“Great place overall. Great selections and good coffee. I do suggest they, and wish they would, have a coffee only line. The lines are often long and those of us just getting coffee could fly thru the line quickly and not have to wait behind food orders.“
“Me and my husband used CaraMel's Bakery for our wedding cake and it was fabulous! We sat down with the baker and chose three different flavors for our cake and showed her a picture of how we'd like the cake. The wedding was a Harry Potter themed wedding and she followed everything in the picture and more! The cake was gorgeous and was truly magical. If you need a cake for your wedding, DO NOT HESITATE to contact CaraMel's Bakery.“
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐I recently had the pleasure of trying Zukie's Key Lime Pie, and I must say it was an absolute delight! Here's why I give it a 5-star rating:1. Flawless Flavor: The key lime flavor was perfectly balanced, not too tart nor too sweet. Each bite was a burst of refreshing citrus goodness.2. Heavenly Texture: The texture of the pie was smooth and creamy, with just the right amount of firmness. It melted in my mouth, leaving me craving for more.3. Crumbly Crust: The crust was a work of art, crumbly yet sturdy enough to hold the delicious filling. It complemented the tanginess of the key lime beautifully.4. Fresh Ingredients: You can taste the quality of the ingredients used in every bite. It's evident that Zukie's Pies takes pride in sourcing the freshest and finest ingredients for their pies.5. Impeccable Presentation: Not only did the pie taste amazing, but it also looked stunning. The vibrant green color of the filling and the whipped cream for a visually appealing treat.Overall, Zukie's Key Lime Pie exceeded my expectations in every aspect. It's the perfect dessert for any occasion, and I highly recommend it to anyone craving a slice of pie.“
“This restaurant is so wonderful! The owners are such great people and the food is beyond delicious!! Being a dessert lover I must admit the desserts are heavenly. Today I tried the Boston Cream Cake and it was the best dessert I think I ever had! It was so fresh that it tasted like it was just made and melted in my mouth!! I just can’t put into words how amazing this restaurant is. I’m kind of afraid to spread this as I don’t want all my favorite things to run out.“
“We're so happy to have found Jerome's Cafe & Bakery. We have been looking for a great French bakery and this is it. The cream chocolate chip croissant is fantastic and if you're eating there get it warmed up. You'll be glad you did. Everything we had was delicious. You can taste the passion of Chef Jerome in everything he creates. Thank you for sharing your love of French baking with the Tampa Bay area Chef Jerome.“
“All around a pleasant experience! We decided to check the place out on a whim and ordered several treats and schnitzel. Everything was delicious and light on the stomach. The service was delightful, and the atmosphere of the bakery was warm. You can taste the love in the cooking. Don’t skip out on visiting Mama G’s if you’re visiting St. pete. Definitely going to be our favorite bakery in the area from now on.“
“Desiree and the Chantilly team are so lovely! My client ordered ten small cakes for their wedding this past weekend... Chantilly did not disappoint! The cakes were beautiful and tasted amazing! Will be recommending to future clients for sure!“
“First time and really loved this place. Helpful staff, fabulous bread and biscotti to die for. I got the peasant loaf and it was delicious, moist and dense but not too dense. They had orange cranberry pistachio biscotti and it was fabulous! I'll be back.“
“This tiny gem of a bakery/breakfast place is worth finding. Tina and her team are non-stop An amazingly calm barista works there, the muffins are tender and tasty, and the egg sandwiches are large and perfectly cooked. We intended to go once and instead went three times in four days.“
“I just found this place and I’m so happy. It’s a local bakery and they make exceptional breads and pastries. I am a croissant snob and theirs are outstanding! So are their baguettes and many different sourdough loaves. They are creative and have different twists on traditional baked goods like Croissant Muffins with different sweet or savory fillings. They have a great traditional cafe too.“
“Went in for breakfast. Food was excellent. Service was great. Very enjoyable experience. Bakery goods look so good. Will definitely be back. Going to try some cookies and brownies next time. Will buy them first because when you leave you are very full and don't want them. Go there you won't be “

“We wanted something unique for our wedding: a tiered flan. Claudia’s Heavenly Cakes and Flans makes the best tasting flan I’ve ever had (all of our guests agreed). Claudia was passionate about the project and the end-product was both beautiful and delicious, and reasonably priced.“

“I absolutely love finding a truly independent locally owned non-tourist trap style restaurant/shop in a tourist area. Everything we ate was super delicious, and the owner was extremely nice. Absolutely worth a stop if you’re in the area.“
“One bite of an Ahvery Bakes cookie will shut your eyes and make you speechless! Yes, life pauses for a moment until the last crumb is gone because GF/V/guilt-free cookies never tasted sooo delicious ? so many cookie flavors, beautiful flowers, and much more in this sweet storefront shared with the amazing Hassell Florist... go treat yourself!!⭐ 5+ stars ⭐“
“I just happened to be driving in the area and decided to try this place. The donuts tasted incredibly good, the egg sandwich was delicious, the service was friendly and inviting and all items were affordable. I’m going back to try more. Highly recommend!“
“My mom and I tried broccoli cheese soup, Philly Cheesesteak pie, Green Chile Chicken pie, peach pie & guava pie and all were delicious! Valerie even included a corn muffin with the soup. Met Valerie and her nephew and both were so nice. We’ll definitely be back! There’s really only one table to sit at so it’s more of a to go spot. Valerie also makes all her jams & jellies & cookies & some other snacks that looked good.“
“The new cinnamon rolls are really good. I mean REALLY good. I am not a sweets person, but I do like an occasional treat every now and then that is not sugary sweet. The cinnamon rolls are sweet, but the sweetness is balanced perfectly with the savory and rich strong butter flavor. The cinnamon taste is not overwhelming. The dough itself is fluffy and layered almost like a croissant. Normal cinnamon roll dough can be thick and tough. It wasn't like that at all. Great treat and perfect recipe! Well done, Cake Affection.“
“Always busy - for a reason: the food is amazing, the coffee is divine, and service is efficient.Dietary restrictions: Everything is gluten free. EVERYTHING. Heaven for those of us who have to scour other menus for the one or two items we can eat.“
“Best little Greek cafe/bakery/restaurant in Clearwater!! The gyro meat is fresh! Awesome special: 2 gyros w fries & salad for $19.99!! Their bread is soooo soft! Loved the chicken lemon rice soup! They have a multitude of gourmet SANDWICHES too! Check out this special lil mom n pop’s Business! Support Local! Try something different today! I highly recommend Mano’s!“
“This place is a collection of piled up junk, a bloated menu, and dust balls in every corner...and it's exactly what we want on the Guilf strip. Unlike every other cafe on the road that is drowned out by its muted grays and wannabe Crate and Barrel decor, this place is unique. Though they could use a thorough sweep through to fix things (ie don't sit under the first awning bc it's about to collapse and kill someone) it's an enjoyable place.Skip the sandwich options - there is zero flavor in any of them - but dive into their baked goods. All drinks get a solid thumbs up.Parking is ample but the locals sometimes take spots that they shouldn't so consider walking if you can.Service is hit or miss; sometimes they're nice, other times they're walking zombies. I wish they were more engaged with customers to solidify that local "small business" vibe.Overall, I recommend this cafe over any other on the strip!“

“Amazing local coffee roaster in Belleair Bluffs that we came across on vacation! Our iced lattes were wonderful with good oat milk, espresso, and lavender syrup. I grabbed a really soft butter croissant that I loved and took another for later. We got fast service and the shop has a big open layout with versatile indoor and outdoor seating, with bar seats, four tops and cozy couches. There’s easy parking since coffee shop is in a little shopping strip with a big lot.“
“Sunshine bakery is a wholesale bakery with limited public hours. Get there early, very early, or call ahead for your order because these delicious donuts will sell fast.Don't plan on sitting inside the bakery enjoying a cup of hot coffee with your donut because, once again, this is a wholesale bakery. There is no indoor dining.All of the donuts are very tasty. However, I did order some Boston Cream Donuts, which, by the way, are my favorite, but the chocolate frosting on top was hard like chocolate crackle. I took one bite, and the whole chocolate topping shattered and fell off the donut. How bizarre and disappointing to see my beloved Boston Cream donut completely naked and uncovered.Still, aside from that, I'll be back, and I'll try another Boston Cream. Hopefully, this first Boston Cream experience was an anomaly.I loved the sourcream glazed donut, the coconut glazed donut, lemon filled, blueberry glazed, and the apple fritter.All of the chocolate donut types were just ok, definitely not chocolate tasting enough for me.Prepare to pay about $8 for a half-dozen and $15 for a full dozen.IMPORTANT: This is a cash only business!“
“In December, they prepared my birthday cake, an Italian. Cassata Cake. I’ve had this cake many times and from many places through the years. Nowhere, at no time, has a better cake been made! It was the best ever! Then, we went there for brunch. Again, everything from the cozy (very French) ambiance to the exquisite pastry to the fantastic coffee(and I know my coffee) was delicious and delightful!“
“I came in wanting a cake for a birthday. I worked with Riley, she was very very personable and sweet! The service was wonderful and I will definitely be coming back for more!I've always loved these cakes so they've never disappointed me.“
“I was in Clearwater visiting family and they brought me to your bakery. I was so enchanted. You had the best baked goods I have ever had. I had a slice of your Pineapple cake with sponge cake, pineapples, coconut and cream, a piece of strawberry cream cake, with sponge cake, strawberries and cream, and your churros. We went to your bakery 3 times while I was there. Whenever I come back to Florida, I will come back to your bakery. It's one of my favorite places in Florida.“
“Good for special occasions! I love the giant cookie concept, overall. I don't necessarily care for the price. For me, the cookie is almost too cake-like. They aren't crunchy, but aren't gooey either. If someone bought me one I would eat it again, but I don't anticipate buying more for myself.“
“Picked this spot since they have a variety of different coffee and flavors to choose from!! Customer service was top notch, my friend have mistakenly choose the wrong drink and they fix it with no problem and with a positive attitude!! I would highly recommend to anyone in the area looking for some quick “
“It's not Paris, it's Indian Rocks Beach. It's not the Boulevard Saint-Germain, it's Gulf Bulevard. But it's the closest you can get to both without a plane ticket. Nice bakery items, tasty café fare, and friendly service.Parking: Parking can be scarce. Your best strategy is to be lucky. Very lucky.“
