Cafe Quiquirqui (Cock-a-doodle-do...for English speakers) is a great spot to grab coffee or quick snack. The name is homage to the ubiquitous roosters of Ybor City. It's the only non-chain coffee place I know of in Tampa that's open past 2pm and as such I've become a semi-regular. It's located right on 7th in Ybor, inside Hotel Haya...however it has its own entrance. The cafe con leches are very solid and available both hot and iced. Their guava bars are tasty too, and they offer other sweet and savory prepared pastries as well as small sandwiches, chia cups, oats, fruit, etc. They change out their specialty drinks seasonally and the ones I've tried have been very good. The space is bright and pretty, with comfortable chairs and live plants hanging from the ceiling. There's paid street parking and a free 15-minute spot right across the street. There's also a lot about a block away. Vegan milk options...
Read moreAfter spending a splendid morning on the streets of Tampa, I was looking for a local coffee shop near me. I searched near me and decided to have coffee from Cafe Quiqiiriqui. It is a cafe near Hotel Haya in Tampa Ybor. The cafe is amazing, beautifully decorated. The atmosphere was lovely with a free wifi and can be a good place to work. The staff is amazing and serve the customers with a smile on their face. From the menu I ordered Cappuccino with Almond Milk and Overnight Oats. The service was amazing and I got my order quickly. The coffee was hot, freshly brewed with perfect amount of sugar. The oats were also delicious and nice. Amazing cafe to visit...
Read moreMeh…typical hotel cafe. Nothing special. Service was friendly. After ordering, the coffee came quick. Drop coffee is free if staying at the Haya. However as I stood waiting for our croissants, we were passed up for the people behind us. They were served first as I stood at the pick up area. I had been waiting for 5 minutes and the young lady passed me and never asked what I was waiting for. I had to tell her as she passed me. She was at least friendly about it. Cafe con letche was mediocre and lukewarm warm. Egg bagel seemed to have powdered eggs. Croissants were not fully warmed and stale center. The hotel is great, but probably won’t visit...
