"This place was so good and exceeded our already high expectations! Our waitress, Anna, was so polite and helpful. She was very attentive and patient and provided great suggestions if we had questions. The salmon avocado toast was out of this world, the stuffed croissant French toast was amazing, the shrimp and grits were creamy and perfectly flavored, and the gluten free waffle was excellent. The Dubai chocolate cappuccino was delicious and just the right amount of sweet. Anna was also great with my husband’s service dog and offered us some free treats for him which was so nice. Would absolutely recommend this place and we will definitely be returning!"

"We were greeted in a very friendly way from the moment we arrived. The place was extremely clean and had a great, cozy atmosphere. The presentation of the dishes was beautiful — the waffles were absolutely amazing! We also ordered a sandwich, and it was very tasty as well. The drinks were great, and my son completely fell in love with the milkshake 😊 We will definitely come back next time!"

"Everything here is amazing!! I got the chicken shawarma, brisket sandwich and the dubai waffles. Waffles were PHENOMENAL! would get again. Brisket was tender, flavorful and yummy :) Chicken shawarma was a first for me and might no be for me but i’m glad I tried it. Could check on customers a little more but service was nice."

"I was looking for a good breakfast spot downtown and stumbled upon Dip and Happy. The name alone made me smile! After seeing so many glowing reviews, I decided to give it a try, and I’m so glad I did. Parking can be a bit tricky since there’s no dedicated lot (just street parking and paid lots nearby), but it’s definitely worth the effort. The service was warm and welcoming from the start. My mom is still talking about their shrimp and grits. Beautifully presented, perfectly seasoned, and paired with their house-made jalapeño cornbread, which was a hit. The menu is extensive, offering plenty of tempting breakfast and lunch options. I was especially impressed by their Dubai Chocolate selections, from the Dubai Chocolate waffles to the Strawberries & Pistachio Latte. Can’t wait to come back and try more from this gem of a restaurant!"

"First time visit and can't wait to go back. The French Dip was amazing and the au jus was very good. A different but amazing flavor profile I've never had in an au jus before and not super salty. My partner enjoyed his grilled cheese and really liked the Cesar salad. He said his milkshake and waffle stick was amazing but I did not sample...maybe next time. A must visit in downtown Tampa for sure."
