When hunger strikes, the temptation to hit the drive-thru can be automatic. But when you choose a local spot to fulfill your cravings instead, you’re opting for a truly satisfying experience that goes beyond convenience. Skip the pre-packaged sandwich and treat yourself to something fresh, handmade, and bursting with flavor. We’ve been serving Tampa Bay since 1915, and each sandwich, pastry, and cup of coffee is infused with more than a century of history. That rich legacy ensures every bite is not just a meal, but a connection to our roots and the heart of the community. Whether you’re enjoying one of our signature Cuban sandwiches or a sweet pastry, you’re getting something you can’t get from a drive-thru window—food made with care and tradition.
Taste the Handmade Difference
When you go through the drive-thru, there’s no telling what kind of (frozen) food you might get. We take pride in the quality of our food, and that starts with our handmade pastries and bread. Every pastry is baked fresh in-house daily, ensuring you’re getting the highest-quality, most flavorful treats in every bite. Our guava turnovers, for example, are crafted from scratch with flaky, buttery dough and filled with sweet, tangy guava—perfectly balanced for a delightful breakfast treat. Paired with our fresh, handmade Cuban bread, our breakfast sandwiches are another local favorite. Whether you’re craving a classic bacon, egg, and cheese or maybe something with a little avocado, every bite is made with the same attention to detail and passion that has defined our bakery for generations. The difference is clear: when it’s made by hand, it just tastes better.
Cuban Coffee Makes Everything Better
There’s nothing quite like the experience of enjoying a fresh, made-to-order breakfast paired with a rich, flavorful cup of coffee. We take pride in serving locally roasted coffee that’s the perfect complement to our handcrafted sandwiches and pastries. Our award-winning Cuban coffee is your perfect companion—smooth, flavorful, and full of character. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite or relaxing with friends, you can enjoy a fresh, authentic meal and coffee that reflects the spirit of our community. Our Cuban coffee adds a sense of warmth and comfort to your meal. It’s the kind of coffee that makes you want to stay just a little longer, chat with a friend, or catch up with the familiar faces around you. Every cup is prepared with care, and it’s that attention to detail that elevates your visit, transforming an ordinary breakfast into something memorable. Our coffee isn’t just a drink—it’s an experience, perfectly complementing our food and making your visit even more memorable.
Be Part of the La Segunda Family
Our bakery isn’t just a place to grab a bite, it’s a place where people come together. For 50 years, our very own Sheila became a beloved part of this community, building relationships with customers who became more like family. It’s not just about serving food—it’s about connecting with the people you serve and sharing in the daily rituals that make life special. When you come to La Segunda, you’re not just a customer, you’re part of a tradition that’s been thriving in Tampa for over 100 years. You’ll see familiar faces, hear stories, and feel the warmth of a community that’s built around great food and even better company.
