Flatbread & Butter's new cafe is now open in downtown Tampa

People are already taking pictures of their breakfast outside Tampa’s newest place to get a really good pull of espresso.

Flatbread & Butter has soft-opened near the corner of Tyler Street and Ashley Drive, giving downtown denizens, and students living in the nearby Henry building, a place to catch a caffeine buzz and get some work done (bring your own WiFi though).

Located at 101 W Tyler St. in the shadow of the old Tampa Bay Times building , Flatbread and Butter is already running a full coffee bar menu which includes drip, cold brew, and all the espresso things (like this ridiculously decadent cortado in front of me right now). Loose leaf tea and lattes (matcha, golden, chai) are available, too.

The concept, as previously reported, is a favorite in St. Petersburg’s coffee shop scene, where the small menu includes burritos, loaded toasts, yogurt bowls, breakfast sandwiches, pizzas, and of course, flatbreads.

Cafe owner Jesse Muire signed Flatbread's Tampa lease sometime in 2020, and announced plans for the Tampa location last fall. The 3D-coffee bar is here, as promised, and a small menu of pastries is available while the rest of the menu gets off the ground.

For now, downtown Tampa's new Flatbread & Butter location is open 7:30 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday-Thursday, 7:30 a.m.-9 p.m. Friday and 8 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday-Sunday.
