🇺🇸 Tampa Food & Drink Guide 🍽️☕

1️⃣ Downtown Tampa ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Oxford Exchange – A chic academic-themed complex with a restaurant, café, tea room, bookstore, and candle-making station! 🕯️📚 Perfect vibe. Food is okay—I came for shelter from the rain and ended up staying half the afternoon 😂 ⭐️⭐️ Buddy Brew Coffee – A local chain with bright, spacious shops. Great coffee + solid bakery options! ☕🥐 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Heights Public Market – A food hall with delicious options! Highly recommend Oak & Ola 🐙🍖 I had the octopus leg and lamb flatbread—both amazing! 2️⃣ Silver Spring (Manatee Viewing) – 1.5hr from Tampa ⭐️⭐️ Spaddy's Coffee Co. – A cool coffee truck downtown! Grab a drink and a pastry for the road 🚐☕ ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Terry's Place – Absolutely incredible! Simple bar food done right 🍔🍗 Fresh sourdough buns, non-breaded wings… Maybe it was the kayaking 🛶💦, but this felt like the best fast food ever! 3️⃣ Clearwater (Dolphin Tour) ⭐️ Restoration Cafe – Stopped by here post-dolphin adventure 🐬☕ Quirky vintage vibe in a retro neighborhood—nice spot to chill before driving back. 4️⃣ St. Petersburg DT (Dalí Museum) ⭐️ Paradeco Coffee Roasters – Good breakfast and coffee! ☕🥣 No-frills décor—popular with local professionals. 5️⃣ Siesta Key (Circus Museum & Beach) ⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Breakfast Company – Located in an open-air mall on the way from DT! Their fresh, soft cinnamon rolls are a must-try—they even have mini versions! 🧁🍯 I also ordered the pulled pork Benedict… SO delicious! 🤤 Perfect for foodies and coffee lovers exploring Tampa! #TampaEats #FoodGuide #TravelTampa #CoffeeLovers #FloridaFoodie
