“Da Sesto continues to be a part of my annual trip to the Tampa area for Spring Training. This is my 6th or 7th year of making Da Sesto part of my dining plans and never disappoints. An incredible selection of food and beverage in a wonderful atmosphere with excellent service. Make sure to leave room for dessert!“
“EXCELLENT freshly made Mexican food. It's my new favorite restaurant. Very small restaurant, in a strip center, that has about six tables - and a drive-up window! They also have vegetarian options and their veggie tacos were fabulous! Staff is super friendly and prices are inexpensive for the large portion sizes. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!“
“My husband and I get the steak cheese subs with pickles on the side and we absolutely love it! I like that they toast the sub just perfect so it has the crunch but also keeps its softness. If you want a quick but filling lunch, this is the place!“
“Food was very good, but what set the experience apart from your typical fast service dining experience was the great service, especially from the manager Shaq. He made sure to introduce himself to us and told us about the store and went out of his way to make sure we were happy with our experience. We will return here because of Shaq.“
“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.“
“4/5/24…. once again, I placed an order online with Soho juice company! This time Kayla put together and checked my order and everything was perfect!I order often online and the food comes fresh and delish! This time, Stephanie personally checked the order and made sure all the extras were included; spoons and napkins!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free“
“From the first bite of cheese rolled in dough appetizer, to the last bite of our main meal, it was all amazing. All very good food, fresh tastey salad and soft moist gyro meat. The rice was delicious and I usually hate white rice unless my grandma made it. Turkish coffee is so good! I would 100% make this a regular spot to eat.“
“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.“
“Me and my husband used CaraMel's Bakery for our wedding cake and it was fabulous! We sat down with the baker and chose three different flavors for our cake and showed her a picture of how we'd like the cake. The wedding was a Harry Potter themed wedding and she followed everything in the picture and more! The cake was gorgeous and was truly magical. If you need a cake for your wedding, DO NOT HESITATE to contact CaraMel's Bakery.“
“Desiree and the Chantilly team are so lovely! My client ordered ten small cakes for their wedding this past weekend... Chantilly did not disappoint! The cakes were beautiful and tasted amazing! Will be recommending to future clients for sure!“
“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.“
“First time and really loved this place. Helpful staff, fabulous bread and biscotti to die for. I got the peasant loaf and it was delicious, moist and dense but not too dense. They had orange cranberry pistachio biscotti and it was fabulous! I'll be back.“
“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.“
“Good choice of crepes... both sweet and savory options... eggs are different... but sure how they're made... maybe with sour cream and thyme? Wetter than typical scrambled eggs... breakfast for the 4 of us was $70, so a bit pricey in my opinion...“

“Been here multiple times. The owner and workers who are there are always very sweet and helpful. I cannot have dairy and they do have a few options and their hot fudge is dairy free as well. This fudge is what brings me back. They have very many other flavors and toppings as well- plenty to chose from!“
“Delicious, fresh, healthy, fast and affordable. This place is amazing. I don't know how they do it, but this is a gem ?Kid-friendliness: They were so kind to our 4 year old, waited patiently as they ordered, and gave extra attention that made her feel special.“

“We wanted something unique for our wedding: a tiered flan. Claudia’s Heavenly Cakes and Flans makes the best tasting flan I’ve ever had (all of our guests agreed). Claudia was passionate about the project and the end-product was both beautiful and delicious, and reasonably priced.“

“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.“
“All I can say is wow!Great atmosphere, our server was friendly and attentive, and the FOOD was probably the best I’ve had in St. Pete and Ive lived here 31 years... I got the Ribeye with goat cheese on top and the jumbo shrimp on the side. Steak was cooked perfectly(in butter not seed oils), presentation was beautiful, and the shrimp were delicious!I have been meaning to check this place out since they opened due to the grass fed steaks and I am kicking myself for not going sooner!Possibly the best restaurant in St. Pete or the Tampa Bay Area for carnivores and vegans alike.Incredible!!“
“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!“
“Very good food friendly service. Always amazing food this is got to be in the top 3 Indian food places in the Tampa Bay Area. If you tried the rest try the best. Amazing food flavor and service. Found our new go to for indian food cravings. Go see for your self. Thank me later. Cheers“
“Second time at Thai 5. Can not believe this place was here all this time tucked back in this strip mall. Beautiful, sparkly, ambiance and atmosphere. Friendly attentive staff. Large outdoor patio. Best Crab Rangoon in the area. We enjoyed the spicy salmon roll. Beautiful presentation on all the dishes. Very flavorful and thick sauce on the garlic black pepper chicken and pepper steak. Large portions, full bar. I wish we would have known about this place sooner. Thank you Thai 5.“
“My recent visit to Grahame's Gourmet Cafe was amazing. They use high-quality ingredients and pay close attention to detail in their dishes. The staff is friendly and knows a lot about the food, making the whole dining experience great. It's a perfect spot for those who want both delicious food and a relaxed atmosphere.“
“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!!“
“I had the best time visiting Schakolad Chocolate Factory. An amazing selection of unique flavors including bourbon, orange and lavender to name a few that I tried. There are also beautiful holiday baskets available. The Easter bunnies looked delicious! Great place to stop in for a coffee and some chocolate!“
“This was my second trip to St Petersburg and my second time to Paradeco! Not only is the coffee shop adorable - fun, bright colors, whimsy decor - but the food and drinks are great too. The place was packed on a Saturday morning when I visited, but the staff was working hard to get through the line as quickly as possible. I love the healthy menu options. We will visit here again on our next trip out!“
“The new cinnamon rolls are really good. I mean REALLY good. I am not a sweets person, but I do like an occasional treat every now and then that is not sugary sweet. The cinnamon rolls are sweet, but the sweetness is balanced perfectly with the savory and rich strong butter flavor. The cinnamon taste is not overwhelming. The dough itself is fluffy and layered almost like a croissant. Normal cinnamon roll dough can be thick and tough. It wasn't like that at all. Great treat and perfect recipe! Well done, Cake Affection.“
“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.“
“First time visiting and didn't disappoint. I looked up their menu online beforehand and when I arrived I saw their menu was a bit different. But they knew what I wanted and was able to make what I wanted.Portions are reasonable and filling. Service was fast and friendly.“
“The softest donuts and so delicious, they melt in your mouth! so thankful to have a place that offers Gluten free cake donuts as well as regular donuts for both my husband and I to enjoy! make sure to ask which ones are gluten free, because they aren't marked. I have Celiac's and enjoy these donuts a LOT. Highly recommend this place! Really good customer service.“
“This place is a collection of piled up junk, a bloated menu, and dust balls in every corner...and it's exactly what we want on the Guilf strip. Unlike every other cafe on the road that is drowned out by its muted grays and wannabe Crate and Barrel decor, this place is unique. Though they could use a thorough sweep through to fix things (ie don't sit under the first awning bc it's about to collapse and kill someone) it's an enjoyable place.Skip the sandwich options - there is zero flavor in any of them - but dive into their baked goods. All drinks get a solid thumbs up.Parking is ample but the locals sometimes take spots that they shouldn't so consider walking if you can.Service is hit or miss; sometimes they're nice, other times they're walking zombies. I wish they were more engaged with customers to solidify that local "small business" vibe.Overall, I recommend this cafe over any other on the strip!“
“This place is AMAZING!! Their pizzas are AMAZING! Good value for the price (nothing is cheap in St. Pete). I get coupons in the mail sometimes as well which is great! We've moved and we are located close to them and we absolutely LOVE this spot! 10/10!“

“Amazing local coffee roaster in Belleair Bluffs that we came across on vacation! Our iced lattes were wonderful with good oat milk, espresso, and lavender syrup. I grabbed a really soft butter croissant that I loved and took another for later. We got fast service and the shop has a big open layout with versatile indoor and outdoor seating, with bar seats, four tops and cozy couches. There’s easy parking since coffee shop is in a little shopping strip with a big lot.“
“The service is always amazing. They have the best shepherd’s pie ever. The curry is pretty tasty, too. I wish they expanded beyond IPAs from Green Bench (feels like GB and 3 Daughters are the “easy out” local beers at so many places and they’re just okay).“
“They have the best Sugar Cream Ice Cream I've ever had in my life! I'd trade a good date for a gallon of this ice cream. It's that good! I'm from Ohio and make sure to visit several times when here on vacation.Parking: You pull up right to the shop in a strip mall“

I ordered: - Keto buns - Salted chocolate chip cookies - Sourdough loaf (V) - Everything bagel bites (V) - Chocolate cupcake (Vegan except frosting) The owner, Deb is super sweet and professional. Highly recommend!“

"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.“
“Stopped at 2 places that came up as “deli’s” one afternoon, neither sold sandwiches. This was my third stop. Happy I found this place. Boars head, the bread was great, not overpriced. If you’re looking for a good deli sandwich, this is your spot.“
“This place was amazing! The staff was clean, fast and friendly. Jordan was a great host very accommodating. This is my first time within the building. Answered all my questions before I began ordering. definitely coming back! highly recommend!“
“Honestly the fun-est litto shop ever! I love how st Pete has a ton of unique, local vibe coffee shops! This has been a shop I’ve always wanted to go to and finally found the time to check it out!Tried their Salami Pete sandwich on an Asiago with their King State Cold Brew and it was super good! Satisfied my morning hunger for a nice stroll around downtown afterwards.Coworkers were all super friendly. The shop was very spacious with seatings indoors and outdoors with litto gadgets to check out. Their merch selection was very cute! Was so tempted to get this tee that represented st Pete.Parking is street parking and minimal but wasn’t hard to seek for a spot.“
“Incredible spot. Great food, happy service, happy customers and did I say great food???I didnt even mention the ridiculous deserts ???????My only regret is the food didn't last long enough to take pictures of itKid-friendliness: First avocado sandwich out of dozens of places we've been to that my son tried and actually ate- very accommodating and so sweet“

“HaleLifes customer service is amazing! I had stopped by a few weeks back to get a donut and had an awful stomach reaction, which is no one’s fault. I emailed them a few days ago and the Head Chef emailed me back regarding that experience and we have now sent multiple emails back and forth discussing ideas on how to pinpoint what I may have had a reaction to, since I’m typically sensitive to gluten and dairy. Definitely stopping back in to try another product to see if I have a reaction again. Thank you Jackie for all your help! You really have shown your care about your customers and their experiences and try to help out any way you can! I truly appreciate it!“
“Picked this spot since they have a variety of different coffee and flavors to choose from!! Customer service was top notch, my friend have mistakenly choose the wrong drink and they fix it with no problem and with a positive attitude!! I would highly recommend to anyone in the area looking for some quick “
“Shout out to the staff at this Nature’s Table. I arrived at a busy lunch time and this staff was on top of all the orders with friendliness and smiles. Even when my order was possibly overlooked, they noticed me waiting and were prompt to deliver. The salad and smoothie were healthy & delicious too. I’ll be back when I’m in the area!“
