Royal Diaspora Coffee Opens St. Pete Pop-Up

Royal Diaspora Coffee, a Tampa-based roaster, has opened a temporary pop-up location in St. Petersburg. The shop operates out of Delicious Interactive Wine Bar at 420 22nd St. S. and will continue through next weekend.

The pop-up is open Thursday through Sunday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The menu features lattes, matcha drinks, and breakfast items, including a bacon, egg, and cheese croissant served with house-made honey butter.

The company now focuses on pop-up events and collaborations after closing its E. Busch Boulevard storefront in Tampa. Royal Diaspora Coffee also partnered with Real Brandon Social to produce bottled drinks, such as Sweet Potato Pie Latte and Brown Sugar Latte, available at pickup points across Tampa Bay.
