I came here for the first time today and was welcomed by Elyse (I hope I spelled her name right)…read moreshe was the sweetest person and you can tell she truly loves working here and values the coffee and experience she gives everyone. She was patient, knowledgeable and helped me get a drink that was close to what I make at home which has been rare at any coffee shop. I loved my coffee but loved my experience even more. She truly made a customer out of me and I will be back to support this place again and will share with my friends and family. I can't wait to try the rest of the menu and enjoy a few work hours here. Truly such a cute place! Clean and welcoming! Thank you for the experience Elyse! You are appreciated and I hope the owners know that you value their establishment and they are lucky to have someone like you on their team!

The parking is very funky, water to walk to. If homey is what you are looking for for this is the place. I prefer outside cafes and enjoying the sunshine. The inside of this home is pretty cramped, nowhere to stand while waiting for drinks. If one of the employees actually told me I could wait outside and they have a window they can call your name and give you your order that way, that would have been stellar customer service. Also know that if you would like a nice ceramic mug like I do, they won't ask you for here or to go, they will just give you a paper cup. I asked if they ever make drinks in mugs and the kind gentleman said yes if you are staying inside. He didn't ask so I didn't know. Miscommunication problem here on the business side. But whatever. The outside could be more pleasant and comfortable and almost return business from me if they actually had their employees CLEAN THE OUTSIDE TABLES AND CHAIRS! It wasn't enjoyable to hunker down with a table full of bird shit, ( I love nature and ima free hugger) I tolerated it to try to enjoy the I e vanilla latte. I asked if they use real extracts or puréed pumpkin as most establishments just use simple sugar syrups and I was hoping g that because they weren't big corporate chain they would strive for less processed especially because of the price of their drinks. There seemed to be a lot of downtime after a rush so there's really no excuse for not cleaning up crumbs or bird shit off the surfaces where their customers are supposed to eat and drink. For me to return here, I would really love to see clean outside, one more shade screen they don't cost much, and more hanging plants and flowers on tables or plants in general would make this space beautiful, add some bamboo for privacy and voila I might show up again. For now, I'll stick to businesses that stem e not only for friendly customer service but a clean environment as well. Bummer wanted to support local. Quemaria coffee does it right!!!! Boho but clean and nice global music playing, that would be nice here as some peoples conversations are loud. Something to drown out the traffic as well. They could add a few more tables just purchased from thrift store. I wanted to LOVE but this place is probably best for students that don't have higher expectations.

You'd never guess busy Fowler Avenue and all those shiny new businesses are just steps away. This is free-spirited, relaxing and zen. You can study here, chill-out and reset. It's colorful and very sunny, but it would also be the snuggliest place to sit while it's raining and just sip away and read. There are so many drink and food options here. I had the pistachio matcha with strawberry cold foam and a spinach/feta pastry. Both were good choices. You can order at the register or from a QR code and they'll call you to come get it. It's so casual and laid back. This adorable hangout would melt away any work frazzles I could possible walk in with. I love the low ceilings and the vintage hardwood floors and the slouchy couch and the eastern light streaming in the front window of this older, repurposed home. There's original artwork everywhere, including the ceiling (some of it's for sale). There's also a rack of clothing items, jewelry, scrunchies and other items for sale. I love the eclectic vibe-and the guitar propped up by the front window. Phoebe could definitely sing "Smelly Cat" here. Heck, they're so welcoming here, Ross could probably set up his keyboard and share "the sound." They DO have live music here-and a side patio. There's some parking up front and extra parking in back. And the service is friendly. I'm so glad I found this spot. I'll be back to try the apple fritter croissant and soak up more relaxation. Happy days from Felicitous!

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've been coming here at least once or twice a week for about a year. My husband came across their FB page and it looked awesome so we went to check it out and found it to be just as amazing as it sounds. The coffee drinks are amazing, and the juice selection will never disappoint you. there is something for everyone's tastes. The variety of mods is always great and updated, no dusty, stuff with cobwebs in their display cases like you find in some places. With the hardware, again you will find there is something for everyone, whether you have been vaping since "before it was cool" or you are a person who is just wanting to give it a shot, the staff will definitely be able to help you choose the perfect device to puff away on some yummy juices. Also, speaking of the staff, they are all awesome! They know about the products they are selling and serving and they are also all really nice to sit and chat with while you have your coffee, kratom, or kava and vape. If you haven't been here yet, what are you doing with your life? (lol) You seriously need to stop in and check out what you have been missing! read more

Friendly staff! Being a middle age traveling guy in Tampa from Chicago you never quite know what to expect. I've been to several shops all over the US and typically am greeted with the younger generation "what's up man". Not here! Very powerful line of premium juice, most all can be sampled. On top of all that, you can sip on an espresso in a no-rush environment. I felt comfortable being in the cafe the minute I walked in. If you are traveling and looking for a vape shop that has a great selection of premium juice, you must stop by. They also just opened another shop in Brandon, FL near Chik Fil A/Walmart. read more

Not a bad little shop. So far they only really seem to have the premium juices which is nice but sometimes I need to stock up and don't feel like paying 25 dollars a bottle to do it. If they're not going to make their own juices they should look into some other locally owned juice vendors for some solid yet cheaper options. Also, both times I've been in the staff was a little on the clueless side. No problem since I get most of my answers on the internet anyways and I expect their knowledge of the products to rise as they continue operations. read more

Twisted Kava Café is the perfect mix of chill and productive. Whether you're knocking out work or just need a peaceful spot to vibe, this place has you covered. The seating is cozy, the energy is calm, and there are plenty of outlets if you're on your laptop grind. Bonus? They've got a full bar--so you can go from coffee to kava to cocktails without leaving your seat. Ideal for remote workers, creatives, or anyone looking to unwind in a lowkey, stylish space. Definitely a hidden gem worth checking out! read more
