Reviews For The Blend (Hillsborough) Coffee & Cocktails

There was a warm welcome when we walked inside, and the design was serene. We haven’t seen a coffee flight before so it was super cool to try! Flights come with 4 coffee drink samplers. The gingerbread latte definitely had a pronounced gingerbread flavor and not to sweet or overwhelmingly spice. They were out of peppermint syrup, so we had the Irish cream cold brew. The cream didn’t mix well into the coffee but still held up as a nice cold brew without too much sweetness. We also had the carmel brulee which had a strong Carmel favor and sweet, one of our favorites. The cookie butter latte we didn’t love, but could be a preference thing so worth trying. We’ll be back to get a different flight . It is a super cute date idea

The flights are yummy. We didn’t try any food so I can’t comment on that. We stayed for a couple of hours and got work done. The place is so cute! WiFi isn’t super strong though so be aware of that if you’re going to bring your laptop

This is probably my favorite coffee shop in Tampa. It's at least a 30ish minute drive for me, maybe more, but I try to go at least once a month. They're friendly, it's lovely inside, and their specialty drinks are incredible. It's such a fun, trendy atmosphere but still feels cozy for those of us who no one would ever describe as "cool".

I LOVE good quality coffee and unique coffee beverages! The seasonal flights The Blend (Hillsborough) Coffee and Cocktail offers are especially exciting to me! For my birthday I treated myself to a to-go flight! Normally I prefer enjoying my flights in the coffee shop but time didn’t allow. Wow!!!! The to-go flight did not disappoint! The packaging allowed me to drive around town without concern for the beverages spilling! I loved being introduced to white expresso and appreciated the additional caffeine it provided! This is the 8th time I have stopped by The Blend and indulged in a seasonal flight. Every time has been a 5/5 experience! I absolutely love the big windows, decor and well lit seating area! I haven’t ordered food but the options always look delicious and fresh. I don’t drink alcohol or fruity drinks so I can not provide a review for the cocktails, spiked coffee, or smoothies, but, I can without reservation strongly recommend any of their coffee and expresso beverages! Thank you for adding this gem to what was for many years a run down shopping center. What a treat to live so close to enjoy!!!!

Nice and hip area to get some coffee and a bite to eat. First, the staff is very friendly. They will answer questions about the menu and let you know what is in your drink or food. The seating available is tables inside and cozy chairs, and outside seating is available but a bit limited. They have a regular menu and a seasonal menu (which I’m always a fan of). The regular menu had coffees and even a redbull type coffee which was interesting. I ordered a coconut latte which was yummy. This place would be great for meetings, meetups, or even a cute date. They had lots of different pastries such as croissants and also breakfast sandwiches. I highly recommend the breakfast sandwich and get the hash brown and chorizo on it! You won’t regret it! They also have a thrift shop near the coffee place so don’t forget to get your shop on as well.
