Moscato and a Fall Themed drink with Apple Cider - the mixed one was great!
Yanela G.

A bookstore where you can grab a drink? Sign me up. I do wish there were more snack and food options but there are a lot in the area.

The cutest book store/wine shop/coffee shop all in one! I'm in here about once a month at least to pick up my book club book! I end up getting a glass of wine or a coffee and never leave disappointed. I frequently just enjoy their snacks and wine will reading. They have great people watching seats outside or cozy vibes inside

Sweet pistachio date tea with milk & honey
Alyssa M.

This place has the cutest atmosphere, with books and bottles of wine lining the walls. There aren't a ton of seats, but there are a few tables and a bar to sit at. I got the sweet pistachio date tea and I highly recommend! I'm not typically a tea drinker but this one was really tasty. It's a very cute place to get a drink and look at some books or chat with a friend.

Lovely cuppa
Dawn B.

This shop is an experience and one you must have! Let me revise that; you must have it if you love a great glass of wine served by people Who know Their wi e, ypu desire a beautifully prepared loose tea or a well made espresso. And, they have great small bites. The bonus, is it is all inside a beautifully curated book shop. This is a must do in St Pete!

Macarons are unreal
Mara M.

Omg this place is so cute, I'm obsessed!! Great wine selection and very pleasant aesthetic. The staff are really nice and the other customers are nice too! Lots of fun books and gifts to shop for and don't even get me started on the amazing macarons we got! Will definitely be back... a lot...

Amazing Hidden Gem. A Great Place to Relax Unwind and Have some Solo Time or Also Meet New People also interested in Reading, Wine, Coffee and Tea. They have so Many Different Events and an Incredible Selection of Books and Wine. Everyone is so Friendly and Warm Welcoming.

What a cute book store! Came here for a friend's birthday outing. We sat outside on the patio and sipped our drinks. The staff were amazing! When we were done with our drinks, we went inside to book shop. The idea was to draw a name and then you go and pick out a book or books for the person to choose from. It was a fun idea and great surprise! Would definitely come back here to shop and recommend!

I was recommended Book + Bottle by a friend of mine last week. I had never heard of this place beforehand and never noticed it tucked away right off Central. As you see from my photos, it's a small, quaint, but very cool little spot. They've got thousands of books lined up on the entire left wall with several little tables in the middle where you could easily work, read, or enjoy the ambiance. I was taken care of by an incredible server/bartender named Andi! I told her what type of wine I liked and gave her dealer choice as she seemed to know what she was talking about. I was served a glass of the Soft + Pretty Dr. Burklin Wolf White Blend 2021. It was really good. For food, I ordered a brie with honey and jam. I would totally recommend you eating this with a friend as it's a lot of food for one person. I was stuffed leaving and had plenty more. Andi - Service: 9.9, I would have given her a 10 if it wasn't for her staying busy and doing an incredible job taking care of the place with all the customers they had come in. She knew her stuff and was so personable. I will be back to see her. Glass of wine: 9.3 Brie: 9.0 Scale system 10/10 would be what I want for my last meal 9.9-9.3 driving out of my way to get this 9.2-8.0 like the place and would go back 7.9-7.0 I would come here again if it were presented and don't have anything bad to say 6.9 and below - thanks but no thanks after trying once

After the Farmer's Market, we visit this nice little local book store with as many bottle of wines as books. No wonder our book club leader got discouraging reply when she contacted the store "we only have four tables. ..." Apparently they were afraid that our club would overwhelm the place. In fact, only six of us went. The bar serves wine and coffee, but we've brunch at the Library

Macaron
Heaven T.

One of my absolute favorite places to come work remotely! Book + Bottle has it all! Wine, books, coffee, light bites, and good vibes. You literally can't ask for anything more. Their staff is so friendly and helpful. I can't remember their name, but someone recommended two great books to me after I described what I was looking for and I absolutely loved them. I typically order a latte and the spicy sausage rolls (these are SO good) to munch on but the macarons are a lovely little treat as well. I have come on Thursdays to their writer's circle before and I really loved the prompts. Go visit Book + Bottle!

Iced matcha latte & Riesling
Dana G.

Book + Bottle was my favorite place I visited in St. Pete! The bookstore/wine bar combo is a bookworm's dream. There was an incredible selection of books in a variety of topics. There was also a great selection of bottles of wine if you wanted to pick one up while book shopping. The service at the bar was fast, and the team was super friendly. I started with a glass of Riesling then had an iced matcha latte, and both were lovely.

Is Book + Bottle dog-friendly?

Hi Michelle! We love dogs at Book + Bottle, and we ask for them to be outside only on our nice patio. We've got a water bowl and love to bring them pets and treats, but unfortunately dogs aren't allowed inside the building. Hope to see you soon!

A tiny restaurant can make a big impression because I'm still thinking about everything I ate here. The food was fabulous and so thoughtful.

Basically everything I could ask for from a lounge. Plus, the owner was kind, helpful, knowledgable and attentive. The wine tap is a fun time. You receive a card and use that to fill your glass (1oz, 3oz and 6oz pours -- 1oz are discounted during happy hour). There's such a diverse variety of wines (more than two dozen), you could get lost in all of the good options. Something for all palates. I tried the small Sonoma board (which was discounted for happy hour) and it was a good-sized, cheese-focused board with solid combinations. the meat and cheeses come with cornichons, olives, and crackers. the caramelized balsamic onion jam was incredible with the sweet blueberry goat cheese and the spicy salami. It's definitely enough for a quick bite to soak up all the delicious wine. Wines I tried, remember & recommend (you truly can't go wrong): - Passione Sangue di Giuda dell'Oltrepo Pavese - Chateau Pilet Bordeaux - Sonoma-Cutrer Chardonnay the decor is vibrant, rustic and cozy. so much wood. even more art! And lots of different styles of seating including booths, leather chairs, bar seating and small tables. accommodating for lots of group sizes! They offer happy hour Monday-Friday and trivia on Tuesdays at 7pm. All around a vibe! Definitely worth checking out.

My mom hadn't eaten all day, so we made the 30-minute drive to St. Pete hoping for a better experience, and it was absolutely worth it.

What could have ended as a ruined Mother's Day became a memorable brunch thanks to the team at Sauvignon. Big shout out to Chris and everyone there for going above and beyond.

The menu is fairly limited, but their house-made pastas are out of this world! I had one of their specials featuring pasta and airline chicken, which was excellent. My friend ordered another pasta dish, her husband had the fish special and my husband ordered the filet, which was cooked perfectly for him. Portions are on the smaller side, but still very filling. My husband and I each started with a Caesar salad. I forgot to ask for it without anchovies, and they gave the salad a very strong, fishy flavor. If you're not a big anchovy fan like me, I'd recommend ordering it without. Service was excellent for a busy Friday night. Our server was friendly and helped guide us with wine recommendations. He was spot on, and the wines paired beautifully with the meals we chose. Definitely a great spot for a cozy dinner in the heart of Central Ave.

From the moment we arrived, everything felt intentional and elevated. The atmosphere is small, boutique-style, and beautifully designed. The lighting, the table setup, even the dishware--every detail showed craftsmanship and care. This isn't just a restaurant--it's an experience. The service was flawless, especially considering it's run by such a small team. Chef Ian Florence and his wife Dayna Bennett, who warmly hosts and manages the front of the house, work in perfect sync alongside their sous chef. The timing, attention to detail, and genuine hospitality were incredible from start to finish. The meal unfolded like a perfectly orchestrated multi-course experience--starting with starters, then appetizers, sides, salad, and entrées. Each course transitioned seamlessly into the next, building on the last, and every single dish was nothing short of spectacular. The wine selection was expertly curated, complementing each course with precision down to the finest detail. And the food... unreal. Everything tasted like a dream. Every bite melted effortlessly in your mouth. You could distinguish every ingredient, every herb, every layer of flavor--each one intentional, each one perfectly balanced. It was one of those rare experiences where your senses are completely engaged--where every bite sparks something new, almost like your brain is lighting up from the depth and complexity of flavor. Each dish told its own story, yet together it created something unforgettable. I travel specifically for food. While most people take vacations for beaches or resorts, my wife and I travel to experience top restaurants--sometimes flying out just to eat and coming right back. We've dined at incredible places across the country and around the world, and this experience ranks right up there with the best of them. For Florida, this is easily one of the best dining experiences I've had. Hands down, one of the top restaurants you can visit in St. Pete--maybe even the entire state. If you're serious about food, this place is a must.
