The Cafe by Mise en Place

Food is the bomb.com! Not salty and not over cooked! I wanted to try the shrimp and grits but because the atmosphere seemed a little “dingy” I was nervous the bowl of my grits would be dirty( just me being paranoid!) but overall food is amazing, the servers are very bland but attentive (especially the Caucasian with dark brunette hair who brought her food from the kitchen) and it’s a relaxed atmosphere. It took us 30min to get through security but once through we were able to seat ourselves almost immediately. Would recommend if you have time to spare and you’re a relaxed person. Would NOT recommend if you’re “pinky’s up” and think your s*** don’t stink like everyone else’s! Cheers!

Nice balanced menu even with few choices. Similar comment I would say about the wine menu. The plates were presented with some passion from the kitchen. The food is flavorful, neat and to the point. Our server was professional, efficient, and attentive. A positive experience in the Tampa airport.
***** (five stars) for our server!

Quiet atmosphere, great service from "Austin like the city in Texas", food was good quality, and offered something different than the usual upscale bar-food airport restaurant scene. Had to take off a star because the tables/chairs and carpet in the back half of the restaurant need refurbishment. The front of the cafe/bar is nice: upscale sleek modern, but does not match the faded worn scratched up tables and chairs with permanent butt prints in the back half. Would absolutely come back next time and try some of the other delicious looking food and great personalities of the serving staff.

Fantastic food, great accommodations, amazing wine and cocktails(try out that Tea Bramble, its very delicious). If you have the time (I recommend at least an hour), definitely check this place out! Took a minute for staff to greet us, but I can tell they were busy as I saw a line in front. I will definitely come back when I travel to Florida.

I wasn't able to get her name, but I'd like to give a shout out to your wonderful hostess for being a wonderful soul! Thank you so much for being very kind even with us being under stress from our delayed flight. Bless this staff for their wonderful work!

With its very convenient location this cafe serves travelers inside Tampa International Airport. It is a great place to spend time while waiting to board your plane. Any waiting time to be served is worth it. Their creamy latte is so far one of the best coffees I have ever tried when traveling. The salad was good, but nothing compares to the delicious latte. They also had NBA games on tv which made my stay completely amazing. Surprised me that they didn't have a lid for my disposable cup, something that can't be missed specially where they are located. Overall an excellent experience.
