I've tried several coffees from Cali Coffee in Brandon and have really enjoyed them. My go-to lately has been a 3/4 sweet Blondie iced coffee. What stands out just as much as the coffee, though, is the staff. Every time I pull through, everyone is genuinely kind, welcoming, and seems happy to be there. That's honestly not always the case at drive-thrus these days, and it makes a difference. They also put cute little sayings and notes on the drink cups, which is such a small thing but honestly a nice little addition. Great coffee and consistently friendly service. Definitely worth stopping by. read more

Cali Coffee is quickly becoming one of our go-to stops for coffee! It definitely gives off a 7Brew and Dutch Bros vibe. It's drive-thru only, and they have a wide variety of specialty lattes, refreshers, and energy drink fusions. Their lattes are made with breve/half-and-half, but you can easily substitute milk if you prefer. I love their snickerdoodle and banana foster lattes they're so good! The coffee itself is excellent, and the service is always friendly and personable. The team at the window always chats with you, which makes the experience even better. They even have a pup cup for your dog, which is super cute. We'll definitely be back again soon! read more

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! read more

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! read more

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! read more

Nice little coffee spot. I tried the snickerdoodle hot and we pleasantly surprised. Good flavor! The staff were attentive and very nice. We were greeted promptly at arrival and the gentleman made some recommendations. Give them a try! read more

Cali Coffee came swinging right of the bat to become a Brandon area staple. Its location is superb coming right off highway 60 makes a convenient pick me up before the Brandon Mall or the high ways. I have gotten this cookie butter latte 3x last week...it has me in a chokehold. Even tho it's considered a "sweet" latte, I love love how I can still taste rich coffee, the latte plenty creamy from the oat milk and they perfected the amount of cinnamon needed when a drink comes w cinnamon (you know what I mean if your a cinnamon coffee lover). Their sugar free options are also excellent, without having that artificial flavor to it. The workers at cali coffee are outstanding. Everyone I've met so far gave me excellent service and I could genuinely tell they wanted me to be happy w my time there-It's like chic-fila status service. They also throughly thought out their layout of their shop. The drive thru space is excellent and the music keeps u stuck, because every time a great song finishes another starts LOL. Overall this place is a 10/10, I can't rave about it enough. read more

I came during their grand opening week and had a positive experience! They have a variety of coffees, lemonades, smoothies, etc. i ended up parking and walking up to the coffee shop. I think i remember that they have seating outside for customers to sit. There's also a drive thru as well. I ordered the banana nut latte! The best way i can describe it is it was smooth & not too sweet! I wish the banana flavor was stronger but it was good nonetheless. Customer service was friendly and they greet you as soon as you walk up! Definitely get the app so you can earn points! **Please turn in at the PDQ entrance! read more

What a unique coffee and drinks spot! The menu has 3 categories: coffee, fruit refreshers, and milk shakes! The most interesting concept here is you can choose your base: energy drink, tea, lemonade, carbonated water. And then add flavors. I had the Rose Water (watermelon & strawberry) with green tea base. It was good and not too sweet. They have cute name for their signature coffees like Blondie (caramel) and Gold Rush (caramel & hazelnut). There is plenty of parking for walk up window and drive thru. It's next to PDQ and Sam's Club in Brandon! read more

Cali Coffee is a fun, fresh new twist on the ever growing coffee chains coming to Brandon. The coffee is fully customizable, ranging from your choice of milk to lots of different syrups, and the coffee they use is really good. It is on the pricier side but that appears to be the normal for chains like this and I do find the taste to be much better than Scooters and Dutch Bros, plus the staff is very welcoming and laid-back! I like how vibrant and clean the building and inside looks. Don't forget to download the app for reward points and 50% off your first order! My only complaint is, please open up a second entrance instead of using the PDQ one; I keep missing my turn! read more

Stop by a few weeks ago and I really enjoyed the coffee! These drive thru coffee spots are incredible! Fast, not terribly expensive and incredible customer service! With great recommendations as well. The drive thru was clean and the attendant was super nice and helped us make some good caffeinated choices lol! All in all, I can't wait to get some more read more

This coffee shop is a small place with walk up and drive through option availability. I walked up and was greeted by the staff person at the window. He was helpful at helping me figure out what I wanted, as it was my first time there. They have many coffee selections-- hot, iced, etc. and many flavors to choose from. I really enjoyed their selection of sugar free options. I chose the Oreo cookie iced sugar free and it was excellent. The staff is friendly and helpful, the store front is clean, and it has a variety of drink options for any coffee lover. read more

This place sucks. No food options, the coffee is made for 5 year olds, loads and loads of sugar. they'll have some lady come and ask you what you want before you even get to see the menu. The workers are typical for Brandon. read more

Amazing staff and coffee!! Seasonal Pumpkin Butter was delicious, definitely my new go to coffee shop.

Everything great! The service, the coffee, the experience all wonderful. I will pass coffee shops by me to drive 15 min to go here.
