What Visitors Love
We had the most wonderful experience dining at Copa in Tampa! From the moment we walked in, the staff was exceptionally warm and friendly, making us feel completely welcome. And the food? Absolutely delicious—every single dish we tried was packed with incredible flavor and cooked to perfection. We truly enjoyed every minute of our evening and are definitely planning to come back again soon. Highly recommended! 🍷✨
Excellent service with food and coffees to match. We especially loved the guava and cheese pastry and the lox of love. The Madeline dipped into the cafe bombon was so good too. The restaurant is cute and hustling all the time. We liked it so much we may be back tomorrow!
This is a must, no matter what time of day! Breakfast is GREAT, I had the salmon sandwich and a cucumber limeade. Dinner was the flavor packed shrimp bowl and hookah on a warm night outside while a DJ played Afro-Latin beats. Perfect. The staff was very welcoming and attentive to detail, delivering high quality cocktails and gave frequent check ins. During my last trip, I came to Copa quite a few times! Definitely recommend.
COPA! Great establishment. You all have great food and a wonderful setup with indoor and outdoor seating along with a Hookah bar. The cocktails were made perfectly and our server was prompt and friendly. We definitely look forward to visiting again.
Happened upon this little spot just walking down Central and so glad I did the gentleman who served my table were the best. Wonderful suggestions on food and drinks and the beautiful weather afforded me outdoor dining. The indoor dining was a whole vibe too. Highly recommend you make this a stop if you are visiting St. Pete and strolling Central.
