A Davis Islands staple is coming to higher ground.

DI Coffee Bar is set to open its second location in Tampa’s Seminole Heights. The addition to the historic neighborhood comes without an opening date, but there is an address—6114 N Central Ave. in the old Cake Cuties Bakery parcel.

The coffee shop co-founded by Ramon Perez 11 years ago is known for its welcoming, buzzing, cafe and back patio which hosts live music like the famed Friday Night Jazz series.

The shop serves Miami-based Panther Coffee for all of its coffees, from cappuccinos to americanos and everything in between. Included on the menu at the Davis Islands location are all day foods, with variations of the famous Cuban, like the pesto Cuban, and if you love cheese, the Caprese version.

The DI Coffee Bar in Seminole Heights is a welcome addition to a neighborhood  where residents currently flock to Corner Club, Spaddy’s, and the soon-to-have-espresso Jug & Bottle for their caffeine fix.
