| Felicitous |
We are crazy for coffee! There are so many places to get this little cup of wonder, but what if we tire of the same old same old? Good news! Even though I love me some home brew (we gon' save that money!) I have explored some cute, down-to-earth hangs for sipping alone or with friends. These coffee houses are a great place to cozy up and hang with people and are a neat alternative to the bar scene. Sometimes I go places and well, here they are!
Felicitous: If you live anywhere near USF you may have heard of this charming little hole in the wall. Its a coffee and tea house that looks like a little cottage and has a quiet, relaxing atmosphere. With art on the walls and a guestbook full of college-age musings, it is a hub to creativity and a productive place to study. Their standard cup of coffee isn't a super high price point in comparison to Starbucks at about 3-ish dollars. Most nights there aren't too many people, but occasionally there will be a large rush of hipsters.

| Boba House |
Boba House: If you like coffee and tea and possibly boba this place is my favorite. Boba seems to be a hot little trend but this place isn't too pricey and like Felicitous has some lovely artwork. They also have a book exchange where you can give a book and grab a new book for free. They have video games and an open mic night (once a week). In relation to the other boba places around, this one and Green Island in Brandon are the best in my opinion. The other places are a bit too expensive and this place also has promotions certain days of the week like buy a medium blended drink get a small for free. My favorite drink is the me gusta which is a honeydew and taro blended drink with boba on the bottom. Delicious and very refreshing!
Oxford Exchange: This is the most on trend of all Tampa hangs right now. At this point if you haven't been, it may seem over-rated to you but it is a must see. I did some exploring on the day of one of my photo shoots and it was such a beautiful place. It has some cool authentic wood furniture, a cute little book shop and a lovely patio great for brunching. Overall its a great atmosphere filled with light and dreamy aromas.

| Concord Coffee |
Concord Coffee: This one is in the heart of Lakeland and is the workplace of one of my best friends. Its kind of far and hard to find but OH MY. It is a beautiful place and they take the craft of their coffee with such care and that you will taste it with each sip. The atmosphere is cool, simple, and clean with white and black accents and comfy places to sit. They also have bagels there and the blueberry one is to die for. I had a latte with caramel and it came out beautiful and delightfully flavorful. The cold brew is a must try and is the most refreshing coffee for the mornings with the perfect bite of bitterness to get you focused. At this place they really care about their coffee and tea - its a wonderful place to go if you're ever in that area.
