The staff and service were awesome as well. For sure worth checking out.

My mocha was divine, however, the wait for it was a very temporal experience for a Sunday afternoon. It wasn't the most comfortable place to hang out, but the drink was well worth the visit. I especially LOVED that their used coffee grounds were available in front of the lab to take home and compost.

I am a big fan of their espresso. They feature two single origin options for espresso, and both are yummy! My favorite part though are their breakfast sandwiches. They are known for their breakfast Cuban press but I am actually more a fan of their Hangover Bagel Sandwich which consists of sausage, bacon, hash brown potatoes , gouda, cheddar, and Sriracha mayo. It's so yummy!

Stopped by to check this place out... It was alright, the nitro brew was the best thing we tried, but other than that we wouldn't go out of our way to find this place again. Nothing stuck out as bad, we just enjoy the coffee and ambiance of the other local coffee shops better.

With a perfect blend of clean modernism and edgy urban design this cafe walks a fine balance for craft cafe on a college campus. Inviting and yet not so perfected that it feels inauthentic. Simple black and white design throughout and a low metal ceiling with utilitarian exposed florescent light fixtures it is a whole new update on the cluttered and aging coffee shops that still line many college campuses. These guys an intelligent and curious look at the drinks they serve and the coffee they roast. They normally feature two single origin options for espresso, so be sure to try them both when you visit! They pull the espresso shots off a lovely little San Remo Espresso machine that certainly is the focal point of the cafe and is one only a few of these machines that dot the United States. This is certainly a solid cafe to visit if you are in the area!

Favorite shop in Tampa.One caveat - the pour over is automated. Not a fan of this as a consumer. However the service was better than friendly- it was exactly what I look for in a coffee shop. Knowledgeable roaster/coffee brewing. Minimalist decor, with some good vibes. Really enjoyed my coffee too! Super good quality. Fresh. Blueberry muffin was good. Cold brew is good. Nitro cold brew was a little too sour. Love the logo, merch, and location.

Best iced latte of my life, and it is consistently great every time. Very friendly baristas, easy parking, laid back atmosphere. The Lab is my favorite coffee shop anywhere.

TLDR: Good coffee, good sandwiches, not a bad place to work remotely.The Lab Coffee is just a short walk from my place, which makes it super convenient for both coffee and working remotely.I usually get there shortly after open and stay for a few hours. It can get a little busy and loud after 9, but normally it’s just people come in for coffees to go. The pour overs are great, but the house drip is just as good and much faster so I let my need for caffeine dictate what I order.Coffee is served in mugs, not disposable cups which is a huge plus. They are are also friendly to using your own glasses and mugs, too.As for food, the sausage bagel sandwich is my go-to but the bacon, egg, and gouda Cuban is good too. Everyone raves about the hangover cure, but I haven’t been that gluttonous yet.

Cool local place that knows a lot about coffee. Perfect shop in the quickly-developing North Hyde Park neighborhood.

Stopped in for some coffee and reading this morning. Great service and great coffee. This place was packed and they seem to get a lot of repeat customers. I would definitely stop in again for coffee

These dudes have been here serving up great service and coffee for years now. Amazing product, fantastic service, and absolutely down to clown. I can’t give 6 stars, but if I could, I would.Go to the lab, a place where you can actually bring your buddy and have some brew.
