King Corona Cigars Bar And Cafe in Tampa - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

This place is dope I love it great atmosphere and the bartender Kaylor gave me some A1 customer service and the espresso martini she made was the best I have had! I will definitely come back she’s awesome!!

There’s a tall blonde bartender who has horrible service. I tipped her what she deserved that and she added went back and added more to my tip. Not only is that fraud but they don’t have an actual working phone number! Do not go here and if you do avoid that bartender.

One of the best coffees in Ybor. Don't miss this place. Nick was so friendly and helpful I would go back just to see Nick!

I am outraged that I paid $7.50 for a cafe con Leche that was weak, had no flavor and was tepid at best and made by an unsmiling barista. Not a place I'll go back to.

I just left this Establishment, As I sat smoking a purchased cigar I noticed that the staff on duty asked the other patrons if they wanted something to drink I was not, I don't know if it was because I am a African American Man but what I do know is that I will never frequent this Establishment ever again!!! I finished my cigar and I politely left!

Overall they have wonderful cigar slecetions with a nice bar with TVs to enjoy your visit. You can sit inside or outside to enjoy your stay.

The place stands out in Ybor for various reasons: - They have a great sheltered terrace - inside, it's always cool and mellow - The liquor selection is broad and fabulous - The giant humidor contains basically everything you can dream of - For once, the house blend is a fantastic cigar Last but not least, the whole staff is pleasant and smiling. My favorite joint in Ybor.

We stopped in for a few drinks and smokes. Excellent service and great humidor. The place to stop in Ybor city

Great help with a new selection, explained brands and received great service. My go to place now for cigars

Great lounge in historic ybor city. Great selection of cigars with a lot of gems and rarities. Staff is awesome and friendly. Any serious cigar smoker needs to check this place out

Under new ownership, still a great lounge and staple to historic Ybor. They have upped their cigar selection! Please bring the Cuban sandwiches back!

We love King Corona. The staff are the best of the best. If you love a great Cafe Con Leche, they have their blend of coffee. Outstanding selection of cigars and let’s not forget the wide variety of bourbon! You’ve tried the rest, now try the best😎

Fantastic Cigar Bar and the hospitality was off the chart.

One of the best places o enjoy a cigar. Great selection and great vibe.

"Smoke show" servers. (Get it? Cigars?) Super nice accommodating cigar guys. Great selection. Good selection of adult beverages and good air filtration. Definite place to smoke a stogie.

King Corona has truly stepped up its game over the past several months. The fully enclosed humidor has a tremendous selection of top drawer smokes, with plenty of room for the more economically friendly. The full bar and *awesome* espresso machine give us patrons the full range of beverages - from an early morning eye opener to the afternoon and evening cocktail hour and beyond. The restrooms (might seem like a little thing) are all redone. So what? Now I can take my wife there and not have her need to address the “ick” factor because the restrooms are clean and contemporary. The place has really come a long, long way. KC is my favorite haunt whenever I’m in Ybor and is actually now a destination for my friends and business associates to meet and enjoy. Jeff is a phenomenally attentive host and the staff are all wonderful.

Great location; awesome customer service!

Best aspect of KC is the customer service. They are absolutely brilliant. The humidor has a decent collection. The atmosphere is outstanding.

John, Jeff and Kaylor are amazing ambassadors for your company! Was there today, as I am every week, and service was spectacular as always!! See you next week!!

I have been going there a while now and enjoyed every time I went. While I do like that they renovated and it looks nice and expanded the bar I am sad that I can no longer get the Cuban sandwich’s they use to have with the banana chips but I understand and it will stop me from going. Friendly staff.

Great atmosphere, service and great cigars! Favorite cigar shop in Ybor

Nice job on the upgrades! Been coming here for 4 years and really enjoyed this visit. Great selection of cigars and the coffee is top notch.

I am brand new to Florida, Tampa, Ybor. This place felt like home instantly! The staff is great & knowledgeable in helping me choose a cigar for the day when I come in. And for someone who does not drink alcohol, there are plenty of non-alcoholic drinks to pair with a good cigar! The atmosphere inside just tops it off! Definitely my new home away from home!

I’ve been going to King Corona for years when visiting family and in Tampa for work. The place gets better every time I go there. The bar is stocked with every whiskey, Whisky, cognac, rum, and everything else you would want pair with your cigar. They have the Arturo Fuentes, Padron, and Davidoff lines with plenty in between. In my top 5 of cigar spots in the U.S. Also, this will start a riot, the best Cafe con Leche I’ve had in years.

Remodel looks great, perfect for a morning coffee and a cigar, or relaxing in the evening and people watching. Customer service is on point and the team is ready for any questions/requests you may have.

King Corona is a Ybor City must see destination. Premium cigars and cocktails are wonderful. On a cool day or night try their outdoor seating with a front row view of the people watching Ybor City is known for.

Top notch!! Amazing cigar, coffee and drink selection. Great atmosphere and friendly people.

This place has my heart. Legendary establishment in Tampa in the heart of Ybor. Great cigars, amazing service, the atmosphere is always spot on. P.S - get the espresso martini

First time here in town from Chicago. Nick and kaylor served us they were absolutely amazing 👏 great service good vibes, if your in town highly recommend. Espresso martini lovers come here!!!

Happy we came to this cigar bar. The bar is meticulously organized and they have tons of ventilation inside. Kyle was extremely helpful helping me pick out a cigar in the humidor and Kaylor was very nice helping us with drinks. Great spot to kick off a quick Tampa trip and get into the vibe.

I have been going to this place for a couple years.always great service and had a good time.not so much this time.was charged $42 for 3 glasses of half wine and $7 for coffee.and because we all know every where you go now demand tips whether service sucks and prices are straight up nonsense(even with inflation)we give a tip which now spent over $60 for 3 half glasses of wine and a coffee.i get it that's the companies fault.however when we asked for a glass of ice water,waittess says we have to go in a get our own water and if we need ice,let her know.seriously??????.not sure if this is new company policy or just a waitress thats obviously is in the wrong business.shes the Gothic looking girl there(ill be sure to get her name).TERRIBLE service.if it's not your policy then you people need to get rid of her.she will do your business more harm than good. Will never visit this place again. Too many cigar lounges all over that a waitress would gladly serve a glass of ice water with your drink before taking your$60 on a coffee and a couple half glasses of wine.do not recommed at all!!!

Great atmosphere, and the staff is always welcoming. Home away from home.

Christian was extremely helpful and very engaging. Assisted us in picking out cigars during our visit there.

Everyone was very knowledgeable great cigar selection ! Great coffee and drinks. Would highly recommend! We will definitely be back again!

Easy going and relaxed with a down to earth feeling w the customers. John was very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. There are a lot of cigars to choose from. There is indoor and outdoor seating. If you go indoors to smoke the filtration system is not strong enough to accommodate the number of smokers, so your clothes will smell even after a short time indoors.

Go see Jeff, tell him what you like and he will pick you out a great cigar, very knowledgeable.

Good lounge great atmosphere love the new cigar selection John was very helpful

It was My first visit and the associate Jonathan assisted me in selecting the perfect gift. He was professional and very knowledgeable.

Great shop , all the remodeling is great . John Hoggart in the humidor is very helpful . A must visit if in Tampa and especially ially in Ybor district

What a charming place to sit and visit. My husband loves a good cigar lounge, but many times there is no outdoor option. It was such a nice experience to sit and watch people walk around Ybor city, enjoying cocktails and and an Irish coffee while the guys enjoyed a beautiful cigar they bought inside. Loved that movie the entire experience from the waiters, the atmosphere, the music they were playing, and even the security guard out front with wonderful conversation. Definitely must stop in if your walking through Ybor

John is the best in the biz! He has extensive knowledge in fine cigars. If you’re looking for a great selection and enjoy people watching while you smoke a nice stick, then KC in Ybor is the spot. I highly recommend!

Don't miss stopping in on your trip to Tampa. A staple for cigars with a fantastic staff. Ask for Jon - you'll leave having gained knowledge about the industry and more than likely with a few new blends to try from a variety of brands.

Its been a while since I've visited… Love the upgrades/ remodel and expanded humidor! A true treasure in Tampa bay! Jon helped me in the humidor and was incredibly knowledgeable.

Great for a cigar, people watching or shooting the breeze with friends. I am not well versed in cigars, At King Corona there is a gentleman, John, who is the most friendly and knowledgably on cigars. We have brought friends and they just love it as John has helped them pick the right sticks.. Go King Corona. And don't forget to ask for John

Go see Jon at King Corona! Very knowledgeable and humble salesperson. Ask him to pick a cigar for you, then sit back relax and enjoy!

Been coming here for the last 10 years and this place is a Tampa staple. Ask for Jonathan and you are guaranteed the best level of service. He’s incredibly knowledgeable about the products and really takes pride in what he does.

One of my favorite Cigar Shops/ Lounges in Ybor city. I love smoking outside and enjoy the historic district vibe. John was very knowledgeable helpful, he recommended great cigars. Definitely will be back.

Jon was extremely helpful with picking out my cigars and made great suggestions. I was very happy with the experience. I will definitely be back.

Great place, visit on occasion, friendly staff.

Great experience. Kyle and crew were excellent. Top notch service and recommendations. Trying to fit in another stop-by before heading out.

Absolutely lovely. Delicious coffee, a wide variety of spirits, and a vast selection of cigars. Bought a Connecticut cigar and a coffee, and both were delicious. Environment is calming and aesthetic, and their music choices are so good! Would definitely go back just to relax.

One of the best lounges we've been too. Chris was the absolute best! He was knowledgeable, attentive, and all around made the experience great!

The gentleman at the cigar section was very helpful and insightful, they had my favorite cigar “between the lines”. Great spot, insightful, knowledgeable staff, service oriented! Thank you

Impressive selection of spirits, and Chris makes a mean Old Fashioned The location is great to relax outside and appreciate Ybor's character (Saturday night is a good time to watch cars cruise) The inside is social, but not loud, giving you a chance to enjoy your cigars and cocktails without feeling like you're in a bar

Large selection of cigars and dedicated service person

An excellent place to find a well crafted cocktail, (I highly suggest the espresso martini made with Red Breast Canadian whiskey). Comfortable indoor and outdoor seating and a good selection of cigars at reasonable prices. The highlight of this bar was the very friendly and fun staff. We met Jeff, the GM and espresso martini mixologist and Chris the bar manager...both were fantastic company and gave great dining recommendations. Would highly recommend a visit. 🍸🥃

The coffee, bourbon, cigars and customer service were amazing and the atmosphere was so chill. Our Humidor expert Johnathan provided superb recommendations and new favorites. This will absolutely be on our stop for future trips to Tampa. We hope the local folks enjoy this incredible experience!

I'm not sure about the re-design towards a sports bar minus kitchen was prudent but neither am I in the business. Good cigar selection however.

Best Cigar lounge I’ve found in Florida so far and I spent a month in Miami . With that being said, Kyle was very knowledgeable and helpful in finding me the perfect stick that was comparable to my normal smokes . On top of that Liberty was behind the bar and had very good knowledge and suggestions. I actually settled for an espresso instead of alcohol per her recommendation based on the mood and time of day . Would give 10 stars of if I could . I will definitely be back.

Great place to visit. Cigars and drinks.

Used to come every weekend but yesterday was my first time back since the remodel. It is much nicer on the inside now. A little unfortunate they removed their food options but it's not that big of a deal. There is plenty of café and quick service places near by.

Great cigar lounge with a perfect atmosphere. Service is top notch and they also have a great selection of cigars and hard to find Arturo Fuentes special edition cigars

I recently had the pleasure of spending an evening at King Corona Cigar Bars And Cafe, and I have to say, it was absolutely fantastic! From start to finish, everything about this place exceeded my expectations. Let's start with the cigar selection – wow! Whether you're a seasoned aficionado or just starting out, they have something for everyone. The variety and quality of cigars available were truly impressive. And let's not forget about the bar selection – it was equally amazing. The range of drinks they offer is extensive, and the quality is top-notch. One of the things I loved most about King Corona Cigar Bars And Cafe is the size and layout of the place. With both indoor and outdoor seating options, there's plenty of room to spread out and relax. The indoor seating area is incredibly comfortable, making it the perfect spot to enjoy a cigar and a drink with friends. And if you prefer to be outdoors, the ambiance is just as inviting. The servers at King Corona Cigar Bars And Cafe were also a highlight of the experience. They were incredibly polite and attentive, always making sure that we had everything we needed. Their friendly demeanor added to the overall welcoming atmosphere of the lounge. To top it all off, the live music was the cherry on top of an already perfect evening. The talented musicians created the perfect backdrop for conversation and relaxation. Overall, my experience at King Corona Cigar Bars And Cafe was nothing short of amazing. With its fantastic cigar and bar selection, comfortable seating options, and friendly staff, it's a place I'll definitely be returning to again and again. If you're looking for the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy a cigar, look no further than King Corona Cigar Bars And Cafe. Highly recommended!

We had a great evening and a couple of good smokes. This place has a very nice atmosphere and good service.

10 STARS!! I found this place on an overnight trip. Just happened to be Krewe of the Knights of Sant' Yago Knight Parade. How lucky was I !!!!! Stopped in while waiting on parade. I was there long enough to smoke two cigars and have a few beers. What a great place with a great vibe. The humidor is large and has a great selection to fit any price range. I opted for a few higher end $40 cigars as a treat (recommended by the humidor staff). Had a great talk as well. Very kind, friendly and accommodating. Will absolutely be back! I'll make a special trip just to visit this place!

We came in just to check out the place and met Jeff the bartender. Jeff is by far the best bartender we have ever met (get him to make you one of his famous coffees) He is fantastic with customers and his bourbon knowledge is impeccable. We would highly recommend this place and the cigars are fantastic. We will for sure be back next time we come to Tampa!!!

Great place to watch a game lots of tvs cigars are priced great and good selection. Very helpful employees. Bartender made an awesome old fashion

Tale helped us find some very nice cigars!! Great friendly atmosphere and friendly staff !!

Great cigar collection. See Jeff at the bar. Made me an amazing coffee cocktail with Nikka coffee grain Japanese whisky. A+ service every time

What a great place in ybor to relax with cigar. Lately, kyle has been here to help me. I don't stick to one brand, I like to move around to different tobaccos. Kyle has been instrumental in my last few visits in helping me find great cigars. He hasn't let me down yet.

If you are looking for a great selection of quality cigars, liquor, or coffee, look no further. There are other solid spots in Ybor City, but King Corona (the place with the Arturo Fuente sign) has a great vibes, great service and ideal seating areas indoors and out. If you only have time for one cigar / coffee / cocktail spot in Ybor, this is it.

Isaac was amazing!! Definitely will be back to visit

Vibes were immaculate here, and everyone was extremely friendly. My man Isaac was knowledgeable about everything cigar related and gave us a great experience. Would definitely come back again!

First time here and Kaylor made it a great experience! She made amazing drinks and was extremely pleasant. I would highly suggest going here.

Kaylor is very attentive and welcoming! The whole staff ensured that my time within the cigar bar was immaculate! Kaylor had great drink suggestions and Kale had all of the cigar recs! Highly recommend

Wow, was I happy to accidentally pop into this place! Kaylor turned my day around and made the best drinks. Very welcoming and knowledgeable - many laughs will be had if you choose to stop here!

Cool vibe, cool people! Kaylor is one of the reasons we keep coming back. Stellar customer service, knows how to make a damn good drink, & a contagious smile. Kaylor is the BEST, and we also love Liberty.

Great place to hang out! Love it

This was the first time in. I went into the cigar shop as a newer cigar smoker, and I needed a little help. Kyle was great in finding something I would enjoy! I definitely recommend the signature Spicy Caramel Latte, very good!

Excellent selection, staff, and atmosphere. Recommended by my tour guide and he couldn't have been more right. Must stop for the guys AND gals!

The beer was cold, the cigars were excellent, but my guy Kyle is more than worth a shout-out to. He's knowledgeable about the trade and is always happy to impart said knowledge to anyone who asks. Always greets me with a friendly smile and an open beer. All around a good time.

Five Stars and a Smooth Smoke: Stellar Service at King Corona Let me preface this by saying I'm a bit of a cigar aficionado. I frequent my fair share of lounges, and finding one with truly exceptional service can be like discovering a hidden gem in a humidor. But that's exactly what I found at King Corona, thanks in large part to the knowledgeable and friendly Kyle. From the moment I walked in, Kyle was there to greet me with a warm smile and a genuine interest in my cigar preferences. He didn't just point me towards the most expensive box on the shelf; he took the time to understand what I was looking for - a full-bodied smoke with a hint of spice to pair with a post-work scotch. His recommendations were spot-on, leading me to a new stick I hadn't tried before, and it quickly became a new favorite. But Kyle's expertise wasn't just about the cigars themselves. He knew the intricacies of each blend, the history of the brands, and even offered helpful tips on cutting and lighting for the perfect burn. He wasn't just a salesperson; he was a cigar educator, passionate about sharing his knowledge and creating a truly enjoyable experience for every customer. Beyond his knowledge, Kyle's customer service was top-notch. He was attentive without being intrusive, always checking in to see if I needed anything. He even struck up a friendly conversation, making me feel like a regular rather than just another face in the crowd. In a world of generic service and cookie-cutter experiences, King Corona stands out thanks to Kyle. He's the kind of employee who elevates a good cigar bar to a great one, someone who makes you want to come back not just for the smokes, but for the warm atmosphere and the feeling of being among friends. So, if you're looking for a truly exceptional cigar experience in Ybor, do yourself a favor and head to King Corona. Ask for Kyle - you won't be disappointed. Five stars all around, with a special shout-out to Kyle for making my visit truly unforgettable. P.S. Be sure to ask Kyle about their hidden gems! He might just surprise you with something special.

Love coming to this place morning and night. Jeff is a great host and makes the beat coffee and at night Kale is the man. Love this place. Masculine cigar bar in the heart of Ybor City and great TVs for sports.

Great atmosphere staff super helpful..

The coffee here is amahzing!! Also had the Turkey and Swiss sandwich, was delicious!

Great coffee, even better cigars and the people who work there are friendly and helpful.

The new management is awful and the cigar patron was insanely rude. I would come here at least once a week when I lived here and come back every time I came back. After my most visit I will never come back

Kyle knows a lot about cigars and will help match you with the cigar you were meant to smoke in that moment. You’ll want to come back for more, and it’ll be a great thing. I’ve been coming here for more than a decade. It’s a landmark, a destination, a place to meet new and interesting people from all walks of life. Enjoy a great cigar, some excellent coffee and, if it’s what you’re into, a great beverage. Liberty makes the best old fashioned in Tampa. Go ahead, challenge me on it.

Top notch place and top notch staff, such as Kyle who provided the upmost respectable service. 10/10 recommend med back again

I really enjoyed this place. Great Cuban breakfast sandwiches. The Cafe Con Leche are delicious. The house cigars are very good smokes. Can't finish this review without mentioning the friendliness and competence of the staff. Especially Jeff. This is the first time I did a Google review. Earlier I mistakenly gave them 1 star but I screwed up. 5 Stars!

Coffee was good but Kyle was better

This is a great place to sit outside and just chill with your cigar. Kyle was very helpful!

My knowledgeable, funny and handsome friend Kyle works here. 5 stars for that reason only.

Kyle was very helpful at selecting a right cigar for me. Environment was nice and clean, not to Smokey and woo tang was playing at a reasonable level

As a new cigar connoisseur, Kyle’s expertise has been extremely valuable in finding cigars I enjoy. He makes the customer experience feel like he has known you for years instead of a first time customer. Go visit Kyle and tell ‘em Dewey sent ya!

My wife and I came in the other day. The atmosphere was welcoming, the drinks were cold, and we had the pleasure of meeting an extremely polite young man. I believe his name was either Kyle or Carl, I’m not sure. But he made our experience an exceptional one, from the moment we walked in. Thank you so much, we will definitely be back!

The guy Kyle in the cigar room is on point, this guy made me look good at my party , know his stuff on cigars !

I came in here not knowing a ton about cigars and the associate Kyle really helped me out. He picked out some great cigars for me and my brother in law that we both enjoyed. He also had great recommendations for Ybor City. I would definitely come back and buy cigars from him.

New to cigars. Kyle really helped me pin down some great choices. Very classy place. Will definitely be back.

Came in the other day. Never smoked cigars before, but Kyle got me hooked. Thank you Kyle.
