However - this place is killer. I've tried several lattes and the cold brew, and they are phenomenal. I've brought people coffee from here, and each person has agreed that it's some of the best we've had in Tampa recently. The ambiance is interesting - it's in a kitchen store. But it works! The team is so great, and the shop currently has some of my fave baristas from formerly open shops. They're awesome! I highly recommend stopping in.

The flavors of the coffee are fun, but just like any coffee shop, you may get a not so great latte sometimes, and when you're paying $10-$11, your tolerance for sub-perfection is low. This location is super convenient for us and even has a drive through, yet we find ourselves avoiding it every time when it's time to choose a coffee spot. Nothing bad to say about the service or environment - all fine.

On a very warm, Monday morning, way up on North Dale Mabry... almost to state road 54... in a plaza…read moreI had never noticed before... sits a little slice of Chicago or New York. 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!

We've passed this place several times not even noticing it. Glad Yelp led us here today because it was fantastic!! Cute place with indoor and outdoor seating. We chose to eat outside and it was nice. They have several clean umbrella tables available. We both ordered the Cuban. I got chips with mine and hubs got potato salad with his. You can make any sandwich a combo for $2 more which comes with a drink, chips or potato salad. Cubans were made fresh and served hot and pressed. They were delicious! I loved the potato salad also. Next time I'm definitely getting that! We will most definitely be making another trip back to this place. Definitely made it to my dining favs on Yelp!

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.

It's eccentric decor and theme makes it delightfully quirky and fun to visit. Understanding that good boba tea (Ten Ren being the baseline) is hard to come by in the Tampa Bay area, Manga Tea is pretty decent. At the time of our visit, the boba-rista was incredibly friendly and genuine - her welcoming attitude definitely suited this business - so kudos to her! The Tiger and standard milk teas served their purpose, but the fruit smoothies stood out pretty well. The menu is a mix of traditional flavors and the neo-bubble drink trend (more toward the latter). There is a decent amount of sitting room at which soft-cover manga publications are situated. Aside from the manga reads, there is also a free single-player arcade and nice pay-to-play claw machine. There are also a few non-beverage/food items for purchase for those anime fans. This is definitely a great hangout spot for those that just want to enjoy other like-minded anime/manga purveyors. I wouldn't be surprised if Manga Tea hosted some local/mini ComiCon event as it would be an ideal venue. Overall, an incredibly kid-teen friendly and safe environment to grab your boba drinks from.

Stopped here for a quick snack and accidentally stumbled across some really great Tacos!…read more This is a very small food truck, well more like a mobile concession stand, actually and very easy to miss if you're not looking closely. La Chica told me about it a few months back, and for the life of me, I couldn't picture where it could possibly be located in my mind's map. So pay close attention near North Mobley and Gunn Highway. I ordered 3 tacos. Carne asada, carnitas and pollo. All three were very good. Corn tortillas, cilantro, fresh onion, queso fresco and deliciously flavored meats. Of the 3 though, my favorite was the chicken variation, followed by the carnitas. If you like chicharrones and pork belly, you will absolutely love the carnitas taco. The food is made to order, so don't expect the speed of Taco Bell. You're going to wait a good 5-10 minutes for your food, but it's totally worth it. Kairo's prefers cash, but accepts cards as well, so don't be afraid to stop if you don't have greenbacks on you.
