The Attic is located on Kennedy Boulevard in the heart of downtown Tampa, located on the top floor of a 100 year old historic building. The local cafe, established in 2015, serves a wide range of breakfast, lunch, and caffeinated beverages. Not only do they offer coffee and tea beverages, they also have a variety of local beer taps, ciders, wine, and kombucha.
I started off with a hot Macchiato since I thought it would be fitting for a cool fall day, and all of the fall decor in the cafe gave me that feel. With so many options available for breakfast, I decided to get the Veggie Omelet with toast and hash browns. Max, my co-worker who I brought along, got the Croissant breakfast sandwich and french toast. My omelet had spinach, peppers, onions, mushrooms, and cheddar, a perfect morning combo.
The french toast came beautifully dusted with powdered sugar and whipped cream- if you have a sweet tooth this is the perfect choice for you. I definitely recommend everything we ordered, and I can’t wait to go back to try out more menu options.
The overall ambiance of the cafe was relaxed and cheerful. Decked out in Halloween decorations and pumpkins, it gave off a very festive vibe. The porch, where we sat, is lined with Florida-native plants and along the Tampa city line. Max and I noticed when we arrived that there was a tree next to us growing fresh limes. If you are looking for some fresh air and a bit of downtown scenery, this is the place to be.
Overall, The Attic was a wonderful experience and is spot to be when you need a little break from the office- I will definitely find myself here more often since it is right across the street from our office building. The waitstaff was cheerful and helpful, and the food doesn’t disappoint, whether you’re looking for breakfast or lunch. If you’re looking for a quick getaway from the office or just a nice, calm breakfast- The Attic is the place to be!
