35 Best Cafes in St. Petersburg

“First time here since it opened, and what a delight. We sat out on the porch near the water which made it nice. Our server was on point, the food was very fresh for what I could order. So many things I wanted to try, but with a seafood allergy and they use the same fryer for everything that was a little disappointing but nothing I'm not used to. Got the blackened chicken sandwich and that was so tasty. I couldn't eat the fries because of the allergy but my friend didn't mind taking it 😜 also the trufflekoptia... Didn't think I was going to like the honey, I was mistaken!! Delish!!🤤 Of course you have to try the cocktail menu also, very unique and tasty!“

“I highly recommend Botava excellent customer service !!!!!!“

“Visiting City’s Bistro is like going back home. The food is always beautifully fresh and delicious. The restaurant is incredibly clean. The icing on this cupcake is the people!!!

There isn’t a bad menu item and they have the BEST coffee in town, hands down!“

“What a delight!

I accidentally found this spot today downtown. At first, I was apprehensive because I didn't know what any of the food options were,however, I decided to try it anyway. .

I ordered vegetable strudel with a side salad, filly aware that this could go one of 2 ways.

Once the food was infant of me, I had absolutely no idea what o was eating... maybe mushroom and spinach inside a cheesy pastry

To say the least is Beyonce amazing.
The service was very kind. However, the inside was a bit small and seemed cluttered and t hey. Didn't have a big menu to choose from.

Outside looks at a city intersection and was peaceful.

All in all, you've got a new customer!

Hats tto the chef, Thank you for the delicious food ?“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“This place is the best kept secret! Excellent food, excellent customer service and excellent prices!. Everything is made to order- by the owners. St Pete take advantage of free hospital valet parking and enjoy a delicious meal! (Better than fighting downtown traffic and parking).
