“ Found this quaint cafe while I was going to the Asian market next door and happened to be hungry for lunch. Stopped in and immediately liked the quirky art and decorations inside. I ordered the Hot Ham and Cheese sandwich and it came out within 5-10 minutes. It was delicious and just as spicy as the name suggested. I would definitely come back to try their other sandwiches! ”

“ Last week, I had the pleasure of indulging in the offerings of Cafe Hey, and I must begin by expressing how i enjoyed flavor of their crafted espresso; Its smooth and bold, with some chocolate notes. It was still slightly on the acidic side, so it wasn't the best on its own but it was still really enjoyable inside a latte. The food and beverages was well priced and affordable, allowing me to give them a higher rating; Than other cafés in the area with significantly higher prices. You can tell Cafe Hey cares about their consumers keeping prices acceptable for everyones budget. The service is usually curt and monotoned could be a better it's usually the same few people and its nothing outstanding but a good interaction overall. Orders take quite a bit of time even if you're the only one in the café we can work on speed and efficiency. Café Hey is cute and cozy on the inside. Displaying local artists pieces for sale as decor a few hightop tables and a book nook area to wait for your order, I like the old school café vibes they have going on nothing modern, but it feels like a chill place to read a few chapters and sit down with a coffee. I recommend their hot lattes , their Vietnamese iced coffee is spot with authenticity however it was very sweet and didn't have any ice that day but I drove a distance for that drink so I got it without it. I do enjoy the avocado toast. It's never consistent with inside contents but still delicious. but I'd skip the pastries usually a little on the scale side but decent if you get fresh. The prices here are affordable, so I had the pleasure of trying almost everything, and I will say I recommend almost all the food items and trying out their seasonal flavors. Their usually spot on with capturing all the notes stated. ”

“ This is a really cute cafe I stumbled across. I ordered an iced chai latte and a blueberry muffin. The muffin was pretty good and the chai was delicious. I loved the alternative music they were playing. It was a chill place. I would go again. But the parking kinda sucks because you have to pay ParkMobile ”

“ Super chill vibes, local feel, friendly staff. I had their winter solstice latte and breakfast burrito! Both really good! Worth stopping by if you're in the area. ”

“ Super delicious food and great staff. I had the VLT. The food is amazing and so many vegan options. I love the cozy atmosphere and great patio. Free parking is also available to the north of the building. Definitely recommend ”

“ Amazing food, service, and atmosphere. Highly recommended and I will definitely be returning when I'm in Tampa! ”

“ So glad I found this place. I stopped by on the weekend and there was a wait but there's only two people working and it was very worth it! The chai latte was perfect. The matcha lemonade was surprisingly very refreshing. The lemonade balanced out the bitter taste of the matcha. I would recommend it even if you're not usually a matcha drinker like me. The grand salami was delicious. Everything went together well and the bread was thin. It's also a pretty big portion of food for a good price. There's free parking along the street and in the lot next door. A lot of amazing murals around the outside of the building. It's a pretty small place so seating is limited. I'll definitely be back to try more of their drinks and food. They also have open mic nights and a decent vegan selection if you're into that. ”

“ Awesome hole in the wall. The decor is cozy and I felt comfortable walking in and taking my time looking around. The cashier was helpful in making a choice between two staples (ended up picking the vegan burrito). Food came out relatively quick despite there being a decent amount of people. The food itself was delicious. Really enjoyed the VLT and the Burrito. The lemon poppyseed waffles weren't my thing, but my fiancé loved them (it was a seasonal Mother's Day item). Also enjoyed the season flower latte. Overall will definitely come back to visit. ”

“ The best part of Veganuary has been trying out delicious vegan eats around town on the days that I'm sick of cooking. This morning, Cafe Hey, a local restaurant I haven't been to in years, offered up a special vegan brunch and I went by to try it out after walking through the farmer's market (what is it about shopping for food that makes us want to buy prepared food right after?). I ordered the Cowboy Skillet with crispy home fries, vegan bacon and vegan over easy eggs (the "yolk" was the sauce). It was delicious and gave me all the feels of brunch without any of the animal products. The wait was a bit long, but the barista explained when I received my meal to-go that they had gotten such a big turnout for their brunch that they were a bit backed up. I didn't mind at all, as the vibes are easygoing and relaxed in the small restaurant, and the food was freshly made and tasty. I do hope that other restauranteurs in Downtown Tampa are taking notice, as it's pretty obvious that vegan eats are sought after and a vegan brunch can be pretty fruitful. But for now, I so appreciate Cafe Hey for leading the charge and offering up delicious plant-based options like this. ”
