Great coffee and great art, good to just relax with a cup of Java and browse. If you just need to take a break or get out of the house for a few minutes, then this place is worth a visit! read more

I love Dunedin Florida. Dunedin is a beach town, city full of great shops and restaurants and a good place to get medical care too. Hidden among the fun beach side motels I found this cool coffee shop and art gallery. I cant believe it's still here! Coffee and an art gallery....how fun. It's worth checking out if you like funky, artsy artwork and delicious coffee. Definitely not Starbucks. read more

Art Smart Coffee & Gallery - Art Smart Coffee and Gallery. - Art Galleries Near Me - Dunedin, Florida

This is a huge, unique, epic and rarely open monument to passion regarding coffee and passion regarding art. Mario roasts his own special blends of coffee every week, a few pounds at a time, to satisfy his loyal clientele and to make the best, freshest coffee he can from the highest quality beans. Amazingly, he also makes the most affordable high quality coffee in the area! He cranks out at least 100 pounds a week! I was privileged to try his double espresso. It is very, very fresh, with a huge crema, wonderful aroma and complex but smooth and fruity flavor. It's a blend of Ethiopian yirgacheffe, Columbian and Brazilian beans, roasted to medium at exactly a peak of 450 degrees and then immediately cooled so they do not over cook. Wow! Five stars! How this can be only be $12.99 a pound? The quality and price blew me away. But then there is the shop. It's a massive art gallery with multiple rooms and every inch covered with art, mostly Picasso prints! I kid you not! You have to explore this place, on one of the only three days a week Mario is open! He has no employees. He has no imitators. He has no helpers. He has his own passion for coffee and art. He has his desire for coffee perfection! He spends most of his week roasting small batches rather than opening the shop. Life is great with a unique passion for perfection! Thanks Mario! read more

the best coffee i have had in the whole country, and i travel a lot. lovely gallery space too!

This is a small business serving delicious coffee. I always enjoy the iced coffee because the owner freezes coffee to make the ice cubes which doesn't dilute the drink. The cafe has interesting art you can walk around and view while you drink your coffee--hot or cold. read more

Was jonesing for some coffee on our way north to Honeymoon Island Beach when I spotted this shop. Neat concept here, a coffee shop that has an art 'museum' within. All of their art/prints are for sale as well. They specialize in iced-coffee, which is my drink of choice, and serve it with unique coffee frozen ice cubes to provide a post-drink bonus that I thought was very cool. The best part was not paying Starbucks level prices for our drinks. Stop by and give this very personable owner's shop a try, I think you'll like it! read more

Best coffee in Dunedin. Great flavor and price. Also, fun to look at the art. The owner roasts the coffee beans in the shop.

I don't even know where to start here. First off, you could get lost for hours just looking at the art in this place. The coffee is the best I've had since I moved to the area several years ago. No one else even close. And I'm a muffin snob and the blueberry muffin was also the best I've had since moving here. The owner/master roaster is also an awesome guy - people love him. I can't possibly recommend this place highly enough read more

Artsy and coffee! It's a love! They are known for their iced coffee! They won awards for it. But poor little Floridian me felt the cool cool air today! No iced coffee today which I usually always order. We picked up a cappuccino for my hubby. Sat inside and scoped out the art. It was nice and cool and different here with lots to see. The owner was very nice and helpful and broke down his oh so special art gallery/coffee shop. No matter how many times I come to Dunedin, there's always a place I can find that I haven't been to that I love. This is one of them. Check it out. It's not on the Main Street. It's on the Bay Side. Can't beat being across the street from a Bay View. Weaver Park is just across the streets read more

Mind blown. Walked in for a quick jolt before our workout at a nearby park. A couple people on line so we started looking around. An hour later, re-emerging in love with the obvious art porn our eyes just consumed, we came up to the counter to order. Mario was so delightful and made our iced coffee (O M G) and frappe while we all had a nice conversation about the collection around the store. I'm drawn to the Picasso collection around the bagged coffee section- so I walk towards it only to find we have missed another room of fabulous art!! Really excited to come back, and screaming to the Yelp world that this is our new coffeehouse!! I personally feel his products are underpriced!! We had two caffeinated beverages and 2 biscottis for UNDER $10!!! Don't deprive yourself of this gem! Can't wait to come back tomorrow and explore some more!! read more

I love this little gem! Art Smart claims to have the best ice coffee period, I can't disagree thought. What makes this coffee stand out is the coffee ice cubes, this makes for a better taste as the ice melts instead of diluting the coffee. Not only that but the aroma and strength of the coffee is on point too. The bonus about this little spot is that it's also an art gallery and you can sit in various parts inside the gallery. See a painting you like? You can buy it. If I lived closer I'd be here more often. Definitely a must see! read more

Great iced coffee and fun art to browse through while you wait. They use frozen iced coffee ice cubes which more places should do, great idea. read more

Some of the best fresh brewed coffee in Tampa Bay! The art that is displayed and for sale is abundant. They also have some jewelry. You must try the coffee, though. Margaret is an awesome barista and makes a great hot latte! They also use coffee ice cubes for you cold brew people! They have indoor and outdoor seating and good parking. read more

Great ICED coffee. Never have ice downed coffee again, they use coffee ice cubes that actually make your coffee stronger. Wonderful taste :) There are a number of flavors and different milk types offered including soy and almond. Also offered are muffins and or scones, all at half the price of that other place Once you try this coffee you will never go to That other place again.again. read more

I stumbled across this coffee trip on a day trip to Dunedin. What drew my eye to the coffee shop was the art surrounding the shop. It is both an art gallery & a coffee shop. The coffee shop is owned by a local family & the time they took on their craft is evident. What makes this coffee unique, believe it or not, is their ice! When ordering an ice coffee, their ice is frozen cups of coffee! Brilliant! Instead of ice watering down my coffee, I get more coffee! Good prices! Non diary & sugar free options! read more

Mario is a sweetheart. He does all kinds of special coffees and is very proud of them. He told us all his varieties and had a great personality. He says he has been here 12 years. Come check this place out! read more

Art Smart coffee is fantastic! It's no secret the iced coffee is some of the best in the area. Excellent quad and americano priced just right. Roasted beans in house are fresh and delicious, do your self a favor and snag a bag. Almond milk options. Strip mall location and dare I say cool 90's coffee house vibes. read more

Went here on the recommendation of a friend who calls herself a coffee snob.. haha we'll see about that, I thought :) Located in a strip mall, the outside seemed a little cluttered verging on junky, but if it's good coffee who cares? Mario, the owner, greeted me and I told him I'd like their famous iced coffee ($2.99). Their beans are from Blazing Bean roasters (local to Clearwater) and he uses his own custom Picasso blend (African sidamo and sumatra, available for purchase). Iced coffee is not cold brew but rather it's 2 shots of espresso, milk of your choice and topped off with coffee ice cubes! I got the almond milk with a touch of vanilla syrup. Well, it's delicious! The coffee flavor shines through brilliantly, not at all overshadowed by the almond milk or syrup. The coffee ice cubes melted a bit but that's just more coffee flavor, so yay. I took advantage of the several small galleries of art while I sipped my coffee and took my time. Top notch! read more

Delicious coffee at a reasonable price. Was so happy to find this cute cafe near my house so I could stop wasting money at Dunkin :^) I LOVE that they use coffee ice cubes in the iced drinks!! Also- with all the local art work decorating this place, you'll never get bored while waiting for your drink :) read more

I am not a coffee drinker, but was exploring the neighborhood and literally pulled a u-turn to check this place out. WHOA. It took me awhile to understand what I was looking at. It's a gallery, actually jam packed with tons of options - some really gorgeous paintings - and all are reasonably priced! Some have tags stating prices, but most do not, and as the signs says, art is between $95-$125. All of it! And there are a lot of really beautiful paintings! There are 3 rooms, walls covered, and also some art stacked. I asked for a price on a piece that was unmarked (he quoted me $95) and explained to me that he gets everything from estate sales. There is also a frame shop inside. But much of the art is in it's original frame, so I guess it's just in case you want to change it. There was actually so much I wanted to buy, I just need to think about it and make some decisions first. I'll be back often! read more

Stopped in after seeing a sign "famous iced coffee". Iced coffee was smooth tasting and they gave coffee ice cubes. You can view lots of art and enjoy your coffee here. Some outdoor seating. But it's an art gallery. read more

sweetest find ! such a good and calm spot. Art work shown in all corners of this place with multiple rooms to sit and relax. I wish there were more cafes like this everywhere, although the place it's in is also very neat. I would love to come here all the time, it speaks for itself. read more

The day I came to this place, I was feeling quite melancholy, my father had passed suddenly a few days earlier. I decided to take a long bike ride to clear my head. I rode up the Pinellas trail and decided I wanted to stop and take a little break. I parked my bicycle and went inside this coffee shop. I had passed it many times by car and was meaning to stop by, but hadn't until this day. I bought an iced coffee and perused the rooms full of art while sipping on my drink. It was a feast for the eyes. Walls drenched in an array of colors and patterns, I got lost in my own head while looking at all of it. My father was an artist, and most definitely loved a good, inexpensive cup of coffee. I feel I was definitely channeling him that day, as I admired all the beautiful pieces of art. I felt as if he was there with me. And for that, I feel a special connection with this place. I have been back, one more time in the weeks following- and I plan to return again and again. Thank you, Art Smart Coffee for giving me a little piece of my father back. read more

It's been five years since my last review and the place is still a strong favorite of mine. I've now bought a few beautiful pieces from here and used to hit it almost daily for the iced coffee. Mario's a gem and so is this shop. Don't miss out. read more

Such a cool spot. I honestly didn't know what to expect coming here. I mean art and coffee go well together but the quantity and different types of art I wasn't prepared for that. Plus the coffee. In my opinion this would make a fantastic first date/getting to know you place/ unique spot to mean a client. There are no distractions it's pretty quiet and a lot of art to look at and to purchase. Keep in mind this isn't Starbucks but you'll probably find a coffee drink you will like. For me it was the iced coffee special for $2.95 or $2.99. You get 2 shots espresso, coffee ice cubes, your choice of whole or 2%, and a milk alternative option. Great price + delicious = something you should try. I will be back here it is just such a cool and unique place. I can't wait to bring the kid here when he comes home from school this summer. read more

So I guess because they only serve coffee then I can only judge it by the coffee which was excellent. For 2.95 you get two espressos shots, coffee cubes (instead of ice cubes just frozen coffee) your choice of milk or alternative and a flavor shot it you wish. The owner is a great guy and his pride for his coffee and obtained art work really comes out when he talks. There are a few baked items available like zucchini bread, pineapple bread, from an outside source. We tried those two types and although moist did not seem to have any unique flavor. So I would probably avoid that. All in all I can understand why they were voted best ice coffee and the price is great. We will be back. read more

I'm sitting here right now with my wife after a warm ride on the Pinellas Bike Trail. This establishment is outstanding. The owner was the friendliest guy telling us all about his coffee products & how he makes them. I ordered an iced coffee. Wow, the espresso is not weak & the coffee flavor totally delivers. He uses coffee ice cubes which is brilliant....so the coffee never gets watered down. My wife ordered a frapicasso which is awesome. I took a taste when she wasn't looking. The store has an attached art gallery to it, making it a one of a kind shop. Totally worth the stop here. Now that I'm getting all this caffeine, I can go another 20 mikes, LOL. read more

This place seriously has the best iced coffee ever! It never fails to disappoint. Your choice of milk mixed with two shots of espresso over frozen iced coffee cubes. The frozen cubes are made from some seriously quality stuff, and once they melt, your coffee tastes even better, instead of getting watered down. All this for just 2.99! If you prefer your coffee with a sweet syrup there are plenty of flavors to choose from that you can add for 50 cents. This wonderful coffee is served inside an art gallery so there is always plenty of interesting things to look at, and if you are so inclined, to buy. The owner is a delightful and friendly man with a passion for art and coffee. He is always the one there working the counter so you are sure to get great service. There is outdoor seating and a walk up window in case you come by with your dog and can't go inside. Across the street is a beautiful waterfront park with picnic tables and a long pier. Right next door is a kid friendly park with a great playground. I love coming to grab a coffee on the weekends when the weather is nice to relax and take in the view. This place is such a short distance from downtown Dunedin it's totally worth a try! read more

I love finding unique and eclectic little places like this. Very kind friendly service. The view of the ocean from our table was awesome!

This is a best kept secret, coffee and art---a match made in heaven.

Mario is the man. His coffee slaps. Coming back from college where coffee that good would make me take out a loan, his prices are more than fair. I get his famous iced coffee all the time. His cold brew could also cure drowsiness, depression, and other symptoms from being stuck home with your family during a pandemic. read more

I can't even decide what was the best experience I had here, the coffee or seeing all the art. I loved the creative way the designed the coffee shop. Awesome ice coffee! The ice cubes are not made out of water, they're made out of frozen coffee! And while they start melting, the taste of the coffee is even better! Really nice place to pass by, enjoy a spectacular coffee and maybe read a good book while you're at it. read more

This is an interesting place right off of the Pinellas Trail in Dunedin. We stopped in here on our way back from the beach because we were in the mood for a cup of coffee. Of course I checked Yelp to find out what was good in the area, and this place came up with an exceptional rating. When we pulled into the parking lot of the small strip center where this place was located we noticed a sign that said best iced coffee. Of course we had to try it. We were greeted by the owner, who was super nice, and very passionate about his coffee. The ice coffee was great, it seems the secret is in the ice cubes, which are made of coffee. We perused the art gallery and a hundred and something dollars later, we left with our much needed caffiene fix, and a piece of art we liked. Try this place for the coffee and for its character. read more

The BEST ICED COFFEE in Tampa Bay! It's made with espresso shots, ice cubes of brewed coffee and milk (of your choice 2%, half and half, etc.) You can add flavored syrup too. You can't go wrong with that recipe! Service is unbeatable. The owner takes pride in what he does and provides great customer service. Nice place with beautiful artwork throughout the store. This is a great place to grab some coffee when you're biking on the Pinellas trail or in the downtown area, just north of Weaver park. IT'S A GEM OF DUNEDIN! read more

Hands down, the best iced coffee in the area. It's fun browsing the art while you enjoy your drink. He has a really great collection that includes many local artists. The owner is friendly, chatty and knowledgeable about both coffee and art. read more
