    I highly recommend!! Food fresh! Service prompt! Ambiance perfect! After a late and lingering night of bringing in the New Year food is something my body NEEDED to bring me back to life and the New Yorker did the job! Sandwiches were great, can't wait to return on my next trip to Tampa!! Did not disappoint!!

    Staying at the hotel right by this and popped over for a quick lunch. They have a menu in addition to a specials board and the staff were friendly and quick service! I got the chicken cordon bleu sandwich - it was tasty but there really was not a lot of meat/ filling over all (a thin-medium layer in about 2/3 of the bread). Quick and tasty it's a great lunch spot!

    Gelato !

    Great little kiosk type cafe ... breakfast, coffee, gelato and baked goods. Quick service. Great variety. Really good cappuccino gelato! Which was my mid morning treat. Sandwiches looked great. They have a a nice seasonal coffee menu too. To go or eat there at their outdoor area. No frills but easy. Nice views from their outdoor patio! Great location right on the bridge too.

    Found the perfect place for breakfast at lunch, because I'm jet lagged. The service is amazing, the food was delicious and the coffee was perfect. This was the perfect place for breakfast for lunch with a view.

    Fast Jacks was a great, quick to-go coffee/breakfast option when I was in the area recently for a conference. It's very affordable, and had great breakfast specials/combos too. Pro-tip is that you can call-in your order so that you don't need to wait--the stand is a bit small (big shout-out to the staff for making my visits so pleasant!) so it can get busy quite fast if there are many orders piled up. I highly recommend Fast Jacks!

    Cuban Bread w Butter

    This is the perfect little spot to grab coffee and sit by the bay. There seasonal coffee flavors on their chalk board always catch my eye and interest. It seems like when I go it depends on who makes the coffee and how busy it is because sometimes it's just good and sometimes it's great. The food and gelato are good too! I had the spiced apple latte with almond milk and iced maple white chocolate latte with almond milk the last few times I went. Cuban bread and butter hit the spot. So simple yet so good! Staff is always polite. I can't help but come here everytime I'm in Tampa.

    One of the best breakfast sandwiches I've ordered in a while. My boyfriend and I stopped here to grab a bite to eat. Portion size was definitely worth the price!! Would 100% recommend!!!

    Gelato and a nice stroll! Delicious gelato, very reasonably priced & friendly staff!!

    It's not much to look at from the outside, but it's worth a stop. :)

    What is a Gelato stand by day is actually a great spot to grab a "to go" breakfast in the morning. Fresh made eggs, bacon, cuban-pressed sandwiches, and more, along with coffee, espresso, etc. And...you can get it for less than $10. When the line at Starbucks is 40-persons long, walk over the bridge, enjoy a view of the boats, and grab a well-made carry out breakfast at Fast Jack's. PS - Food comes in to go containers, but the 3 days I was here (Dec 2021) I grabbed an outside seat at the affiliated Jackson's Bistro & Bar, and enjoyed a view of the water.

    Cute spot- has coffee, pastries, breakfast, sandwiches and ice cream! This place stays busy but they are fast and efficient! Stopped by for a coffee and was surprised they served many hot breakfast items. Had the breakfast special which was only $4.50! Great deal considering the area. The mocha Cuban was delish! Then to top it off - nice views!

    Convenient spot for a quick lunch hot breakfast. Prices are OK, but the food is really good considering it's a walk up window. They share a kitchen with the parent restaurant Jackson's. The steak sandwich, and the Cubans are probably the best items. They also make a breakfast sandwich on a cinnamon bread that is delicious.

    Gelato-small choco and strawberry

    Stumbled across this place for a break while attending the APEC Convention at the Tampa Convention Center. A nice little walk up shop for dessert, coffee, teas, sandwiches. Along the Riverwalk located on the other side of the bridge from the Tampa Convention Center. The server Chrissy was really helpful and let me taste as many samples of the gelato as I wanted. A small gelato you can mix up to 3 flavors and a large gelato up to 4 flavors. I ordered a small gelato, strawberry and chocolate which was about $3-buck-something. Especially with the hot humid Florida weather and the nice view along the Riverwalk it was nicely located and convenient. This place is good for a lite snack.

    Gelato hit the spot on a warmer afternoon walk back to the hotel. Wasn't to keen to try the coffee though so can't speak to that.

I honestly went back and forth on whether I needed to update this review, because there's a lot to love about this place. The quality of the food and coffee is consistently great, and the space itself is beautiful and thoughtfully designed. That said, I still can't give it 5 stars due to service gaps. There isn't a designated person clearing or wiping tables, so when you're lucky enough to get one, you have to track down someone behind the counter ~ usually in the middle of cashiering or making drinks ~ to ask for it to be cleaned. Also, every single time food is brought out, utensils are never included. I truly like this place and it remains one of my regular spots for breakfast or brunch, and I'll continue coming back. I just hope the owners read these reviews and take this feedback to heart, because with small service improvements, this place could easily be a 5-star experience.

They do not have matcha. 3. They do not have food. These days coffee makes my body feel weirddddd so I was a bit staggered when I walked in and realized those 3 things since I was here with a bike group and I really needed some food. I considered having coffee anyway but without food and being on a 15+ mile bike ride, I wasn't trying to have a medical episode so I decided to try their chai tea latte. It was truly delicious!! It got me home and able to eat so thank god for that! Some of the rest of my party got the herbal tea and the way it was served was super cool. It had me intrigued. But if you like coffee, everyone said it was delicious. The fact that they have a latte on draft is pretty amazing as well. I loved the location because it's kind of ducked off in the corner which is why I had never been there before. But above all else, the amount of pups here were enough to make me return time and time again. I met the cutest greyhounds which are my fav so my soul was happy.

It was pretty empty because we went in the morning. But it's very spacious and you have multiple table options to sit at. The service was phenomenal!! our coffee bartender was so kind and knowledgeable in all of the drinks. I got a dirty chai latte and it was so enjoyable. They don't serve a ton of options, but the options that they do have are very good. If you're in the area, please give this place a try!

The steak was a bit dry and pretty chewy, and it lacked flavor. The sauce (some kind of brown pepper sauce) was actually really good though, and the fries were solid. One of my friends ordered the same dish and felt the same way, even though she still cleaned her plate. My other friend got a Caesar salad with shrimp and crab cakes -- both were really good. I'm usually not even a crab cake person, but theirs surprised me in a good way. She said the shrimp was cooked perfectly too. The ambiance is definitely a highlight -- we sat outside on Water Street with nice lighting and a great vibe. Service was good, and the bottle of wine we got was great as well. Overall, we had a great time, I'd just probably try something different on the menu next time.
