Craft Kafe Tampa

I can see why this is a downtown gem! It’s always busy but the line moves fast and the staff is efficient in taking your order and serving you. I never felt rushed though.

I had their feta Mediterranean quiche and an excellent cappuccino. I also tried their insect frangipane, a quirky but delicious choice.

This has been a Local favorite for a while.
Dine in service could be a lot better. The wait time feels completely disorganized - after over 50 mins of waiting when we were sat we saw empty tables (not cleaned) and imagined that was the reason why it took so long. the waiter took a long time and we saw him giving our neighboring table a nasty attitude for their tip. Very uncalled for and unprofessional. Unfortunately we had him too. He was ok. But I felt the need to be extra nice so I wouldn’t catch the nasty attitude either 🙃🤣
He took a while to get our order and the food took a while to come out. Once it did we enjoyed it.

We got tacos de pescado y lengua. A fried taco type of appetizer and flautas de papa.

I should also say the bar area was a lot better in terms of service. The woman there took my drink order quickly and was extremely friendly and attentive.
Vine Bar

Awesome spot for happy hour and the adjoining wine and spirits store (Myrtle) is full of quirky and helpful staff.

We came early for a quick drink and for a Tuesday it filled up pretty quick. The bartender Ivan was nice and attentive and the drinks were good. We tried the hummus and will like to go back to try other food items.

The space feels tropical with live plants.

My family loved this place. Very down to earth taqueria with friendly service.
Tacos and torta were delish only wish I could also enjoy vegetarian options in the menu. At least one 😅. I’ll keep an eye out for when they add some options.

This spot has been on my radar and I’m glad i finally got a chance to indulge.

Everything looks delicious. But the passionfruit options caught my eye. They did an amazing job at maintaining the tartness that makes passionfruit unique in desserts and thankfully it wasn’t ladened with too much sugar.
The one I chose was paired with raspberry purée and these two flavors played off really well.

Need to return for the coconut cake and the eclairs.
The staff was also so friendly and helpful.
