    What a cool spot to hang or pull out your laptop and work. The food is thoughtful and health-conscious. They offer a wide variety of coffee drinks. I recommend the Dirty Thaiger... which is a delightful Thai Tea with a coffee twist. The staff was super friendly and accommodating to a custom order for my child. Definitely recommend!

    I went here today with a group of friends for a late breakfast/early lunch & coffee. Amazing experience, everyone was so friendly & helpful. Merchandise area was well stocked with inclusive sizing as well. I ordered a cold brew with almond milk, 2 pumps of vanilla & 2 pumps of caramel & it was amazing. Super sweet in the best way! Also ordered the Chicken Pesto sandwich & it was delicious!!! Definitely recommend!

    This place was like upwards of $40 for two people. I would not mind paying that for good food and coffee but this is the worst cafe I’ve been to! I don’t like that the ingredients of the menu items aren’t listed on the menu board. I ordered $9 avocado toast thinking it was a safe option, it came out with just avocado mash, spinach, and two huge slices of tomato…OH and some spicy oil. There are pictures on the website but no descriptions in the restaurant? Also the coffee was just gross. The $9 breakfast sandwich was alright but nothing special especially for the prices. I’ll go to any other overpriced coffee shop in tampa before I subject myself to this infuriating gentrified hipster cafe. Coffee for $7-$8 should taste good! At least drinkable!! Blind tiger cafe needs to open their eyes to what good quality food and service mean!! 👁️👁️

    They make the worst chai latte I have ever tasted. It was so bitter I couldn’t drink it. When I asked for something else after drinking only one sip, they charged me for the replacement. The banana bread tastes like a banana extract and not real bananas. The cheese danish was tasty. I suggest having it warmed, if you come here. Starbucks seems a better option to be honest.

    We wanted one of their pastries warmed up, but they shut their over down even though they didn’t close for another hour. They microwaved it instead so it was nice and rubbery/chewy when we got it. Upon leaving, I went to throw our trash away, but the only garbage can there was so full that trash was coming out of the front of it. Other than that, the cashier was friendly and the coffee was quite good.

    Super quiet and quaint study spot Perfect for students and also young adults Came here with a friend thinking they would try the Thai coffee, but instead we both ordered matcha lattes lol The match latte was pretty good! I would recommend! It’s high quality matcha because the drink itself did not oxidize to a brown green in the span of three hours, which is signs of good matcha.

    The staff here were super friendly and very knowledgeable of the menu to help you order. I was disappointed they didn't have many vegan options as far as food wise goes, but it you're looking for just drinks, I would recommend here. The strawberry lemonade is super sweet and refreshing on a hot day. Coffee drinks were also very good as well.

    Although the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, we were not overwhelmed with the place. It was just kind of boring and didn't make an impression that would make us want to return. Although we dined in, they served our coffee in to-go cups which is a turn off for me. For some reason, also, I could not order a dairy free version of a cafe con leche.

    We were in Hyde park on Sunday morning and was looking for a coffee place to have coffee. We saw Blind Tiger Cafe near us and we already had coffee before at The blind tiger cafe at different location so we were confident about getting an amazing coffee at The Blind Tiger Cafe. The cafe had an amazing atmosphere with beautiful decorated cafe. The cafe offers different coffee options along with quick bites. The cafe was full with people enjoying the coffee and bites. From the menu we ordered Hot Cappuccino with Oat Milk and Butterscotch flavor and Dirty Thaiger. The order was quick and soon we got our coffee. First we got our Hot Cappuccino which was delicious with butterscotch flavor and freshly roasted coffee. Then we had our Dirty Thaiger which is more like Thai Tea and it was delicious. Amazing coffee and coffee was also freshly brewed with great taste.

    so wonderful! absolutely adored the atmosphere and the barista who took my order was the sweetest. 10/10 such a great experience here!

    A small fun cafe that had patrons ranging from families with dogs and strollers to folks hard at work on their computers. We just had an iced coffee and a Dirty Thiager but there was people eating there and plenty taking food to go. The store was clean and included an area for their merchandise. The coffee was very good and the special Dirty Thiager drink was excellent. Layers of goodness mixed together to make a wonderful drink.

    Sorry for the bad review but I ordered 2 cappuccinos and they were not good. First of all I would not even call these cappuccinos…more of a latte. Also, the milk was way too hot, something inexperienced baristas often do, it makes a difference. The taste of the espresso was also not what I would hope for from a good third wave style coffee house.

    This place wasn’t worth the $6.35 to park and there’s no instructions how to find the parking, but I found it around the block. There wasn’t much customization available for anything. I thought they might have fresh baked bagels/bakery items, but I don’t believe they are fresh baked. I got the Turkey Avocado sandwich. I asked for yellow mustard instead of aioli. I got it home, it had aioli, the bread was too hard to bite into, and the turkey was dry. The cat and dog liked the turkey at least and the tomato and greens tasted good. The coffee was fine.

    The staff are so friendly! Came in at 10am on a weekday and they weren't too slammed. We ordered two cold brew coffees and they were great. This place is LGBT safe. The outdoor seating is right on Howard Ave, but the landscaping and the tables actually make it a cute patio setup anyway. Nice quick spot for coffee and food!

    Coffee shop with WiFi so there are usually people working or studying from here and even have a printer if you need. Although it’s odd that the WiFi actually isn’t faster (6-8Mbps) considering how many people work from here. They have many vegan and gluten free options. The staff is fantastic and friendly

    A coffee cafe with small clothing and merchandise shop....with a printer...I guess this place is a cafe, a shop and a remote office. The coffee is on par with other handcraft coffee shops, The kitchen doesn't opened until 9am, so I only got a bagel so can't comment much about the food.

    The breakfast sandwiches and coffee were good. The service wasn't that great, and the baked goods were horrible. We were given a frozen muffin. When we asked for the muffin to be warmed up they microwaved it and it turned into a hot doughy blob.
