"Southie Coffee is a trendy coffee shop that offers organic quality espresso and coffee, pastries, smoothies, a full menu, and more!. They also have really great gluten-free and vegan options available. We highly recommend ordering one of the empanadas to go with your coffee for a burst of flavors that you didn’t know you needed!"

"The Lab Coffee is a newly launched coffee collaboration laboratory, selling beans and fresh coffees. What truly makes The Lab Coffee unique is that you have the opportunity to learn how to roast coffee beans!. The Lab Coffee is also the first coffee shop in North Hyde Park—in other words, it’s a pretty big deal."

"The Lab Coffee is located off of State Street in Tampa and hopes to bring a new outlook to the Tampa Bay area. The baristas working here are very knowledgeable and can help create a customer coffee drink for you. Opened by Jason and Peter they head the roasting of Zeal Coffee that they founded in 2013."

"Alessi Bakery offers a variety of high-quality, beautiful wedding cakes and other pastries that make us never, ever, want to give up carbs. This European bakery in Tampa is a treasure for custom cakes for any occasion, in addition to their astounding cannolis, cookies, and Cuban sandwiches. They’ve been a historic landmark in the bakery scene in Tampa since 1912!"

"Since 1912 the Alessi's have been providing Tampa residents with quality baked goods. Today, the business has evolved from a horse and wagon to a full service bakery, deli, restaurant, catering and wholesale operation. It's a great spot for breakfast where you can taste the difference those one hundred years of practice makes."
