    Such a great environment and the Purple Haze iced latte was outstanding. Many times you don't taste the Earl Grey tea strong enough but not with this one. Very well made. Staff was extremely friendly.

    Super cute place ! I’ve been here a few times now and it never disappoints. Got the Green tea KitKat matcha latte and it was delicious! Tried their food for the first time this visit and was once again impressed by the quality. I got the spinach and feta pastry and it was 10/10. The service here is always incredible, the baristas always make good conversation, good recommendations and never fail to make me smile. There’s a lot to look at in this place and some cool totes/stickers that you can buy if you want to show your love for this little place. The inside is clean, peaceful and comfortable. I can’t wait to go back : )

    Talk about a hidden gem that's been around a while. We've been passing by this quaint little cafe for years. I wish a place like this was around when I was going to USF, but I digress. Anyhow, awesome coffee and tea served up here along with some small bites, pastries and whatnot. They cater to vegans/vegetarians too, so something for everyone. Once inside this tiny bungalow turned cafe, you'll notice the random artwork and such, makes for a comfortable vibe to hangout and relax. You place your order with the cute coffee pixies behind the counter, super helpful and friendly. You just want to hug them, but then again, personal space, Covid, and harassment charges pending. So just leave them a good tip. Outside, there's a nice area to sip your coffee/tea and eat your food, very relaxing. Felicitous is a welcoming place worthy of waking up early to go get a a cup of Joe. Shame we didn't find this place earlier, guess we're not that hip to be in the "know." (Some of the coffee pixies flew away, probably changed majors or whatnot, still, they replenish their numbers, so all is not lost.)

    A cute unique independent coffee shop that offers great coffee and home baked goods. Vegan friendly and mostly sustainable in its trash usage. Stop Trippin’ (Vegan)- a delicious simple sandwich that doesn’t feel heavy. Served on a. Pressed Cuban bun, this sandwich uses hummus instead of mayo along with fresh crisp kale and tomato slices which is nice. The mushrooms were fresh but I would have preferred them cooked a bit more. Very light on your stomach. 4/5 Oat Milk Latte- delicious fresh espresso with a creamy oat milk. You can’t go wrong with this! 5/5 Dark Cherry Chocolate Clafoutis- they warmed it up for me and this was made in house. The almond cake mixed with baked cherries and warm dark chocolate make this gluten free treat a delight to have after the sandwich. Usually clafoutis can taste very eggy but this was not the case. Not sweet but definitely satisfies your sweet tooth! 5/5

    I order coffee and Cuban cheese toast most days during the work week. The baristas are so friendly and creative. Parking can be tricky but if you drive to the left of the building there is a huge lot in the back. I love sitting outside on a Sunday afternoon with a book and a latte!

    I moved near here from Illinois and have been struggling fitting in. I do online school and I decided to visit yesterday and get some work done. It is a beautiful shop with so many lovely, friendly people who come in. It’s a great place to go to feel at home. Great service and great quality. Going to make this a regular spot for me for sure.

    This is such a cute coffee shop! yesterday was my first time there and I simply loved it. They sell coffee, tea and pastries, but they also have some jewelry, accessories and clothes too. The whole place has a really cool boho style. I had a mocha with the white chocolate almond cake and I was obsessed. I also ordered the strawberry rose spritzer - delicious!! They have a nice outside patio. Loved the staff too. I can't wait to come back!

    Felicitous, so aptly named, has been a regular coffee… er stomping ground of mine for many years. The laid back atmosphere, many times full of the studious, also felt inviting to the professional or causal visitor. Featuring an eclectic mix of pastries and standard caffeine fare, this will continue to be one of my favorites in Tampa.

    It's a little spendy. But it's super delicious, local and responsibly sourced. The ladies are always friendly.

    So my fiancé was seeing a doctor in the area, and I decided instead of sitting in the waiting room, I would a find coffee house. I do a quick Google search, and Felicitous pops up! Now I will admit, it wasn’t so easy to find, but was I glad I persevered! This place was so awesome, when I picked my fiancé up from her appointment, I brought her back! And we will be return and recommend to family and friends! Nothing but love for Felicitous!❤️☕️

    I ordered an iced mocha latte with oat milk. The coffee was delicious, but I gave them 4 stars because there’s not enough parking in the front and charged a $1.50 for oat milk which is very expensive from other coffee houses in Tampa that have charged me 80 cents. I only get oat milk because of allergies.

    Just stumbled upon this little place by accident. We're glad we did. My daughter ordered a Spring Break in Tokyo and loved it. Now we have to come back and try other things from the menu. Too many to choose from. Love supporting small business! Friendly 😊

    Cute, Creative, & Trendy: Great coffee and unique flavors. A unique coffee shop to study and read books. No loud noises which will help you a lot to concentrate on what you do. They do have a variety of food and drinks you can select from. I honestly love the great exterior & interior all over the place. Trust me! You will never be disappointed for sure! A memorable place to relax.

    What a lovely coffeehouse. The staff was very nice and the coffee was even better. Will definitely stop back in when I'm back in Tampa to try some of their cold brew next time!

    The food we had was really good (a ham and cheese croissant that they baked for us), but the coffee was awful, so bad that we ended up throwing one out when we got to our car later (and they were both the same - honey iced lattes). It tasted of mostly milk mixed with burnt beans with little flavor/honey taste. I recall coming here years ago and really loving the funky study spot, but this time it was quite overcrowded and a little dirty to be frank. (Not their fault) We waited about 20 minutes for someone to leave, but when no folks got up we left. I did use the bathroom (super relieved that they had one!) and it was not well maintained, definitely could use a proper cleaning. I do want to note that the service was great, they were overcrowded like I said but were extremely communicative and apologetic about the delay. Overall, we won't be back until quality issues are addressed. Edit: Felicitous, thank you for taking the time to promptly respond. Since we could not find seating and were in a rush to get some work done to deadline, we did have to leave right away and, admittedly, could not wait to have our coffee orders corrected. I HATE to leave a poor review on a small business, and if you can see my prior reviews I rarely do, but was hoping you would take this honest feedback as an opportunity to investigate quality and improve your small business.

    I’ve been here twice. Had coffee and hot chocolate both times along with some muffins and danishes. They have a moody whimsical ambience with both indoor and outdoors seating. They had a night market my first visit, which was quite interesting and added to the whimsy feel. The coffee wasn’t that great but the baked goods were fine.

    One of my favorite local places to get coffee! My favorite is probably the Arabian Nights but you can't go wrong. Their sandwiches are also REALLY good. The atmosphere is so nice and they have a lot of cute local art and accessories for purchase as well.

    I come here frequently to get some caffeine for studying, and the drinks are always amazing. The prices are similar to Starbucks, sometimes a bit more expensive, but the quality of drinks and customer service make it much better than any Starbucks I’ve been to. Recently, I had a to-go drink that was made incorrectly, but I didn’t have time to go back and ask for it to be remade before they closed that day. I called the store, and a worker directed me to send a message to the email that’s posted on their website. The owner got back to me quickly and gave me a replacement drink the next day. She was super helpful and so kind! Definitely my favorite coffee shop near USF, and I’d recommend it over anything else!!

  • 5/5 Kelsey D. 2 years ago on Google
    Very cute and chill coffee shop. I have been here a few times now, and find it a nice relaxing place to read or work. And they have some fun festive drinks!

  • 5/5 Kaitlyn H. 1 month ago on Google • 3 reviews New
    I have been meaning to try this cute little place for months and today I finally have and I can say it was SO worth the wait. I ordered a cold brew (vanilla with oatmilk) with a ham, egg, & cheese croissant and it honestly blew my mind. The ladies at the counter were so helpful and welcoming, and the atmosphere is so relaxing whether you want to study, read a book, or just sit outside and enjoy the weather. Definitely will be coming here again! Cutest little hidden gem :)

  • 1/5 Dani M. 4 months ago on Google
    The girl today was not very nice as soon as I walked in it was like I was bothering her by being there and this is comparing how she was nice and bubbly to another guest….. really wanted to like this place since it’s adorable. Coffee here is an acquired taste so I’m sure others will like it, it’s okay to me

  • 5/5 Carl V. 5 months ago on Google
    Lovely coffee shop, great drinks, great staff. We visit weekly and they never let us down. Long live Felicitous!! If you are from anywhere that has something you call a "coffee house," this is the closest thing you're going to get in Tampa Bay!

  • 2/5 Adrienne S. 7 months ago on Google
    I usually regularly frequent this place and have loved their coffee. This morning I went to pick up my order (which costs >$8 as I get a large iced latte) only to be handed a cup half filled with a latte and be told “my ice machine is broken. This is all I can offer you”. The staff member then turned and walked away. I would have expected to be offered an alternative or a refund or something. I appreciate good coffee and don’t mind paying but I was really put off by this experience. I also work at a hospital and can’t just go get my own ice to fill this so I’ve essentially purchased a Luke warm 12 oz latte for 8 dollars. I just feel this should have been handled differently.

  • 5/5 Vicky T. 7 months ago on Google
    I love love LOVE this place!! I stumbled upon this place on Google maps I was looking for places near USF, and I am so happy I did! The first time I stopped by, I got a matcha milk chocolate latte, and it was so delicious!!!! I also love the atmosphere here, it feels really safe and cozy. And there's outdoor seating!! I loved it so much that I invited my sibling and and a friend here, and they also loved it. HIGHLY recommend for both a quick stop or to study at!

  • 4/5 Kimberly M. 5 months ago on Google
    This cafe is extremely charming and cozy. I love that they display and sell local artists’ prints. The coffee and food are both great, if a little on the expensive side. I like that they give you mugs if you’re dining in, it really adds to the homey, comfortable atmosphere. Parking is a little tricky because you have to go through a narrow drive way on the side of the building to the back where there is a small field to park in, but I’ve never had any trouble getting in and out. It is a great place to sit down and chat.

    Love that it's a female owned business and have more hand made items for sale inside. Love the support. Coffee was great. Wide variety of snacks

  • 5/5 James P. 1 year ago on Google
    Just behind an actual Starbucks, you gotta check this place out if you love tea! The specialty teas all sound amazing. I went with the Merlin Tea and now I'm officially a Wizard.

  • 5/5 Dustin M. 2 years ago on Google
    This joint is a little hidden gem. Bit hard to find, but worth it. Parking can be tight, but plenty of other spots to sneak in.

  • 5/5 Kayla R. 9 months ago on Google
    Discovered this place one day and was hooked. Beats Starbucks by a long shot. Vast amount of options for coffee and tea and the staff is always amazing. I’m not sure if V is the owner or not but she is always on point! Atmosphere is super cute/quaint with a mini shop with adorable clothes and accessories. Highly recommend!! 🩷

  • 5/5 Sierra S. 1 year ago on Google
    This place deserves 6 stars!!! Legitimately the best espresso drinks, matcha, and vibes in Tampa. I’m obsessed with their Dreamcatcher latte (vanilla and lavender). The portions are huge, and they have so many creative, delectable sounding drinks I can’t wait to try. I will come here on the weekends and spend upwards of 5-6 hours doing homework, and buying drinks and snacks. One of my favorite coffee shops ever.

  • 5/5 Nadiyah M. 11 months ago on Google
    Always a great vibe at Felicitous! Owners are literal sweethearts! Love grabbing an Arabian nights iceed coffee and doing some magical mehndi ✨️

  • 5/5 Chris M. 1 year ago on Google
    Ok now THIS is a coffee shop! It's a converted cozy looking home. It's like walking into Grandma's house just as she's making amazing coffee. Great atmosphere and super friendly service and YESSS my coffee was perfect!

  • 5/5 Meishan L. 9 months ago on Google
    Love this cool little coffee shop !! Very nice staff and makes me feel welcomed every time we go. The outdoor area is my favorite section of the place in the wintertime. Nutella cookies are so good. Also love it that they roast their own coffee bean! Recommended!

  • 5/5 Jason C. 1 year ago on Google
    There's just something amazing about this coffee shop. The atmosphere is relaxing and warm. We always stop by here on our way back home to Gainesville. They have such cool and interesting flavors of lattes. Yeah!

  • 5/5 Joseph H. 9 months ago on Google
    love stopping by before work to get some coffee and breakfast sandwich. its great they have rotating food and drink items that I can try different things! they also have artisan /indie market every month that I bring my family too. my favorite drink is the salty dog. their coffee is not overly sweet like Starbucks (where its basically just dessert) and my wife loves their vegan options !

    Felicitous is a hidden little gem near USF and one of the beautiful cafes in the area. It has a lot of seating options along with the free wi-fi which helps students to work. The atmosphere at the cafe is positive and calm with the beautiful artworks inside the cafe. The cafe has a lot of different coffee options along with the small bites and plates to eat along with the coffee. After exploring the menu from the menu I ordered Mocha and Bagel with Cream Cheese Spread. The service was also good and I got my mocha coffee in 5 minutes. The coffee was hot, freshly brewed and delicious coffee. I also got the bagel in 5 minutes which was hot and roasted along with the cream cheese spread which makes it delicious. Definitely a place to hang out with friends and enjoy coffee as well as small bites. Do stop by Felicitous when you are in the area.

  • 5/5 Ryan M. 1 year ago on Google
    Really loved the atmosphere. Felt like an unassuming cottage off of a very high traffic area. Tucked away so you didn’t hear any noise from the street. The staff was friendly and I liked that they had outdoor seating. There was a small boutique and a small seating area inside with nice decor. Rather bohemian. Who doesn’t love a little crunch though? Would frequent this place if I was local. Breakfast sandwich was pretty par for the course: egg and cheese on a croissant. Hard to complain about unless you don’t like crumbs, but I’m not a complete psycho and I know what to anticipate with a fresh croissant. My only critique is that I wished my “teacher’s pet” drink had more of a peanut butter kick. It was mocha with peanut butter. Only had a hint.
