A taste of home! I was living in Austin TX for the last six years and this was exactly the taste that I missed. This protein bowl was a little of everything you want to have with Florida Latin culture. It reminds me of Miami and Cuban food and everything was seasoned to perfection. The Sangria was sweet and citrusy. My only complaint is I should have gotten an extra to take home because I live 20 miles away. Last time I came to this location inside of Armature, it was still Latin but it was called something different and the menu was different. This new-to-me joint is a thumbs up for me. I'd prefer this food which feels like home than most of the other places in this food hall.

Love Flan Factory and hands down the best flan in Tampa!! I haven't tried anything besides the flan yet, but I've heard the Cuban sandwich and the empanadas are really good. Next time I go, I'll definitely try more items on the menu. My go-to favorites are Olga's Original, Salted Caramel, and Pistachio. Absolutely delicious every time!

Despite the name, they offer a variety of food. We stopped by for flan but they were so many other tempting options we had to rethink our dinner plans. We ended up ordering Cuban sandwiches, rice & beans, arroz frito (Cuban fried rice), deviled crab, and of course flan - original and guava. Everything was delicious- a bit pricey but I would definitely go back. Most people get take out but there is plenty of room if you want to dine in. They have dedicated but limited parking.

Absolutely love lawn factory from the food to the service to the kind atmosphere. They are always so nice when you enter the building and the food is always fresh and top-tier.

I had been wanting to check out the Flan Factory for quite some time. I liked that they offered quick, friendly and fast counter service. The restaurant is clean, has a nice vibe and has a good amount of seating. Free parking across the street and in the parking lot. The Cuban was packed full of roasted pork, an easily shareable sandwich. So you have to give credit to them for giving you plenty of value for your money. I thought it was good, but nothing amazing, especially when you've had a Cuban from the Floridian. The side of beans and rice were also just fine, nothing amazing. We skipped the flan as we were full so I'll need to go back and check that out and try a few other items.

Haven't been here in forever and really looked forward to trying it again. Ordered a media noche sandwich to go. Unfortunately it wasn't that great. It easily fell apart and the bread was quite small. It wasn't as tasty as I remembered it. What a bummer.

First off...I can't believe I have never done a review of Flan Factory! I've have eaten her a ton of occasions. I will start by saying ...the flan is amazing. They have individual sizes in some unique flavors. If you want to bring something to a dinner party that will impress everyone...bring a FLAN! Flan Factory also offers great breakfast and lunch options. This morning we got breakfast. I had the Ybowl w chorizo. It was delicious. Perfect avocado, crispy home fries fries, eggs cooked perfectly and tasty gravy. Both my husband and our friend got the Classico Breakfast. They loved it. We got a Ybowl and Timba to go. I forgot to take pics of our food, but snapped a few of the takeout order. Their Cuban and Breakfast Cuban are also delicious. Since I have been coming here, they have added on the side room for seating. It's very cute w a variety of options. I typically sit outside, but I do think the interior is cute and great for chilling and chowing down. Lol.

Historically located, a place you know you will be treated to authentic Cuban ingredients and traditional menu items. The name grabs you if you're a flan enthusiast. Sandwiches were full of fresh chicken/steak, so large you could share one. The coquito flan was one of the best things I ate all month. The owner's mother was sweet and walked around to each table with warm conversations. Great breakfast menu to come back and enjoy next time.

In armature works now !

Always a pleasure coming here for authentic coffee and lots of pastry and dessert choices. Their flan, of course, is so delicious with a variety of options to choose from. I'm happy their new spot is in armature works for easier parking and more spacious seating

I stumbled upon The Flan Factory in Tampa thanks to a random Reddit thread (bless the foodies of the internet), and let me just say, it delivered. I wanted to try a local spot that had some real buzz, and this place? Totally worth it. Believe the hype. Let's talk food, because wow. We ordered the Tampeno sandwich, and my tastebuds are still doing a happy dance. For $12 this cannot be beat . Think: slow-roasted Cuban pork, Genoa salami, Serrano ham, melted Swiss cheese, pickles, mayo, mustard; all pressed to perfection on Cuban bread. It's like a Cuban sandwich, but elevated. Honestly, one of the best (if not the best) Cuban-style sandwiches I've had. I split it with my boyfriend, though he may have caught me trying to steal an extra bite. I originally ordered the Island Boy shrimp sandwich, which wasn't quite what I expected, but the staff was super kind and accommodating. They removed it without hesitation. That level of service alone gets major points from me. For sides, we got the sweet potato fries (crispy, golden magic) and the cilantro slaw (refreshing with the perfect tang). We also started with the ham croquetas, which came out hot and melty, like little bites of savory heaven. Everything felt homemade and full of love. The vibe? Totally laid back. It's the kind of place where you could meet up with friends, kick back, and leave feeling like you just had a comforting meal. Now let's talk about the the flan. Do. Not. Leave. Without. Dessert. We tried the coquito flan and pistachio flan, and both were phenomenal, but the coquito flan? Chef's kiss. Creamy, smooth, and tasted like Puerto Rican tembleque and coquito had a delicious baby. It was nostalgic and decadent in the best way. If you're in Tampa and want a true local gem with heart, flavor, and killer sandwich. The Flan Factory should be at the top of your list.

Very good spot! Great food and great price. Got an empanada which was huge and the Cuban. Unfortunately we didn't try the flan :/ BUT good excuse to go back!

I love flan factory I'm almost sure I have reviews in other platforms but I must spill. Their flans are top tier. And their sandwiches are incredible. I are here when they opened and they have most definitely earned their spot in the Tampa dining scene. Go here if you want to impress visitors from out of town or your favorite person. My picky partner ate every bit of their steak sandwich on my recommendation and I always go for their salmon burger. It's a knock out. Their service is amazing as well. You always have a chance to run into the owner and say hello. Great spot must try.

The staff was super attentive and so friendly, and the food was incredibly fresh and flavorful. my favorite thing was probably the plantain chips and the guava flan. We had a party of six and we were constantly ordering food so I felt like we were kind of a high maintenance party, but they were just so sweet to us. The frita burger had a very unique flavor my friend and I think we could taste nutmeg in the meat. The plant chain chips were really unique because they were full and long slices of the plantains. I would definitely come back just for the flan and to try more sandwiches. The timba was also really good, but I wasn't expecting the texture of the cheese to be so rubbery, but it had a really good flavor.

I didn't even come here for the steakhouse part, the dessert room is the real experience…read more First of all, the vibe is everything. It's dark, cozy, and super intimate. You're seated in these small, semi-private rooms with an open doorway, so you can kind of see other people, but it still feels secluded and tucked away. I honestly loved that setup. It felt like our own little space without being completely closed off. Now let's talk about the drinks... I love whiskey, and the chocolate chip cookie old fashioned was AMAZING. Super unique and honestly one of the best cocktails I've had in a while. We also got the banana foster and it did not disappoint. Everything felt elevated and worth the price. Yes, it's definitely more expensive than just going out for ice cream, but the whole experience makes it worth it. If you're looking for something different, cozy, and a little more upscale for dessert and drinks, this place is 100% worth trying.

They also have the champagne room area that has a phone and speaker at each table. Very unique and one of a kind experience. As for the desserts you really can't go wrong with any of them, they are all made from scratch in house and amazing. Not only do they have an array of desserts they also have a huge selection of dessert drinks. This place is sure to impressed and truly on of a kind! Must try if you're in the Tampa area!

I went for a…read moreYelp event a while back, and it reminded me just how good their desserts are, so when my friend and I wanted dessert to finish off my birthday celebration, coming here was obvious. The women behind the counter were helpful and friendly. When I asked for opinions and suggestions, they had plenty based on my likes, and in no time at all, I had a warmed up incredibly rich and delicious Magic Toffee Bar in front of me. So crazy good, I could only eat 1/3 of it, but it made for a delightful treat the next day too. The description of it is as follows: buttery Graham cracker crust with milk, dark, and white chocolate chips, bits of toffee, and topped with coconut. I also highly recommend taking a treat or two from their samples jar. Their toffee is clearly the best in the world, and every bite is a treat. If you're looking for the perfect holiday gift - look no further than their toffee. They have their own parking lot, which is always a bonus in this part of town, and inside was clean and bright, with plenty of seating, and free glasses of water.

The cake slice I tried was unfortunately on the dry side, but when staff checked in and I mentioned it, they immediately offered to let me pick out a replacement, completely unprompted. That kind of hospitality goes a long way. Friendly team all around and I'd come back just for those pie bars!
