“We make you happy”

Voted as one of Tampa's 5 Best Coffee Shops by The Culture Trip, Felicitous is known as one of Tampa's, and especially USF's, favorite local dog-friendly coffeehouse.

With optional outdoor seating and free WiFi, Felicitous's special location in a renovated home adds to its eclectic Boho vibes accentuated by funky and retro decor.

Their diverse menu (mostly bought from local, independently owned vendors) consists of sorts of coffees, espressos, teas, frappes, milk & chocolate & chai, and other specialty options like their Mississippi Mud which consists of the delicious mix of hot chocolate, espresso, marshmallows, whip, and chocolate drizzle. Whether you're in the mood for something conventional to something with a little fruity taste, Felicitous is able to cater to your needs. Luckily the array also has all different levels of caffeine types based on the customer's wants or needs. They also have a nice variety of sandwiches, pressed panini, and other gluten free vegan options as well. There's also the convenience of being able to walk up and order from their outdoor window from the patio!


When they're not hosting inspiring open mic nights on the patio (held the last Wednesday of every month), their laid-back atmosphere adapts in which, “The music switches from EDM to Motown with little rhyme or reason, unless someone is playing a guitar in the corner or outside on the huge patio that serves as the place to chat with friends or cram for finals,” as the Tampa Tribune raves. Felicitous' community-conscious vibes allows a safe space for all kinds of people and its environment

Felicitous' owner also has the interesting background story of formerly having been a USF student! Noticing the lack of unique, non-corporate local, off-campus study spots reminiscent of the ones she visited in cities like Vermont and Chicago, she decided to open Felicitous after graduating and being an architect for awhile.


Welcoming all artists, writers, students, poets, musicians, activists, and community patrons, Felicitous Coffee & Tea is definitely a one-of-a-kind local gem that shouldn't be overlooked!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
