50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants St. Petersburg

“The apps and entrees were really good. Dessert was not our favorite. Oil and olives in ice cream and cookies? Strawberry pepper ice cream? Not again for us. Menu changes about quarterly. Service was good.“

“Our group of thirteen dined here today to celebrate two birthdays, seated at two tables. We spent close to $800, and I have to say — the food was exceptional and our server was outstanding. The staff provided warm and attentive service that truly stood out. Unfortunately, what should have been a joyful celebration was tainted by the behavior of the new ownership. A gentleman, who appeared to be part of the new management team (a man in his early forties), sat and later stood in different areas of the restaurant, repeatedly glancing at our group — the only African American party in the establishment — as if we were out of place. At no point did he acknowledge our tables or the two ladies whose birthdays we were celebrating. Yet, he made a point to warmly engage with non-Black patrons seated at the bar. The contrast was noticeable and deeply disappointing. In 2025, it’s disheartening that anyone still needs to be reminded that the color of money is green, and respect should not be selective. We value ourselves, our experiences, and where we choose to spend our hard-earned money. While the food was phenomenal, the lack of respect and basic acknowledgment from ownership left a lasting negative impression. We will not be returning, and I truly hope the new owner learns that real hospitality includes treating every guest with dignity and appreciation — not just those who resemble him. #Disappointed“

“Had a family dinner at Baba last night and as always the food was delectable! We order a sizeable combo of selections from their consistently amazing menu. All the spreads, octopus, falafel, roasted chicken, lemony orzo, snapper skewers, and more (desserts!) Yum!
The highlight is always our waitress, Teal, who we call ahead to request every time. She is lovely, professional and well versed on the menu of the day/ season. We adore her 😊.
Baba is a guaranteed delicious choice for our family and friends ~ every time!“

“Excellent food and outstanding service. A group of us stopped by after participating in our group’s Pinellas Trail cleanup and we all enjoyed our breakfast. We will be back!“

“Great clean ice cream place. Great selection of all kinds of flavors of different ice creams.“

“This place makes you feel like you’re in Turkey with music and decor. The food was absolutely delicious. Mehmet and Tugce served us gracefully. My husband said he just found a piece of heaven.“

“The wings were delicious, service is friendly and great. Also had fresh spring rolls phenomenal“

“Thank you for your support and donation of chicken wings to our 11th Annual Showers of Love Community Baby Shower! Without Community Partners such as you we couldn't do what we do!“

“Beech Kombucha is absolutely un-‘BEECH’-lievable! Stumbled (or should I say, fermented?) upon this gem while killing time before a comedy show, and let me tell you, the real joke would’ve been not stopping by. I’ve now been back three times, and each visit has been a ‘brew’-tiful experience. The best part? The ever-rotating lineup of flavors keeps things fresh—no chance of things going stale here! Every sip is a delightful surprise, and I love that there’s always something new to try. The vibe? Immaculate. The first time, we cozied up indoors, where the eclectic furniture made for a quirky and inviting atmosphere—perfect for conversation. On return visits, we took full advantage of the backyard-style outdoor space, which is not only spacious but also dog-friendly. Our pup gave it two paws up and is now fully on board for future visits. And let’s talk about the staff—beyond friendly! I’m admittedly terrible with names, but I believe it was Julian who guided us through the kombucha selections with expertise and enthusiasm. His recommendations were spot on, making the whole experience even better. Oh, and just when I thought things couldn’t get tastier, a food vendor was serving up Mexican-style tamales and street food on our last visit. The pairing? Chef’s kiss. If you haven’t given Beech Kombucha a shot, what are you waiting for? It’s a ‘brew’-tiful place with fantastic drinks, a killer vibe, and a welcoming team. Trust me—one visit, and you’ll be ‘hop’-ing back for more!“

“My son, mom and I stopped in for an early dinner after my son's basketball game. This was our 1st time here and we absolutely loved the food. I highly recommend the "Cool ranch rider" has a nice kick to it the only thing I did differently was ranch instead of mayo and banana peppers instead of hot peppers. My son had the "Turkey bacon" minus onion and tomato as well as sub the mayo for ranch he absolutely loved it!! My mom got the "Roast Beast" loved hers as well!! We decided to try the Lemon Blueberry cheesecake, it too was delicious!! We will definitely be back!! The ladies that helped us with our order were super sweet and made us feel very welcomed!! Loved the vibe. Reggae music playing as well, just overall a great place!! We were at the 3rd Avenue location for reference!!“

“This is my go to spot for pizza in St Pete! Eddie always does it right!!“

“great ice cream, wonderful and patient staff, many unique options. great value for what you get!“

“The staff at Cosmic Fish are AWESOME.
Shout out to Nate, Jeff, and the man with the beanie.
Vibes are immaculate, my favorite spot for a late night study session.
+ Outlets
+ Comfortable seating
+ Clean bathroom
+ Priced right drinks , snacks, and other goodies available

The Iced Lattes are on point and they really take the time to take care of you.

This spot is a must visit!“

“This place is sugar heaven- I’m so cereal about it!

All your cereal fantasies have turned real at the Cereal Bar. It’s such a fun concept- the place is reminiscent of old school cereal boxes/ cartoons and completely doesn’t match its location in downtown St. Pete (which is a good thing).

They handmake all their ice creams in the shop, and you can tell. The fun part of this place is that along with your ice cream, you can choose to mix in any cereal- literally I swear they have mostly any you can think of.

You can also mix in pop tarts- I chose this route and did pop tart mix in with my espresso ice cream and let me tell you this is what ice cream should be. The pop tarts gave it such a nice and satisfying texture, and the espresso ice cream was sooo good, again you could tell it was really homemade.

The owner was working behind the bar and was really friendly and helpful. Yes, these desserts can get super sweet when you have ice cream, a sugary mix in as well as a topping like hot fudge, sprinkles or more. But if you love to overload on sugary goodness, then this is the place for you.“

“This afternoon I joined 22 friends for High Tea at Jack's. The food was better than the High Teas I had in England. Perhaps this is due to them making everything in house: fresh baked bread for the finger sandwiches, puff pastries with cream and jam, rum spiked fruit cake...all delicious. If you've never been to England, and still want the authentic experience, gather some friends and arrange with Jack's for a delightful afternoon of tea, food and conversation.“

“Every pastry is amazing! We've tried nearly all of them, but especially the Pastel de Natas are super authentic to Portugal. The savory breakfast and lunch items are amazing too! We can't get enough of their focaccia sandwiches 🤤“

“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!!! Everyone is so amazing, words can’t express the love they have for this community and its people. If you haven’t been here, you absolutely must! There isn’t a bad menu item and they have the BEST coffee in town, hands down!“

“Great Beers, awesome staff & unique, quality, curated events. Definitely recommend“

“The atmosphere was perfect! I’m a sucker for vampires and werewolves! Lol! Excellent service! Music is my favorite; it’s classic rock! I will be back!“

“I love Jane and her team! These chocolates are simply delish! I reached out to Jane to create me some custom chocolates for marketing my law firm and they have been a huge hit! I would highly recommend Schakolad Chocolate Factory! 🍫☕️🍫“

“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.“

“We had a blast, this place has a great vibe along with great service, video games and decor. The pizza is great too!“

“I stopped in while vacationing near Sarasota. I LOVE this store! Best London fog I’ve ever tasted! Great customer service as well! Love that I can order online when I run out.“

“Great food and service! Yum yummy“

“Great breakfast! They were big portions and the server was amazing and helpful. The owner was very nice and also took time to walk around and speak to all the guests. Great service, clean building, and great food!“

“Customer service was stellar. Employees were welcoming, friendly, and attentive. Dining room was clean and organized. The sushi was great! The spring rolls were ok. The wrapping was mushy in the center, and I’m used to it being crunchy all the way through. Overall, it was a great experience and I would eat here again!“

“Best poke bowl around! The shrimp were large and everything was fresh. Excellent service at the counter.“

“DELICIOUS! Great atmosphere!“

“This place is a little hidden gem. Had some of the best chili dogs I ever had! Highly recommend. Staff is super nice and it’s got such a good vibe inside!“

“Sandwiches and salads were excellent. I wasn’t charged for iced tea refills. Loved the Reuben. My wife’s salad was delicious. Good service as well.“

“Kudos to new/returning manager Jill for making Hatters great again. New furniture, new arcade game, new ping pong table, theme nights like Drag Bingo Wednesday plus friendly customers and staff make Hatters a wonderful place to work and play. Delicious smoothies and creative tea creations. Best kratom in the area served by expert tenders. Roger and Nat together make weekend evenings a blast while Mikey makes it a pleasure to work from Hatters during the day.“

“Amazing wine and the service from Sunday made for the full experience. This location was highly recommended from our friends at Paradise Sweets in Pass-a-grille. Absolutely 10 out of 10!“

“Our favorite coffee in St Pete! We always get oat milk cappuccinos and they miss it every time. We love all their pastries as well, they're just as good as regular pastries if not better!“

“Love going to PAW! Great beer and people. Love the Mug Club!“

“One of my favorite things in DT St. Pete. An absolute must while in the area. Loveeeeee Stracciatella!!!!!“

“My daughter has a cows milk protein allergy, so when it came to getting a smash cake for her first I decided to try Valhalla since they have nailed the vegan goods. One of the BEST cakes I have ever had and many others who tried the cake! We had strawberry frosting with graham cracker cake and it was to die for. They designed it all entirely and I just purchased the “one” candle and moon sign to insert into the cake. Amazing cake , great Service and attention to detail. Even if you are not vegan, this cake was incredible and so moist, again best cake I have ever had and will be ordering for many events to come!“

“The tacos here are always bursting with flavor, the service is always very welcoming and they have little games for kids which is always a plus. Their salsa is fresh and their queso is also good, not too spicy which is how I like it— but my daughter doesn’t love spice so it’s perfect for her. Never ventured outside of tacos, but their bowls look good too! Better than Torchys for sure! Support local“

“Great selection of beer and wine to choose from. They really do support small breweries and have a large local craft selection too. The brunch was delicious and wait times for a large group were pretty minimal. Great experience and a place where anyone could find something they'd like.“

“Simply wonderful! Natalie is our absolute favorite server!! She made my husbands birthday amazing and memorable!“

“Who was very tasty and delicious“

“Friendly staff. Convenient location. Great place to have coffee, tea or grabbing a bite to eat!“

“I worked with La Diperie to cater an event I put together and the experience was superb! The team was so easy to work with, and the pricing was more than reasonable for the quality. Peter came on-site before the event to check out the space and set up his spot so that the day of the event ran smoothly. The ice cream (even had a vegan option!), dips, and donuts were delicious. They helped make our event a hit. Thank you so much, La Diperie team!“

“tailored teas Love ❤️ It“

“Delicious! Tastes just like dairy. Highly recommend!“

“Visited The Scott inside the entrance of The Cordova Inn before starting my day in downtown St. Pete recently and chose a latte from their menu. It was fantastic coffee with fresh ingredients. I'll be visiting again for the perfect start to the day. Nice to have a local cafe within walking distance from Williams park.“

“This little cafe in downtown St. Pete is truly a hidden gem. The first time I visited, Bianca had just pulled a fresh batch of homemade organic chocolate croissants out of the oven—they were huge, delicious, and so good you’d think it was a recipe she’d been perfecting for years.

I came back again for lunch and it was just as amazing. I had the chicken salad on a buttery, flaky croissant, and my friend ordered the chicken schnitzel sandwich with potato salad—both were outstanding.

On top of the food, Bianca is so sweet and welcoming that it instantly feels like home in here. Every visit is the kind of experience that makes you want to stay a little longer, and it’s one of those places you want to tell everyone about but also secretly keep to yourself. Thank you so much for the amazing food and energy :)“

“first time my wife and I were there for breakfast today the best bacon egg and cheese I ever had very clean courteous staff we will be back.“

“Great atmosphere! The staff is very attentive and friendly!“

“Excellent Staff & Service - completely competent, expert and friendly Folks in a family run establishment - of course the custom baked goods are an appealing attraction to many, yet there's also great variety in the breakfast, lunch and dinner menus, plus gourmet coffee offerings and a bounty of other beverages !+“
