Victory Coffee

We can’t think of a cozier spot to get coffee and grab a bite in the morning – relax with your coffee in hand, while your food is made fresh. Our favorite victory bites are the famous breakfast burrito, the delicious bacon egg and cheese bagel, and how can we forget about the Cuban toast?!

You can’t go wrong with a lavender oat milk iced latte, or if you want something simpler (and still incredibly good), get the iced mocha! Perhaps the thing that surprises us the most about Victory Coffee is that you can actually get bottles of wine!

La Creperia Cafe

While not centered around just coffee, La Creperia Cafe in Ybor City has an amazing coffee selection. If you’re looking for an authentic cafe con leche, this is the spot for you. Serving Gavina coffee from southern Cuba, their creations are the real deal. They even have “Byzantine Coffee”, a Greek coffee that is not available at other coffee shops in Ybor City. If you haven’t heard of Greek coffee, it is a sweet, cold, and frothy espresso drink that’s similar to a frappe.

Finish off your trip by pairing your drink with one of their sweet crepes. We recommend the Maestro, a warm Nutella, and Grand Marnier liquer crepe.
