50 Best Cafes near South Pasadena

“OK, first let me say I could drink the Greek salad dressing...I must not be the only one because they sell it by the bottle, lol. The Greek salad is amazing they have two types.. and the sandwiches are big.. They also have a bakery section. I tried cheesecake once it was fresh and well made.“

“Met a friend for breakfast, I had a Western Omelette, cooked to perfection, eggs firm throughout but not chewy, peppers and sausage gently cooked, peppers having a little crunch left. Service was excellent. The only reason for the three star Atmosphere was that Keke's is in a strip mall, and although the restaurant is spotless, the view of the parking lot however leaves something to desire (although Keke's can't do anything about it).Vegetarian options: Numerous non meat items.Parking: Lots of spotsWheelchair accessibility: Accessible“

“GREAT FOOD GREAT SERVICE!!We came here for a late breakfast; the Pancakes were super fluffy, and flavored nicely with vanilla. I also ordered “Poseidon’s Omelette” which was amazing as well.Our server, Dana- has some of the best customer service skills I have experienced in any hospitality/restaurant establishment. She checked in with our table numerous times, refilled our drinks and checked in ensuring that our experience was the best it could possibly be.11/10 recommend— all visitors to the area must stop here (AND ASK FOR DANA!!)Vegetarian options: Most food has no meat, easy to remove and make all menu items vegetarian.“

“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.“

“Incredible experience with our family! You must try the Chicken Parm sandwich, Spicy Vincenza sandwich and the basil tea!! It is apparent the owners are there shoulder to shoulder working hard with their team to create a great experience. Come to Apollo Beach please!!“

“You guys know you are the cutest cafe ever! Your presentation is adorable. The quality of the drinks is very high. The coffee is delicious and tastes like real ingredients. I love coming here. Thank you!For holiday drinks, did not have that nauseating artificial or overtly sweet flavor of Starbucks gingerbread latte, and the cranberry fizz was amazing!“

“Had breakfast here, what an absolute Gem! Cute cafe decor, bright and fun with a little kid's area in the back. Fresh delicious food, I had an egg sandwich and Hubs had the burrito, the Green Dragon smoothie was awesome. Gluten free, vegetarian, and all kinds of options.“

“In an already extremely friendly city, I stumbled across this gem run by potentially the nicest, most attentive people I've encountered since I've lived in St. Pete. Their hospitality was matched only by the quality of the breakfast they served me. Not sure I'll got to breakfast anywhere else in town, having had such a terrific experience.“

“By the looks of it, we didn’t think much of the cafe when we walked in. We noticed the counter was small but filled with fresh pastries. The line was long and the tables were pretty filled but it was a Saturday morning. We got a few items to share & then after we finished, we walked around the museum. We expected more coffee options but the cold brew was good! The pastries were delicious. The only thing that would’ve made them better is if they were slightly warmed. Overall a great experience.“

“Johnny is super welcoming as soon as anyone enters into the building. He is also extremely quick when it comes to making teas, and any of the protein items. My go-to combo is his protein donuts and a tea. He knows my order immediately when I walk in, and even when I bring things back for my family, he immediately knows their orders! He is super helpful as well, and I will always come to Ignite on Sundays for pancakes!!! Highly recommended coming after a workout as well!“

“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!“

“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.“

“The food was phenomenal! Seriously one of the best meals I’ve had in months and I’m a foodie! My hubby and I shared the uptown eats breakfast sandwich with cheese grits & a whipped feta plate! Mmmmmm! Coffee was perfect also! Then to top it off we added on a tiramisu cheesecake brownie! Delicious!Kid-friendliness: It has a chill coffee shop vibe. You walk in and order food immediately and it’s made fresh very quickly in the kitchen!“

“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.“

“I went back in December, lovely place great service and food. I tried the croquettas de jamon, an amazing Cuban sandwich, guava pastelito and a mimosa. All made when I ordered. Prices are great for the quality of food. The owner was very kind, told me about the stores history and also gave me great recommendations for other places to try. Now Parking, it's a shared plaza and not huge but should be easy enough to find parking.“

“It was such a a joy to find TeBella when I was on vacation. What an amazing sensory experience to smell the different kinds of tea. The individual who assisted me was very knowledgeable and friendly. I recommend trying the Earl Grey Creme if you like bergamot. It is fabulous.I liked the tea I bought so much that I sent some as birthday gifts to my sister and my best friend. For my sister, I had to make an inquiry online regarding ingredients and found the individual who responded to be very helpful. My sister is very happy with her tea! Thank you TeBella!I will definitely be purchasing more tea from TeBella in the future!“

“This was an unexpected treat coming here, stopped in to try their egg and cheese croissants, they have a great bakery here, so many choices, fresh baked bread, wine, food to go, there is definitely something here for everyone and hands ?? down delicious chocolate chip cannolis! Definitely recommend you get some for there and to take home.“

“My mom recommended Craft Kafe to try while we visited St. Pete and glad we came here! My boyfriend and I just got the basic Craft breakfast sandwich and Iced Chai lattes. The breakfast sandwiches are just WOW, bigger than we expected and very yummy. You can't even tell the bread is gluten-free.The only odd thing about the building is where the ladies bathroom is located, which is to the left after you enter past the walk-in cooler (in case anyone might be wondering ?)Wish we had been in town longer to try their amazing variety of pastries!“

“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.“

“Oh. My. Gosh. We were in town for a reggae festival and this was close to our airbnb. I am Dominican and my partner is American and we both LOVED everything. Ham croquetas were excellent. I had a cortadito (sweet) and my partner had a Cafe con Leche. This place is authentic, people will walk in speaking Spanish to the woman at the counter like they have known her for years. This is an authentic cuban cafeteria. We are looking forward to our next visit to St. Pete to see them again! You should come too - you will not regret it!“

“Melissa is a master at her craft. Her custom beverages are absolutely delicious and this shop has some of the best lattes in all of St Pete. This coffee shop is a gem. Small and quant but lovely atmosphere with a fun quirky aesthetic!!A must go!“

“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!“

“Great little hidden gem here in gulfport. Service is friendly, we got two club sandwiches, one all turkey, an iced tea and two bags of chips for about $18, which is a fantastic price in my book. Breakfast looks good and prices are very fair. I'll definitely be back.“

“This is a second location in the area. This location is a bit smaller, but has all the goodies you'll need while on vacation. I only stopped by here once since we were staying nearer to the other location, but we liked the first one so much we had to check this one out as well. So come try this place out and if you like it be sure to check out the other location just north as well. Both will be a great experience. They have great ice cream choices I got the the salt water taffy as well, but they have all kinds of candy from every decade going way back. I love this place. I can't wait to come back for more.“

“So happy to have a small business coffee shop that I can support right on Gulfport Blvd. It's such a cute little spot, and the drinks and food are on point. Delicious Avocado Toast (with a gluten free bread option) and great matcha lattes that are the perfect afternoon pick me up. Definitely better than any chain places near by in the quality of food/drinks, and the friendly service.“

“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.“

“The breads just smell amazing when you walk in; the pretzels look American but TAST German; the desserts are great. Just went for the first time Saturday and bought Kasenkuchen und Bienenstich for my Aunt and Uncle on Marco Island, yes, quite a ride for coffee and cake! But they loved it. Said it was best they had since moving to Florida 20 years ago. This will be my go to bakery for rolls and breads.“

“Great food, big portions, great prices, and good, honest people. A true gem of a business in this day and age! You’ll spend less here than at any other chain and you’ll be supporting a family business. Which is so important with all the big corporate places taking over and forcing out our traditional, family run Florida gems.“

“Breakfast was affordable and impeccable, very cozy and comfortable place to eat! A little bit of everything for everyone.Only complaint is I also tried the st. Patty's special for 19.99 and only got 3 thin slices of corned beef.... Half a cabbage, 3-4 red potatoes, and a handful of carrots. It was all cooked well and other than the corned beef- unseasoned. Was pretty disappointed!Will go back again for breakfast or lunch but won't be ordering any type of special meal for holidays.Kid-friendliness: Staff seemed helpful and patient for patrons with young kidsWheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp cut in the sidewalk for accessibility, but the doors are push/pull so would need assistance getting into the building“

“All these Kava bars are categorized by Google as restaurants or alcohol bars or coffee shops it seems. So most of the rating questions don’t apply.Having said this, this is my favorite Kava/Kratom bar in the St. Pete/Tampa area. The staff is all very friendly and even more so as you become a regular.It can get busy and sometimes there is a line to wait in during rush hours, but nothing to deter you from coming in. It just means it’s popular and they serve great products.Don’t forget to try Evie’s Bakery items in the display case. All home made by a local. Some are vegan, some are not, but every single thing I have tried has been crazy delicious.There is a lot of free parking right out front which is nice, it’s pet friendly, and vape friendly indoors and cigs allowed outside on the large covered patio area/back yard; also great for friendly dogs.Working remotely here is great if you don’t have to take any calls. There are plenty of outlets, free fast wifi, and quite a bit of seating for laptop users including couches.Each kava tender plays their own selection of music, which helps keep the environment interesting.Note for remote workers only:I do wish they would keep the volume down during business hours, especially the bass. It’s basically impossible to take a business call or zoom meeting without my manager and coworkers asking to repeat myself or asking why it’s so loud where I am. Since the music is loud, the patrons talk much louder which just adds to it. I would suggest business hours have much lower volume, and then around 5pm crank it back up. But that’s just a personal preference as a remote worker. I started going to two other bars more often during work hours. Or just working from home. If you’re not taking/making calls during work, none of the above applies.Overall, I love this place, and have made some good friends here and even reacquainted with some from years ago.I highly recommend their Kratom (not a kava drinker here), and their prices are some of the best around.“

“My friends and I got done watching a show at Tropicana Field and the restaurant was around a 10min walking distance. The menu was definitely a mix of Asian dishes. Enough variety for a group. The Thai tea was nice. The chicken rolls were basically chicken nuggets. It was good but I wouldn't recommend it since it's nothing new. The unagi volcano bomb was delicious! At least 3 slices of eel some shrimp in the crab salad and the thick slices of cucumber added a nice crunch. All the food had great presentation and good portions!! It's a great little place.“

“Every time i come here its amazing food and fast service. Ive never had a bad item from them. I personally recommend both the smoothies and the toasted sandwhiches.Parking: Large parking area nearby but watch out for the speedbumps, low cars beware.“

“The staff were friendly, responsive, and helpful. The coffee and food were delicious and vegetarian and omnivore friendly. I got the special of the day, the hangover cure tempeh burger (sub real egg), and although I typically prefer beef, I thoroughly enjoyed it!They brought out water for our dog as well.We will enjoy again!Dietary restrictions: Dairy-free friendlyKid-friendliness: Has high chairs and our 2yo enjoyed the granola bowl!“

“My wife and I have been frequenting the Green Market since they opened...as they are right across from the gym. After a workout, once a week, we go there for dinner if we get out of the gym early enough. They close at 8 so sometimes we don't make it in time but we always try to make at least one gym day an early day to get there. The food is all custom made and prepared...one of the healthiest options at any restaurant in the area. The meals are filling. Most of the time we end up taking half of our dinner home in a box and have lunch ready for the next day. Their bowls are incredibly healthy and when you are trying to find "fast" food that's healthy, your options are limited. The owners are great...not only remember my wife and I but are always pretty sure they know what we're going to order, they're friendly and they engage in enough conversation to be polite and friendly but not enough to be overbearing. It's a little small inside so you're not going to bring your family there, likely, for a meal but the food is very good and very healthy which makes it a win. I have never had a bad meal there ever.Parking: The trick is to park "behind" the building and use the back door. They have doors in the front which is the side that faces the gym and movie theater and spaces out back which faces the bigger mall stores - that are largely empty at night. LOTS of parking back there but most people tend to try and park up front.“

“Neighborhood was without power for a significant amount of time and I needed a place to work with coffee and food for a few hours. Amazing place - music was on point. Wi-fi perfect. Staff was wonderful. So glad my power went out so I could venture out to this place. I will be back to work there again.“

“Thank you Laurie for helping make some Christmas memories in our household. Not only was the presentation beautiful but the cookies smelled and tasted delicious too. The kids were excited to see cookies in the box. Even more excited when they realized they could paint them. The edible pallets worked perfect. Afterwards the kids said the cookies smelled and tasted delicious. So many thanks. Merry Christmas.“

“First time to this restaurant since being here probably because I didn't know it existed but here it is. Located in s small strip mall there's a small eating area in front with more tables in the back. Sit anywhere with table service which was truly amazing. This guy knows what he's doing and the service was impeccable. Not once did I have to ask for coffee and he did something at the end that almost no server ever does. He offered us refills AFTER we paid the bill. Wow! My standard breakfast was excellent with perfectly cooked over easy eggs and a nice serving of home fries and rye toast. My mates Benedict was perfect. Highly recommend for the discerning taste of the I-love-breakfast-out crowd.“

“"I'd like a breakfast croissant""Would you like turkey, ham or egg in your breakfast croissant?""Yes.""..." ... "You want turkey, ham AND egg in your breakfast croissant?""Yes."....A little while later..."Here's your triple protein breakfast croissant" ? ? ?It was delicious. The cappuccino was also quite good.“

“Wonderfully whimsical artwork from countless artists! Jewelry, ocarinas, tea sets, cutting boards, cups, bowls, trays and sculpture all showcased in a beautifully preserved craftsman style bungalow.Highly recommend!! The next time you're in Grand Central make a point to stop in to the Craftsman House!“

“I went here on Thursday Feb 15. Nice cafe with lot's of seating and small bar area. I had the chicken wrap and it was amazing. I also had the salad and it was so fresh with strawberries, alfalfa sprouts and a bunch of other yummy ingredients. So Good!!! The owner and staff were friendly. The wine is very good also. I will definately be back.“

“First time at Bandit Coffee and had a wonderful experience. My house was being treated for pest control and had to vacate the house with my cat for a few hours. Brought my cat Gigi with me and the staff was fantastic. Gigi especially appreciated all the luvvins. Thank you Bandit and staff for making this such a pleasant experience. Highly recommend!“

“So happy this new place is in the Edge district. Not only crepes but healthy options like avocado toast, salmon salad. Greek & French influences to scratch your Mediterranean itch. Konstantino is the consumate host & chef. If you don't t see what you want he offers a solution ! A wonderful cafe setting outdoors for breakfast, lunch or inside. The playlist is Chill Brasil and the volume is perfect for a conversation.Vegetarian options: Crepes, avocado toast, Greek salad.Dietary restrictions: Konstantinos will work with restrictions. Vegan, healthy options available.Parking: There is free street parking for 2 hours along this part of Central Avenue. It is a walking zone so you may have to park further away. Lots of public transportation available to get here.“

“There is an Asian food district in Pinellas Park, & that drew us to the Moonlight Boba shop. Our goal was to get Vietnamese Coffee with Boba beads. Our drinks were spot on perfect & tasty. Despite the outside appearance being plain & almost uninviting, the inside of the shop was super clean & comfortable. Don't let the outside look scare you away, lol. One of the best parts of our time here was a visit by the owner, Sid. She was full of awesome personality & a delight to converse with. She spent a lot of time visiting with us, which really impressed us. All in all this place was 5 stars all the way.“

“I was in the area for work and needed to grab something quick around where I was at, and this place came up and was very highly rated, and I was very impressed. Everything was freshly made using organic ingredients. I'd definitely come back.“

“The food is delicious with a flare from France. The owner and staff are delightful, happy that you are dining with them. The majority of seating is outside with the view of the gulf =gorgeous! After breakfast go for a walk along the park and pier.“

“Thank you Faith…..Bula kava bar, never disappoints . I typically go to the one on Gulf Boulevard but today I stopped in for an extra hot mocha with almond milk and some whip.. Faith welcomed me with a smile, and made an amazing mocha which I thoroughly enjoyed on my walk on the beach in the rain?“

“I have been a long time customer even before new ownership, and there’s a reason I come back! Coffee is always great, and I recently tried their iced chai tea latte (YUM!) I was craving it a week later, so I had to come back today. EVEN BETTER the second time!!! And the handheld waffle.. with the blueberry syrup.. WOW! talk about drooling. So so good.“

“I ordered online for me and my family, everything was fresh and delicious! Also well priced for what you get, the pasta salad was so good! As well the açaí dessert with meal was delicious, my husband got the carnitas bowl and he enjoyed every bite. Definitely will be ordering again very soon :)“

“This is a regular stop for us, we have been coming here for many years. Typically we are here enjoying their delicious soups and sandwiches for lunch. If we are not here for lunch we will often stop by to partake in their delicious European pastries and coffee drinks. Stop by and check it out for yourself. This place may become a regular destination for you.Parking: There is ample parking on-site and the adjacent parking area.“

“I am practically an ice cream addict. Unfortunately for my waist line....but this was the best I have ever had. Let me say it again - best ever ! And the servings were amazing. 2 scoops on a cone caused commotion on the patio. Go and enjoy!!“
