We decided before we got to the convention center, we'd stop and buy a cup of coffee. Bula was literally across the street from where we were staying, so we walked over minutes after they opened. It was convenient. Was that the only time we made that coffee run in our 3+ days there in the neighborhood? Yes. Why? It was expensive. Neither my friend nor I buy coffee at coffee shops. So the $17 (may have been $18 after tip, don't recall) was a little bit of a sticker shock. Though our coffee was good - We both ordered the bulletproof coffee - We had all the makings of bulletproof coffee at the airbnb (We had planned on making our own coffee at the house so we had MCT oil, homemade ghee, and heavy cream). We just needed stronger coffee. So we went to the store, got some bustelo, and saved ourselves some cash. Bula is a cute little spot though. And the guy at the counter was very nice.

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.

It's a pretty big cafe with big tables for a group of friends or large families. It seems to be a place for all age groups as I saw kids, teenagers, young adults, and adults. They had "How to Train your Dragon" the live action playing while I was there which is a bonus in my book. They also had some arcade games, board games, and lots of chess boards. Relaxed seating area and everything is a bit mismatched, but that just adds to the vibe. The bathrooms are STUNNING. I've never been to a cafe with a bathroom that fancy whoa. The service was very friendly, gave us recommendations based on the popular items ppl get. I got the velvet amber half decaf and my partner got the cinnamon toast latte. Both were great. They also serve Kava, Teas, mushroom gummies, and additives you can add to your drink. They also offer CBD consultation. Overall, I will be coming back to battle some of my friends in chess and do my study dates there.

Well they did and boy am I glad they did because I LOVE Kalesia and loved having the chance to show it to new people. I was just afraid there'd be too many of us. But I got super lucky and there was a large open table. Everyone really enjoyed their drinks. They all got the fancy blends but I'm perfectly happy with my "teatannic" (the largest size and that name cracks me up) Moroccan Mint. So refreshing iced. This is a delightful, cozy, Asian themed café. There are a few food options like bahn mi and rice bowls and tons of tea and a few latte options. The service is always so friendly and I always see little groups hanging out and chatting and individuals doing some studying or working. They even have a gorgeous quiet room, set up to take your shoes off and sit comfortably on the floor and study or write or work in peace. I could definitely see bringing my laptop and working on a novel with a delicious, comforting tea. I haven't tried the food yet because every time I come here it's either right before or right after dinner plans, but it looks and smells SO good and my time is coming!

This is the real deal when it comes to a Levantine coffeehouse. They have a strong emphiasis on…read morehookah, yes, but that's typical to coffeehouses in the Middle East. They also serve a limited food menu and--impressively--things like sahlab and zhourat shamia tea which you rarely see even in Middle Eastern restaurants in the US. And Turkish coffee which they do make correctly. I don't smoke but felt very welcome. It's mostly local guys sitting around, smoking, playing cards, drinking coffee and gossiping. It seems to have filled the void for this purpose left when the Palms Coffee House shut down. The ambience is about what you'd expect: welcoming, informal, not fancy but more thought into the decoration certainly than at Palms. And they're open late! This is also Levantine tradition--it's a coffeehouse not a coffeeshop. It doesn't close at 3pm like ones in the States do but actually business really picks up around 11pm. That's just how it's done.

I spent my…read moreFriday there and honestly, it's just a great spot to relax, hang out, and enjoy good food and hookah. This is more than just a hookah lounge--it's a true Palestinian café and community space. The hookah is top-notch; I got the double apple and it was smooth the whole time, no harshness or burn-out. Their Turkish coffee is excellent too--strong, flavorful, and perfectly brewed. In the evening, they fire up the charcoal grill and serve fresh, simple food. The menu isn't huge, but it doesn't need to be. It's all about quality. I had the grilled chicken wings with hand-cut fries--real potatoes, not frozen--and everything was fresh and delicious. You can taste the difference. At night, the place comes alive. It gets packed with people playing cards, smoking hookah, drinking tea or coffee, and socializing. It's a wholesome, laid-back spot with a real sense of community, right in the heart of Temple Terrace. And yes--they've got Al Jazeera Arabic on the TV and a couple of cute kittens roaming around. What more do you want? If you're in Tampa and want to support Palestine while enjoying great food and good company, this is the spot. 1948 Cafe has become my go-to every time I'm in town.

I wanted to like this place so much. I have a locker at 2 other spots in Tampa. This location was…read moreso intriguing to my Wife and I. The good is obvious, it's a gorgeous building and well decorated interior. The truly disappointing: 1. The humidor is gorgeous and massive but wasted space gives way to a above average inventory. For a place that requires you to purchase only their cigars they should have Davidoff, Bandelero, Byron, Attabey, El Septimo and other high end brands. 2. The best room in the building doesn't allow smoking!! The actual coffee lounge is gorgeous but you won't enjoy it after you buy a cigar. That is truly silly. This strategy is a mistake and I am sure this policy will change. 3. No drip coffee!!!! It's on the menu but they don't offer it yet. I was offered cold coffee... anyone wanting hot coffee doesn't want a cold one. 4. Breakfast menu was crossed out, no food for it. I was told I could get a lunch burrito at 8am. I was told there isn't a big difference except no eggs and bacon. The attempts to counter the blatant issues were foolish if not condescending. 5. The Library is where the smokers are, horrible ventilation and at the time I was there 8 regulars loudly talking about how Trump is amazing and anyone that disagrees must be a liberal. Didn't feel like the cigar community vibe we all enjoy. I had a very average cappuccino and Plascencia Alma Fuerta. When I told my Wife (who was driving to meet me) about this place she changed her mind and went Ybor, I'm on the way to meet her. This place is a huge swing and a miss
