I decided to check out Chill Caw-Fee for a coffee meet-up with a friend since we enjoy exploring…read moredifferent coffee shops in the area. The shop itself has a lot of charm! I loved the Halloween décor, which gave the space a fun and inviting seasonal feel. They also have a cute seating area tucked into the back corner with a couch and comfortable chairs, along with tables throughout the shop. I really liked the variety of seating because it makes the space work whether you're catching up with friends, working, or just relaxing with your coffee. For my drink, I ordered one of their autumn specials, the Chai My Cookie, served cold. Unfortunately, this was the disappointing part of my visit. The chai flavor was very subtle, and I could barely taste the sweetness or richness I was expecting from the cookie butter syrup. Given the combination, I was expecting a much more flavorful fall drink. That being said, I wouldn't count Chill Caw-Fee out! The shop itself has a cute, welcoming vibe, and I enjoyed the atmosphere enough that I'd give it another chance. Next time, I'll try something different from the menu and hopefully find a new favorite.

The atmosphere feels warm,…read morecharming, and tucked-away--like a hidden gem surrounded by beautiful natural vibes, perfect for a relaxed night out. The food was fresh, thoughtfully prepared, and beautifully presented with that elevated, homemade feel that makes everything taste even better. Service was friendly and unhurried, which really added to the peaceful pace of the evening. What makes it extra special is that you can also shop while you're there. The boutique-style space has cute, curated items that make it fun to browse before or after dinner, turning the whole visit into more than just a meal. It's the kind of place you go when you want dinner, a little shopping, and a calm, memorable experience all in one. Definitely a spot worth returning to.

We drove over an hour from Pinellas County because of the glowing reviews, and it ended up being…read moreone of the most disappointing dining experiences we've had. We were traveling with an elderly disabled family member who uses a mobility scooter. Although there were designated accessible parking spaces, the ramp leading into the building was so narrow that her scooter couldn't safely use it. Once inside, both the retail store and the restaurant had aisles that were too narrow for the scooter to navigate. As a result, she had to leave the scooter behind and painfully walk with a cane, which left her exhausted before we were even seated. The retail store itself was packed so tightly with merchandise that it felt more like navigating an obstacle course than shopping. Much of the merchandise was gift-shop fare at prices that seemed difficult to justify. The restaurant appeared disorganized from the moment we checked in. We watched multiple parties who arrived after us get seated before we did, including a party of two being seated at a table that could accommodate eight guests. Meanwhile, our elderly disabled relative was told she could wait in a chair next to the restroom. When we were finally called, we were seated at a table at the very back of the restaurant, requiring yet another long and painful walk for our relative. After looking over the menu, we found the prices surprisingly high for the offerings, and there wasn't enough that appealed to our group to justify staying. At that point, we decided to leave without ordering. After driving more than an hour based on the restaurant's reputation, the combination of poor accessibility, disorganized seating, and a menu that didn't provide good value made the trip feel like a complete waste of time. We ended up driving into Plant City instead, where we found a welcoming restaurant with reasonable prices and a much better overall experience.

It is buy one get one free, which is still fine with me because both my kids always end up getting tea. We noticed they have a new cherry flavor so of course we had to try it, It wasn't bad. I'm not a huge cherry person, but the kids liked it so we ended up getting a mini gallon of it. I myself decided to get a mango fresco tea mixed with lemonade and regular sweet tea, It's so good! The inside was pretty clean. There were some spots of spilled sweet tea on the counters, but nothing crazy.

Found this tea place randomly and wanted to try it…read more I don't like that many of their fun flavors have no bueno ingredients like titanium dioxide (Used to brighten product colors and may be a carcinogen and can disrupt the gut. ) or dyes etc. I was able to look up the strawberry passion that was just tea's, no caffeine, and some cane sugar. The tea was perfect, not too sweet, nice and cold and just perfect! I would definitely get this one again and hopefully they can change the ingredients to their other fun flavors without all the extras

Very good place for a last minute large brunch group…read more We were a party of 12, and we wanted brunch after the kids finished their soccer games. We were able to walk up to Canopy Road Cafe in Lithia without reservations, and they got 3 tables close to each other (on the patio) without any fuss. To add to it, the waitress was a doll, and the food was served in a very timely manner for the size of the party. The menu is big and full of brunch favorites. It wasn't all junk, either. I had the blackened salmon benedict. Was it the best quality salmon? No. But the hollandaise was tasty, the salmon was a generous portion, the spinach was nicely sauteed, and the poached eggs were appropriately runny. I liked that the standard side options included salad, fruit, and potatoes. There were healthy and unhealthy options, which was great. They have a decent kids menu, and we parents appreciated that the kids were given crayons and could play tic tac toe among themselves while the adults talked. The prices were fairly standard for a small chain brunch restaurant. Not a bargain, but nothing more than you'd expect to pay for a clean and pleasant suburban brunch experience.

Was looking for a breakfast spot and found this canopy location…read more The service was fast and great but not so much the food OR cleanliness of the restaurant. You're able to sit wherever you like and it was my fault for not really looking above the table I sat in. I ordered the pancakes with eggs. The pancake was dry and not tasty, the eggs weren't fully scrambled. Some of it was still uncooked...eeyuckk... anyways while waiting for the check I decided to really look up at the ceiling and seen all the dust accumulated on the lights, it was nasty. I wouldn't return at all.

With the introduction of a legit coffee shop in PS, Art Monkey has had to change its shop a bit…read more There's not much more on the coffee side, but they have Florida's own Working Cow ice cream now, and a pretty big selection of it. This hands down beats anyplace else nearby for ice cream if you have little ones. They do parties and stuff like every other kid-oriented place in East Hillsborough, that are loud and abrasive but that's not really Art Monkey's fault. Lots of painting involved.

Nice people, decent coffee, but no clearly posted hours or clear sense of what the heck is going on inside. With tons of space and a variety of random items sort of spread around, it could be a cool place to hang out, but.... It just doesn't make sense to me, or inspire comfortable feelings. Hard to tell when it is or will be open.

Cali Cafe is an underrated spot in the Tampa area that offers various types of cakes and sweets…read more Our friends recommended Cali Cafe, and we have been fans of their cakes and sweets ever since. We've tried their Wine Cake, Orange Cake, and Tres Leches. We absolutely loved their cakes and consider ourselves personal fans. The Tres Leches Cake from Cali Cafe has definitely surpassed Publix's Tres Leches Cake. This is certainly a must-try bakery in the area.

Colombian spots like this are my jam & it's been on my list to visit for a minute now. The breakfast Sammy definitely set this place apart from the rest. I'd never heard of this before and honestly it's quite genius. I went on a Saturday morning and boy was it busy busy! I placed my order with the friendly attendant the wait was a bit long but there was plenty of seating inside (i didn't realize how big this place was inside!) so i sat with my book and before i knew it i was walking out with my order! Thankfully i don't live far so i was home with my order in no time. The breakfast waffle Sammy was delicious i ordered mine with sausage and split half of it with my husband. It was soft and cheesy and I'd definitely get it again next time. I also ordered 3 regular pan de Bonos, an arepa con queso, alfajores, and i heard the guava and cheese muffins were a must so i grabbed one too. Oh yeah and two cafe con leches. I see they have lunch as well so I'm gonna have to go back for a lunch Sammy and maybe some empanadas. I love that they have all the tables inside. It's a cute spot to meet with friends for cafecito and treats.

Thankfully it was close by, we didn't have to go all the way into Tampa to find a great tea experience. Affordable too!! The settings are all fine china from England. You get 2 teas. An English breakfast black tea and a caffeine free herbal tea. Sugar and honey to complement. You do get a few courses as well. Soup and scone to start off. Then a tower of sweets and savory sandwiches. The cucumber sandwich was so good. I LOVED the soup and scones. Everything is homemade, amazing! The service was so friendly and nice. Our server poured our teas and explained everything we were getting. It was very relaxed and no rush. It was a great experience and we definitely left full! I would love to come back here again soon. Only note of improvement I think the outside could be cleaned up some. Thank you!

As a former corporate pastry chef for Hyatt Hotels for almost22 years and the owner of my own…read morefamily bakery and restaurant for 17 years, I know how hard this business is, and I rarely leave negative reviews. The disappointment began before we even walked through the front door. The entire entrance looked more like a junkyard than a tea room: oversized plastic chess pieces, random wood on the wall where a sign had been removed, dark staining that looked neglected, broken flower pots, old rusted garden furniture. My wife and I almost turned around. Had we been paying that day, we likely would have left. But we had a gift certificate, so we gave it a chance. What concerned me even more was the safety. The steps were in poor condition, and the handrail was extremely loose, moving several inches side to side. As someone with a disability, that felt unsafe. Accessibility should be basic. Inside, the owner and our server were kind and welcoming, and I genuinely appreciated that. But both teapots had been placed on the table before we were seated, and my tea was already cold. I had to ask for hot water just to have a proper cup, which I wouldn't expect from an afternoon tea. The biggest disappointment was the food. At forty five dollars per person, ninety for two, I expected quality and attention to detail. Instead, the sandwiches and pastries were among the poorest I've ever been served. I could only manage a couple of small sandwiches and one dessert before giving up. What surprised me most after our visit was reading the five-star reviews. Based on our experience, it is difficult for me to understand how this place earns that level of praise. I hope this is taken as constructive criticism. The staff was kind, but kindness can't overcome serious maintenance and quality issues. Sadly, I can't recommend it in its current state Update Thank you for responding We were celebrating my wife and I our retirement and chose not to create an awkward moment. Many people reflect afterwards. Our review reflects our honest experience."

I got the Everything bagel which came fresh out of the over it was still warm! Added chive cream cheese which was excellent, real pieces of chives in it you can tell it was handmade.

I am regretting that it took me almost a year to come here, but now that I know about it I'll have to make it a weekly routine. Nothing like a fresh bagel and cream cheese!
