Sophia Coffee makes a splash on Dale Mabry

Sophia Coffee Shop (formerly Espresso Yourself) is a delight located at 5130 S Dale Mabry Hwy, Suite #106. At Sophia Coffee Shop, the focus extends beyond taste to presentation. The acai bowl, loaded with fresh berries, is a sight to behold, almost too pretty to eat. The café also offers a fabulous caprese sandwich, bringing a taste of Italy to Tampa, along with an array of espresso-based drinks that regulars have come to expect.

Guests rave about the fruit and Nutella-stuffed croissants, savory breakfast sandwiches, and cinnamon roll latte.
