9th Bar Coffee - Palm Harbor

Friendly service, killer coffee, convenient drive thru! The maple latte was delicious and we love the free baby chino for my toddler!

This is a tough review to do. On the one hand my iced maple latte was very, very good. On the other hand it was super expensive. The cost was $7.50 for a regular size drink. That same drink everywhere else is about $2 less. I noticed only a few reviews mentioned the sky high pricing. Again the coffee was very tasty, but I won't be back because of the price.

Pretty straightforward coffee shop! Enjoyed a very good Americano with a turkey sausage sandwich. Sammy was delicious. Coffee was pipping hot which I LOVED! Also very good. Only real knock is they didn't have sugar free syrups. Not sure if this was a one off or intentional. So I would keep that in mind for future visits and for my Barry friends. Shop has a small amount of seating plus some bar stools looking over the coffee prep area. Looks comfortable and the noise level is pretty good so I could definitely see myself reading here. Bariatric friends (barry for short!): the sandwich was served on a bagel already cut in half so no need to ask but you should be able to finish it as it wasn't huge! Just the right size!

The lattes here are great. The baristas are very skilled. Prices are reasonable. Now on to the bagged coffee. Do not get it here unless you are a master coffee maker yourself. The bag I got was uniquely horrible. Out of ~20 blends we tested at my workplace, this one came out so bad that multiple people asked me to confirm that it is out of rotation. We brewed cups for ten testers, no one finished the cup. Attempt #1: ah, I'm probably gonna give this bag away. Brew #2: executive decision, after one gulp I am throwing away the bag to protect the public(If you're interested, our top scoring blends were Counterculture Forty-Six and the house coffee at The Blend)

OK I'll admit I'm kind of addicted to this place. Thankfully, for a local coffee shop it's doing so well. It has several locations in CountyThis one is in the same plaza as Jet's Pizza/right across from it in the same parking lot near Supercuts between Nebraska and Tampa Road on US Highway 19 in Palm Harbor.Such amazing quality and beautiful artistry to their coffee, tea and chai creations.Logan is a fantastic barista. Always so personable and if you tell him your flavor profiles, he can come up with something amazing. He has for me every time & they even have Dirty Chai's (Chai with a shot of espresso:)I love that their drinks are less sweet than some of the chains. #SupportLocal

Edit: decided to go back and had a far worse experience. Very weird, elitist place. I was told they had coconut flavor which I asked to get in my cold brew but was denied bc of "a weird rule the owner has" ??? So odd. I likely won't be back because that rubbed me the wrong way.

The coffee is very good, the breakfast croissant is delicious and the barista is very friendly.

I popped in here after a long hike in a park. I was feeling like I could use some energy so a wonderful espresso was my goal! The place is new, spotless and dedicated to coffee. The blend offered today was a combination of Colombian and Rwandan coffee that made the smoothest espresso ever! No sugar required or desired!I sat at the bar and enjoyed a fun conversation with the barista whose name is Omar. We compared notes on the best coffee places across Tampa Bay. We had both been to all of them! 9th bar is certainly on the list of the best!This location is hidden in the back of a strip mall so seek it out! Pure espresso from a passionate coffee crafter is my drink of choice!Life is great with espresso!

Drove approx 30 minutes from Tampa to try this amazing coffee spot. It's a bit hidden from the main road but find it. You won't be disappointed. Yes drove from Tampa because where I stay in Westchase we don't have any specialized coffee shops that make a highly rated expresso.Bartista was well informed and knew all things coffee. What a smooth well balanced flat white. Please see the sign on the wall regarding my coffee selection. Ha!Service was great inside. But if you prefer drive thru they have that as well. There's also enough space to sit sip and work if you like. It's quiet enough to conduct calls.

Excellent small coffee shop, with friendly staff and straightforward menu. Good quality coffee and a choice of sandwiches/desserts to go with it (bagels, muffins, etc). Coffee is nice and hot, and the chai too. Recommend!
