A New Local Favorite in a Classic Tampa Neighborhood

Seminole Heights, one of Tampa Bay’s most walkable and creative neighborhoods, just got even better. Tucked into a charming spot on N Central Avenue, DI Coffee Bar has quietly become the top coffee destination in the area — and for good reason.

Born out of the success of its Davis Islands location, DI’s second shop has quickly won over Seminole Heights locals with its easygoing vibe, Cuban espresso classics, and perfectly baked pastries. From sunlit mornings to casual afternoon hangs, DI Coffee Bar has carved out its place as the single best coffee shop in Seminole Heights.
