We were very disappointed with this location. We go to the ones in Orlando frequently (and love them) and we're excited to see one in Tampa. But if you want something other than cold pastries skip it. First it's still branded as Sweet Buns inside, they haven't made the effort to transition fully to a 1908. 2nd, The menu is limited to bakery items and unlike other locations they were cold. They do not have the full menu. Not even boba, teas, or coffees. 3rd There isn't even a water station. Not even cups and ice water! Just the basics were missing. This was such a disappointed and not worth the 45 minute drive it took us to get there. Until it is fully operational the website should be changed to reflect what it is. 1908 has let us down. Step it up and bring to Tampa the quality, delicious variety, service, and wonderful experience you are loved for in Orlando.

Clean and organized. When we got there it was in the evening around 7pm. Most of the items were sold out, didn’t look that fresh and one of the workers was sweeping and getting ready to close. I would have thought at closing, most or all of the items should be discounted at 50% off. But anyway we bought a few things. Just to say, it’s not like the bigger store in Orlando we went to. Where the Orlando store had hot foods you can order and more bakery items. Next time we’re in the Tampa area, we’ll check it out again around breakfast time.

I recently visited this bakery, and it instantly became one of my new favorite spots. The first thing I noticed was how super clean everything was—the counters, tables, and display cases were spotless, which made the whole place feel really welcoming. The staff were incredibly nice and friendly, making the whole experience feel warm and personal. The atmosphere is calm, cozy, and relaxing—perfect for hanging out, studying, or just enjoying a quiet moment. The food was honestly so good; everything tasted fresh and made with care. The drinks were just as amazing, with great flavors and the perfect balance. You can tell they put effort into both their menu and presentation. Overall, everything about this bakery was just good, calming, and genuinely pleasant. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, friendly, and delicious spot to grab a treat or drink. I can’t wait to go back!

Sweet Buns is a gem in Tampa. The bakery is bright, welcoming, and filled with beautiful options in both the sweet and savory sections. I tried the chicken and ham sweet bun and it was delicious. Savory, cheesy, and full of flavor in every bite. I also had the blueberry cinnamon roll and it was delectable. Soft and light, just the right amount of sweetness, and packed with flavor. I paired everything with a black coffee that was smooth and bold, the perfect balance for the pastries. The self-serve setup makes it fun to explore and the selection is impressive with everything from stuffed buns to pastries and desserts. If you are in the area and craving fresh baked goods with great coffee, Sweet Buns is worth a visit.

I have been wanting to experience this shop for a long time! I live far away but love this type of Asian bun bakery. Sweet Hut outside Atlanta is my favorite. The concept is very similar, a nice variety of specialty cakes, gourmet cookies, both sweet and savory buns. Japanese cheese cakes and something called a banana hug! I love a good egg custard tart, so I had to try that! It was decent. I wanted to buy a wife cake but the woman working said it wasn’t fresh. I also bought pastry for a gift and was sad to learn that a box cost $5, which is more than covering the cost. So she stuffed my beautiful buns into bags. The cafe is modern and nice but the children of either the owner or staff were running around and throwing pens, etc.
