Coffee Shop with a Fizzy Twist

Caffeine in downtown Tampa is a European-inspired coffee lab that brews unusual coffee concoctions that surprise and refresh.

Located at 212 E. Cass St., Caffeine’s signature iced drinks include an orange cold brew and the milkshake-like Aero Cappuccino. But what really sets Caffeine apart is the sparkling coffee: espresso + ginger ale.

I know what you’re thinking, and even the barista admits you’ll either love it or hate it. Count me in the love camp. I found it refreshing on an unusually warm March day. You get a taste of the tonic first, with a subtle coffee flavor finish.
