Best vegan breakfast sandwich/burrito in Tampa. Better quality and bigger portions that other vegan breakfast food places in town. I’ve tried other places. This is the best. Never busy. Fast service. Chill and calm atmosphere. Coffee also tastes great.
We stayed at a hotel down the street and were looking for some affordable, yet unique food. We ended up at Cafe Hey and could not have been more happy. The environment was very quaint and the food was top-notch. My wife and I enjoyed our sandwiches (A-Z and the Rebel Rebel) with some ranch dill potato salad, which was great! The Vietnamese coffee was delicious as well. We will be back next time we are in the area!
Stopped by to check out the vegan options. Their coffees and stuff are great! I had an iced vegan coffee drink with oat milk and it was really good. I liked the pressed breakfast sandwich. The tofu scramble is ok. I would definitely go back if I was in the area. I bought a cookie too and it crumbled to pieces and powder and it was ok.
I love this place and visit every single time I come to Tampa. Their coffee is phenomenal, this time, I had the snickersoodle latte with oat milk and it was a latte above the rest. They also have a number of vegan options, including an absolutely delicious vegan breakfast sandwich. Whether you're vegan or not, the vegan breakfast sandwich is the thing to get. I love the pressed bread.
Servers are friendly and helpful, service is quick. The only way this place could improve is to get plates, silverware, and cups that are reusable. Whether you dine in or take it to go, they serve the food/coffee in a single use plastic container. If they didn't do that, I'd rate them 6 out of 5 stars.
Wow! Such a great little coffee shop and nice find on my way through Tampa today. The service was excellent, mocha latte delicious and gluten free breakfast sandwich was perfectly made - crispy and robust! I can’t wait to come back!!
I had a good experience here. I visited twice for breakfast. I was happy to find vegan options for breakfast earlier than most places. Their coffee is of excellent quality as well (see below). I hope, over time, they can build up their vegan menu; I think they're working on it from what the owner told me.
I will go back when I'm in the area. One thing I couldn't place, something about the vibe of both the place and the people working there, was off. I would like to see more sustainable packaging! They are using one of the worst plastics you can use in terms of sustainability (ps6). Yet, I should say they were helpful and patient with my questions and food orders.
The pumpkin spice latte and Vietnamese coffee were high-quality drinks. The food also was tasty. The prices were very reasonable too.
Great food and vibes. Sandwiches served on La Segunda bread. Great selection of coffee and tea and very friendly service. A great hidden gem in Tampa Heights!
Great coffee....
I Enjoyed my cafe con Leche and my husband enjoyed his caramel latte with banana syrup.
My hubby ordered the Cuban sandwhich and found it tasty. I had the non traditional avocado toast.....it was more of a sandwhich with cream cheese tomato and avocado spread. I found it ok. But the bread made for both sandwiches was delicious.....we both raved about it.
Liked it! Tasty vegan breakfast sandwich, quick and simple before departing Tampa; will try some other items next time. Extra points for the hipster vibe and cool murals surrounding the joint… Update, tried the VLT and it was also awesome.
Few times have I had such pleasant service and good food in one sitting, this is the case at Cafe Hey, nouveau Cafe style atmosphere yet unassuming and casual for sure. Authentic Cuban sandwiches are always a delight, and the ones my wife and I had were delish. Definitely recommend, thank you. Will definitely be there again to try something else from the great menu.
I’ve been coming to Cafe Hey for over a decade. Cheong has created such a cool & creative atmosphere that is great for a mid-day unwind with a cup of coffee. They have plentiful options available, so nearly all dietary restrictions can be accommodated. They also have regular events, including poetry, open mic, and art shows. I love the Iced Cafe Con Leche! If you want to eat, I recommend the ‘Rebel Rebel’ sandwich.
This place is becoming my new place to escape for a delicious, inexpensive Cuban coffee. I have to try some of the other options on the menu too.
Lots of local art and books create a cozy feel at this place. They also have signs for community events and upcoming comedy nights. This is clearly a local favorite.

Cafe Hey was in my list from a long time to have coffee from.
On Sunday morning, we were looking for a place to have coffee and quick bite so we decided to visit Cafe Hey.
Cafe Hey is about 20 minutes from our place and there is ample of parking spaces available near Cafe Hey.
When we entered the cafe we saw that cafe was decorated with paintings from local artists, they also have a section of books and one can also read tampa bay times newspaper in the cafe while waiting for order.
We directly went to order our coffee and quick bite.
After browsing through the menu we decided to order Vietnamese Iced Coffee, Hot Latte with OatMilk, and for quick bite with coffee we ordered T'ank and Avocado Toast.
After ordering we took our seats in the cafe.
We soon got our coffee which was Vietnamese Coffee and Hot Latte with Oat Milk.
The coffee was delicious and it was freshly brewed. We loved our coffees.
We had to wait for few minutes before we got our food.
T'ank and avocado toast was delicious made with cuban bread. The food was hot and bread was crispy and freshly made.
We loved our food too.
Amazing cafe with delicious coffee and food.

I could understand why this coffee shop wouldn’t be for everyone. However, after initial hesitation, I fit right in. Our barista was friendly & funny, I really loved her and her sense of humor . Seems like the whole staff is super chill.
Shop is nice & unique but at the same time off-putting . Their is a lot of space and tables to eat at which I liked. I also appreciated the bookshelf they had, and the many local art paintings.
Ordered the caramel iced latte I was suggested and I’m so glad I did, it was delicious and actually comparable if not better than other caramel iced lattes I’ve had. I really enjoyed it. Their bakery items are also delicious . I ate the chocolate pb cookie & the white chocolate rasberry muffin.. both were yummy. The barista told me they always have new bakery items which is nice. My cousins also ordered a vegan bacon egg sandwhich and it was pretty good and flavorful.
Would I come back? Yes.
P.S many vegan & vegetarian options. Also, open mic every Thursday 7-9pm.
Lots of options for vegans and a great selection of custom coffee drinks. We stopped in early on a weekday and the barista was very welcoming and willing to customize our drinks. The vegan BLT was perfectly made. We look forward to trying the other vegan menu options!
I had a fantastic turkey sandwich (Turkey in the Grass, pictured). Just as I was thinking to myself "Wow, is this the best turkey sandwich I've ever had?", another person in the shop shared that she was eating was the best turkey sandwich she'd ever had. Astonishingly, it wasn't even the same sandwich - she'd ordered the Festival Turkey. I can only recommend the one I had, but I'll be returning to try the other. Cheers!
Fresh, Healthy but mostly delicious! I always stop here when I'm in the area. I'm vegan and they have plenty of delicious choices. I recommend the VLT, a vegan BLT on the freshest Cuban bread ever. Photo and menu attached.
Great food, great coffee they allow dogs that behave that’s a big plus, was not really happy that at first one of the employees were not friendly when I was asking about one of the items on the menu as if I can’t read.. it’s still a 5 out of 5 due to the food and coffee with my pup 🐶
This place is one of the best vegan friendly breakfast and coffee spots in downtown Tampa. If you’re looking for a coffee spot that has a ton of flavor options - this is the spot. And they have GOOD coffee - it’s rich and creamy coffee that you can pair with a variety of flavors. They once had an ube latte that was so good. Their breakfast is pretty good too. My boyfriend is vegan, and we typically like to get breakfast together in the weekends, but I struggle to find places that have both good coffee and good breakfast with options for my boyfriend. Cafe Hey, however delivers on both. Although they don’t have much variety on their daily breakfast menu, the do offer Sunday brunch specials occasionally to shake things up. And their daily breakfast menu has just enough variety to keep you coming back because you have enough options to try something different each time.
