Their almod croissant is one of the best and also sourdough breads. I ordered a Bear Latte last time I was there and asked for the smallest- how would I know that that was literally a kids size- oh well $5 for an 8oz coffee ? And beware they do charge the 15% tip upfront and whatever you select in yhe screen is additional. I know very easy to get tricked into. And the tables outside were not clean, as well as the cushions. Also I wasnt even being asked if it was here or to go and was given the latte in a togo cup and the croissant in a bag. That was disappointing.

The cinnamon roll was delish and reasonably priced at $10. The ham and cheese croissant, while tasty, was small and ridiculously overpriced at $17.45.

I’m so disappointed by the food quality, taste and presentation of what we received. The cinnamon roll is heated up for “5” minutes as reported by the bakery but it came out mushy, extremely soggy and the entire icing melted into a goopy puddle. Everything tastes extremely sweet like over processed sugar. Also, like someone else mentioned there is an automatic 15% gratuity added to your order (there’s a small sign at the register) they won’t tell you unless you read it yourself but they will also have the screen ask for more tip in case anyone is unaware.

Love Black Bear! Great food, drinks, and outstanding customer service. We are here almost every day for breakfast, if not coffee, when we are in Seaside. Highly recommend the biscuit egg&cheese sandwich and the chocolate croissants. Great morning buns too! While some are put off by the 15% included tip, we are always happy to pay it given how great the service has been, and we are from DC where this is almost a ubiquitous practice in the dining industry. Happy to support this business and their staff — they are worth it!

The Black Bear in Seaside Florida has been one of the joys of our stay on 30A! The food and coffee are consistently outstanding. The staff exceeds our expectations every time we are there. We are greeted with sincere warmth whenever we walk through the door. We are picky, and don't write glowing reviews frequently. However, we can't say enough good things about the Seaside Black Bear. Our thanks to all!

Warning - they add 15% tip but only have a very small sign telling you. It feels like they take advantage of their customers. After we ended up giving them a 35% tip we will not be back. Super dissatisfied with the experience.
Thank you, for the wonderful food, everyone loved it.

The sourdough bread was great. Will return in the future. Wasn’t busy but the service took way too long to buy a loaf. The bread was worth it though.

Unsatisfactory. A small coffee is embarrassingly small!!! Why bother! Never again! Go to Armivida or Modica!Sausage biscuit had a biscuit five times too big for the sausage. $$$$$ ridiculous!Shocking because Bud and Alleys Sunset Bar fab food and great value. Same owner.

Each BBBC location is special in its own way. That certainly includes this one! (New longer kitchen hours after Christmas, but you didn't hear it from me ?)
Lovely spot in 30A!
