    Egg cheese sandwich
    Sarah C.

    I am so disappointment. I waited so long and had such high hopes. My sandwich was cold soggy yuck. Coffee good tho....

    Beet  (my daughter couldn't wait and pulled a beet right out of it)
    Vanessa T.

    An ideal day for me is to stop here for breakfast and pop over to the beach! Delicious lattes (i just tried the key lime coco) and food. The beet sandwich was to die for and had plenty of thick beets, goat cheese, pistachios and perhaps pesto? My daughter also loved it. Don't know when they added this, but there's a lovely seating area to the right that's perfect for kids with a little toy food truck and astroturf. Clean bathrooms, friendly staff, terrible parking (as is most of Indian Rocks Beach). I've had the bakery before and it's so good but by noon last Sunday, they'd sold out of almost everything because of the spring break rush! Better to get there early.

    Something straight out of CA and this CA girl is here for it. Located right across the street from the beach with an open café, order at the bar, find a spot and chill vibe. Great food and coffee. Super cute merch. Parking is tricky , my advice is park nearby and walk. I had the breakfast burrito w bacon and an ice toasted coconut latte and it was delicious. Probably one of the best breakfast burritos Ive ever had. Service was simple and friendly. I will be back!

    Salted Caramel Macchiato
    Alison M.

    Super cute breakfast and lunch spot in Indian Rocks! Grove Surf Cafe absolutely nailed it. The coffee is delicious, ingredients taste super fresh, and there's a dangerously good selection of baked goods. Staff was very friendly and welcoming. I had the salted caramel latte and it was spot on -- flavorful without being overly sweet. The avocado toast was honestly some of the best I've ever had: thick sourdough toast piled high with freshly mashed avocado, pickled red onion, feta, crunchy corn nuts, and radish. Total flavor explosion. We also grabbed the Key lime muffin, which was buttery and soft with a perfect dollop of tangy key lime filling on top. Laid-back, beachy vibes with really thoughtful food and drinks. A must-stop if you're in Indian Rocks.

    Breakfast sandwich

    Wow! Fantastic! Delicious breakfast sandwich and well made cold brew. This place was packed as I believe everyone had the same experience. Highly recommend. Staff was friendly. Great seating inside and out.

    Chicken Caesar Wrap
    Megan D.

    Food was good. Restaurant itself has limited seating inside but definitely worth the trip. Coffee was amazing. Quick service for how busy they were. Would definitely go here again!

    Come feel all the surfer vibes at this cafe across the street from Indian Rocks Beach. So cute, so fun! The workers were so sweet and there's many options to choose from. They have an adorable section of merch as well which was tempting. I thought the coffee was good but not super strong. Maybe it was just the one I got, though. They do also have food here so you can get a good lunch or other and I'll definitely be back to try that. Such an adorable place that's the perfect stop before or after a beach day, or just for the vibes!

    Super cute beachy cafe with outstanding food & coffee! My friends and I were starving after a night out, we were saved by their chicken Caesar wrap. Dressing was fresh, refreshing with perfectly seasoned chicken. The breakfast burrito was so satisfying, creamy with avocado and a huge filling portion. Absolutely delicious 10/10. Fast service too despite being so busy on a Saturday!

    Cesar wrap
    B M.

    Meh. Parking sucks, that seems to be the whole beach area though. Place was underwhelming. Heard great things about it but can't say that was our experience. Food was good but coffee was not. Had a bitter aftertaste that maybe is from a cheaper bean. Parfait bowl, avocado toast and Cesar wrap were good. Unfortunately, I never got to taste the key lime muffins everyone raves about because they had hardly anything available from their baked goods and we didn't get there late. 9 am. Small place that fills up fast so seating can be an issue if you are trying to eat there. Doubt I'd return when there are other options.

    Smash Burger
    Ivan Q.

    5 out of 5. This place rocks and Indian Rocks needs more places like The Grove. The restaurant opens for breakfast at 8 each morning. The line starts forming well before they open, so get here early. We didn't but came for lunch instead. Lunch was the same. Line forms, or maybe never stops (lol), early. We waited about 20 min to order and another 20 to get food. It was well worth the wait. We enjoyed a round of smash burgers with garlic aioli sauce. Out if they world good!! We also shared a Kale Cesar salad. It was so fresh and delicious. Definitely check this place out. It's right up the road from the Indian Rocks public beach parking area.

    The best thing at the Grove cafe
    Rosie p.

    I love the hash browns so so so much Most of there drinks are like coffee and matcha but if you come with a younger kid you can just ask for lemonade it is so so so good

    Lauan C.

    Wow!! This place has it all - great vibe, wonderful service and amazing food. The sandwiches were so good. The coffees are so great- house made caramel!!! And the bakery items were so delicious

    Birthday cake iced latte special
    Noelle O.

    Grove Surf Cafe never misses. It's a wonderful spot to grab some bites and coffee before hopping across to the beach. The service is on point and is super helpful if you're indecisive to explain which one is the better one to get if you're stuck in between ordering (since everything sounds and is great). This place gets packed, but the ambiance is extremely cute and has beach vibes all around. There's surf boards and wicker decor. If you're in line you can shop around too at their merch (they have got cute stuff). I've been here multiple times, the food is great. Get the breakfast burrito Also pictured (but I believe it's a special) - is the French toast sticks with vanilla cream for their opening anniversary date and WOW was it good!

The calamari was good, and the crab cakes definitely held their own. My only complaint is the sides. It feels like they need more options, or at least let us order the corn, potatoes, and sausage separately as sides. Also, a strange but important observation: the fries that come with the appetizer are somehow better than the fries that come as a side. I don't know how that's possible, but someone in the kitchen is clearly playing favorites. Service was good overall. Our waitress was attentive, but she had that "mom/grandma who's tired of your nonsense" energy. Not rude -- just very direct. You knew where you stood, and honestly, there's something refreshing about that. Overall, good food, good experience, and if you're looking for crab, it's definitely worth the stop. Just be prepared to eat what you're given and not argue with Grandma.

Service was fast, friendly, and attentive throughout our meal. We loved the complimentary warm bread served with seasoned olive oil--it was a huge hit with the kids before our food even arrived. We started with the calamari, which was perfectly crisp on the outside, tender on the inside, and served with two delicious dipping sauces. It disappeared quickly! For our entrées, the coconut shrimp was outstanding. The shrimp were large, coated in a crunchy toasted coconut breading, and paired perfectly with the orange blossom honey marmalade. The creamy garlic mashed potatoes, grilled asparagus, and roasted tomatoes rounded out a delicious plate. We also ordered the crab cakes, which were packed with lump crab meat, perfectly seared, and complemented by the Creole mustard aioli. Our kids were just as impressed! The kids' fish and chips meal came with a surprisingly generous portion of flaky fish, crispy fries, and fresh fruit, making it an excellent value. Our other child ordered the adult cheeseburger entrée and couldn't stop talking about how amazing it was. It was thick, juicy, perfectly cooked, topped with melted cheddar, and served on a soft bun with crisp lettuce and tomato. Every dish was beautifully presented, fresh, and full of flavor. Combined with the relaxing outdoor atmosphere and exceptional service, Guppy's delivered a fantastic dining experience. It's easy to see why it's such a favorite on Indian Rocks Beach, and we'll definitely be back!
