    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

    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.

    Birthday cake iced latte special

    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!

    Breakfast sandwich
    Kyle V.

    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.

    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!

    Amazing breakfast burrito. No WiFi so not a good place to work with a laptop but fun pre beach vibes.

    Abby D.

    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!

    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.

    Brekky Burrito w/bacon
    Todd M.

    Ambiance Service Food Grove Surf Cafe checks all the boxes. The location could not be more perfectly situated near Indian Rocks Beach and the interior is a vibe as well as the menu. Both drinks and food did not disappoint! Highly recommend as a place for your morning coffee and a bite to eat.

    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.

    The best thing at the Grove cafe

    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

Atmosphere: The Cafe de Paris is located inside a small strip mall in Indian Rocks Beach. It's simply decorated on the inside. It has a large display case with a variety of fresh pastries, breads, and quiches to pick from. You can also watch the master chef/owner make crepes at his work station. They have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The seating is based off what's available when you walk in. You order at the pastry display case! Service: The service is fast. Everyone we encountered was very friendly! Food: We always love the food we get here. I like their croissant sandwiches. You can pick from a variety of options but I always get the bacon, egg, and cheese option and asked for it pressed. I love their Paris Special coffee drink. It is a long shot of espresso topped with whip cream and shaved chocolate. Yum! I've tried a variety of their pastries and they are always good.

I was pleasantly surprised to say the least. My guest also loved her meal, ( Salmon Benedict) the salmon was perfectly done without being dry, the eggs were a little beyond poached but that's okay. The home fried potatoes were golden brown and an excellent addition to the meal. The ambiance is super chill which is surprising considering how good the food is.

She was rushing me that I almost forgot to order the bland oysters and gross BBQ barely cooked bacon wrapped scallops. When I tried to back up to order the apps. She literally yelled. Are you not going to order your kids entrees? Like accusing me of child abuse. The table next to us looked up. Then when I tried to order my son's dish w sides. She kept insisting / yelling w wide eyes. It only comes w fries. And I explained I'm not ordering the basket of shrimp. I'm ordering the entree. When she finally listened. She apologized and realized how rude she was coming across. Probably bc both my husband and kids as well as the other table had awkward shocked looks on our faces. She was much more pleasant after that. I tried not to take offense. Maybe the fan was distracting her from listening as it was blowing us out of the restaurant. The fan was on so high w the AC that everyone was freezing bc we came from the beach w wet bathing suits under our clothes. The kids kept going outside to warm up while we dove for our napkins and other items that flew off the table every min from the hurricane winds. I mean fan. We asked if they could turn it down or off and they said the other table wouldn't approve which was funny bc their child was wearing a hoodie and had to also go outside to warm up complaining loudly he didn't want to eat his chicken. He was too cold. Clearly they would have not wanted that fam off. They also are child abusers like us. I'm leaving detailed of a review bc I want a reminder that $160 later for a family of 4 isn't worth this and to not repeat this mistake bc we visit this beach often. Definitely walk farther.

We were seated immediately. Due to the size of the place we were right next to the kitchen window and the aisle where everyone walks. Didn't love that but there weren't many options for seating. They only offer Pepsi products. There appeared to be only two waitresses for the restaurant this night and they were very busy so service was not great. Basically order was taken and food delivered and no check in for refills or anything else. I ordered a cup of the crab and corn chowder. The flavor was good but this was definitely a corn chowder. I did not taste or see any crab. I'm from Maryland so this was disappointing. For my entree I ordered the shrimp and scallop platter from the entrees. Basic fried food with no seasoning. Fries were very basic, also no seasoning. Would not come back or recommend unfortunately.
