Moxies Cafe and Caterer Tampa is a downtown cafe at 302 E Kennedy Blvd, on the corner of Kennedy Blvd and Franklin St. It serves handcrafted coffee and espresso drinks, breakfast, lunch and fresh-made salads, and it is a good stop for a sandwich shop in downtown Tampa when you need a quick bite on a weekday.
The cafe offers indoor and outdoor seating, so you can meet friends or sit on your own. The team describes the space as a cozy place with a warm welcome, and the menu covers a lot of ground, from wraps and vegetarian options to gluten free choices.
What to Expect at Moxies Cafe and Caterer Tampa
The menu is built around coffee and sandwiches. Coffee and espresso beans are a private blend from a local roaster, and drinks like lattes, cappuccinos, cortaditos and cold brew are available hot, iced or frozen. Cafe con leche is a house favorite, and you can add sugar to get the full experience.
Food runs from breakfast to lunch. Breakfast entrees such as scrambles, omelettes and bowls are served from 6:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., and several breakfast sandwiches are served all day. The sandwiches are where the Philly and Tampa influences come through. Crusty Cuban bread is baked daily and used for breakfast and lunch sandwiches, including a hot and crunchy pressed Cuban bread breakfast sandwich.
The cafe also makes fruit smoothies to order, with options like Mango Matcha, Passion Fruit and Peanut Butter Banana. If you want something lighter, the made-to-order salads and vegetarian and healthy lunch choices give you more to pick from.
