Caffeine Roasters Tampa is a shop in Hyde Park that roasts its own beans and serves specialty drinks alongside a full kitchen menu. The shop is located at 2420 W Kennedy Blvd, Tampa, FL 33609, and it stands out for its mix of roastery, cafe and drive-thru service under one roof.
The business began in 2016 with a first specialty coffee shop at 212 E Cass Street in Downtown Tampa. This Kennedy location, called "The Mothership," is the second spot and is described as a 2,000-square-foot roastery with 50 or more seats
What to Expect at Caffeine Roasters Tampa
The drink menu is the main draw. Caffeine Roasters makes a full range of specialty coffee beverages, and several signature drinks set it apart. The Orange Cold Brew is infused with hints of orange, the Aero Cappuccino is an iced, frothy sweet drink that the shop describes as a bit like ice cream, and the Sparkling Coffee combines espresso and ginger ale.
The Kennedy location also has its own kitchen, which turns out a fresh menu for breakfast and lunch with more than 20 items. Pastries are made in-house as well, so you can pair a coffee with something to eat. The shop also offers a Ginger Spiced Latte and a handcrafted Flat White for anyone who wants something more classic.
Coffee is sold by the bag too. The shop offers blends and single-origin coffees, including an Italian Blend medium dark roast, a Colonial Blend medium dark roast, and medium roasts from Honduras and Uganda. Bags are priced at USD each on the online store.
