Also got the bacon, egg and cheese croissant which was decent. Staff is very friendly and there was ample space for standing however didn't see much seating for peak times. Overall, I thought this was a cute spot but will definitely try a different coffee order next time!

The shop is small and cluttered, but what bothered us the most was the staff never acknowledged us when we walked, or while we were shopping. we spent about 10 minutes looking around planning to by some things and setup a kite lesson. There was one other customer being helped. We never heard a hello I will be right with you how are your etc. it was as if we didn't exist. I can honestly after our experience I will never set foot back in this shop. St pete has to have better shops than this. I know it's difficult to find quality employees, but this was to another level. Sad to say I was hoping I had found a new water sports shop to spend my money at. It won't be this one.
