Crepes, coffee, and more at the Nosey Goat

Located in the former home of Caffeine Coffee Roasters, this intimate hub serves coffee, crepes, ice cream, and a variety of pastries. Delectable items include big stuffed croissants, a crackling chocolate matcha latte, and the viral Dubai chocolate, filled with knafeh and pistachio.

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.
