I don't even know where to begin...but here it goesSumitra has been a second home for me for at least 2 years now. I found myself in Gulfport, after my divorce, caregiving and living with an elderly woman down the street from Sumitra. Being that I am ALL about energy and the woman I took care of was 88 years old with dementia and lived in fear. I found it very hard to be able to handle the energy in her home and in her company. It was so stagnant and heavy being that it had been the same for over 40 years. I gravitated towards sumitra because of ALL the feel good flowy energy cultivated by the owner, Maurice and the beautiful Goddesses that run the place. It ignited my soul and love for cacao and Not just any cacao, sacred ceremonial cacao blessed by shamans in Guatemala. As well as delicious crepes and coffee!Sumitra held me in love, honor and grace when I needed it the most. I was drained and tired and did not feel like myself working in such a lower environment than I'm used to. Maurice provided me and so many other worthy souls with a home that recharged my energy and helped me get through the experience I had created for myself. I would journal for hours and would lose time drawing, creating and connecting with the community. Sumitra provided me with delicious coffee, feel good energy/vibes and connection to the community I now find myself apart of. It's also where I met my now husband! As well as two of my now roommates! Sumitra, Maurice and the Goddesses, have supported me with way more than I could ever imagine. I trusted my intuition and found myself a home, friendships and a tribe I am so proud to call my family I am so grateful. Thank you Papa Smurf aka Maurice, a father to all. You ALL have assisted in my growth and expansion more than you'll ever know. I love you so much!

This place is a gem. My friend and I went here for drinks when we were in Gulf Port. The girl at the counter was very sweet and helped us pick out our drinks. I got an iced matcha latte and with agave instead of honey. It was nice and refreshing, a little too sweet for me, but the flavor was great.My friend got the turmeric latte. Overall the vibe was very nice and relaxing, there’s both inside and outside seating.

Update: the coffee is great and so is the food. HOWEVER, my issue is that the coffee shop shares space with offices upstairs. The problem is that people will be talking for mins at a time in the hallway in loud voices and it's distracting and eventually annoying (especially if you're trying to study or concentrate). They need to do something about it.

One of my happy places in Tampa Bay -- had been a while since I came (maybe 2 years?!). SO much joy to be back and know every detail I loved about it still stands.Staff still as lovely as ever. Beautifully made coffees and hot chocolates. Their Mayan cacao elixirs are still as strong, as flavorful as I remember. Got the chocolatte this time with the Mayan full spice blend and oat milk: PERFECT. I was worried maybe the oat milk wouldn't stand the heat, but it was still a beautifully creamy hot drink.I also decided to try food as their sesame chili shrimp croissant sounded unique and delicious. Croissant had that perfect flakyness and standout buttery flavor you expect of a great croissant. As for the filling, I was expecting a more intense, bolder flavor - it was still tasty, but I'd use more of that unique sauce/dressing in future batches so the unique sesame chili flavor can stand out against the strong buttery flavor of the croissant. The shrimps were big and perfectly cooked though, so no complains there!Ambiance ALWAYSSSS on point here. Gosh, PEACE. Peace to lightly chat, peace to work. You'll get the random louder type of customer at the counter, but they usually end up sitting outside. Otherwise, a beautiful Moroccan-style cafe interior with cushions, comfy couches, and gorgeous furniture. Light, easy-listening jazz at the right volume beautifully wraps up the ambiance of Sumitra.There's also outdoor seating, which is perfect for people watching. There's plenty of shade between the generous awning of the bldg. and large umbrellas on the other side of the sidewalk.All in all, the perfect cafe you've been looking for! Highly recommended.

A very legitimate coffee shop, offering plenty of coffee, tea and hot chocolate. Nice variety of sweet and savory pastries. Beware, some items, including all the cookies are infused with CBD and suited only for adults. The atmosphere was super chill and very hip in nature. It reminded me of a coffee shop you would find in San Francisco or Seattle.
