    The inside is really pretty and clean looking. Very boho sheek! The service is great and the owner was very friendly and helpful with explaining the menu. I came hoping to get donuts but they no longer make them. They've replaced them with muffins. I opted for a waffle and cookies. The cookies were good and sweet, and they didn't have a chalky protein taste. I'd get them again! I had the Elvis waffle, no bacon bits. Add pecan and Nutella. It was delicious!! Made to order, and thick and fluffy!! The flavors were great too. I'll definitely be back

    Cute smoothie shop with tropical aesthetics. Def a place to hang out since they had board games to play. Friendly team. Menu has a little bit of everything to offer. Got the strawberry cheesecake protein smoothie which tasted like a cheesecake with a hint of strawberry. The coffees with protein seemed to be the popular choice that day.

    Here's the revised version: Protein Monkey is a beautiful spot with stunning decorations--definitely an Instagram-worthy place! The service was super nice, even though there was only one person working when I visited and it was quite busy. Despite that, I got my order in a reasonable amount of time, which I appreciated. This was my first time here, and they offer a variety of protein shakes, teas, protein coffee, and more. From the taste, I suspect they use Herbalife protein, which may appeal to some. The teas all seemed pretty similar, but unfortunately, I wasn't a fan. I also tried a green juice, which was packed with ice--at $9, I didn't feel it was worth the price. I ordered the Elvis waffle, and while the presentation was beautiful, the texture wasn't quite what I prefer. It wasn't crispy enough for me, and the toppings, while delicious, might've made it a bit too soft. The waffle itself didn't have that typical "protein" taste, which was a plus, but overall, it wasn't something that would draw me back. One thing I really liked and appreciated is that they have games available at each table, like Jenga, dominoes, and a fun hanging monkeys game. It's such a nice touch that makes the space feel cozy and fun for friends or family to enjoy together. I think the pricing is on the higher side for what you get, but the staff was incredibly kind and welcoming, which made the experience pleasant.

    Obsessed with protein monkey now. Such delicious food and satisfying reward to know how much protein! Will definitely stop here after my trips to the gym. The açaí bowl was perfect -- love how it comes with peanut butter and coconut on top. Little pricier than expected at $15 but worth the money and a large portion for the price. Star of the show are their waffles, my friend loves the Romeo & Juliet. Above all else, such friendly customer service in an adorable place to enjoy a nice coffee date or lunch.

    I opted for the waffle & tea combo These yummy things are packed with protein The churro waffle was hot and fresh covered with little churro cereal pieces The tea was watermelon mint nice and refreshing. Coming in at 20 bucks it's not a cheap meal but it is a sweet tasty one. Cute dining space Order at the counter friendly staff brought me the food Assorted waffles teas and protein drinks are on the monkeys menu.

    Easy five star review, from the vibe to the decor to Yani at the counter to the protein-focused shakes and waffles, I really enjoy this place! I'm honestly surprised it isn't packed with a line out the door. Perhaps Westchase hasn't gotten the memo yet. They should, we need to help them thrive. Upon entering you'll notice a really cool/hip but very very welcoming Miami type vibe. While the menu is relatively small, making the choice is so difficult, everything looks so delicious and actually is. Everything on the menu is custom made. Nothing is premade waiting to be served. The taste and texture difference is obvious. So far I have had the chocolate protein shake (non dairy) and a wonderfully delicious protein waffle. Will be back often for sure.

    Loved the aesthetic of this place. My protein shake was also delicious, I has the peanut cookie. I am looking forward to coming back and trying more. Only complaint is that the wifi was slow.

    The Elvis Protein Waffle

    I garante this is the best healthy Protein place you will ever try. This place is beautiful inside with such amazing energy and also thanks to the staff which were super friendly and helpful from welcoming us in, explaining the Menu and serving us what we ordered. I got the most popular Protein Waffle called The Elvis with 30g of protein in them. Everything was to die for . If you try this place you won't be disappointed

    Took my daughter here for some protein mini doughnuts. Delicious. They have a variety of flavors. She chose the peanut butter, coconut and churro. She loved them all. I got a chocolate IV. It was so yummy. I actually spoke to one of the owners. They are from Miami and have opened this location and plan to open others in the area. Go check them out for a healthy snack.

    This spot is super cute and trendy! They really have the most delicious protein waffles and shakes around! Honestly I don't know how something that taste so good can also be healthy lol but they make it happen! The staff is super friendly and sweet and it always feels very welcoming! I live going after a workout in the mornings or when I'm craving something sweet without having to indulge in something unhealthy! Great spot to also grab a protein coffee with a friend and just relax for a little! Check them out :)

    Wow..... never knew Raining Berries had so much to offer. I was pleasantly surprised…read more Although I only got Coffee, I did love the ambiance. It was a really nice vibe in this location. Which makes me want to visit again. My husband and I met up with some friends and sat in these super comfy chairs. I enjoyed a 16 oz Cappuccino with Vanilla. It came out in a really cute cup. My husband had an Americano with hazelnut flavor and half and half. We both finished our cup and I enjoyed the flavor. There are a few things on their menu I want to try. So I will be going back.

    I love Raining Berrries! The food, the cool concept of the meeting room (even though I'll probably…read morenever use it), and the drinks! Great coffee house with a huge variety of breakfast and lunch options in addition to snacks, not to mention an environment like no other. There are plenty of tables to sit as well as lounge chairs in addtion to the chairs in the conference room. I love seeing that ubiquitous phone booth like I see at the other Raining Berries locations. They used to have waffles, but the menu has changed, so I went with the gourmet grilled cheese instead. It was very good with the additon of pesto and dried tomatoes adding a different dimension of texture and flavor. The bread was soft, thick, and well toasted. Came with a lot of chips. The one thing I didn't anticipate was the size of it. It was actually TWO whole sandwiches. Good thing I brought my appetite, though I had no trouble finishing it. The honey lavender latte was delicious too and really hit the spot with the sandwich. The girls here were very nice and welcoming when I came in and patient when I asked a few questions about the menu and order selection. This location lets me bring my dog, so I'll be letting this be one of my new regular coffee spots.

    Eclipse Cafe is hands down one of my favorite spots in Tampa! I tried both their coffee and matcha…read moredrinks along with some food, and everything was absolutely delicious. The matcha was perfectly balanced -- not too sweet, just smooth and rich. The coffee was equally great, full of flavor. Beyond the drinks, the vibe here is amazing -- such a cozy, aesthetic space that makes it perfect for hanging out or getting some work done. On top of that, the staff was super friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend Eclipse Cafe if you're in the Tampa area -- will definitely be back!

    Most interesting experience I think I have had to date at a Coffee Shop Drive Thru…read more I asked which of their breakfast burritos is better and the differences between them because the names sound pretty similar and the response was "I don't know. I've never had them. Up to you, I guess." I don't know mind not having tried certain menu items, but you should maybe know the differences between them and at least tell me which customers order or like more? Also a 6 year old gave me a coffee, not the one I ordered, which isn't even the point. I am confused as to why a 6 year old is working? Eventually got the right order from the girl who originally took my order in the first place. Coffee was good. Burrito was okay. Experience was questionable? Don't know if I'd come back-- I only came because I was in the area and there a very little local coffee shops in the area so I thought I would give it a shot.

    Today was my first visit to Grind Coffee Bar, and it will probably be my last. The place itself…read moreisn't bad overall, but the service experience was extremely frustrating. We chose to sit on the patio and waited for nearly 30 minutes without a single employee checking on our table. The line inside was all the way to the door, so at first we assumed someone would eventually come by, take our order, or at least acknowledge us. Instead, we watched multiple tables on both sides of us receive service while our table was completely ignored. Eventually, we ordered through the QR code on the menu. What wasn't clear is that QR code orders are apparently treated exactly like takeout orders. When our first item was ready, it was handed to us in a plastic container inside a bag. We explained that we were dining in, not taking food to go. I specifically asked a staff member named Graham if the remaining 3 dishes could simply be served on regular plates. He told me "that wasn't possible and that QR code orders automatically come in to-go containers". That explanation made very little sense considering we were sitting at a table in the restaurant. A few minutes later, one of my friends flagged down another server, who had no issue arranging for the food to be served on actual plates. That inconsistency was honestly mind-blowing. To make things even stranger, one coffee arrived in a ceramic mug while the rest came in disposable to-go cups. Nothing about the service felt organized or logical. As for the food, it was fine. Not bad, but nothing particularly memorable or worth making a special trip for. Given that I drove about an hour and paid tolls to visit, I definitely won't be making that drive again. I understand places get busy, but basic service still matters. If you're asking customers to tip when ordering through a QR code, serving dine-in food on actual plates instead of plastic takeout containers doesn't seem like an unreasonable expectation. There are simply too many other coffee shops with better service for me to return. 3 stars because the atmosphere was decent and the food was okay, but the service was disappointing from start to finish.
