    Do not know of a better put Patisserie coffee shop in Saint Pete.
    Captain Jim T.

    A great patisserie coffee shop in an outstanding boutique hotel. You could be in France or Italy in a standard three star hotel. Great place.

    Coffee is very good. They are open early so that really works for us as we're early risers. Very friendly place and the scones were yummy!!!

    Iced mochas are delicious. Barista Dathan did a great job and was very nice to chat with. They serve Kahwa coffee and it's yummy!

The weather was absolutely beautiful, so sitting outside to enjoy the food made it even better. I loved that their menu has a ton of vegan and gluten-free options, and everything is clearly labeled so you don't have to guess. The coffee comes out super quick, and while the food does take a little bit of time, it is totally worth the wait since you can tell everything is made fresh. Highly recommend making a quick stop here for breakfast, brunch, or lunch!

It gives that colorful fun Florida vibe and instantly brings up your mood! We got the spiced orange latte and I didn't love it. The coffee seemed a bit watery but it was iced and usually iced coffee doesn't present the flavors as well as a warm drink so I can't be too picky on that. They added a nice orange slice on top and I'm a sucker for cute little additions like that. The barista was really patient with me and sweet even tho I changed my mind mid order because I saw a different drink. Their to go cups are not simple which I love so they can still be photographed and appreciated. They are very pricy tho, definitely west coast prices instead of east and it wasn't worth it for me but it might be someone else's cup of tea, or cup of coffee!

We split the turkey and cheddar. It had cranberry chutney lettuce and tomato. It was prepared panini style, it was delicious. Like thanksgiving on a pressed sandwich but a little bit more interesting flavors. It was great. We had a drink to go with it. Nice way to start our interesting weekend. Our plans do not matter, but the staff and service were great and the place was cool. Definitely recommend visiting when you can. Our schedule did not allow a longer visit, but if it had, I'd have had a second beer and relaxed for a bit. Excellent vibe.

In moi case it's usually a water. If you live around downtown you will most likely see someone you know & stop to chat. A local community "hotspot" gathering place. You can grab a lite brekkie, from their grab & go, take a walk in the park & stop here Before/after for refreshments etc., The lovely Views of the Marina & Park across the street adds to said neighborhood charm. Lots of morning walkers joggers etc., What I love most about the annex is they have this bright, sunny, little indoor cafe that features local artist's artworks/paintings on the walls. They also have a TV for those wanting to catch the latest highlights. The tables & chairs are quite comfy & its a very comfortable high vibes place to sit with your laptop or friends anytime OuiOui. Added to moi fave St. Petersberg restaurant/shops. Highly Reccomend.

They make theirs with San Pellegrino, which is my personal favorite for an espresso tonic. My better half ordered the ginger açaí refresher (caffeinated). I don't usually go for refresher-style drinks, but I honestly could have finished the entire thing myself. It was delicious! Service: The barista was incredibly kind. I had a few questions about the menu, and she answered all of them patiently and helped me decide what to order, which I really appreciated. Ambiance: The indoor space is on the smaller side, but it was calm and quiet, with several people working on their laptops. I especially enjoyed the outdoor seating area; there are umbrellas over the tables, and it's on a relatively quiet street, making it a great spot to work or relax outside. While it's not the most aesthetically pleasing or ultra-Instagram-worthy coffee shop I've been to, it's a perfect choice if you're looking for a genuinely good cup of coffee, a peaceful outdoor spot downtown away from the noise, or a place to get some work done.

My friend met me for dinner last night and from the first interaction with the hostess, to our dining experience with Aaron, the food, and the people watching...it simply got an A+. When I'm dining out, I need equal parts ambience, aesthetics, and the quality of food that hits my palate. The crispness of the Sauvignon Blanc was beautiful. For an appetizer we shared the crispy artichokes and trufflekopita. Both are a must try! They continuously give you a mouthful of flavor and are perfectly seasoned. For our entrees, we got the chicken francaise. The bucatini it was served on was delicious. For sides, we ordered roasted vegetables and OMGGGGGGG, get the Rosemary bread. The cherry on top was our service from Aaron and his recommendations on dishes and accompaniments. Superb all the way around - we will be back!

For this visit, I had the blackened chicken sandwich on an onion ciabatta toasted bun with bacon, lettuce, tomato, and a sweet mustard sauce, served with a side of salt and vinegar French fries. The chicken sandwich was very good. I think a little more blackened seasoning would elevate this to the next level. I also felt the bread-to-chicken ratio was off. There was just too much bread and not enough chicken. The French fries are highly addictive. They also have an excellent selection of cocktails which are awesome! Two of my favorites are the Pink Streets Margarita and the Sunken Gardens. The service is excellent, friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Overall, I am looking forward to coming back to Perry's Porch for another lunch.

We ordered two large coffees, two ham, egg, and cheese open-faced croissants, and a blueberry scone. I wasn't used to having a breakfast sandwich served open-faced, but I'm officially a fan now. The croissant was flaky, buttery, and paired perfectly with the ham, egg, and cheese. Every bite was delicious. The coffee was exactly what we needed to start the morning, and everything together made for a fantastic breakfast. If you're looking for a cozy spot with fresh pastries, great coffee, and a relaxing way to start your weekend, this is definitely worth a visit.

I came up Cassis Market advertising pizza so I popped in and ordered on with pepperoni, sausage and ham. One slice came to nearly $7. The man behind the counter was polite but uninterested. He looked like he wished he could be anywhere but there. I took my pizza out to eat at their outside table. I took a bite. Man was it stiff. And that was at the point where it's usually the best part. I kept eating and crunching. No moisture at all. Some flavor but not enough to justify the cost or enduring the hardness. The ham was hard. The pepperoni was all curled up and looked overcooked. The sausage was just OK. I was hungry but I left half of it and threw it in the trash. It sat in my stomach like I had swallowed an anvil. Now I must say I selected this from a whole pizza in the display case. It was not a piece that had been lingering there for a long time. My slice was the first slice from the pie so I was taken aback by it's texture and hardness. Cassis Market - NOT recommended.

    The Wooden Rooster: Where My Morning Got Its Life Together Before I Did…read more Listen... I came here expecting "just a crepe." What I got was a full-on personality upgrade. First off--the vibe. Somehow it's better than Kraft (yeah I said it), but like... calmer, cooler, and not screaming at you before coffee. It's peaceful, shady, low-noise... the kind of place where you feel like you should start journaling or making better life decisions. Now let's talk food. I ordered The B.E.A.S.T. and I'm not exaggerating when I say this thing deserves its own documentary. Bacon. Pesto. Sun-dried tomatoes. Eggs. It was like every breakfast all-star showed up and said, "Let's absolutely dominate this guy's morning." Perfect balance. Crispy, creamy, savory... I took one bite and immediately forgave myself for everything I've ever done wrong. And honestly? This is a WAY better place to start your morning than the bagel place down the street. You know the one. We've all settled for it. We don't have to live like that anymore. Also--huge shoutout to the service. These people were so nice I almost asked if they wanted to come manage my personal life too. Fast, friendly, and somehow still chill. Bonus points for the menu because where else can you go from a Nutty Joe dessert crepe to a Cubano crepe to a PB&J throwback without anyone questioning your life choices? Final verdict: If you're in downtown St. Pete and not coming here, you're making your mornings unnecessarily harder than they need to be. Wooden Rooster didn't just feed me-- it emotionally supported me.
