Hillcrest Coffee

Hillcrest Coffee is a coffee shop in Lakeland's Dixieland neighborhood, set in a restored 1920s bungalow on Hillcrest Street. It serves locally roasted coffee along with baked goods and small bites from local makers, and it doubles as a venue for art, music and community gatherings.

Thursday evenings bring live music from 6:30 to 9 PM, with local, regional and touring artists playing donation-based shows where all proceeds go to the performers. The shop is open Monday through Friday and Saturday mornings, closed Sundays, and the porch is a popular place to sit. Private events such as meetings, workshops and celebrations can be booked through the website.
