Reviews for Cafe Hey in Tampa, FL
Lots of options for vegans and a great selection of custom coffee drinks. We stopped in early on a weekday and the barista was... very welcoming and willing to customize our drinks. The vegan BLT was perfectly made. We look forward to trying the other veganmenu options! Read more
Great coffee.... I Enjoyed my cafe con Leche and my husband enjoyed his caramel latte with banana syrup. My hubby ordered the... Cuban sandwhich and found it tasty. I had the non traditional avocado toast.....it was more of a sandwhich with cream cheesetomato and avocado spread. I found it ok. But the bread made for both sandwiches was delicious.....we both raved about it. Read more
I had a fantastic turkey sandwich (Turkey in the Grass, pictured). Just as I was thinking to myself "Wow, is this the best... turkey sandwich I've ever had?", another person in the shop shared that she was eating was the best turkey sandwich she'd everhad. Astonishingly, it wasn't even the same sandwich - she'd ordered the Festival Turkey. I can only recommend the one I had,but I'll be returning to try the other. Cheers! Read more
Liked it! Tasty vegan breakfast sandwich, quick and simple before departing Tampa; will try some other items next time. Extra... points for the hipster vibe and cool murals surrounding the joint? Update, tried the VLT and it was also awesome. Read more
I?ve been coming to Cafe Hey for over a decade. Cheong has created such a cool & creative atmosphere that is great for a mid-day... unwind with a cup of coffee. They have plentiful options available, so nearly all dietary restrictions can be accommodated. Theyalso have regular events, including poetry, open mic, and art shows. I love the Iced Cafe Con Leche! If you want to eat, Irecommend the ?Rebel Rebel? sandwich. Read more
I stopped in at Cafe Hey to try out the vegan breakfast burrito, but unfortunately, they were all out of the tofu scramble. I... came in around 12:30, so I suppose I should accept that it's first-come first-serve -- they were even out of the beer I ordered.However, more accessibility to their full menu and pastries would be appreciated. The friendly staff member suggested the V.L.T(BLT with Sweet Earth bacon), to which I added avocado. The bread was flaky and delicious and the bacon was cooked better than Ican cook that brand at home. Sadly, the tomato was pale and flavorless and there was a bit too much vegenaise, in my opinion.Also, the red cabbage was an unconventional but not very well-received ingredient added to the classic sandwich. The potatosalad was very tasty and well-seasoned, albeit also heavy on the vegenaise. The guava turnover I ordered was good, not great.The overall atmosphere is cozy and welcoming; it's a great place to get a cuppa and enjoy a book or talk with friends. I will beback to give this sweet little spot a second chance, but the first impression fell short of my expectations. Read more
I had a good experience here. I visited twice for breakfast. I was happy to find vegan options for breakfast earlier than most... places. Their coffee is of excellent quality as well (see below). I hope, over time, they can build up their vegan menu; I thinkthey're working on it from what the owner told me. I will go back when I'm in the area. One thing I couldn't place, somethingabout the vibe of both the place and the people working there, was off. I would like to see more sustainable packaging! They areusing one of the worst plastics you can use in terms of sustainability (ps6). Yet, I should say they were helpful and patientwith my questions and food orders. The pumpkin spice latte and Vietnamese coffee were high-quality drinks. The food also wastasty. The prices were very reasonable too. Read more
This place is becoming my new place to escape for a delicious, inexpensive Cuban coffee. I have to try some of the other options... on the menu too. Lots of local art and books create a cozy feel at this place. They also have signs for community events andupcoming comedy nights. This is clearly a local favorite. Read more
