Side of the coffee trailer.  That's Bruce B Downs at the right.

New coffee food truck located right on Bruce B Downs. Iced and hot coffee, chai lattes, many signature coffees (I tried the Rustic Root beer brew). The "garden" where you can sit at has eight picnic tables and is really cute. Most tables are directly shaded by oak trees. At night this area is surrounded in beautiful lights. This would be a cute place to take a date for coffee and conversation. Plenty of privacy and the day I was there all tables were available. In December there are pretty Christmas decorations along the cute concrete block path. Across the lot there is a company selling freshly cut Christmas trees that you can go browse. They have some snacks like chips and Cliff bars. The morning I went they had freshly made banana bread and gingerbread for $2.99/slice. Although slightly high for a small slice at least it is an option. Try this place out for your next coffee... They offer online ordering so your coffee is ready for your trip into work....

We've driven past Front Porch Coffee Truck by Bruce b downs multiple times, always noticing that this coffee truck with a steady stream of customers pulling up. We finally stopped to see what all the fuss was about. We're so glad we did. The menu is impressively rich for a food truck. A wide variety of espresso, tea, refresher drinks and even some sandwich options. We ordered a cold porch swing latte. It was strong and full-flavored. Since we lean toward the sweeter side, we added sugar and swapped regular milk for oat milk, and it was perfect. I don't normally drink bold coffee, I could genuinely appreciate how good this cup was. I understand now why this little truck has such a loyal following. The pricing is noticeably friendlier than the big chain coffee shops, without any sacrifice in quality. The staff was warm and welcoming too. There are picnic tables on-site if you want to slow down, sit, and enjoy your cup. Skip the chain. Pull over at Front Porch. You won't regret it.

Sorbo - Strawberry matcha

Saw Sorbo all over social media for their matcha lattes, so I had to try it when I was in the area…read more It's an Asian-inspired coffee shop with matcha drinks, teas, coffee, and desserts. The space was smaller than I expected and really busy during weekday lunch. Lots of people studying inside, and almost everyone seemed to have a matcha latte. I ordered the matcha ube latte and omg, it was one of the best matchas I've had. The ube flavor paired so well with the matcha without overpowering it. It was perfectly sweetened while still keeping that strong matcha flavor. Super creamy, smooth, and not watered down at all. Definitely lived up to the hype and I'd absolutely come back.

So many drink options and super unique flavors. Good amount of Asian flavors you can't find just…read moreanywhere. In addition, many desserts to compliment these drinks. Not loving on the ambiance. Kind of dark and the main focal point is the one area with rocks and the clouds. Everything is jam packed tables. This is good for them because they are all full of patrons. It's quite squishy and doesn't feel homey. Wish they had more space. Drinks are yummy. My drink this time was the mango sticky rice matcha. Tasty, a bit sweet for me but still enjoyed it. My friend had the Pandan latte. She loved it. I tasted more coffee than Pandan. This place is so popular and is a must stop for these fun flavor matchas and lattes. It's just too cramped for me. I want to enjoy my drink with friends with less echoes and hear less of others conversations. I do like this place and perhaps it's just a pick up a drink and go kinda place if I do see it pretty packed. It was a Friday day, not a weekend visit.

With its brick walls (real? fake? No matter!) and industrial light fixtures and stools, it has all those big city feels-and a big and intriguing menu. I'm so glad I stopped in. I always test drive a new (for me) place with a chai tea latte and a toasted sesame bagel. Oh! That bagel! The seeds on top were next level! Are they pre-toasted... are other seeds added? I dunno that-but I do know, this was an epic sesame experience. The rest of the bagel was good, too... nice chewy-to-crunchy ratio... soothing, comforting... everything you want it to be-and I liked the way it was packaged and served, on a little wooden tray. I loved the peaceful early morning vibes in here so much, I stayed almost too long, to get to an appointment on time (almost). I'll go back (for sure) when I'm not on deadline. There are so many other things to try, from boba tea to pastries and crepes. There's a comfy couch and chairs, two high top counters and several tables, where you can work, study or hang with friends. It's spotlessly clean and the employees I encountered were nice. And since it's in a plaza, there's lots of free parking. Grind Haus-I'll see you soon!

Everything looks fresh, and honestly, you can taste that it is fresh. It's not cheap, but the quality matches the price, so you really do get what you pay for. The donuts were the star for us. I had the coffee croissant donut, and it was dynamite. My son tore through his seasonal donut like he hadn't eaten in days -- he literally gave it "100 out of 10," so I think that speaks for itself. We all had coffee, and my pumpkin spice latte was solid. No complaints from any of us. Actually, the only "complaint" is that if we lived closer, we'd probably be broke from coming here too often. Overall, great pastries, great coffee, fresh ingredients, and a fun little spot to treat yourself. Staff was super helpful and friendly!

I'm not the biggest fan of matcha but my daughter really wanted to try it cause it's trending in school. The quality of the matcha is definitely high end. I forgot the exact name of this drink but it's pretty much matcha, whole milk, and strawberry puree. We added strawberry boba to it. If you are a matcha lover, you won't be disappointed! I'll probably order one of their top 5 drinks next time. I understand the prices have to be inflated cause of the location but I'm not sure if I can get myself to spend $10 on this drink again even though it tasted great. Ambiance is clean and modern but wished it was more upbeat. Workers were friendly but wished they were more enthusiastic.

I would not come here for food or a snack again but the Boba is amazing everytime. I got the Ube Creme Brûlée Brown Sugar Milk tea half sweet and this was the best drink I've ever had here. If you're looking for amazing Boba this is definitely the spot. We visited Easter Day and our drinks and food were ready super quick. Lots of open seating and nice open restaurant. Had I not gotten the food I would have rated my experience 5 stars!

I've made it a goal to try every coffee shop around USF campus, and Felicitous has been my favorite…read moreso far. They have a wide variety of drinks (I think the coffee may be locally brewed, but I am not a coffee drinker haha) as well as food. I ordered one of the cheapest drinks (I am a college student after all) which was the Pinkerton drink, and although it was inexpensive, it blew my expectations out of the water. It was served in a ceramic mug the barista kindly brought over to my table, and it was a delightful combination of cinnamon and apple sweetness. I also ordered the Formaggio, which I was also surprised by how good it was. As a frequent cafe-goer, it's hard to find a cafe that sells food that actually tastes good. But the Formaggio was absolutely delicious, huge on my plate, and made fresh. For the establishment itself, the barista was friendly and had excellent service. The lighting was warm and comforting, the decorations were cozy, and the people in the cafe were all other USF students. The music was alt/indie rock, and was neither too loud or too soft. The only two complaints would be that parking is a bit weird since the only parking is part of the apartment building it's attached to and you have to walk through a garage to enter, and the items were a bit on the expensive side. Regardless, I would love to take my boyfriend and friends here.
