I always Grubhub from here and the consistency and taste of the food is great. The Caribe Colossal is a great deal for the amount of food you get and its always good. One of my top delivery go to when wanting breakfast!! Go ahead and try them!!

My survey isn’t about the food, but rather about the security of your credit card. I went to this restaurant on December 23, 2025, and when I paid with my business credit card at 3:00 pm, it only took 33 minutes for a transaction to be made by an unknown company called Vendexa for $18. That was the only time I used my card in days. The next day I called my bank, and they froze my account immediately. Then I called the restaurant and asked for the manager, who was the same person who charged me the day before, and that idiot told me he didn’t care what happened to me. NOTE: If you go to eat at this place, be careful when using your credit card; I recommend using cash only. Because I think someone is cloning credit cards to make illegal transactions.

The definition of a family owned neighborhood cafe. Walk in and seat yourself wherever a table is open, or sit at the bar and wait for your carry out order.
The ladies will quickly come to your table for your drink order and anything else needed once you are ready. My goal here was to try one dish I have never had before but something light and under 5 dollars if possible.
Even though I love a cafe con leche, that hot milk and my stomach just don’t agree, ask for an American Coffee with cream if you want to keep it simple.
Wanting something light, yet filling, I decided on the Caldo Gallego Soup and a Greek Salad. Save a few dollars by ordering the combo versus ordering them separately. This white bean soup is full of collards, chorizo and small bits of potato, the flavor is mild but well seasoned so you appreciate the ingredients, and is definitely a comfort food.
The Greek salad is a nice portion despite it being a small, heavily topped with thick feta, onions, green peppers, olives, and a scoop of potato salad hiding at the bottom of the bowl. The meal comes with a generous chunk of lightly toasted and buttered Cuban bread, and ohhhh that bread is addictive so be careful!
The portion size is very generous, especially if you are on a budget, they also have several full menu items at $5.00 and less, so yes, you can find something to fill your belly here without breaking your summer budget!
The staff is friendly all around, I observed diners who you can tell are regulars chatting it up with the staff, and others who were just running in to pick up a Cuban Sandwich greeted with a smile, light conversation and quick service.
I was pleased with my experience, especially dining alone (though that never bothers me) . The food was delicious, well worth the money, and I had a nice serving of bread left over to take with me.
So if you find yourself in Tampa needing a family friendly place to stop for breakfast or lunch, check out Cafe Caribe and tell them Unnerved Traveler sent you!
Enjoy

Serving breakfast and lunch, cafe caribe is a hidden gem in Carrollwood, Tampa. For starters, I have tried so many things on the menu and have never been disappointed in the slightest. This is the kind of local place where you can take guests and know you are getting consistently delicious food and are not going to break the bank when you pay the tab. The cafe con leche always comes out as exactly what I was craving, and, in my opinion, it is the best one in this area. Portions are hearty and never miss the mark. The staff hustles, they work very well as a team and have been here for a long time, so I am assuming they treat the staff very well which is always a plus in supporting local businesses. I have been bringing my family here since they first opened and today I had the opportunity to meet the owner, John. He was very professional and attentive in helping his staff. I am always happy to support this local place to eat!

Lack of consistancy is all over. Today Caribe joined the ranks. I drove past 3 other places to get my sandwich here since it was so good last time, even though it costs more. Hugely disappointed with what I got. Could have paid half at any one of 2 places I past on the way there.
I generally come here for a sandwich or morning coffee w/ a pastry. Pleasant atmosphere, groups conversing while getting breakfast to start the day, families w/ kids and young couples crowding in to this small locale. Small eating counters at the front and by the kitchen. Serving breakfast, lunch, soups, sandwiches and specials. Foods good.

Cafe caribe has always been one of my favorite spots to eat at.
The food is insanely cheap and the quality does not suffer at all for it. Plenty of amazing options down to the hearty broth of the chicken noodle soup to the crispy breading of the fried chicken. This place will forever be one of my favorite places to enjoy some food that tastes like it was made by a real person.
Love this place, so much.

Need a pick me up before work ? Stop by and get yourself a cafe con leche with Cuban toast /butter . Very simple and good . You can easily order ahead of time and they have a pick up spot up front . But once you walk into the place you are greeted and your order will be taken and placed . They have many options for breakfast with reasonable prices .

Our waiter was great, super friendly and helpful. The food was okay flavor wise. The only thing I’ll say is the price a little pricey for the kind of food. But def worth a try. The portions were good.

Very friendly staff, good value. Maybe more of a preference thing, but the Cuban bread was lacking the crunchy flakiness I prefer, had more of a soft bready feel.
Also the parking lot is awful.
