Patrona Coastal Cafe

$40 for two subpar coffees and some toast & a cinnamon roll is crazy. Atmosphere/scenery is cool but the rest of the experience was lackluster

I love everything about this place. My Cuban sandwich was not the best, a bit dry with the bread overcooked. The other food was good. The view and atmosphere was fantastic and I will go back. I would have loved a burger but they only cook medium well or well done. I order medium rare burgers and most places are fine with that. I don't know if the meet quality is poor that it has to be overcooked?

Vacay vibes with a side of coffee. Super cute beachy coffee spot sharing the location with The Getaway on Gandy. Coffee is delicious and they have light breakfast bites. Friend had the croissant sandwich and I had the quiche both very delish but the view and atmosphere is what keeps us returning.

Okay, I’ll start by saying that I’m a relatively easy person to please when it comes to places like this one. A decent cup of coffee and edible food is enough for me. That being said, here’s my review.

My daughter saw a favorable post about this place on TikTok and thought it was cute so we went. My wife found a table while my daughter and I waited in line to order. It took awhile but we finally placed our order and were given a disk that would vibrate when the order was ready for us to pick it up at the counter. Fine. All’s well. After about twenty minutes the disk vibrates so we go to the truck/trailer in which the food is made to pick up our order (three croissant breakfast sandwiches, two iced coffees and a hot macchiato.) the food was ready but the drinks weren’t. My daughter took the food to the table and I waited for the drinks to come out. I’m 6’3” so I’m able to see into the truck…it’s utter chaos and not too sanitary (garbage overflowing the bins and the counters were a mess of spilt coffee and food debris), there were plated food orders just sitting there with no one calling them out. After 10-15 minutes I asked the girl who seemed to be in charge if my drinks were ready. She was very nice and explained that they were backed up, so I told her I was going back to my table so I could eat my food while it was hot and would she please buzz me when the drinks were ready. She kindly agreed.

I returned to the table and had the sandwich. It was clearly microwaved, which left the croissant slightly limp and soggy, and the egg was in disk form and crumbly so I’m sure it was a pre made, microwaveable food, and the sausage smelt of the grease it was “cooked” in. So, we finish our sandwiches and the buzzer never buzzed so we went to the truck to pick up our coffee in the way out. We get there and it’s still not ready! While I’m trying to find the girl in charge the buzzer goes off and a very frazzled girl kinda throws our order at us.

I can’t describe how bad my macchiato was, but suffice to say that I threw it away after a couple of sips. My wife and daughter’s iced coffee were okay enough to drink.

So, for $70 we had the privilege of having to scrounge for a table, wait way too long for the order to come out, eat mediocre microwaved food, and be tardily served, undrinkable coffee.Fantastic. I avoid chain restaurants but there’s something to be said for First Watch.

Weird location but nice waterside seating. Very expensive for what you get, some precooked egg patties on a croissant is about $17, waited so long for coffee orders that we had finished eating and were leaving by the time they were ready. Staff is a little overwhelmed and abrupt.

Don't waste your time over a 30 min wait for 2 coffees.

Such a cute coffee spot right by the water with a laid-back tiki vibe. The cashier was super friendly and upbeat, which set a great tone right away.

The coffee menu is full of creative options, so it was hard to choose. We went with the Coffee Cake Iced Latte and the Samoa Cookie Iced Latte. Both were delicious and perfectly refreshing/sweet. Loved that some of the ice cubes were actually made of coffee, so the drinks stayed strong instead of getting watered down in the Florida heat.

We also tried the breakfast tacos. They were okay, but I wish they came with breakfast potatoes instead of chips. Without the guac or salsa, I probably wouldn’t get them again.

Overall, though, this is one of our favorite coffee shops in the area with great drinks, great vibe, and the perfect spot to relax by the water.

A beautiful location, excellent food, friendly service (only counter service and expect long lines), and did I mention a beautiful location?! This is a must visit place for breakfast when in the area!

Only had lattes and cold brew drinks. The atmosphere alone is worthy of traveling for but I enjoyed the drinks. Looking forward to going back soon! This place is one of the best hidden gems I have been to.

Ice coffee had ice balls with what looked like additional coffee. Helped so much while I sat outside in 95 degree weather. Got the coconut latte. Views are top notch!

Cool place but runs out of food early……. After waiting over 10 or 20 minutes for our order, we were told two out of the four items we ordered were out…….. We then had to walk back to the register to cancel that order and placed a new one having to wait another 10 minutes or so.
Cool place but needs help with food management and better communication between the kitchen and registrant taking orders.

Loved the location and scenic atmosphere of this place. Perfect spot for cafe with a few small food items. Boyfriend enjoyed the avocado toast. The matcha latte was unique with coconut milk - just a little pricey ($11 for a large) before tip.

Me and friend just left without being served, we arrived and were directed someone here by one of the hostesses, did that, asked to be seated, a very unfriendly girl handed us a menu, we sat on a table and waited half hour , then an even more unfriendly girl showed up and just handed us a different menu, and left after realizing that we were not going to be served, we stood up and went to the front and asked to be seated once again, we were met with more disappointment, so we left
Horrible experience

This is another great spot that we had the opportunity to go, The food good awesome , unbelievable Abel customer service, you can actually go for dinner and watch the sunset. This is another spot that I definitely recommend..
