For a while, The Lab has produced mouthwatering bagels made fresh every day. Well, now, we can expect a whole lot more. With the introduction of a brand new bakery, customers can enjoy fresh pastries, cookies, sweet loaves, turnovers and more, in addition to their always-popular burritos, empanadas, and bagels. For someone like me who likes to work from coffee shops, this adds a whole new dimension (and some more crumbs on my keyboard).<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"449643\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"Front of The Lab Coffee in Tampa\" class=\"wp-image-449643\" data-lazy- data-lazy- data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/522279549_18413970778100401_4585249943723168333_n-1024x576.jpg\"\/><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"449643\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/522279549_18413970778100401_4585249943723168333_n-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Front of The Lab Coffee in Tampa\" class=\"wp-image-449643\"  \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"769\" data-id=\"449647\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"Empanadas at The Lab Coffee in Tampa\" class=\"wp-image-449647\" data-lazy- data-lazy- data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/669914858_18459569671100401_8884105582614850248_n-1024x769.jpeg\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"769\" data-id=\"449647\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/669914858_18459569671100401_8884105582614850248_n-1024x769.jpeg\" alt=\"Empanadas at The Lab Coffee in Tampa\" class=\"wp-image-449647\"  \/><br \/>\nPhotos via The Lab Coffee<\/p>\n<p>The Lab Coffee has humble beginnings. Started by three friends all from the Tampa area, The Lab began in a rented spare room in a small building. Now, the brand has multiple locations and a dedicated following. And whatever they do next, we\u2019ll be tuned in.<\/p>\n<p>With a location in West Tampa and one in <a href=\"https:\/\/thatssotampa.com\/the-lab-coffee-seminole-heights\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Seminole Heights<\/a>, The Lab Coffee has been one of those places ideal for remote workers, quick coffee grabs, and bagel cravings. Now, with more baked goods available, the Lab Coffee continues to grow and evolve. Their baked treats are available in both locations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cVery cute spot \u2013 coffee was high quality, empanadas and pastries were amazing, service was exceptional!\u201d A reviewer wrote online.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Lab was highly recommended by coffee enthusiasts, and I can see why,\u201d another Yelp reviewer wrote. \u201cThey were pulling shots of a lighter roasted single origin bean, and the espresso was tremendous. The shop was busy, but the wait was short and comfortable. Vibes were great, and this was the best coffee we had on our trip through Florida. I can\u2019t wait to return, and I\u2019m planning to order some beans online to brew at home.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"819\" data-id=\"449645\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"New bakery at The Lab Coffee in Tampa\" class=\"wp-image-449645\" data-lazy- data-lazy- data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/the-lab-1024x819.jpg\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"819\" data-id=\"449645\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/the-lab-1024x819.jpg\" alt=\"New bakery at The Lab Coffee in Tampa\" class=\"wp-image-449645\"  \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"819\" data-id=\"449644\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"Bagels at The Lab Coffee in Tampa\" class=\"wp-image-449644\" data-lazy- data-lazy- data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/the-lab-bagal-1024x819.jpg\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"819\" data-id=\"449644\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/the-lab-bagal-1024x819.jpg\" alt=\"Bagels at The Lab Coffee in Tampa\" class=\"wp-image-449644\"  \/><br \/>\nPhotos via The Lab Coffee<\/p>\n<p>For those who really enjoy the quality of their coffee, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelabcoffee.com\/beans\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">buy it directly from their site<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>You can also stay up to date with their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/thelabcoffeetampa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>West Tampa location: 1703 W State St, Tampa, FL 33606, United States\u00a0<br \/>Seminole Heights location: 4304 N Florida Ave, Tampa, FL 33603, United States\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Lab Coffee is a Tampa staple for devoted coffee goers, and they just opened a brand new&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":266508,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[135,137,136],"class_list":["post-266507","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tampa","tag-tampa","tag-tampa-headlines","tag-tampa-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/266507","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=266507"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/266507\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/266508"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=266507"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=266507"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=266507"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
