What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"This was our first time at La Segunda, and it did not disappoint! We found it on Google a few months ago and said that if we ever made it to Tampa, we had to stop by — and wow, we’re so glad we did. The food is amazing, especially the Cuban sandwich. We’ve tried Cuban sandwiches all over the East Coast, and none come close to this one on the West Coast. We loved it so much we ordered ten to take home! We will definitely be back. Thank you!"
"One of my favorite bakeries in Tampa, and this is the original location that’s been around for a long while. It’s got such a nice feel to it, from the vintage industrial building to the Havana feel inside. What I come back here for again and again is the Cuban toast. I get it with guava and wow is it delightful. But they have tons of baked goods and a few meal items to choose from. I’ve enjoyed everything I’ve tried here. You can get coffee too but it’s very standard stuff- black coffee, or latte with 3 flavors choices. Many people also come to get bread loafs to have at home, and it is so worth the wait if it’s busy. Parking can get a little tricky but trust me that this is a prime Tampa experience to try La Segunda."
"La Segunda Bakery and Cafe is an absolute Tampa classic and a must-visit spot. Incredible Cuban bread baked fresh daily, amazing sandwiches, pastries, and coffee that never disappoint. Everything is fresh, flavorful, and made with care. The atmosphere is authentic, the staff is friendly and efficient, and it’s always a great place to grab breakfast, lunch, or coffee with friends or coworkers. A true staple in the community and one of the best bakeries and cafes in Tampa. Highly recommend if you’re looking for authentic Cuban food, fresh baked bread, and a local spot that’s been doing it right for generations."
"Any place that thrives for 110 years is on to something right. But what is that "right" thing? To me, for this group of bakeries, it's the most incredible bread I've ever had on a Cuban sandwich. The pork tends to be pulled rather than sliced, the secret sauce which appears to be a mixture including mustard and mayo is excellent, the perfect thin slice of Genoa salami as is customary in the Tampa cubans, etc., but it's the bread. While I didn't have any of the pastries it certainly looks like they know what they're doing in that arena too. There are lots of great Cuban sandwiches and this is certainly among the top. Wishing them another hundred years."
"This place was humming right along. The food cases looked like you would want 1 of everything. We did get a Cuban and a few other pastries to go. The Cuban was wonderful with no flavors over powering another. My wife was only going to have a bite or 2 and she ate the other half of the sandwich. I would definately go back, plan ahead as to what you may want."
"Online ordering was user friendly. Food was ready when we got there even though tons of people were already there. They had a separate line for online paid..."
