Mojo Books & Music 2540 E. Fowler Ave. | Tampa, FL 33612 | (813) 971-9717 If you are in need of a little energy, pop by Mojo Books & Music for a Yama, iced coffee. It is coffee that’s cold brewed, low acidity and mega tasty. Now that Tampa weather it is pushing into the 90-degree level in Florida, an icy-cold coffee is a must to stay cool and awake at the same time. Pop by Mojo for a cup. ~K.G.

Loving Hut

1905 E Fletcher Ave | Tampa, FL 33612 | (813) 977-7888

With much hesitation, I tried out the Loving Hut an international chain of vegan restaurants. To my surprise, it was pretty awesome. We didn’t know anything about the items on the menu, but the super-nice waitstaff recommended some awesome treats. The vegan Pad Thai was the stand-out dish.

Aside from the restaurant’s strange religious affiliation (Quan Yin Method  - huh?) and the odd videos on the television, it was a solid experience. While I’m not converting to a vegan lifestyle any time soon, the food was impressive and I will most likely eat there again.

Taco Bus Quesadilla. Taco Bus doesn’t make your typical crap chain-restaurant Quesadilla. I don’t really care if it is authentic or not, I could eat this everyday. ~K.G.

Taco Bus Chicken & Shrimp Tacos

I can’t get enough of the Taco Bus. Normal Mexican food can be over-cheesed, over-sauced and a bit sloppy. Not here. I’ve always been impressed by the consistency of the food. I really haven’t had anything I didn’t enjoy.

Cigar City Angry Chair

Recently, I attended the a night a Cigar City for the release of a few new brews from Angry Chair, a new sub-brand of sorts. Pretty tasty stuff. 

Angry Chair brews I tried include:

  • Sam’s Not-So-German Sweet Stout
  • Flambe Strong Ale (favourite) 

Cigar City was packed for this event, but was lots of fun. There were plenty of beer snobs in attendance. They are the type of person that yammers incessantly about some craft brew they’ve tried and how they prefer “hoppier” beers. It made for great people watching while drinking my tasty Angry Chair beer.
