Retro House Coffee Bar & Asian Bistro

We just discovered a hidden gem in Ybor … The Retro House Coffee Bar & Asian Bistro was beyond our expectations! Everything was exceptional …. From the amazing fresh roasted coffee … to the to die for dim sum. The House Fried Rice & Chicken & Lemongrass Dumplings were delicious! A great place to gather … relaxed vibe … Art & Vintage items … even a Lava lamp. Can’t wait to return and happy to have some FULL MOON espresso coffee to make at home until next visit.

What an awesome bistro & cafe. The coffee “Full Moon” was amazing, no bitter taste, the beans were well roasted not burnt tasting like national chains. The Fried Rice with BBQ Pork was tasty. Saved some for my roommate at home, otherwise I would have finished it all. This is a beautiful cafe with local art and wonderful atmosphere. I will be back and will be brining friends.

*** A MUST TRY ASIAN BISTRO / COFFEE SHOP WITH A PARKING LOT AND WIFI IN WALKING DISTANCE FROM CHANNELSIDE *** Stumbled upon this little gem and started with a ceremonial grade matcha latte 🍵 FOOD: If you like dim sum style cuisine- this should be added to your list! Everything is made from scratch and you can tell! ORDERED: crab Rangoon egg rolls 🦀 (cream cheese, onion, scallions, krabstick, celery), the lemongrass chicken dumplings 🥟 with herb infused soy sauce, and the Har Gow 🍤 (light shrimp dumplings with a housemade chili crisp) — all were delicious!! Fresh, flavorful and great textures! Good music playing with casual cool vibes! They have featured artwork from local artists for sale and I was informed they also have events and live music / open mic type things there too (I’m sure you have to follow on social or call for more info) Overall- HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

What a vibe! An absolute joy of a dining experience. The fried rice and bao were top notch. They also promote and sell local artists work on their walls as part of the decor. All around wonderful experience. Can't wait to go back and try more, especially for bunch. We went for dinner. The brunch menu looked just as amazing if not more. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Love this little Asian coffee spot so much. The French fries were amazing. The owner shared that they’ve been perfecting the spice blend for seven years, and it absolutely shows. Overall, the food was great, thoughtfully prepared, and full of flavor. I especially loved my lavender matcha, which was non-dairy and perfectly balanced. Such a cozy, welcoming place. I’ll definitely be back. ☕️✨ If you want it a touch shorter or more casual, I can tweak it.
