“I have been wanting to go to one of these places ever since my favorite bingsu place closed down in Tampa after Covid. It's really hard to find this type of shaved ice. The texture is just right. Soft, melts in your mouth. The flavor is subtle and not overly sweet and the toppings aren't overwhelming but compliment the shaved ice well. I got the halo-halo which is very reminiscent of the dessert and Mexican candy which was spicy, sour, and tangy. Both different flavor profiles, probably on the opposite spectrum, but both very delicious! I'm looking forward to the one opening close to Brandon in Bloomingdale really soon! The inside was also very nice with penguin motifs.“
“Service was very friendly, maybe a little slow to refill, but that could have just been a one off. Food is highly priced, but makes up for it in taste. The portion size was average & what you’d expect. Large parking lot, so parking was not an issue. Based off the price alone this isn’t somewhere I would frequently visit, but for some special occasions I will.“
“We have now been here a few times and no matter what we order we have never had a bad meal or service! I’m very picky when it comes to my Italian food, as my grandparents came from Sicily. Everything we have tried is so full of flavor and tastes fresh! So glad we happened upon this spot as it is one of our favorites!“
“We always make sure to stop at Badfins Food + Brew every time we go to Clearwater. The food is very tasty and love to try many of the different local craft beer selections. Jessica, our server was great, knowledgeable and friendly when we had questions for her. Can’t wait to go back on our next Clearwater vacation. Highly recommend!“
“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.“
“A wonderful little gem is Buona Ristorante. While on vacation, my family and I were searching for a nice location to eat, and this restaurant immediately came highly recommended! Due to the establishment's popularity, there was a wait, but the food was excellent. Diana, the restaurant's owner, was amazing and incredibly amiable. We ate the pizza, which was delicious! However, there are plenty of meat and pasta dishes. The prices are really fair. All things considered, this was one of our favorite restaurants that we visited while on vacation. Without a doubt, we'll return. And lastly, the tiramisu was incredible. Fernando served as our waiter as well, and he did an excellent job of serving us. Enjoy!!“
“Upon arrival we had to wait about 30 minutes for a table. Once our table was ready and we placed our order our food came out super fast! We were in and out of there faster than the time it took to get seated. Our waitress was very friendly and speedy! I ordered the 2x2 breakfast.“
“Had some "snow" (also known as bingsoo) after a show at Tropicana field. They had some great, creative flavors. Since it's handmade, you can expect to wait a little, especially if it's busy, but our stuff came out quickly and was delicious.“
“Excellent local sandwich shop off the normal traffic path. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. They offer a large variety of half and full subs. Each sub is unique in the flavors it brings together. The atmosphere is festive and you can sit alone or share a larger table. For those looking for something more healthy they have a nice selection of salads. Stop by and enjoy a great lunch at Gateway Subs.“

“It was a pleasant experience.The server was attentive and nice.The food was good and came with proper timing.Overall, I would definitely be back!Parking: It was located about a block away in a vacant lot reserved for the restaurant customers only.“
“Some of the best kombucha you can find in the country without a doubt. This is kombucha worth traveling across state lines for. A welcoming atmosphere with an emphasis on keeping things local or in-season whenever possible. Incredibly balanced and clean kombucha that lets you appreciate the flavors they chose to brew with. Complex at times but never overly sweet or abrasive. While I live out of state and was just passing through for a few days, I will definitely be back whenever I'm nearby in the future. Bring your kombucha-hesitant friends and let them see how kombucha is supposed to taste.“
“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.“
“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.“
“This is a keeper! I've driven past it hundreds of times. Went in today for a fried fish basket. I was not disappointed. Everything was delicious, the fries were crisp, the coleslaw was cold and fresh, the tarter sauce tangy, and the fish were perfect! The batter was crisp, but not overwhelming and just the right thickness. I'll be back!“
“Crystal was lovely. The interior was lovely. The food was good, but a bit lackluster.Spring rolls and golden wontons were reminiscent of the Asian buffet I went to growing up….in a nostalgic way that I enjoyed. A bit oily, a bit bland, but warm and comforting.“
“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.“
“It doesn’t look like much as your approaching the place,But this is a DO NOT MISS! I walked over from the rental @8pm to check it out, to my surprise the line was out the door! The line moved quickly and I won’t miss the ice cream next time! I ordered the Tampa Cuban and the Chicken Pesto Cuban suggested by the friendly cashier! The Tampa Cuban was layered with fresh roast pork, ham, Genoa, Swiss and sauce, did I mention the bread??? The Fresh Roast Pork and the homemade sauce pressed to perfection! The Chicken Pesto was delicious, simple with bacon cheese and pesto!Two 6’ Cubans with 2free bags ofchips for just 20$! Simply the Best Cuban I’ve ever had!!!Side note as I walked the beach at 7am on a Sunday, I could already smell the aromas of the pork roasting! I’ll be back for sure!“
“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.“
“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!“
“First time visiting OCC. There to celebrate a birthday. Reserved a table online (fast and easy) and we were seated upon arrival. Our server was the ever popular Capt. (?) Tim. He was very professional and friendly, but also had us laughing and feeling like family by the end of the night. The food was delish!!!! Prices were very reasonable. Looking forward to coming back. Hopefully Tim will be our server again.“

“Went in on a random Sunday for the pizza. Highly recommend, it’s delicious. Joe, Amanda & Olivia (even when she’s not smiling) are fantastic beertenders. The place is also owned by a veteran, so make sure to buy a vet a beer as they keep the count on the wall for Veteran’s Day. One of my favorite watering holes. Parking is also a breeze.“
Ice Cream Shop • $$
“I’ve been to Bright Ice several times, and I’ve loved it each and every time! The staff lets you have samples of any flavor of their ice cream. I joke around with my wife, my family, and my friends, that this is the best ice cream shop in the world. In all seriousness, it probably is the best ice cream shop in St Pete.Parking: Parking lot is to the side of the shop.Kid-friendliness: Kids are welcome. It has a family friendly atmosphere.Wheelchair accessibility: There are no stairs to climb in order to go from the parking lot to the shop.“
“Second time here,the first time was a Saturday and service was great they had a few workers and everything was great. Today on a Monday 2 workers they seemed very overwhelmed but very kind and kept apologizing to everyone. Obviously they need more then two workers. People are on vacation even on Mondays. One guy waited pry 20 minutes for his iced coffee. My cold brew wasn’t even a full cup $5.50. Still good and I’ll still come again but I sure hope management makes a change and gives the two girls working this morning 5/22 @ 10 am a bonus as they are working hard and the line is going out the door, some are leaving. To top it off the bathroom is out of order.“

“The food was great, the cookies came out fresh, and the hot fudge came out warm. The chocolate chip cookie with the old-fashioned vanilla ice cream really tasted well together. The lady was very kind, helping us choose what flavors we wanted.“
“I'm not new to Pinellas ale works. This is probably one of the most dog friendly brewery/ place in Tampa bay. I mean their acronym is PAW. They've got a large selection of their OWN beer which most breweries lack. Definitely get a flight or two. This time we got the sour raspberry pucker pup and peach Harold's lager. Both delicious if you're into gose's or lagers. The vibe is quite chill I mean why would you bring your pup somewhere it isn't. If you're looking for great beer and cool spot to bring your dog definitely come here. Cool thing if you bring your dog they've got a jar of milk bone snacks on every table.“
“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.“
“The Chelesa St Pete makes a great latte and espresso. The espresso is rich and full body. That great espresso makes for a great latte.The place is too cluttered to me. But that's just my preference. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating.“
“Warm and friendly coffee house with a great wine and beer selection, and delicious handcrafted food and desserts. Also a big supporter of local live music, with local talent several nights a week! Top notch open mic on Wednesday evenings, and featured performers on weekends. Check them out!!!“
“Fun laid back bar with friendly staff and customers. Made an out of towner feel right at home. Bartender John gave great recommendations on where to visit to get an authentic downtown St Pete experience and the spots did not disappoint. Will be back next time I'm in St Pete for sure!“
“Absolutely outstanding food! The service was impeccable and the entertainment from Charity was just beyond fantastic, Charity played the piano and violin with both popular and original music. Can’t wait to come back. A “well oiled machine” this restaurant was flawless. Thank you all including the servers for a memorable evening. ?????“
“Roe’s catered my backyard wedding Saturday night. Really can’t praise them enough. Exquisite food, delicious desserts and all their staff added special touches throughout the evening. Highly recommend for anyone wanting an event that is above and beyond. Well done and thank you.“
“We hired them for our Annual Party and they were awesome. Great communication, showed up early, and the food was terrific! I can't wait to go downtown on my own and try some of their other delicious food selections. We would definitely use them again. Thanks again for making our party great!“
“Sweet Brewnette is such a cute coffee shop. The line was super long, but went SO fast. The employees are all so nice and helpful. We got lattes, waffles, and a muffin and it was all so good. Everything tasted fresh. Perfect start to the day.“
“I stayed very close to this location and visited this location about four times. The location is clean friendly and has an amazing environment. Each time I ordered beers shrimp tacos and churros. Highly recommend this place thanks for the great service and awesome food. JM Toronto, “
“I happened to be in the Saint Pete area and friends took me to VIP For lunch. The food was great and the margaritas were amazing! I can’t wait to go back there next time I’m in the area!Parking: There’s a few free parking spots, but most of them you have to pay for whether it’s in the lot or on the street.“
“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“
“Having now been to eight St. Pete breweries, I can say this one is by far the best. From the variety in selection, to the quality, to the atmosphere, you can't go wrong. If I had to pick one negative it's that you feel like an assembly line when you order but I think it's because they're used to such high traffic, they have to be efficient.“
“One of my favorite breweries on St Pete Beach! They have an amazing selection of beers and always seem to have something new. The Made coffee stout is hands down my favorite.Their food truck out front kicks out some great food. I love the Mahi sliders but it all good.Parking: Or there’s usually park on the street right next to the brewery“
“One of the best bars on St. Pete beach! Great atmosphere, amazing martinis, great selection of liquor and cocktails! Small food menu to satisfy the cravings from charcuterie board to hot dogs! Not a dive bar but more of a cozy place to hang out with friends, meet new people or watch some sports! Needless to say bartenders are the best! Local gem ?“
“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!!“
“First time visiting this brewery and I must say I've been to alot of breweries and this place made me feel like a regular, the staff were friendly and for a small batch brewery they definitely have something for everyone from IPA's to Sours and Ciders to everything in between. We didn't have any food as we had just ate and to our surprise they were having a music bingo night which I thought was pretty cool. So if your looking for a nice down home brewery feel but near the beach this is a great place to stop into. My hats off to the wait staff for being so friendly that is a plus in my book and if I'm ever in the area again I'm definitely coming back....???“

“We had Happy’s as a vendor for our wedding and it was literally perfect. One of the most friendly vendor that we worked with. We had another vendor set up for dessert but the business had sold without our knowledge till shortly before our big day. Happy’s team was very quick to respond and step into place. Also - the ice cream was 10/10 and was enjoyed by everyone! I can’t wait to travel back into town and grab some ice cream to re live a small moment of our day.“
“*UPDATE: I've gone here since this place opened and I have been through numerous owners of addicted to the bean. The product is still very good and their coffee is just great, however their service just is not good anymore. It is spring break here, and they have two espresso machines in there but the second one is not being used and they just cannot handle the volume. Today I had to leave because I just simply didn't have any more time to wait.This has happened to me a number of times lately, so I believe my addicted to the bean days are over. Sad to say.One of my favorite places to go. The product is great and the people are awesome.“
“A full blown date night restaurant in my opinion—delicious food, friendly service. Full bar and drink selection. We had appetizers, burger/entree, dessert and everything we ordered was great. What I like since their reopening is that it is less cafe and more full dining. I am not a vegan, and all of the alternative ingredients used tasted great and I did not feel like I was missing out on any flavor based on the absence of animal products. The parking was easy, they brought us a high chair, and my toddler was thrilled with the side Mac and cheese (he is extremely picky). They also have changing stations in the bathroom for little ones. Looking forward to coming back to try brunch!“
“Absolutely loved my lunch experience at Casita Taqueria in the heart of St. Petersburg's vibrant Grand Central District! The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, with friendly staff making me feel right at home. The tacos were simply delicious - bursting with flavor and freshness, and the variety of toppings and salsas provided the perfect kick. Highly recommend trying their homemade chips and guac too - so tasty!Marisa Balletti-Lavoie“
“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!“
“Like this place much better than the Twistee Treat before it. Got a sundae and it was huge! The kids enjoyed their cookie monster ice cream too even though it was a huge mess of blue to clean up! Just know that a small cup is way too big for a toddler. They have big portions here! Cute atmosphere and nice touch adding corn hole for families to play. A little pricey for some things, but they more than make up for it with quality and serving size! Great addition to the area!“
