DAVIS ISLANDS COFFEE BAR Boasted on a sign outside the establishment as the “2nd Best Cuban Sandwich in Tampa” (by who, is unclear), I would have to agree that DI Coffee Bar serves up a quality Cuban sandwich! While less loaded than the Tampa cubanos I am used to, the sandwich consists of a quality Cuban bread, oozy cheese, and even ratio of mayo to mustard. Unless it is roast pork, I prefer all of the meats on my Cuban sandwiches to be even and thin-sliced so as not to overwhelm the other ingredients. If you visit this spot, expect an even layered sandwich with quality ingredients - and be sure to pair it with a classic cafe con leche while you’re at it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/683bc0bec2fe8538b6e1e442/3212f6cb-e3e4-47eb-b4d6-3dc59453a6eb/IMG_1478.JPEG Blog - Top 5 Cuban Sandwiches in Tampa, Florida - 1. WEST TAMPA SANDWICH SHOP If you’re from Tampa, you know the best Cuban sandwich in town is found at West Tampa Sandwich Shop. With doors open for over 30 years, this small neighborhood shop is known for their famous Cuban sandwich - namely, the one that adds lettuce and tomato to the traditional sandwich before being pressed with a brush of honey over the bread. This is fondly referred to as the “Obama Cuban”, as former President Barack Obama ordered it this way during a visit to the shop in 2012. Former President Obama is just one of many notable figures, politicians and neighbors who have visited the shop over the years — just check out the photo-covered walls. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/683bc0bec2fe8538b6e1e442/5a3d5efa-239e-4364-b9cb-2f659f67b2e5/Columbia-Cuban-Sandwich.jpg Blog - Top 5 Cuban Sandwiches in Tampa, Florida - 3. THE COLUMBIA RESTAURANT The Columbia is the oldest restaurant in all of Florida, serving up Spanish eats and a rich history since 1905. Known well for their arroz con pollo and Cuban sandwiches, this historic restaurant’s original restaurant resides in historic Ybor City. You can also visit the Columbia Cafe inside the Tampa Bay History Center or their location in St. Augustine, FL (the oldest city in the United States!). Be sure to try the famous tableside 1905 salad while you are there! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/683bc0bec2fe8538b6e1e442/dc74ba74-e4f8-4ac8-9f12-9b10f92df075/IMG_4610.jpg Blog - Top 5 Cuban Sandwiches in Tampa, Florida - 2. FLAN FACTORY Warm hospitality, great Cuban eats and hilarious staff T-shirts is what I know this spot for. Originally drawn in by the dozens of flan flavors, the roast pork in their El Tampeño Cuban sandwich stole my heart and moved the sandwich into the #2 spot on my list. I always enjoy the El Tampeño Cuban when I visit, but some other favorites among friends and family are the ham croquetas, timba and Cuban fried rice. https://www.cravingswithkatrina.com/blog/allelo-st-pete-florida monthly 0.5 2025-07-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/683bc0bec2fe8538b6e1e442/1748747507768-9TVSXNDDG8ZR9SBA0UDB/Allelo.JPEG Blog - A Culinary Gem Where Exquisite Flavors Converge in St. Pete, FL Complimentary pintxos at the bar accompanied by the “Bay Got Me Sippin’” cocktail. https://www.cravingswithkatrina.com/blog/everything-i-ate-at-michelin-starred-restaurant-rocca-in-tampa-florida monthly 0.5 2025-07-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/683bc0bec2fe8538b6e1e442/8bc8531a-9140-4cf8-9b63-0b02d52bdf94/IMG_8933.JPEG Blog - Everything I Ate at MICHELIN-Starred Restaurant, Rocca, in Tampa, FL - AGNOLOTTI Filled with a soft salame cabrese ricotta and topped with cherry tomatoes and garlic breadcrumbs, this is one of the top dishes I have enjoyed here. Initially, I was unsure what to expect from the salame cabrese filling but the flavors both inside and outside the agnolotti all melded together incredibly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/683bc0bec2fe8538b6e1e442/3ca0a990-e44b-42a6-8414-02f51a689c31/IMG_8948.JPEG Blog - Everything I Ate at MICHELIN-Starred Restaurant, Rocca, in Tampa, FL - BIRTHDAY GELATO Another fun on-the-house surprise from Rocca! Since I was celebrating my birthday, they brought out this delightful not-too-sweet scoop of gelato with the perfect texture, crumbly topping and birthday candle accompaniment. And I’ll just say it — as much as I appreciate a hand-signed card, restaurants that do dessert for birthdays will always be higher on my list! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/683bc0bec2fe8538b6e1e442/ac776523-96a9-4d6e-ac54-0e24ce2916e9/IMG_8905.JPEG Blog - Everything I Ate at MICHELIN-Starred Restaurant, Rocca, in Tampa, FL - GARDEN GROVE COCKTAIL A delightful mezcal-based cocktail topped with egg white foam. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/683bc0bec2fe8538b6e1e442/68b8e626-55b8-418f-ab39-2abbe5fe699b/IMG_8922.JPEG Blog - Everything I Ate at MICHELIN-Starred Restaurant, Rocca, in Tampa, FL - HOUSEMADE BREAD Served with lemon butter and sea salt, this bread plate offers up two pieces each of Rocca’s house-made focaccia and sourdough. I can only assume they did not intend for the sourdough to be so toasty, but I thought maybe there was something I was missing… so we tried it anyway. The inside was soft and supple but it ultimately did not make up for the char. The focaccia was tasty but nothing remarkable. Overall, I would skip this next time, especially at the $8 price point. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/683bc0bec2fe8538b6e1e442/04928d09-af47-462e-9374-9ca9e297cc3a/IMG_8907.JPEG Blog - Everything I Ate at MICHELIN-Starred Restaurant, Rocca, in Tampa, FL - COMPLIMENTARY GRANA PADANO CHEESE The only thing I like more than cheese is FREE cheese. It was Grana Padano (similar to Parmesan). They have done this both times I have dined here so I am assuming it is standard, not a surprise perk. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/683bc0bec2fe8538b6e1e442/c63fd553-6585-4202-b361-3124f9077a71/IMG_8925.JPEG Blog - Everything I Ate at MICHELIN-Starred Restaurant, Rocca, in Tampa, FL - SPAGHETTI AL LIMONE The #1 dish I have enjoyed here! Ribboned with spiralized zucchini and chock full of fresh blue crab, the bright lemon flavor really shone through this dish and the spaghetti had a wonderful bite. I would truly order this ten times over. https://www.cravingswithkatrina.com/blog/the-oldest-house-and-hotel-in-orlando monthly 0.5 2025-07-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/683bc0bec2fe8538b6e1e442/1751683900003-7GS3Q6YPULTT34F4YICJ/IMG_8689.JPEG Blog - The Oldest House & Hotel in Orlando, FL https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/683bc0bec2fe8538b6e1e442/1751683887155-W927KV34SO1WQ9958YUD/IMG_8683.JPEG Blog - The Oldest House & Hotel in Orlando, FL https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/683bc0bec2fe8538b6e1e442/1751683894070-8B08BVI8NXIX8LQ0TMQN/IMG_8684.JPEG Blog - The Oldest House & Hotel in Orlando, FL https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/683bc0bec2fe8538b6e1e442/1751683886735-I52Q8S0GH7QNWGIBIM0Z/IMG_8682.JPEG Blog - The Oldest House & Hotel in Orlando, FL https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/683bc0bec2fe8538b6e1e442/1751684018968-D0AO2WKM33SJEQZE07AM/IMG_8624.JPEG Blog - The Oldest House & Hotel in Orlando, FL https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/683bc0bec2fe8538b6e1e442/1751683866274-96FT2O9P4MIJ4SFU79WH/IMG_8626.JPEG Blog - The Oldest House & Hotel in Orlando, FL https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/683bc0bec2fe8538b6e1e442/1751684075919-CPTWQBVOXYCLKALHPLBM/IMG_8634.JPEG Blog - The Oldest House & Hotel in Orlando, FL https://www.cravingswithkatrina.com/blog/3-cant-miss-activities-at-the-florida-aquarium monthly 0.5 2025-07-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/683bc0bec2fe8538b6e1e442/1751684726211-CYG0MNFZKFYK7Z3NGQKU/unsplash-image-O4fNMrRcgzY.jpg Blog - 3 Can’t-Miss Activities at The Florida Aquarium - Wild Dolphin Cruise Enjoy a cruise along the waters of Tampa Bay amongst native wildlife like various bird species, bottlenose dolphins and more!
