“Brittini and Mimi are the best! Such friendly servers and delicious food. Reasonable prices too. The fried green tomato BLT is incredible. We all said it was the best BLT we ever had. A+ would recommend this place if you’re staying at the RumFish. Great breakfast and lunch.“

“It’s fine. A little pricey but if you’re staying at The Don, it’s a very convenient and suitable option for any meal. The Red Snapper was surprisingly good and a good sized portion. If you order the Ceasar salad, get the dressing on the side as it’s very flavorful.“

“Trendy Café with Very Good Food It was a rainy Saturday morning and the place was busy. No one could use the outdoor tables, so it was crowded inside. Nevertheless, things moved along quickly and we got our order in and got a table. The staff members were all very pleasant and helpful. The atmosphere was fun and lively. The coffee was very good. For food a Jam-on-It Sandwich which was quite nice. We also had a berry yogurt bowl. The yogurt was delicious and the fruit and granola on it were great. The scone we got, nicely warmed, was delicious. I’ll return, but I’ll try for a dry weekday.“

“Candy Kitchen is always one of our first stops every time we come to Redington Shores. It’s like stepping into a nostalgic time warp with all the retro candy and old-school toys. The ice cream is also delicious — perfect for a beach day treat. Highly recommend making it a must-do on your trip!“

“Come for the ambiance. Stay for the food and drinks.

We enjoyed this lovely restaurant with another couple. The location is downtown St Petersburg. The restaurant is beautifully appointed. We ate on the porch. The service was good. Parking is available in the adjacent parking lot. The bar is well stocked. We enjoyed several unique apps including the arancini, truffle and cheese in phyllo and the tuna. All fresh and tasty. Don’t sleep on the bread and butter. It’s a must have. We all enjoyed various entrees. Snapper, pork chop, filet all were well prepared and scrumptious. Dessert did not disappoint nor did the after dinner cocktails. Port wine and expresó martinis were on point. I would recommend and will return.“

“Tucked into a modest strip mall near 49th and 22nd in Gulfport, Jax In & Out Café is one of those rare places that feeds your soul as much as your appetite. I ordered the Reuben with homemade potato salad—both made completely from scratch—and you can taste the care in every bite. The owner is a true original: a Woodstock-attending hippie with a photo on the wall to prove it and a heart as big as her portions. When she’s not cooking for customers, she’s giving back—preparing meals for the homeless and stocking an on-site food pantry for those in need. This isn’t just a café. It’s a reminder of what community, kindness, and real food are supposed to feel like. Jax In & Out is the kind of place you don’t just visit once—you tell people about it.“

“I currently live in Jacksonville. Whenever I come back to St Pete, my trip always consists of Spiro's homemade Spanikopita, pasta salad and chicken Lemon soup. The staff is friendly and always service with a 😊.“

“We had trouble finding reasonably priced, freshly roasted beans in St. Pete and reached out. Adam is the best. He provided first class service and responses for someone who was just grabbing two bags. I even went to shop to check out the process and he was extremely nice. If you need reasonably priced, freshly roasted beans in St. Pete, look no further.“

“Incredibly kind employees, and I have to say, the people who come here are really classy and nice! It makes me want to come back just to socialize. You don't find people working hard and being kind like this anymore lately.I recommend their coffee and every special I've had of theirs is incredible.. but so is basically everything I've tried!“

“Hiring Frank and his Creative Catering team for my event was the BEST decision. I had a Halloween party with approximately 30 guests with a “freaky tiki” luau theme. He helped create a menu that went with the theme. He arrived promptly and set up all of the food efficiently. The food was absolutely incredible - people are still talking about how good it was a week later. His pricing is extremely reasonable, and the quality of the food is SPOT ON. I’m definitely using his company for all future events.“

“Love the food and people especially Taylor. It is my go to place.“

“delicious food and nice service.“

“This was one of the best meals, and definitely the best breakfast we had in the Clearwater-Treasure Island-St Pete Beach area. We almost never go back to places more than once when we travel because we want to try different places, but we went back to Corner Kitchen twice! They have music on weekends, a nice chill outdoor courtyard with couches and cornhole and a fun, coffee house vibe. Smoothies were great, lattes hit the spot and the breakfast BLT was fantastic! They do take out pretty quickly too if you have late sleepers. Friendly and fun staff.“

“We have always appreciated the family atmosphere, the Manager on the front end & the deli staff. What we were taken aback with was your new cashier. We purchased plenty with you recently, and while adding our phone number as she requested, she grew impatient with my spouse because he is slower then she expected. Everyone is kind there except this individual.“

“Our favorite coffee in St Pete! We always get oat milk cappuccinos and they miss it every time. We love all their pastries as well, they're just as good as regular pastries if not better!“

“You will have the best breakfast you have ever had. Every forkful is as delicious as the first. I had the breakfast burrito and it was so delicious. I can’t wait to go back and try the avocado toast, because what they did with that burrito I can only imagine how delicious the avocado toast is.“

“Tried this place for the first time today with my husband. We live just up the road in Gulfport and I have to say I don't think either of us have had a better cup of coffee anywhere. I highly recommend trying it out! The service was quick and cheerful.“

“I’ve been coming to The Craftsman House for years, and their food and service has been unfailingly great. I love looking at their beautiful and unusual art pieces and have been to and enjoyed a few concerts there. It’s such a cozy and intimate and fun place. I’ve found the people who work there to be friendly and professional. The owner is a really smart and personable guy who has been in St. Petersburg for a long time. It’s always a pleasure to chat with him about the artists and interesting things going on in St. Petersburg.“

“Everything made from scratch! Amazing place and people! I will definitely be back many many times ❤️“
