SumitrA Espresso Lounge +

"This spot is next level, the crew are extremely welcoming and helpful for those overwhelmed by the many options they have. The quality of coffee is unmatched and the attention to detail is what you expect for such quality."

"One of my happy places in Tampa Bay -- had been a while since I came (maybe 2 years?!). SO much joy to be back and know every detail I loved about it still stands. Staff still as lovely as ever. Beautifully made coffees and hot chocolates. Their Mayan cacao elixirs are still as strong, as flavorful as I remember. Got the chocolatte this time with the Mayan full spice blend and oat milk: PERFECT. I was worried maybe the oat milk wouldn't stand the heat, but it was still a beautifully creamy hot drink. I also decided to try food as their sesame chili shrimp croissant sounded unique and delicious. Croissant had that perfect flakyness and standout buttery flavor you expect of a great croissant. As for the filling, I was expecting a more intense, bolder flavor - it was still tasty, but I'd use more of that unique sauce/dressing in future batches so the unique sesame chili flavor can stand out against the strong buttery flavor of the croissant. The shrimps were big and perfectly cooked though, so no complains there! Ambiance ALWAYSSSS on point here. Gosh, PEACE. Peace to lightly chat, peace to work. You'll get the random louder type of customer at the counter, but they usually end up sitting outside. Otherwise, a beautiful Moroccan-style cafe interior with cushions, comfy couches, and gorgeous furniture. Light, easy-listening jazz at the right volume beautifully wraps up the ambiance of Sumitra. There's also outdoor seating, which is perfect for people watching. There's plenty of shade between the generous awning of the bldg. and large umbrellas on the other side of the sidewalk. All in all, the perfect cafe you've been looking for! Highly recommended."

"I had an Amazing Mocha with almond milk and whip... they even warmed up my chocolate croissant in a little heater oven ....the ladies at the front are very welcoming and greet you with a smile ...The furniture is so comfortable.… very unique and laid back.."

"A very legitimate coffee shop, offering plenty of coffee, tea and hot chocolate. Nice variety of sweet and savory pastries. Beware, some items, including all the cookies are infused with CBD and suited only for adults. The atmosphere was super chill and very hip in nature. It reminded me of a coffee shop you would find in San Francisco or Seattle."

"This is hands down the most AMAZING coffee shop I have ever been to!!! Maurice recommended a wonderful hot cacao drink made from a 3,000 year old recipe. I about died when I took my first sip (in a good way)! All drinks and pastries offered here are of purest intention and energy. The owner Maurice is one of a kind and so incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about his coffee, cacao, and every ingredient used for the drinks and pastries. Majority of the pastries are gluten free and many vegan options. Only the finest coffee beans from Women owned farms are used here. The sugars utilized are date and coconut sugars. Maurice gave me an informative lesson about coffee beans and why light and medium roast coffee cause things like heart palpitations, anxiety and adrenal crashes. He recommended trying only a dark roast for people (like me) sensitive to most coffee and caffeine and explained in detail why that is. I am sad to have only found this shop a day before I leave the area but will be back here in the morning. I wish I could take Maurice and his shop back home with me! Thank you to Maurice and his coffee crew/family!!!"
