookies be happy!

I thought the $3.49 brownie with fudge was better than all of the dozen cookies that I tried. Next…read moretime, I'll ask if they can heat mine up or get a fresh one out of the oven and it would be perfect. In my photos I numbered the $25.99 12 mini cookies with 1 being the best and 10 being the worst. I couldn't label the 11th cookie, but just look at the photo. I did order 2 chcolate chip cookies on the left side. I didn't try all of the cookies, but here is my ranking from best to worst: (Best) 1. Red Velvet - the icing is actually delicious 2. Birthday Cake 3. Peanut Butter 4. Pink Strawberry 5. Stuffed Oreo white chocolate 6. Stuffed Oreo milk chocolate 7. Turtle caramel chocolate 8. M&M 9. Sprinkle 10. Chocolate Chip (I ordered 2) 11. Snickerdoodle Overall, if I came back for cookies, only the top 2 were worth ordering. The brownie you should absolutely get. For any other style cookie, Bake N babes (especially chocolate chip) or Indy's cookies are the best you can get around Tampa Bay.

MOUTH MAGIC Happens here! Stop right now....push directions…read moreand go to Moon Mountain immediately! There is so much to try at this treasure shop! Are you feeling like a power bowl, a coffee, a vape, a matcha, Kratom, kava....it's all here! Not only is it here, it is delicious and served up by an awesome team led by a very cool owner. I have always disliked matcha (and I've tried it all over the world...) I mentioned that to the owner and he said "Nooooooo- you've not had it made the right way!" And he gave me an awesome education about matcha. Even shared the one he was making so I could experience it the way God intended....with an "ahhhhh" , a smile, and a chocolate cold foam mustache! Perfection! It didn't taste like dirt, it tasted like a chocolate covered strawberry in liquid form! We intended to pop in for a coffee, stayed for a coffee, a matcha, an education, and the cool vibes put out by the folks here. They actually talk, smile, laugh and joke with their new friends (aka. customers) which is a very nice change from some places you go these days. Thanks so much for the magical mouth magic Moon Mountain...we will be back soon! You have created a Lunartic!

I friend recommended this place for their coffee and homework time. So I proceeded to do the same today. The music is THE best, I loved every song they have put on. They have a guitar for any artist to play and many drink options like kava tea, loose leaf, coffee, smoothies, beer, sodas and more! The barista/bartender Zoey was super sweet! She answered all my newbie questions and recommendations. I tried their iced latte with coconut and caramel which was DELISH. The coffee was smooth with a strong flavor which I like, but not bitter. I will for sure be back! This is my fav spot now for homework sesh time in the Brandon area.

While this restaurant is well known for its sweet desserts, I decided to try their bento box for…read morethe first time -- specifically the chicken bento box -- and I was pleasantly surprised. The box came well-assembled: white rice topped with teriyaki chicken, garnished with rice seasoning, a side of noodles also seasoned with rice seasoning, a salad with dressing, and two pieces of fried gyoza. The gyoza were the highlight for me -- crispy and quite good. Overall, the ensemble made for a satisfying, no-fuss meal. Simple, decent, and I wouldn't hesitate to order it again. The ambiance is where this place really adds some personality. One corner of the restaurant is dedicated to DIY painting activities, making it a great spot for creative types or families. On the other side, there are claw machines for those feeling lucky enough to win a stuffed toy. It gives the place a lively, playful energy that sets it apart from your average dining spot. Service was good. All in all, a fun place for an easy, enjoyable meal

Very cute addition. Makes it more of a "third place" vibe. Three claw machines at $1/play is dangerous too. I might have to try for a gengar. I got the iced latte and it was over $8 for a regular size which is wild but this is a dessert spot, not a cafe, so I'm not mad at it. It's very creamy. Tastes like melted ice cream (not a bad or good thing). Plan on trying dessert another time.

So walking pass this place first thing I saw was the sign that said Fried Oreos, Fried Cheesecake,…read moreFried Twinkies, Fried Brownies... I seriously talked myself into walking pass it as I kept looking saying OMG You do not have all this goodness right here.. they laughed at me and say come on you gotta try it.. I said nooooo I can't it's not what I walked in this mall for. I continued to the clothing store across from them but leaving out I had to pass Remo's so guess what we found each other and I couldn't pass up those Oreos.. They were everything I thought it was going to be. Sam was working behind the register she was amazing, super sweet and helpful she made sure to go over the menu with and all the extra things i could add. She was working with another gentlemen who was preparing the order. He was delightful very pleasant he really made it extra hard when I was passing by he kept saying "why not" You won't regret it" Listen if you're wanted a super nice treat while shopping in the Brandon Town Center Mall you should definitely try them out. They are right outside Books a Million, so again a place that easy to get to and leave out if you're in a rush. Sam thanks for making my afternoon feel like being at the fair, wanting nothing but the foods lol but less stressful of all the people and most importantly showing me that goodness not only comes with the items on your menu but the people like you and your staff working behind the counter. These were perfect in every way and with that added sea salt caramel drizzled on top I'm still shaking my head.

I must be the only person who didn't know that Mike's Pies is hidden in an office/warehouse space…read moreon Windhorst near Falkenburg Road. They've been there for 3 years now. I was still getting their key lime pies at Winn-Dixie up until this past week. For those who are not local, they started their business in Tampa over 30 years ago. The pies can be found nationally at restaurants and grocery stores. They happened to be one of many contestants in a pie contest on GMA recently which prompted me to look up their address. They are closer than I thought. As others have said, it's hidden. Thankfully I read the reviews stating that because it still took me a while to find it. I had also read that you need to call ahead if you want something specific, or during the holiday rush for pies. I went on a whim to see what they had available. They had many frozen pies, and I believe some were being held for pick up orders. She said there was one seasonal guava cheesecake left. At that point, I didn't even really care what other flavors they had. I think they had key lime, pecan, and others. It was guava that screamed the loudest to me. It was a very quick transaction after that. I was in and out in less than 5 minutes. I kept it in the car for a while because I had other errands to run. It defrosted enough were I could pull out a slice of it and pop the rest into the freezer (yep, it can be refrozen). These cheesecakes are already pre-sliced which is very convenient. Mind you, these are larger than any of the Mike's Pies sold at grocery stores. There are 12 big slices in this cheesecake. I couldn't wait for my slice to defrost. I went ahead and ate it partially frozen. It was the best cheesecake ever! The guava is not just on top of it. It's mixed inside the cheese cake. It had guava in every bite. It ended up being so creamy towards the end as it continued to defrost. Maybe because I took my sweet time savoring each bite. I so wish this flavor was on their regular local menu. I remember seeing it on the menu at Fat Willie's Fish Camp back in September but they ran out of it. I feel like this cheesecake was meant for me to find. I will get it again whenever it's back on the local menu. This cheesecake will have to last until then.
