Y’all need to get on the Just Love Coffee Cafe train or you are definitely getting left behind!!! This place is definitely worth the (too little) hype it’s been getting in the Brandon/ Tampa foodie community!

This unique coffee/ sandwich shop is located at 2020 W Brandon Blvd Suite 105, Brandon, FL 33511. It is on Hwy 60, directly across the street from Sam’s Club and sharing the same strip center as Outback Steakhouse, but on the opposite end of the parking lot. It is extremely easy to get to but if you miss the turn in, you can swing in by the traffic light.

When you walk up to the cafe, there is a large oak canoping the walkway, you almost forget the whooshing traffic on Hwy 60 a few feet away. The interior is bright, lively, modern (reclaimed looking) wood tables and metal chairs & barstools in the Miami color palette. There is even a separate dining area that can be closed off with doors and rented out. In the back of the large cafe seating area are 3 recliners with trays to sip coffee and study from as well as a view of the hidden tree lined lake. The best part of all was the aroma of coffee wafting from the espresso machine that begs you to order a coffee whether you planned on it or not!

They pretty much turn every traditional breakfast or lunch combo into a waffle!y friend got the sausage, egg and cheese biscuit and it was pressed into a waffle and served with sausage gravy. She enjoyed it and had zero complaints. I got the Nutella Stuffed Waffle and it was as amazing as you’d imagine anything with Nutella and strawberries can be!! My only complaint is I wish it was offered in a larger size cause Id-a torn that upppppp! It was five star worthy without a doubt! One of the sweet baristas brought my friend and I a sample of the white chocolate raspberry scone and the blueberry scones (you guessed it- pressed in the waffle iron!)… They were absolutely fabulous! In fact, I’m not a huge blueberry fan and it was excellent! I would contemplate ordering one of these two scones on my next visit!

They offer a great variety of coffees, seasonal coffee drinks, cold brews, teas and other beverage choices. But since when we went on Sunday, it also happened to be National Cappuccino Day, my friend and I each ordered the large cappuccino. It was served in a humungous ceramic cappuccino mug which was as large as a soup bowl with a handle! It was perfectly brewed and sweetened by the barista.

My friend and I sat at the back breakfast bar facing the lake and it was very relaxing. The scenery really meshed well with our delicous breakfast choices and cappuccinos.

I will, without a doubt, be back… The question is, how soon is too soon!?!
