Mr Special

Super friendly, great coffee and awesome breakfast sandwiches... it's a hidden little gem.

"I think it was f***ing good" - my boyfriends words! We were only in Tampa for a night but found this whole in the wall and our expectations were exceeded greatly! The coffee is amazing. We can appreciate the hustle of the workers--so busy yet so friendly and efficient! Will come back given the chance.

Such a good spot, needs more hype it's amazing! Bacon egg cheese 10/10. Really nice and the wait is about 5-10 minutes max. Haven't tried the coffee but is probably good

Mom and pop shop that's only open in the morning til mid afternoon. LOVE everything they make. They are the kindest people in the world and they make the meaniest egg sandwich and CUBAN! ughhh sooo good! My go to is Cuban coffee (large) with bread and butter.. or there are days I'll do a ham and egg sandwich and then run by at lunch and do a Cuban sandwich. Do yourself a favor though and call to place your order. It is a convenient store but there are only 2 of them working so getting your food quick is not an option but calling ahead is. =)

You can't go wrong with this place. The sandwiches are FANTASTIC! Ron, Dennis and his Mom are the nicest people you could ever meet. I highly recommend Mr. Special to anyone who has a taste for a great sandwich.

Let me add to the good things said about Mr. Special. This is THE place for a breakfast sandwich, infinitely better than the fast food chains, yours is made to order right before your eyes....fresh....no pre-mades here. Very reasonable price. Awesome café con leche too! Go Now! You know you want to!

Mt. Special is located on MLK Blvd. West of Lois and the Drivers license center. Yes, I agree it is a whole in the wall convince store that makes some food. A true mom & pop joint business.The breakfast sandwiches may be the talk of the town, but in my humble opinion, the Cuban is pedestrian & certain ally nothing special. The bread was good, with minimal cheese, the pork almost obsolete and no pickle. What kind of a Cuban sandwich is that, in a city like Tampa. It is a cheap lunch, and with all the bread quite filling, a true Cuban, it is not.I may try the breakfast sandwiches, if I happen to be in the area. I will never return for a cuban, where all the measly meat should be on half the sandwich & there is minimal pulled pork and no pickle. Sorry Tampa abounds with good & great Cuban sandwiches, we don't need to settle for less.What's a girl to do? Know what she's ordering and thoroughly enjoy it.

What a dump this place is, old with very little on the shelves. But it's always the dumps where you find a nice surprise. The surprise here is how good the Cuban sandwiches are, places that sell Cuban sandwiches in Tampa are plentiful so I can afford to be picky, the sandwiches here are tasty and worth getting. So don't be afraid to walk in here .

When I lived in Tampa and worked for the dealership this was my go to spot every morning . The breakfast was amazing

Always so nice. Great customer service! Whenever I order a sandwich or cafe it's always excellent!! Good prices and great food!
