“Stopped in recently for boba--they have a large menu of boba smoothies, all of which can also be ordered not blended. These are the best boba drinks in the area! Boba tasted fresh, had a good texture, and the drinks were so good. Will be returning.“
“We've lived in the area for 12 years and just discovered this place a couple of weeks ago. We've been there twice now. They're located off the beaten path. It's a little shack with a tiki bar that sits on the water. They have a casual, laid-back vibe and really good bands. Yes, the people at the bar can be boisterous, but that's part of the charm. Most importantly, they have good food and drinks at reasonable prices.“
“It smells when you walk in, but it's clean. I didn't like you walk through the outside seating with people smiling to get in. Big draw back for people who have asthma. They have lots of TV's. They had sports and movies on. Our waitress was great. She was always walking by asking if we needed anything and refilling our tea. She was extremely busy, but could handle her load. She was upbeat with a good personality. I have OCD, so when they brought us our silverware and it's pulled out of the holder sitting at the hostess desk it grossed me out. I'm so glad I carry my own silverware when going out to eat. The food was good. We had onion rings and mozzarella cheese for appetizers. My dish was chicken, broccoli and a salad. My husband had blackened white fish with veggies. It was all delicious. They have a variety of options to choose from on the menu. We will be going back to try the wings. I do recommend trying Beef O' Brady's out. It's family friendly, but also had a bar section.“
“We had carry out. One order was fairly burnt chickichurra (?), potatoes too. The order looked so unappealing, I was glad it wasn't mine. That said, I had the quinoa power bowl w chicken and it was delish. We were given no plasticware and no napkins, tho I admit, I did not ask.“
“This was our first time dining at Aroma Indian restaurant. The manager, Manoj, greeted us when we arrived and was very helpful when we had questions about the menu. I had the lamb korma and my boyfriend had chicken tiki masala. Both dishes were excellently prepared and cooked to order. It was a great experience and will be coming back soon. Good luck Manoj in managing this nice restaurant.“
“The only problem with this fantastic little eatery/cafe/bar is once you go, everything else pales in comparison. My wife, Jane, and I have vacationed in Dunedin the past two years and having discovered this place, can't seem to stop frequenting it - like almost every second day. It's kind of embarrassing but we love it so much. The menu is small but every choice is absolutely fresh and delicious. Every meal is so satisfying for not only taste but the ingredients also suggest that you ate well. And healthy. Nina and Graham are the loving, hard-working owners who genuinely take the time to say hello, smile and ask how you are. Christine and Molly are also of the same ilk; attentive, friendly and keen to make your experience memorable. Highly recommended.“
“Finally! A dairy-free ice cream shop for those of us who are lactose intolerant! The people who work there are very nice and friendly, the ice cream is delicious! Such a wonderful treat!Vegetarian options: They have dairy-free ice cream and it is delicious!“

“Stella was absolutely amazing and helpful for my first of many experiences to follow. She absolutely puts in the effort to show her customer service skills, even including two sample donuts while we waited for our order to be put together. 36 donuts was more than we expected, but our eyes were bigger than our stomachs. Thank you so much for this great experience. We will be back!!!“
“The locals at HOB recommended this place for the best grouper sandwich around - and they weren’t wrong! I had the Buffalo grouper sandwich and my wife had the blackened grouper sandwich. Both were phenomenal. Best seafood we had on our 10 day vacation hands down.“
“The food at Pisces is excellent and fresh. Pisces is one of our favorite sushi restaurants in the area. They are on the more expensive side but the restaurant serves quality foods in a nice restaurant. They are in a great location that has a large parking lot right behind the restaurant. You should make reservations especially during peak snowbird season!!“
“Absolutely amazing, quality kratom. I've been brewing for a long time, and their super indo is perfectly euphoric and energetic, the powder was rich and fresh, a wonderfully stellar brew came from my kilo and from the first few sips I felt that beautiful buzz. The customer service and knowledge of the people behind it was refreshing and I couldn't have asked for a better place (and price) and I will be buying my powder from here from now on. Highly recommended.“
“This place had the best food on our trip! Quality and flavor were excellent. 1/2lb burgers cooked to order. Stuffed Jalapeños were perfect! Their food was so good I was compelled to order dessert. I would give 10 stars if it was an option.“
“Love the food here and the outdoor seating is awesome. My tablemates thought inside was a bit noisy - I didn't notice. Cobb salad good1/19/24 Bbq slider yumOnion soup mehMango cole slaw tiny side portion but good4/9/24. Ali Tuna Cobb - pretty goodParking: Some parking right by the building (required valet?) but a lot more just a few doors down. All free.“
“Wow! This place is a hidden gym. Stephanie deserves outstanding recognition, I come from NYC and never found an authentic ice cream shoppe like this one. Dairy free options are delicious as well. If you are in the Tampa Bay Area please support her!Dietary restrictions: Vegan options and Dairy Free.Kid-friendliness: Every kid loves ice cream.“
“FANTASTIC brewery!! Nick, my partner, and I are constantly looking for a place to indulge in good sour beer and this is it! If you're looking for goses, sours or fruited beer this is the place to go. We had 2 different flights with a total of 8 different beer and liked just about every one of them. We're even planning on getting us a crowler so we can take that one home with us. Best sours in FL from what we can find so far! Highly recommend.“
“We love this place! Every Friday night it’s our “go to” for take out pizza. Alyssa is always multi-tasking like crazy, but so efficient and friendly! All the food they serve looks great, happy diners! What a pleasure to have this gem in our neighborhood!“
“This a total family operated restaurant. Father cooks, mother expedites and sons waite. Food is all prepared fresh from scratch and is authenic! I have tried most dishes and all are very good but I especially enjoy the fish Tacos. Great place and great family.Vegetarian options: not a vegetarian so can't comment“
“Café Vino Tinto has given me some of the sweetest memories over the last couple of years. It is mine and my co-workers favorite place to celebrate, say goodbye, or go to when we're having a bad day because the food & staff will always make our day 10x better! The baristas are a joy and if I am struggling with picking what to drink, they always come through with great picks! The outdoor patio seating is serene and very aesthetic. You MUST try the breakfast burrito!! I dream about it. It's really THAT good. The waffles are super gourmet, and each bite is decadent. I recommend the tiramisu or the banana & pecan. If you are not into coffee, I recommend a blueberry lemonade. It is perfectly sweet and tart. I can never leave without getting a strawberry or blueberry danish when they are available or in season. They are made from scratch and there is love in every single bite. Please stop by this cafe if you're ever in the Safety Harbor area -- you won't regret it!“
“My wife loves this place. Although there's always a line and they're a little slower due to hand tamping the expressos, the coffee is outstanding. Great atmosphere. Place is always super clean. Prices are along the same lines as every other place. She's been stopping here every morning for coffee during our vacation.“
“Wow! This pizza ? the blackened chicken ? wings and the KNOTS had so much flavor! Really impressed! Our group loved all of it ?I ordered three pizzas (buffalo chicken ranch, pepperoni and sausage) two orders of garlic knots and 20 blackened chicken wings and 2 - 2 liters for a group of eight college age guys youCool place serving the locals!I have to say it was my first time walking in there I was sad when I walked in, and no one really greeted our acknowledged me for a bit, so I just checked out the cool decor, and eventually sat at the bar and got greetedThese guys work hard! They got all that food out to me super quick just in time for my meeting ?Pretty cool that they have been serving families in Largo since 1992! That is no small feat!Thank you guys we will be back!“
“Had a very nice breakfast lunch at this Cafe in downtown Safety Harbor between Main St and Whimsyland. Primarily outside dining (most under cover) and some indoor dining. Met the owner, who is also the chef. He comes out and greets customers after finishing plating meals to make sure we are satisfied. The ladies restroom was very clean and functional. I enjoyed both my meal and the vibe.“
Coffee Shops • $
“EDIT: manager reached out and apologized for the mishap and communication breakdown; she assured me she would work on improving mobile/online order processes. Updated my stars to reflect my willingness to try them out again.Placed an order for pick-up since time was limited. Ordered coffee, smoothie and açaí bowl. There was a large line of people placing orders, and one staff assisting them. I arrived 20 mins after placing my order. There was no sign of food waiting for pick-up, so I tried to get the attention of one of many staff working—all appeared to be very busy, no eye contact even acknowledging me waiting in the pick-up area. After 5 mins I asked the one taking the orders if I was in the right spot—she said yes. Ok, so I wait a few more mins. They are busy—that’s cool. About 10 mins later, they call my name for my coffee and hand it to me. I figure the rest of my food (the smoothie and the bowl will be out momentarily. Another 10 mins go by and I’m getting anxious. I have to stop someone rushing by to inquire about the rest of my order. She finds the smoothie right away (it been ready for awhile sitting in their fridge) but she tells me they didn’t get the acai order. ??? I pull up the order in my email and it’s there. Meanwhile she has to ask a manager about it. She comes back and says they are out of açaí and couldn’t call me because they didn’t have my number. (My phone number was in my email receipt.) Things happen, I get that. But I wasted so much time because they didn’t acknowledge the out of stock item (and hand me the smoothie when they gave me the coffee. Seems like everyone is busy, but there is a lack of communication between stations. Just very disappointing. Won’t be back soon. And I hope I get the refund for the açaí bowl as promised.“
“Stopped here for dinner while in town for the weekend. Service was great, and food was delicious! I had salmon and pork tenderloin. Always nervous when ordering salmon because it gets overcooked so easily but this was by far the best piece I’ve had in a while when dining out! They also had live music!“
“I have not been to Safety Harbor in a very long time. I had no reason to. It has Changed quite a bit since I Became the Arch Bishop of Saint Louis. I fell upon all the places that are bars, just everywhere.I stopped when I seen this place ,Called Bassano Cheese Cake Cafe. With a holiday theme and the best wait staff I've ever seen. They know what they are doing.I met the Owners Cynthia and Thomas. Very family friendly and organized. I started to think of My Big Brother Mario, who flew to New York and drove to Yonkers just for Cheese Cake. Thank you for the meal and memories.I had the steak breakfast burrito, waffles and the Irish man Cheese Cake. With an orange blossom tea sweetened. The burrito was just the right size and I sensed something different than usual. Maybe allspice or just nut meg ; it was wonder filled and I looked forward to the next bite as I ate. The waffles were crispy on the outside with a slight char ,that nailed a perfectly prepared meal. The Irishman Cheese Cake was awesome and the Irish cream whipped cream made every bite worth the the trip to Safety Harbor.So, if your ever within distance stop in ask for Hazel the best waitress I ever met. She had the best manners and Candor.Always making sure I was Satisfied .Bravo a very well done . You deserve a 9.9 all day.Sincerely,SK“
“In the heart of the city's vibrant thrum,Lies a haven for the soul, as blenders scream, a melody hummed.Escape Root Juicers, a name whispered like lore,Where nature's nectar flows, and spirits soar.Barefooted patrons, like daisies, they stand,In a dance with the earth, hand in hand.Their love for the greens, kale, and spinach blend,In smoothies so lush, on them, they depend.Each sip a chorus of flavors so pure,In this juicery, wellness is the cure.Here, our calm natured friends gather in joyful array,Sipping the essence of life in their play.Escape Root Juicers, a mystical sight,Where every smoothie is a delight.In this corner of the world, so free and so wise,The shoeless wander, with stars in their eyes.They find solace and joy in each nourishing taste,In this haven of health, no drop goes to waste.Within these walls, while blenders pulverize, a tranquil vibe resides,Within a sanctuary where serenity abides.Soft, comfy couches in abundance lay,Inviting relaxation, a hippies hideaway.In this cocoon of calm, time gently flows,Cushioned seats cradle, as the quiet grows.A haven of softness in a world so loud,Escape Root Juicers, a peaceful cloud.So come and partake in this magical brew,Where the earth's loving touch is waiting for you.At Escape Root Juicers, you'll find what you seek,A moment with kale or perhaps lemongrass, a moment with love a moment with peace.“
“I've lived in Clearwater forever and have gone past the Rumba for years. It wasn't until my long time friend wanted to do a birthday lunch and told me to pick the place. We had Sangria 2 for 1, with fried grouper bites, excellent! Lightly battered, not greasy, yum. Then we had the barbecue pork with sauce on the side, so good. Our waiter Jarred was the best, we weren't sure of the sauce we wanted he brought us two small samples. We had slaw and black beans on the side. Our afternoon was the best, good food, and great service. Thanks Jarred for your suggestions, personality, and prompt service throughout our lunch, it made for a memorable birthday.“
“My favorite place for subs was a deli in St. Pete. But this place gives them a run for their money, and right in my own neighborhood no less! Their mouth-watering slow smoked meats are a real game changer, even compared to Boar's Head. But what pushes a sandwich spot over the top is the bread. Rocky Mountain gets their bread from Giovanni's, a local bakery and a must for any North County contender. The tri tip is a carnivore's dream, but one bite of the turkey sub with the house 'Bama sauce and you'll hear the trumpets of the angels of rapture ? And you must try their homemade soups! Fast, friendly service.“
“Beautiful garden area. My son and I stopped in on a whim and split a burger . We will definitely be back. Delicious beer too! On a side note my son has special needs. He is usually ignored by wait staff but not here. Everyone was genuinely friendly, the owner addressed my son specifically and said “goodbye sir” .“
“March 2024. Drove to Dunedin to get some walking done along their Main Street district pre-sunrise. Looked up a few coffee shops along the way but it seemed most didn’t open until 8am. I Just happened to wander by TuKro and thought it was a private house without curtains l. Was pleasantly surprised to see that they were just opening. Now the sun is up and time to move on…“
“(Dairy free Pescatarian) LOVE this place!! ? I had the 4 bowl with coconut ginger rice, sweet potato noodles, herb roasted salmon, spicy chick peas, and the coconut siracha sauce and I would definitely do it again. This place does it right, kudos!“
“I only live up the street & I hadn’t yet been here before. I’ve been wanting to stop by & this was the first time I’d had a chance to stop in & try their Caffè Affogato. They use a local Amish vanilla ice cream from Yoder that is amazing!Dietary restrictions: Gluten Free“
“Atmosphere is terrific, just pleasant and casually elegant. The entire area here in Safety Harbor should be on your list.I had the The “PB&B (Peanut butter bacon burger) and it was as good as folks had told me it would be. I wouldn’t order it again because I’m not a sweet food kinda guy. My dinner companion had the “Speakcheesey” and it lived up to its name!Been told the Old fashion was a must so I ordered “1919” smoked. Come to the area, take some time, have dinner, enjoy this place and call it an evening.“
“My son and I went to Nona's last night for dinner. It was a rainy Wednesday evening and they were packed. We waited about 30 minutes for our table, not bad. Our server was Cheyanne and she was awesome! Excellent customer service and what a big bubbly personality she had. It was very enjoyable to have her as our server. Will definitely ask for her again.“
“I was extremely happy with my catering order for 10 people. All of the trays were hot, labeled and packed securely. I appreciated the inclusion of places, napkins, utensils and condiment packets. I would recommend both dining in and catering. The portions are large and the food is well-seasoned. Breakfast can be bland but Another Broken Egg Cafe does it better than most. Great place!Kid-friendliness: There is indoor and outdoor seating depending on how rowdy the kids are, or if you prefer ample room around your table.Wheelchair accessibility: There is handicap parking directly across from the front doors and a ramp from the parking lot to the doors is wheelchair accessible. The restaurant itself has no steps, but the tables are extremely close and aisles would not fit a wheelchair without prior notice. Even walking, I had to turn sideways to squeeze through the dining room to the restroom.“
“We had the pleasure of walking into Southie Coffee and we were in heaven the minute we were in the restaurant! The awesome staff made us feel so welcome and the food and coffee was incredible! They are pet friendly and Benny gives it 5 stars!! We always strive to support local businesses and Southie Coffee is one we will definitely support on a regular basis. We highly recommend Southie Coffee!!“
“Decent selection of mostly sweeter meads at the time, 5 or 6 stills, 4 sessions. Other offerings included house draft soda, 2 guest beer taps, and a solid selection of cans. Good service, the owners seemed like nice chill people.Meads were all good, a little complex for my taste but all done well at a fair price for the offerings.“
“A Lemonade stand in a converted boxcar you ask? Sure! Lol cool, funky concept. They have many options like limeade, sugar free Stevia syrup, and more.Pretzel was just ok, beverages were tasty and refreshing. Enjoyed the throwback background music playing.Shannon, who took my order, was fun, and friendly! Thank you! There's an outdoor seating area facing a bike and pedestrian path. You gotta check this place out! One of many unique, cool, artsy, funky experiences here in Dunedin!“
“I was privileged to try his double espresso. It is very, very fresh, with a huge crema, wonderful aroma and complex but smooth and fruity flavor. It’s a blend of Ethiopian yirgacheffe, Columbian and Brazilian beans, roasted to medium at exactly a peak of 450 degrees and then immediately cooled so they do not over cook. Wow! Five stars!How this can be only be $12.99 a pound? The quality and price blew me away.But then there is the shop. It’s a massive art gallery with multiple rooms and every inch covered with art, mostly Picasso prints! I kid you not! You have to explore this place, on one of the only three days a week Mario is open!He has no employees. He has no imitators. He has no helpers. He has his own passion for coffee and art. He has his desire for coffee perfection! He spends most of his week roasting small batches rather than opening the shop.Life is great with a unique passion for perfection! Thanks Mario!“
“Our waitress seemed a bit overwhelmed with the crowd of patrons. Maybe hire another person? I ordered a half order of biscuits and gravy. It was delicious but a little too much pepper. I'd rather add my own, than to have it served with that much on it. My husband enjoyed his omelette. It was a cool little restaurant as far as appearance.“
“How can you not love a local brewery whose owners are originally from OH-I-O?!Great beer selection that evolves throughout the year. Seltzers and ciders are in the menu too.Friendly patrons, a cool beertender who goes by Burger and plenty of seating and games to keep you entertained.*Like much of Dunedin, this is a dog friendly establishment!“
“Fireside is a nice, cozy place to enjoy your pizza or pasta dish. I had gotten fettuccine Alfredo, my lady penne pasta and our son a pizza. My boy is three, and ate all of the pizza minus two slices. It was an 10" pizza.The food was excellent. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. If y'all are near Omaha and Main street in Palm Harbor, y'all have got to try Fireside Pizza Cafe out. 10 ☆s“
“I went there with my family for the first time as my son did a tour upstairs of the building and it was so good we came back today! The breakfast special was our favorite. And Dan is super nice. My son loved talking to him and he was very kind to him. We will definitely need to come back again soon! Thank you for your service, Dan!“
“Spectacular food! Really tastes like Louisiana po'boys. I had the fried shrimp po'boys with a side of red beans and rice. The sandwich was deliciously fried shrimp with a remoulade sauce lettuce/tomato/pickles. The smoky rich beans and rice is a perfect accompaniment. I will definitely return to try some different flavors. All the seating is outdoors and there aren't too many seats but they neatly packaged my order to go. Highly recommend!“

Thank you, Nolan, for providing such exceptional customer service and for being a true professional in every sense of the word.“
“One of our local favorites! From the owners behind the bar to the friendly patrons and OH the food and beer cooler!!!!! You can’t go wrong stopping in for a sandwich, salad or pizzette!!Vegetarian options: You can make most items vegetarian as everything is custom made.Parking: Plenty of parking behind the building“
“We've done it ! Found the one! We know in our GUTS ( which is never wrong ) we've found our sammich mates! There is such thing as soul food mates!!Their only downside is now I have to come once a week so they have to see mine and hubby's face.I can't get past my addiction to the midnight cuban!!If you have any taste buds at all you should probably zoom on over like I've zoomed in on this detailed muffoletto!!!( So the weaker eyed folks can taste with their eyes!!If you like jamming they got one amazing sammich with delicious mean and jam on some dank bread too!!!The veggies are also our favorite part!!!Dietary restrictions: Don't diet ? I know it's for people who can't actually have certain things. But resting sucks(Sorry)“
“This is a fabulous spot for lunch, brunch or lunch. Great omelets and eggs benedict - home fries are delicious and cooked perfectly and huge portions. Good coffee and excellent service and very reasonable pricing.Love this place (also the one in Pinellas Park but the Largo restaurant is bigger and newer).Highly recommend.“
“Finally made it to Brighter Days. They have 18 beers on tap today and there is something for everyone. My son had the So Fresh n' So Clean sour and hubby and I had Festbier. We beat the rush by about 5 minutes but it wasn't overly crowded. It's right off of the trail in a neighborhood in Tarpon Springs. We will be back when we're in Tarpon again.“
“Grateful I stumbled on this place. First off, the service is top-notch. They are constantly checking on you. The food was so fresh and really good, and yes they have more than grits. But I do recommend you order the grits. They are really good. I definitely recommend you check this place out.“

“Chef J.G. and Myra are phenomenal people! Great community-active, family run business with 5-star brunch review from us! Thanks to Angel for seating us and Linda for serving us. Breakfast all day AND lunch... in addition they have the most scrumptious selection of sinful baked goods (brownies, cakes, candies, cookies) the flan, banana bread pudding, chocolate chip brownies, chocolate cheesecake and lemon merengue pie had me at hello today! Looking for a place for coffee they have it: espresso, affogato, lattes, shakes and more! Delicioso!“
