Felicitous

Tampa/St. Pete trip Part 2 Cozy coffee and tea shop anchoring Lark on 42nd close to USF. This place oozes cuteness… I really loved the vibe in here. Had a hot herbal tea made with tea leaves that I thoroughly enjoyed. Only reason for the 4/5 stars was one of our group wanted a muffin from the case.. but they refused to give that to her even to go as they have a policy of no food sold 30 minutes before closing. Now I get that but this was taking it out of the case and putting it in a bag.. we were clear we did not want them to heat it or serve it in any way. That was a bit off putting but this is more to make you aware of that policy. Oh and parking is tricky as there are only a few spots out front but there are a few others in the garage behind it.

I love Felicitous’s unique coffees and eclectic atmosphere. I frequented the one near USF and was excited to check this location out. This is a cozy and fun coffee shop built into the front of an apartment complex. That said, getting there was a journey. Finding parking is confusing: I had to park on the 7th floor visitor parking and then walk allll the way down and around the outside of the complex to get to the coffee shop.(Maybe I missed closer assigned parking but I was looking hard and saw no signs.) I’d say Felicitous on 42nd is worth a visit but be aware of the extra 10-20 minutes needed to park and walk over, and that some of that walk is outside if there is inclement weather.

What an absolute charm this place was! The ambience was absolutely exquisite and devastatingly opulent. The level of attention to the music, decor and of course, the Coffee and Tea. Friendly staff and their genuine and unforced customer service made me feel welcomed and included. This place really feels like what relaxation needs to be when you need that temporary escape from reality for just a brief moment.

This place is awesome! We came in and immediately were greeted and he let us take our time with the menu! He also helped us with our orders like: telling us the honest prices of everything, making a banana smoothie,and overall was just such a nice person! We also got our dog a capoochino and he loved it!! Also, the person who served us actually turned out to be the owner! So hi again Paul! You make the best smoothies!

Their coffees are super unique, and there's a lot to choose from. I've only ever had great drinks here. Just know that it's actually located at the floor of an apartment complex. You have to drive up to the top of the garage (7 floors), and take the apartment building's elevator and fumble around to find the coffee shop. It's not super easy to navigate if you e never been.
