    Very cute little coffee spot, lots of seating. Lots of options on the menu to choose from. Small local and extremely down to earth experience. Unlike most coffee places, you have a few Barista's, and a few patrons waiting for their fresh little cup of coffee, tea, or fresh Cuban toast from the nearby bakery. They are kind, quick, and very delicious.

    Michigander here that lived in Tampa for 3 years. Came back for a visit and KNEW that getting some Cuban toast was a must! Found this really cool place and already can’t go back for a visit when I’m back in town :)

    First time here! Have had this placed saved for a long time but never manage to wake up early enough to catch the opening time so I'm glad I manage to catch it today! Ordered their Cafe Con leache with almond milk and it was good! The spot is super hidden so it was hard to locate it but I love it! It's a nice mini spot with few parking but I'm assuming there's more in the back side. Cute little paradise looking spot! Would need to come back to try out their food selections! Workers were friendly as well! Makes the experience 10x enjoyable. I can envision this place popping during warmer weathers so will have to come by when it does get warmer again.

    Went here because of the good reviews and got a 5 dollar latte that has zero taste of espresso in it. If you like the taste of coffee do not come here. The staff was nice and the atmosphere is cool so 2 stars for that but just wasted 22$ on coffee and cold brew that tastes like milk

    Been going here for years. Great staff that turn out equally amazing coffee. My fav item is the sproda (which may or may not still be on the menu but they will still make it for you!) Which is a shot of espresso in sparkling water with the syrup of your choice (lavender is my go to). Outdoor courtyard really separates this place from other shops. Love the people, vibes, and coffee so 10/10 every time.

    Spaddy's Coffee Co. on Florida Avenue in Tampa is a great place for quality coffee and breakfast food. I really like their fresh toast that they have here and it goes well with everything. They have a good outdoor space with a cool and relaxed atmosphere that is enjoyable. The staff here is very friendly and efficient at getting everything ready.

    Give me that alleyway coffee any day of the week. Spaddy's is essentially a coffee truck that has set up in an alley in Seminole Heights and has built all kinds of interesting things around it. Old vans, mannequin parts, plants and murals join forces to create one of the most eclectic spots in all of the Bay area. All this design would be for naught if Spaddy's didn't have a good product. Thankfully they do. Spaddy's is probably the only coffee shop I've frequented that has convinced me to regularly purchase their special. They know how to marry unique and original in a tasty way. I remember an orange flavored latte (called the Florida Man) that really showed me how coffee can leave typical behind and become something new and fascinating. Spaddy's offers food items, I've never tried any of it. They also sell whole beans so you can bring their coffee home. I bought their Heights Blend home during my last visit. I was not disappointed.

    On Saturday morning I went to see the sunrise. After sunrise i was looking for a place to have coffee. I searched around and decided to have coffee at Spaddy's Coffee. It is a cool place and they provide a seating area also to enjoy coffee. By browsing through the menu I decided to order Espresso coffee with Milk plus Butter Toast. I got the order quickly. The coffee was hot and freshly roasted. Loved the coffee. The toasted bread was also good. Overall a nice place to have coffee.

    My daughter have acquired a habit of coming here almost every day now. The barista is amazing, the food is great, and the coffee is delicious. I’m really picky about coffee, and the coffee here is consistently perfect.

    I LOVE this place, I always feel taken care of, the service is pleasant, the people working are always so kind. It’s definitely a Seminole Heights gem, and one of the quirky places that make us love this neighborhood!

    Spaddys is truly a gem in Tampa. Located at an inviting courtyard in Seminole Heights it not only has the best lattes in town but the service is excellent! Friendly baristas who really know how to make great coffee.

    My go to when I try a new coffee shop is the Cortado. The cortado was excellent. I also tried their buttered cuban bread. It was simple yet very delicious. The weather was perfect while I read my books. People there were great too. So far, one of my favorite coffee spots in Tampa

  • 5/5 Lauren G. 9 months ago on Google
    I love Spaddy’s! Spaddy's is my go to and I really enjoy their drinks + they have affordable prices. Any time there has been confusion with my order the staff helps out. Great customer service!

  • 4/5 Kingtoyou 7. 2 years ago on Google
    I would give spaddys a 5 if It wasn't for two reasons. And objectively, this is personal preference so you may not care about my perceived flaws. Number 1: The parking is almost non existent. Every time I have gone here the parking situation is stressful. If you are meeting someone you basically have no shot at both of you being able to park there. Number 2: No indoor seating. Obviously this is half the charm of spaddys but if you are unfamiliar with the place and it's 90 degrees out and you want a place to relax and refresh, this would not work for you. They do a pretty good job attempting to provide shade to some areas of the (very nice) courtyard. In summary, the customer service is good, the drinks are very good! I haven't had any food there. But, it's a very inconvenient place to get to, it has pretty limited seating if they are busy, and it's all outside. But very good nonetheless!

    Wonderful coffee. It’s quality and a friendly little spot. It’s always busy and a cute hang out. Their coffee is not going to be over sweetened like Dunkin’. I also don’t have places like this close to my house. When I’m visiting the area, this place is a must for coffee. I’ve only tried their lattes, but I would absolutely spend my money here any day over Starbucks and dunks. What you see in their photos is what you get.

    I have loved the south tampa location until last week. Twenty minutes before closing on a Saturday (at 2 pm), told the press was shut down for making Cuban toast. You close at 2 pm. That is when you shut off equipment. At 1:55, the other server bellowed out “We’re closing”. No “Thank you for your business “. I try to support local businesses but I can get better service at Starbucks

  • 5/5 Emily M. 2 years ago on Google
    Visited for the first time today and it was great! The atmosphere is very calm and inviting with plenty of seating options. Grateful for the additional parking behind the building. We had a cappuccino, drip coffee, and the Cuban toast and it was all delicious! Staff working the counter was very nice and welcoming. Would definitely come back!

    Many places in Tampa don’t enjoy pouring cortados, but Spaddy’s always gives me flowers and it feels good.

  • 4/5 cyan w. 7 months ago on Google
    I love Spaddy’s so much. Their coffee is the best, but lately everything tastes like it has been sitting open uncovered in the fridge for week. You know what I mean? Like a distinct aftertaste of refrigerant. It’s in the food and the coffee. I got a drip coffee the other day cause I thought maybe it was the ice cubes. It still tasted like it. Like maybe everything sat in the freezer for a month before it was thawed and served. It’s very off-putting. Hope you guys figure it out soon because I love coming here!

    Cute coffee spot in a food truck. I walked up to the window to order and had to wait at least 4 minutes before someone came over and helped me. They were not busy. We ordered two iced lattes with oat milk, and they were just ok. Not very strong coffee and they were watered down easily with the ice.

  • 5/5 Valentina D. 1 year ago on Google
    I have not been back in a while - I was pleasantly surprised to see they had breakfast burritos. Chorizo and egg was delicious. Their lavender latte was so good too. Love this place

  • 5/5 Tiffany S. 10 months ago on Google
    I recently moved away from Tampa and am really missing Spaddy’s! This was my go-to coffee spot in walking distance to my house, where I’d meet up with friends or work. The atmosphere was always chill, the baristas are friendly and on point (Jenny makes the best lavender latte!), and their homemade syrups are perfectly balanced. Definitely a can’t miss spot in Seminole Heights.

  • 5/5 Rachel S. 10 months ago on Google
    Best coffee in Tampa! Spaddy’s coffee is amazing it needs no sweetener and it’s not bitter, just smooth deliciousness. The staff is super friendly and pleasant to order from. Highly recommend 10/10 I always get the iced latte.

  • 5/5 Edelyn M. 5 years ago on Google
    What a beautiful, simple and unique coffee shop. Most importantly, what a beautiful staff. The barista who was there radiated with good energy, and was very helpful. The price of the coffee is absolutely worth it, considering you get a full aesthetic experience. Ordered the iced latte and was not disappointed, their coffee is top notch. Really looking forward to coming back because I will, and trying out their whole menu. Especially the lavender brewed coffee, YUM! Anyways, come visit this shop if you’d like to feel welcomed and enjoy good coffee. P.S. cool vintage thrift shop right next door.

  • 5/5 Jess B. 1 year ago on Google
    Peaceful and artsy garden vibes, and incredibly friendly and accommodating baristas! I had the best experience and as a barista myself, was very impressed with the rich and smooth flavor of their espresso.

  • 5/5 Ana C. 1 year ago on Google
    Really love the atmosphere of this place and it's dog friendly! We enjoyed our very yummy breakfast followed by some great coffee. We'll definitely be back again!!

  • 5/5 Bobbie R. 1 year ago on Google
    A friend and I we were working on a big project together in Tampa when we got a hankering for some coffee. I found Spaddy’s Coffee Co online and the reviews said it all! I placed our order and it was ready when I arrived. It’s nestled in a little courtyard with a lovely outdoor seating area and it’s perfect way to start the day.

  • 5/5 Joan A. 3 years ago on Google
    What’s there not to love about Spaddy’s! From the unique set up in the courtyard to the variety of drinks and super awesome staff. This is my favorite coffee spot in town. Some of my go to drinks are the Heights Cold Brew or their hot matcha latte with oat milk and honey. I used to live in Tampa but I still drive all the way from Brandon now to come get my coffee here. They have good prices. I love that they support other local businesses by selling their food/products their. I like to grab some Cuban toast or vegan cookies while I’m there as well. Spaddy’s never disappoints.

  • 5/5 Johan N. 1 year ago on Google
    It's a lovely place to sit with a good energy to it, the folks running the truck are incredibly kind, and to top it off, the coffee and food are actually quite nice. For a hole in the wall (or rather an alley) I am actually quite blown away

  • 5/5 MIKE DISCO C. 1 year ago on Google
    I haven't really been here yet but I've heard a lot about this place. So my review is more or less based on what I e heard from friends. Everything I've heard is good. A Lot of my cycling friends come here and meet up here to do a ride or coming from one. So for the most part is been all good vibes. I guess 8m just gonna have to join a ride out and stop in for some coffee and see what it's hitting like. See you there🌀🚴
