Hoodline crunched the numbers to find the best affordable coffee sources in Tampa, using both Yelp data and our own secret sauce to produce a ranked list of where to meet your needs.
1. Yolk White & Associates
Topping the list is Yolk White & Associates. Located at 100 N. Ashley Drive downtown Tampa, the food truck and breakfast and brunch spot, which offers coffee and tea and more, is the highest-rated inexpensive coffee spot in Tampa, boasting five stars out of 204 reviews on Yelp.
Yelper Nicholas P., who reviewed the business on Jan. 20, wrote, "The coffee was excellent (and much appreciated as the thermometer is reading 48 degrees right now!)."
2. La Segunda Central Bakery
Next is Ybor City's La Segunda Central Bakery, situated at 2512 N. 15th St. With 4.5 stars out of 220 reviews on Yelp, the bakery and Cuban spot, serving coffee and tea and more, has proven to be a local favorite for those looking for an affordable option.
The business was founded by Spanish-born Juan More, who traveled to Cuba during the Spanish-American War and returned with knowledge of Cuban bread making.
"Established in 1915, our family provides fresh baked bread, pastries, various breakfast items, made-to-order sandwiches, soups, deviled crab, salads and cafe con leche," notes the specialties section of its Yelp profile.
3. Ginger Beard Coffee
Channel District's Ginger Beard Coffee, located at 1208 E. Kennedy Blvd., Suite 112, is another top choice, with Yelpers giving the low-priced spot to score coffee and tea and doughnuts five stars out of 134 reviews.
"Our story didn't start like most coffee shops, with visions of corporate profit," the business explains in the history section of its Yelp profile. "It all started with a few guys and a crazy idea. The idea was a simple one: What if our love of coffee and of people could combine in a new way?"
4. Spaddy's Coffee
Spaddy's Coffee, a food truck and breakfast and brunch spot that offers coffee and tea and more in South Seminole Heights, is another much-loved, low-priced go-to, with five stars out of 100 Yelp reviews. Head over to 5206 N. Florida Ave. to see for yourself.
Spaddy's Coffee is known for its handcrafted coffee, espresso drinks and tea. The Yelp site can tell you a thing or two more about this business, which first opened in 2015 as a mobile coffee cart, and the people behind its success.
According to its profile, "In 2016, owner Greg 'Spaddy' Spadaccini found a great opportunity to set up next to Faedo's Family Bakery. With great acceptance from the community, he transformed a once old grass lot into a relaxing outdoor coffee courtyard!"
5. The Blind Tiger Cafe
Over in Historic Ybor, check out The Blind Tiger Cafe, which has earned 4.5 stars out of 272 reviews on Yelp. Dig in at the spot to score coffee and tea, bagels and sandwiches by heading over to 1901 E. Seventh Ave.
Yelper Mark M. wrote, "There's a reason this place has such great ratings. They do most styles of coffee — pour over, chemex, drip and espresso drinks too. We ordered a latte with almond milk and a thai tea. Both were delicious!"
