The Lab Coffee - Heights
4304 N Florida Ave, Tampa, FL
Crema's Take
“The Lab Coffee in Heights brings genuine joy to the espresso experience, with a staff that actually seems to love being there and consistently pulls excellent shots that keep people coming back. Beyond the coffee, they've nailed the full picture—creative pastries like jalapeño bagels and steak empanadas with salsa verde, a cool eclectic vibe (complete with Final Fantasy wall art), and that rare quality of feeling like a place where both quick caffeine runs and long conversations are equally welcome.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, with a pour-over program, good cold brew. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu.

Quick service, tasty food, plus a picture of Cloud Strife on the wall. Y'all just got a fan! Steak empanada was excellent with the salsa Verde. Keep up the good work!
Cool vibes. Tried the jalapeños bagel with smear. Very delicious. The lemon pound cake is also good.
