Loved this place. The atmosphere and the coffee was awesome. My only criticism of the place that is too much white inside, need to add some dark colors along with the awesome pictures hanging on the walls. But no big deal. I highly recommend it. Support your local coffee shops.

Loved it there and the dirty chai was on point and the Gouda and tomato jam toast was heavenly! The puppy parent walk thru window is the best idea ever!

Coolest little indie place I've had the pleasure of drinking coffee at. Sneak past the Starbucks it hides behind and you'll find an awesome place!

Been going here for awhile and I've always enjoyed it. Today however really made my day. I'm vegetarian and can't eat dairy so was disappointed to see they're revamping the menu and didn't have any options for me. Got over it as I get business and that they're opening up another location. Was super touched when they upgraded my drink for me since the other things I was going to order were unavailable. The staff here are the best thank you ❤️

Cute & cozy. A good place to study, catchup with friends, relax. Tables and couches and chair seating available. Lots of teas/coffee drinks that are beyond yummy! Vegan donuts, and sweets too! Fair prices, punch card for free drink. Not a lot of parking though. Indoor and outdoor seating, wifi. Worth checking out, even more worth the revisit �

Great little coffee shop with a homey like feel to it. Highly recommend All You Need is Latte (White chocolate raspberry) and the Floridian (Orange Mocha) as these are rather unique flavors. They have a large array of baked goods that I have yet to try. Look scrumptious, and I'll make note of it.

I used to be a USF student many years ago and now I'm bringing second generation kids to tour my/my husband's Alma Mater. We have been to this coffee shop a few times and it never disappoints! Delicious coffee and my daughter loves the tea lattes! Sandwiches are also creative, with great flavor and made with care. It's a fun spot for sure and we'll give the other location a try soon!

I’ve been a regular here (and a one-time barista) for three years, and I realized I’ve never written a review! So here goes: I love Felicitous. It’s one of the few places where I’ve ever really become a “regular”—that is, I go to lots of places over and over, but here everyone recognizes me and knows my order and remembers little details about my life. It’s such a friendly and inviting atmosphere. Rani (owner) and Brittany (manager) are amazing people, and they are so great at keeping Felicitous unique, creative and distinctly independent. And the barista staff is awesome, too. From the other side of things, I worked at Felicitous for almost a year (left because I found a job in my career field), and I can tell you that their kindness and generosity extends to employees, too. Over three years I’ve seen changes, improvements and constant innovation from Felicitous. I can honestly say that my life—and this neighborhood--would not be the same without this wonderful little purple house.

Staff is super nice and it's a super cool space. Coffee is always better from a small shop.

This is one of my favorite stops for Coffee and a quick bite of sandwich. I would love to come back to this place again and again for their Mississippi mud and cheese sandwich. I love the cozy setup and the staffs are very well behaved.

Peanut butter latte is amazing. Iced or hot. Very nice and calm place. Very artistic and interesting portraits. Just wish it was a bit bigger!

I love the felicitousness of the employees! I literally stumbled on this place after lunch and was greeted with a lot of positivity. If I lived in Tampa, I would come here often. The cappuccino was very good and did not scorch my mouth. Only suggestion would be for them to have almond milk as a creamer option. Definitely check this place out!

Makes me wish I live around here! I got the Floridian latte (mocha, orange, nutmeg) and my husband got the chocolate peanut butter frappe. Both were delicious! The atmosphere with all the art is so fun. There are tables on the patio outside....exactly the kind of place I could spend a whole day! The loose leaf teas all look so good. I wish I could come back every day!

Amazing. This is one of my favorite places to hang out and study, and the coffee is amazing the service is a little slow but the poor guy works as fast as he can so I always tip well. If you've read the other reviews you know what the building is like and what the art is like, but my favorite part is something I just have to re-iterate they have artwork on the ceiling. I love it, looking up and seeing something happy and perky above your head instead of just a blank white ceiling is just awesome in my own quirky way. So, yes this place is a must go!

Drink up! Great atmosphere; laid back and relaxing. Coffee (latte) and dessert (oreo cake) that I had were yummy. We ate outside and the goodies were passed through a window to us. We'll be back!

Good coffee and nice breakfast sandwiches. The location is super cute but the sofa and the chairs could use some refurbishing - not the most comfortable.

I love this place. I get the peanut butter coffee shake. The atmosphere is fantastic. My first time there, there was an art show featuring the art of Justin Seabolt. I bought two items off the wall only to realize that the guy at the counter selling me my coffee and art was the artist! Awesome place. Awesome art. Food/Coffee: A- Atmosphere: A+ Staff: A+

Great!. Located in a renovated house (looking something right out of the 50s) off of Fowler, this quaint establishment is easy to overlook. I myself have passed by this place multiple times often giving it a double take trying to figure out if its a place of business or someone's home. I am glad I finally made a stop in for the coffee was excellent. I ordered a beverage that was a latte and granola mixed together. This is essentially the perfect breakfast for the lazy man on the go. I was skeptical on just how tasty it would be but it proved itself quite palatable. I was particularly fond of the subtle afterbite of the coffee. Overall I would say Felicitous is probably at its best as a stop and smell the roses sort of place but even in my quick stop the coffee still made it worth the venture.

Great local find with TONS of charm!. Delicious Lattes, great coffee, and a menu full of unique drinks are only one side of this great place. Felicitous has a young, independent vibe without alienating the non-college crowd (something that seems hard to pull off in Tampa). A lot of the drinks are named after local bands/people/trends. It's a great place to study, relax, listen to music, etc.

Perfection... I have never been to such a reserved, retro, vintage type of shop in my life. It's unique quality, spectacular food, thirst quenching drinks.. undeniably good. I hope everyone would go try it at least one time.. you won't regret it!

Excellent Coffee and Atmosphere. A variety of specialty coffee/espresso drinks and loose leaf teas combined with a warm and cozy atmosphere... this place stands out as an oasis among a saturated market of corporate owned, cookie cutter coffee shops. The iced coffee I tried was excellent and the home made cupcake complimented it perfectly. Open mic night on Wednesday provides a lively atmosphere where local musicians, poets, comedians, and other artists convene to showcase their talents. I hope to be back soon to try some of the other items on the menu, surf some free WiFi or catch a show from a local artist. This place is great!

This is such a cute coffee shop! yesterday was my first time there and I simply loved it. They sell coffee, tea and pastries, but they also have some jewelry, accessories and clothes too. The whole place has a really cool boho style. I had a mocha with the white chocolate almond cake and I was obsessed. I also ordered the strawberry rose spritzer - delicious!! They have a nice outside patio. Loved the staff too. I can't wait to come back!

I’ve been here twice. Had coffee and hot chocolate both times along with some muffins and danishes. They have a moody whimsical ambience with both indoor and outdoors seating. They had a night market my first visit, which was quite interesting and added to the whimsy feel. The coffee wasn’t that great but the baked goods were fine.

Super cute place ! I’ve been here a few times now and it never disappoints. Got the Green tea KitKat matcha latte and it was delicious! Tried their food for the first time this visit and was once again impressed by the quality. I got the spinach and feta pastry and it was 10/10. The service here is always incredible, the baristas always make good conversation, good recommendations and never fail to make me smile. There’s a lot to look at in this place and some cool totes/stickers that you can buy if you want to show your love for this little place. The inside is clean, peaceful and comfortable. I can’t wait to go back : )

Such a great environment and the Purple Haze iced latte was outstanding. Many times you don't taste the Earl Grey tea strong enough but not with this one. Very well made. Staff was extremely friendly.

Talk about a hidden gem that's been around a while. We've been passing by this quaint little cafe for years. I wish a place like this was around when I was going to USF, but I digress. Anyhow, awesome coffee and tea served up here along with some small bites, pastries and whatnot. They cater to vegans/vegetarians too, so something for everyone. Once inside this tiny bungalow turned cafe, you'll notice the random artwork and such, makes for a comfortable vibe to hangout and relax. You place your order with the cute coffee pixies behind the counter, super helpful and friendly. You just want to hug them, but then again, personal space, Covid, and harassment charges pending. So just leave them a good tip. Outside, there's a nice area to sip your coffee/tea and eat your food, very relaxing. Felicitous is a welcoming place worthy of waking up early to go get a a cup of Joe. Shame we didn't find this place earlier, guess we're not that hip to be in the "know." (Some of the coffee pixies flew away, probably changed majors or whatnot, still, they replenish their numbers, so all is not lost.)

Lovely coffee shop, great drinks, great staff. We visit weekly and they never let us down. Long live Felicitous!! If you are from anywhere that has something you call a "coffee house," this is the closest thing you're going to get in Tampa Bay!

Love this quaint and eclectic little place! Everything from their delicious lattes to their outdoor seating and the little "take one, leave one" library on site...simply perfection. I love to bring clients and colleagues here for a cup of tea or coffee because it has more charm and ambiance than a typical chain coffee shop. They also have free wifi and a printer (haven't used the printer but good to know it is there!). My favorite menu items are the pistachio/rose latte, chai tea, matcha, and their vegan empanadas. Everything tastes fresh and home made and the staff are always very kind and patient. I highly recommend this place.

This cafe is extremely charming and cozy. I love that they display and sell local artists’ prints. The coffee and food are both great, if a little on the expensive side. I like that they give you mugs if you’re dining in, it really adds to the homey, comfortable atmosphere. Parking is a little tricky because you have to go through a narrow drive way on the side of the building to the back where there is a small field to park in, but I’ve never had any trouble getting in and out. It is a great place to sit down and chat.

Just stumbled upon this little place by accident. We're glad we did. My daughter ordered a Spring Break in Tokyo and loved it. Now we have to come back and try other things from the menu. Too many to choose from. Love supporting small business! Friendly 😊

I loved it so much that I invited my sibling and and a friend here, and they also loved it. HIGHLY recommend for both a quick stop or to study at!

Felicitous is a hidden little gem near USF and one of the beautiful cafes in the area. It has a lot of seating options along with the free wi-fi which helps students to work. The atmosphere at the cafe is positive and calm with the beautiful artworks inside the cafe. The cafe has a lot of different coffee options along with the small bites and plates to eat along with the coffee. After exploring the menu from the menu I ordered Mocha and Bagel with Cream Cheese Spread. The service was also good and I got my mocha coffee in 5 minutes. The coffee was hot, freshly brewed and delicious coffee. I also got the bagel in 5 minutes which was hot and roasted along with the cream cheese spread which makes it delicious. Definitely a place to hang out with friends and enjoy coffee as well as small bites. Do stop by Felicitous when you are in the area.

Love this cool little coffee shop !! Very nice staff and makes me feel welcomed every time we go. The outdoor area is my favorite section of the place in the wintertime. Nutella cookies are so good. Also love it that they roast their own coffee bean! Recommended!

A cute unique independent coffee shop that offers great coffee and home baked goods. Vegan friendly and mostly sustainable in its trash usage. Stop Trippin’ (Vegan)- a delicious simple sandwich that doesn’t feel heavy. Served on a. Pressed Cuban bun, this sandwich uses hummus instead of mayo along with fresh crisp kale and tomato slices which is nice. The mushrooms were fresh but I would have preferred them cooked a bit more. Very light on your stomach. 4/5 Oat Milk Latte- delicious fresh espresso with a creamy oat milk. You can’t go wrong with this! 5/5 Dark Cherry Chocolate Clafoutis- they warmed it up for me and this was made in house. The almond cake mixed with baked cherries and warm dark chocolate make this gluten free treat a delight to have after the sandwich. Usually clafoutis can taste very eggy but this was not the case. Not sweet but definitely satisfies your sweet tooth! 5/5

Felicitous is a funky little coffee shop with unique food choices. They have vegan options which are hard to find. Pleasant workers and great coffee. It's kind tucked away and not easy to find. But it's worth it!

I moved near here from Illinois and have been struggling fitting in. I do online school and I decided to visit yesterday and get some work done. It is a beautiful shop with so many lovely, friendly people who come in. It’s a great place to go to feel at home. Great service and great quality. Going to make this a regular spot for me for sure.
