Sorbo Coffee

Sorbo Coffee is my favorite local coffee spot in town. I absolutely love their matcha strawberry latte. It’s so refreshing and perfectly balanced. The coconut cake and matcha cake are both super yummy, not too sweet, just right. It can get a little packed sometimes with people working on their laptops, but it’s still totally worth stopping by, especially for their to-go drinks. Such a cozy and charming local gem in the area!!!

Do not take this lightly, Sorbo is one of the best coffee and matcha cafes in Tampa Bay. This is in the upper tier of cafes along with the likes of Kalesia tea (though Kalesia doesnt do coffee like them and Sorbo does not have as much of a grip on black teas like Kalesia). If you visit both places, there is ample seating and a ton of people either studying or having a conversation over a cup. Sorbo’s espresso drinks are velvety and creamy and almost no other viet espresso/asian-based cafe imitates this. The coffee reminds of places like Da Vien in Little Saigon in Southern California (where the Fast and the Furious was filmed). Their matcha is top tier, they will not serve you older, irony-tasting matcha. Their pastries are also no slouch - I do not know if Sorbo bakes this or sources it but the baked goods go beyond standard fare and start diving into things like basque cheesecakes and youll see it paired with flavors like Ube! The vibes are also great. Many cafes try to throw up a grass wall, some ikea steel chairs, and call it a day. With Sorbo, the atmosphere creates a uniform chill vibe. The floor to walls are darkened. Theres a mix of tables, padded couches and chairs, and a communal table in the center that does not feel out of place or awkward to sit at. Many people stay for an hour+. I live over in the Westchase/Oldsmar area and I gladly make the 40 minute drive to Sorbo. I plan it around a day to visit the Outlet mall, the all abilities playground with my kid, Lotte Mart, etc.

This is the best matcha ube latte I have tried in Tampa so far. I am a big matcha fan and I can confidently say that their matcha was excellent. It was not bitter but really umami-rich, which went so well with the earthy-sweet ube base. Their cream croissant was pretty good too. The cafe was a little bit too crowded, but it was not a problem for me. Highly recommend if you like matcha!

I come here every time I’m in town for business. Highly recommend the matcha latte. The matcha has a strong flavor balanced with what tastes like sweet cream/condensed milk. The pistachio croissant is so flaky the layers just crumble away when you bite into it. They give it to you perfectly toasted. Great service and good vibes always!

Place is beautiful and amazing imported matcha! The cashier was so sweet and helpful with the menu and what to recommend. Matcha was perfect and beautiful! The matcha cake IS A MUST!! So yummy, not too sweet, not too bitter! Prices are fair and get a good amount for what you paid for quality!

Sorbo is usually great, they have great flavors and options, but service can be a hit or miss. Sometimes staff can be so cold and rude it’s hard to look past that. Atmosphere is ok. It gets super cramped and busy at times making it hard to use it as a place to read or relax. I recommend the iced mocha latte and iced ube espresso.

Sorbo Coffee had been on my list for a while, so we finally decided to visit on a Saturday afternoon. As we walked in, we noticed the café was busting with people enjoying their coffee and others working on their laptops. We placed our order at the counter: Black Coffee, Strawberry Matcha Latte, and a Croissant. The service was quick, and we received our order in under 15 minutes. In the meantime, we found a spot to sit. The Black Coffee was served hot and brewed with freshly roasted beans, it had a smooth flavor that I really enjoyed. The Strawberry Matcha Latte was beautifully made, with a balanced and delicious blend of flavors. Paired with the freshly baked croissant, which was warm, and perfectly toasted, it made for a delightful combination. Sorbo Coffee is not only a great place for quality coffee, but also ideal for getting work done, thanks to their available Wi-Fi and inviting environment.

Made the trip to try Sorbo for the first time today and it was good! We were given a drink we hadn’t ordered and the barista remade it which I appreciate but feel should be standard. Ube matcha was great! came a second time after going to the wiregrass mall since we drove an hour to try it out and grab another drink before making our way out. barista left a cute heart on my cup the second time around 😌
