Welcome to Corona's Coffee Shop, a hidden gem nestled in Tampa, Florida, at 9307 N Nebraska Ave. As a reviewer passionate about food, I can't help but be captivated by this delightful Latin American café that brings the essence of home-cooked meals right to your table.

The moment you step inside, the warm and welcoming ambiance invites you to relax. Though the space is simple—characterized by its unmarked parking lot and cement block construction—it's the heartwarming food and friendly service that leave a lasting impression. As you sit down, the aroma of freshly brewed Cuban coffee fills the air, instantly reminding you of fond memories shared over a comforting cup.

But it’s not just the coffee that draws in the crowd; the menu is a celebration of breakfast offerings that are both hearty and soul-satisfying:

• Corona's Omelets: Choose from an array of meats like bacon, sausage, or ham, impeccably paired with onions, green peppers, and tomatoes. Served with either Cuban or white toast, these omelets are a winner and start at just $7.95.
• Breakfast Sandwiches: The crispy toasted Cuban bread cradles delicious fillings, such as the Bacon, Eggs, and Cheese Sandwich ($7.00) or the classic BLT Sandwich ($5.55).
• Breakfast Plates: For those craving a heartier meal, options range from French Toast, Eggs, and Meat Plate ($9.55) to the traditional Mangu, 2 Eggs, Salami, and Fried Cheese Plate ($11.00).

Patrons rave about the flavors, with one customer, Maria D., applauding the service, stating how a missing dish turned into a delightful surprise with a homemade version. Reviews echo with sentiments of how the food evokes a sense of being cared for like by a beloved family member. The thoughtful care of the staff, especially Yohanna and her team, makes every visit feel like home. Customer Keith B.'s description of the tasty breakfast omelet coupled with Cuban coffee exemplifies why this spot is a must-try.

The coffee is often mentioned in customer feedback as exceptional. Eliud N. even likened the flavor to the coffee made by his mother. Meanwhile, Jasmine M. reminisced about delicious grits reminiscent of her time in South Carolina, though she lamented the fresh fish running out. All in all, the quality of each dish shines through, making this café a quintessential experience for anyone seeking comfort food in Tampa.

If you find yourself in the area—perhaps on your way to Busch Gardens—a stop at Corona's Coffee Shop should be on your itinerary. With its unbeatable coffee, hearty breakfasts, and service that feels like a warm embrace, it’s a destination where you can enjoy homemade goodness. Come for the food, stay for the warmth.
