Pretty Colombian Cafe. I was craving some pan de bono. I was pleasantly surprised with some pan de bono waffles. Also got the arepa special with shredded beef, fried egg, and avocado, super tasty. The server was nice and the experience was great overall, the only downside is the parking, they are only a few parking spaces. read more

I was very disappointed with my experience at LPCX Cafe. I had high expectations based on all the positive social media posts, but the food did not live up to the hype. The eggs were bland and had no flavor, the arepa tasted old and stale, and the chicharrón picado was mostly fat with very little meat. The portions were small, especially considering the high prices. Breakfast for three people came to $85.40 before tax and tip. The juices were served in very small glasses for $5-$6 each, and the café con leche was $6 with no refills. The only item we truly enjoyed was the pandebono waffles--they were delicious and the highlight of the meal. I do want to recognize our server, Yvannie, who was very friendly and attentive. However, the staff delivering the food seemed disorganized at the beginning, bringing our order to the wrong table and giving us another table's food. The outdoor seating area is charming, with chickens and caged birds that create a unique atmosphere. Unfortunately, the food quality and value did not match the setting. Overall, this is not a restaurant I would recommend read more

LPCX Cafe, located near Seminole Heights in Tampa, has definitely become one of our family's favorite breakfast spots! It's an easy 10/10 for us! The service is great, the food is delicious, and everything comes out pretty quickly. The atmosphere is truly beautiful, making you feel like you're in the backyard of a local home in Colombia! So cozy, outdoorsy, and homey There is indoor seating is available, but the chickens roaming around the outdoor area really make it a unique experience, especially with little ones! This spot is definitely worth a visit! 6204 N Armenia Ave. Tampa, FL 33604 #WorthTheStop #LPCXCafe #TampaEats #tampafoodie read more

Come here for the amazing patio ambiance! The chickens clucking around, fountains flowing, greenery surrounding you- it's amazing . I enjoyed a large cup of cafe con leche- very good! The food was less impressive to me for the money- I ordered the avocado toast- the bread was soggy and it just didn't wow- the side salad was nice- pretty pricey for what it was. The service was very attentive and friendly. I will definitely go back and try a different menu item - that patio will bring me back for sure! read more

This is my second visit to L.P.C.X. Café and while my first experience was the more impressive of the two, I'd still absolutely recommend checking it out with a caveat or two. First, the patio. It is genuinely one of the most beautiful outdoor dining spaces I've come across in Tampa... lush greenery, birds, chickens wandering around, and an all-around vibe that just makes you want to linger. On a sunny day, it is unmatched! My second visit fell on a cold and grey morning, and unfortunately the food followed suit... the arepa special (my go-to here) and the pandebono waffles both came out kinda cold, which took away from the experience a bit. I know what the food is capable of on a good day, so it was a little bit of a bummer. To be fair, my friend ordered the same arepa special and really enjoyed hers, so it may have just been mine! The flavors were still there either way. My boyfriend ordered the passion fruit juice (with milk)... I would say this was more like a smoothie than a juice, but it was so SO good. Definitely getting this again next time I come! He also had the pandebono benedict which was okay, though benedicts in general run rich and one-note for me personally... so take that note with a grain of salt depending on your preferences. First visit? Hot, fresh, delicious, gorgeous weather, stunning patio. I'd go back in a heartbeat on a sunny day and I think you should too... maybe just check the forecast first! read more

Loved LPCX Cafe! The food was great, staff super friendly, and the atmosphere is wonderful. Only friendly suggestions: add more fans to the outdoor patio (it was hot out there) and give the restrooms a quick check. It was also quite busy, so maybe bringing on a bit more staff during weekends would help keep things running smoothly for everyone. Overall, a fantastic experience. I'll be back! read more

Lpcx Cafe - Steak and rice - Bakeries Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Don't let the outside fool you, LPCX Cafe has outdoor seating that is stunning and unique with a tropical atmosphere. It honestly feels like a whole different world, you forget you're even in Tampa! My friend and I went for breakfast. The service was very friendly and attentive, and the staff was knowledgeable with recommendations. Parking was ample, and seating was comfortable without feeling crowded. It's a very cozy space, great for catching up with family or friends. What I ordered: * Pandenono waffle ($9): a bit underwhelming, just served with syrup and felt pricey for only 4 pieces * Arepa special ($15): delicious, but the portion was very small and didn't feel worth it Overall, beautiful space and great vibe, but mixed feelings on value. I'd consider coming back for the atmosphere, read more

I decided to treat myself to lunch. I arrived around lunchtime and was greeted and seated right away. The service was warm and welcoming; my server was incredibly sweet and helpful in answering my questions about the menu. I ordered the blackberry juice, Spanish latte, and bistec a caballo. Everything was delicious. The Spanish latte was easily one of the best I've had and as a self proclaimed coffee connoisseur, that's saying something lol. The steak dish was flavorful, well-seasoned, and the portion size was just right. Was able to save some for later. I sat outside on the patio, and it was such a vibe! Clean, beautifully decorated, and peaceful. You really can't beat the ambiance. If you're craving Colombian cuisine, friendly service, and a relaxed atmosphere, LPCX is the spot. I'll definitely be back! read more

I can't believe it has taken me this long to write a review for LPCX Café. This place is one of my absolute favorite weekday breakfast and brunch spots in Tampa. First things first -- the food is amazing. They offer a great selection of Colombian breakfast and lunch options, and many of the dishes are naturally gluten-free, which is always a plus. On this visit I ordered the Calentado with grilled steak and eggs over easy, served with a sweet arepa, and a Café con Leche. Everything was delicious and perfectly cooked. The steak was flavorful, the eggs were just right, and the calentado (rice and beans) made the whole plate hearty and comforting. My husband ordered the Desayuno Sencillo with sunny-side-up eggs, bacon, and the savory arepa -- simple, classic, and done really well. Speaking of coffee -- their Café con Leche is on point. Smooth, rich, and beautifully made. But what really makes this place special is the atmosphere. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating, but unless it's raining, always choose outdoor dining. The moment you sit outside you feel like you've been transported somewhere else. There's lush greenery, music playing in the background, and even chickens and roosters wandering around while little birds sing nearby. It feels relaxed, vibrant, and completely unique. While I love coming on weekdays, don't expect it to be empty -- this hidden gem has plenty of weekday regulars who know exactly how good it is. I can only imagine weekends get pretty packed. If you're looking for authentic Colombian breakfast, great coffee, and a fun outdoor vibe, LPCX Café is definitely worth the visit. read more

Wonderful food, amazing vibes, and stellar service! We had an absolutely fantastic experience here. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm, welcoming, and deeply relaxing. The decor is really nice, and I loved that they have projectors showcasing sporting events, it adds such a great energy to the space. If you get the chance, you absolutely have to sit outside. Their outdoor patio area is beautiful and makes for a perfect dining setting. The entire staff was incredibly sweet and accommodating, but I have to give a special shoutout to our server, Melissa. She was so kind and patient, taking the time to thoroughly answer all of our questions about the menu. Everything we ordered was incredibly fresh and tasted great. I definitely recommend coming here to anyone looking for a hidden gem in Tampa. read more

Coffee was beautifully presented and tasty. The waffle was very tough and disappointing. Arepa Especial was delicious. The pink and green sauces were divine. We had shredded chicken instead of beef, and it was a generous portion, with fresh avocado. The garden was lovely, but the roosters are VERY loud, continuously crowing and quite numerous. They hopped onto the empty table next to us, and seemed inclined to hop on ours, until shooed away. Service was excellent. read more

LPCX has such a cool vibe! I went on a chilly Saturday morning with my boyfriend sitting on the patio. They had a soccer (football) game playing on the big screen and a DJ. There are chickens and bamboo. The coffee was probably the best coffee I ever had my whole life. We had Café con Leche, which I don't normally like cause it's too milky, but LPCX did it to perfection. There was foam on top. The food was amazing. I had the arepa especial and my boyfriend had something that had a bunch of meat on it. We also ended our brunch with a guava cheese pastry, which was chefs kiss. Will definitely be back. My ladies Group is coming in a few weeks and I cannot wait to share this place with them. Definitely make reservations. I found this place on TikTok and truly it is a hidden gem in Tampa. Our server Mariana was delightful! read more

The passion fruit milk frozen beverage is so yummy as well. If you like outdoor or indoor seating this is a great option. read more

I had seen this place on TikTok and thought it would be a cool spot to check out for brunch. We made a reservation and were quickly seated. We ordered the pan de bono waffles which were yummy and came with a side of syrup and were topped with powdered sugar. I ordered a café con leche to drink and it was a yummy cafecito to go with my breakfast, I ordered the smoked salmon pan de bono which was equally as yummy. However, the other plates my family got were relatively small and our bill came out to around $150. Our server didn't check on us once until it was time to pay which was a little disappointing but the manager checked on us and gave us condiments and things we were waiting for. I did like the outside and they had birds outside and plenty of places for a good photo op. I think this place has potential but left wishing for more read more

This visit totally blew my mind- such an unassuming establishment from outside, and even when you first walk in. But then you go and see the back porch and try the food, and are whisked away to some tropical wonderland. If you like birds, you will fall in love with the porch area. They have a giant enclosure for these super cute parakeets, a bunch of different kinds. They just hang out as some background entertainment, along with the resident chickens. We got some lattes and breakfast as we went in the morning, and loved everything we tried. But especially the arepas were *chefs kiss*. If you get coffee, try the Spanish Latte. Perfect blend of strong coffee, smooth and a little bit of sweetness. They have some bigger tv screens inside and outside too so I think you could come to watch sports games when they are on. Really, the best of both worlds! read more

Came here with a friend for brunch and this spot is adorable. We were quickly seated outside at an umbrella covered picnic table. The patio area is adorable and it looks like they are setup for live music or streaming sporting events. They had an extensive coffee and cocktail menu, but we settled on the Spanish Latte because it sounded amazing. And it tasted even better! We shared the pandebono waffles to start, which were delicious. And I got an arepa special for my main. It was yummy, but I do wish the portion size was a bit bigger, either a bigger area or my multiple, for the price point. Overall, great experience and would recommend for brunch. read more

LPCX Cafe is an awesome local place for Columbian food in Tampa. My family and I visited here with friends. Social media bills this place a perfect brunch spot if you have kids. Their outdoor dining area is kid friendly, open enough for them to roam and play safely. We sat outside on a pretty overcast Saturday morning. Rain clouds loomed and while that kept the heat at bay, our time outside was limited. Luckily, like majority of the tables outside, ours was covered with a heavy duty plastic sheet that allowed light but kept everything else out. Our server was around quickly and go us started on drinks. Waters and different variations on coffee all around. I enjoyed a slightly sweet, foamy cortado. Right next to our dining area was a chicken coop. Not sure of those guys end up on our plates or if they are there for eggs but they were free to roam. The two kids at our table highly enjoyed checking out the birds and chickens, watching them walk around and screech. For breakfast, I ordered the Arepa Especial. These sweet corn cakes were covered with fried egg, savory shredded beef and fresh avocado, cheese and a cilantro sauce. The meal was filling and had so much going on. Layers of cheese and meat adorned the lightly bready cakes. While this wasn't the largest serving for $15, one could argue it was an appropriate serving for single person. The price reflected the fresh and hearty homemade ingredients. My wife ordered the Tostones mixtos. 4 tostones topped with chicken and beef along with cilantro and a pink sauce. My wife said they were tasty and our daughter also enjoyed them. Everyone at the table enjoyed their meals. Our server was around often to check on us and we had a great time of fellowship. Just as we had finished up eating, it started to pour. Rain like Florida does. Sporadic, torrential and cooling. We took shelter under an awning, paid and chatted a bit more. Eventually, we were on our way. I'd come back here again, for sure. If you're looking for a great brunch spot with tasty home cooking food, check this place out. read more

After scouring Yelp and the internet for the best brunch places in the Tampa area, I noticed one place was on everybody's list: Lpcx Cafe. That told me all I needed to know! We showed up to a full parking lot and people waiting outside, so reservations are definitely a smart move. We wound up dining outside because there was live music, however, be warned that the inside tables are very limited if you're looking to eat under A/C. That being said, the outdoor area is shaded with plenty of fans circulating the air. The food was so delicious, OMG. I ordered the arepa dish, and I devoured it. One of the best brunch dishes I've had. They have a wonderful variety of brunch dishes, sangria, mimosas, and more. I would definitely eat here again and I can confirm what others have already said: Lpcx is one of Tampa's top brunch spots. read more

Love coming to LPCX for brunch they offer indoor and outdoor seating and on nice days the patio outside area is so nice - def recommend checking this out! The food is always amazing! I've tried a few different things but so far the pan de bono waffles and the Arepa Special is my favorite! I highly recommend making a reservation online if you plan on visiting for brunch as the indoor seating is limited. Service is usually pretty quick once seated. Wait time can get long on weekends without reservations (I was quoted 5-10 mins once and waited about 30). read more

First time customers and we were so excited to find this place! We recently were in Medellin, so to find this gem in Tampa was such a cool find! The food was authentic and delicious, just as we had in Colombia. And the COFFEE?! You have to try the Spanish Latte. We will be back many times over because of that one cup of coffee. On top of the tasty food and drinks, the service was wonderful and super attentive. Multiple people checked on us while we dined and we were greeted immediately when we came in even though the hostess was not at the front to greet and seat us yet. Next time, we have to try sitting out on the patio. It was so inviting out there with all the birds and the tree canopy. We recently went back again for brunch (8/30/25) and they've overhauled their menu. The new items were so hard to choose from because everything looked so amazing! I got the Paisa Bowl which was *chef's kiss* and my wife got the Arepa Especial that was also bangin! We took them both home because the portion was huge and happily ate the rest for dinner that night. read more

This has to be on the top 5 gems in Tampa Bay. LPCX Cafe makes me feel like I'm on vacation in a different country. The atmosphere is a VIBE. I don't think I've been to a cafe as unique as this cafe in Tampa. They have free roaming chickens with their outdoor patio and a huge bird house of colorful birds. They have a great menu with plentiful portions. Their drinks include Colombian twists and excellent non alcoholic choices such as shakes, coffee and matcha. The food is SO delicious I haven't had a dish I haven't liked yet. The service is very helpful and willing to go above and beyond to give me the best recommendations. If I lived closer, I literally would be there every week. No joke. Go check them out!!! read more

11/10!!!!!! When I saw the vibes of this place I knew it was going to be great and I was not wrong. I've never given an 11/10 review but when I tell you every single thing about this place was amazing. From the friendly staff, to the music, outdoor columbian family home vibes, to the FOOOOOOOOD coffee and matcha... WOW. Super impressed with the flavors of everything, first we had the pandebono waffles, flavor bomb. I could eat 50 more. Then the calentado and Paisa bowl... fantastic. You do not wanna miss this place. Vibes alone are 11/10!!!! Absolutely will be back whenever I can, but we live far from here. read more

L.P.C.X. is not a real friendly establishment. This establishment served us ICE cold food after waiting 25+ minutes for the kitchen. Arepa was frozen inside which lets me know they don't make in house and if they do, it's not fresh. Food was unseasoned as much as we felt unwelcome. Manager came over and interrogated me about quality instead of kitchen. "Food" was comped of course but for authentic, flavored and friendlier service for Colombian fares, I recommend elsewhere. read more

This is the epitome of hidden gem. Truly. I found LPCX through a TikTok and I'm so glad it's getting the recognition it deserves. It's such a unique spot. The inside is more of a bar/typical restaurant vibe, nothing to write home about. But the patio is where LPCX truly shines. It is large, fenced in, houses a bunch of CHICKENS!!!, has ample seating, and a large screen for sports. This seems to be a hot spot to watch futbol. When it comes to food & drinks, this was another special find. We ordered three coffees between the 2 of us - my friend a cold brew, myself a cappuccino, and their signature Spanish latte so we could try something fun and sweet. It was pretty sweet, but we still enjoyed it. I We ordered the pandebono waffles to share and each got a Colombian omelet (Bell Peppers, Ham, Cheese, and Chorizo. Served with a side of House Potatoes.). I had never had pandebono before, and I was mesmerized by this!!!! It was essentially cheesy bread in waffle form with syrup. I was not expecting to enjoy this savory waffle, but WOW! I really loved it! Would 100% order again! I also liked my omelet a lot, and would get it again. The vegetables were a little wet so the omelet itself was too, but it wasn't too extreme. I liked both sauces we were given to try, too. The potatoes were okay, not my favorite but still good. Our server Mike was friendly and helpful. Another thing to note - you are literally eating amongst hens. Like there's baby chicks, chickens, chicken coops.. it was soooo cool! They didn't bother us and they weren't loud, it honestly was entertaining more than anything and so cute! We asked Mike about it and he said they actually live on property. If the chicks get out beneath the fence, they always come back. read more

My family and I decided to try this place as it was recommend on IG. Social media... I happen to be Colombian and I have to say I must come back again and try the pan de bono Benedict eggs dish along with other things on their menu. I had the paisa dish and it was delicious. My husband tried the bistec a caballo and said it was delicious too. Loved the decor. Surprised about their schedule. Because it definitely feels like it can be restaurant that turns into a lounge and or open for afternoon or night soccer games etc.... We wanted to sit outside and enjoy their ambiance with the chickens running around. However, because they close at 3- and we showed up at 2. We weren't able to catch a spot out there. Perhaps another time we will try to come in a bit earlier. They were friendly, but I feel the service can improve. We felt a bit rushed. Though I understand that if you come in at 2- it's their closing time. But it's still early in the afternoon and it doesn't feel very nice to have to rush at that particular time of the day and enjoy their delicious food. . read more

The patio vibes were vibing during brunch at LPCX Cafe! I was a little worried when I first drove up, as this was my first time visiting and parking was a bit tricky. The restaurant's lot was full so a man was waving all incoming traffic into the one-way shopping plaza parking next door. Once inside, there was a bit of confusion as we tried to sort out our reservation. But we eventually got it figured out and were guided outside to the lovely patio/courtyard space. I was so happy we got seated outside, because even though it was a hot day, the patio remained pretty comfortable under the table umbrella and the space out there really is a vibe! With lovely water features, the chirp of chickens in the nearby coop, and baby chick sightings, the ambiance is calm and vibey. I tried the arepa especial (minus the meat, of course) and my friends and I had a delicious time. The dish seemed small when it came out compared to some of the other dishes my friends ordered, but it ended up being so filling and delicious. I definitely plan to go back to check out the avocado toast and the vegan special they have on the menu. And of course, I'll choose the patio! read more

Colombia district! I've been here twice, once on a week day and once on a weekend (for brunch). During my weekend visit, I made a reservation. It was really busy but the host sat us right away. Pro tip: sit outside if the weather is nice. It's beautiful and the vibes are fun. There are roosters running around! There is one clearly labeled vegan item on the menu, which made me very happy. I will say, the quality of the food wasn't as good on the weekend as it was during my previous visit (week day). Overall though, this is an awesome spot and I hope it stays. read more
