I used to HATE matcha... until I tried this combination!…read more I'm not a matcha person at all, but Brother Thomas in St. Pete just made me a total believer! I ordered their seasonal fresh-squeezed watermelon matcha, and it completely blew me away. They squeeze the watermelon juice in-house, and having that natural sweetness on the bottom layered under the matcha on top was the perfect, well-balanced combination. It was vibrant, gorgeous, and had just the right amount of sweetness to tone down the matcha flavor! Why this spot is a 10/10: Seating: Great indoor and outdoor seating setup Atmosphere: Super intimate and laid-back vibe, but still lively enough for conversation. It's an awesome study and remote work spot! Customer Service: Top-tier! The staff is so kind, helpful, and super knowledgeable if you ask for recommendations Price: Around $8-$10 for specialty seasonal drinks, which is so worth it for in-house fresh ingredients. I would honestly go back for another one in a heartbeat. Overall: 10/10 experience, and I'm already so excited to see what seasonal drinks they come up with for fall!

My friend and I ordered the Tira-Mis-U Latte and the Double Matcha, offered in one size. I chose the Double Matcha because I'd heard it had a milder flavor profile, and it was a bit lighter than I personally prefer. If you enjoy a stronger, more pronounced matcha taste, you may find it on the subtle side. The Tira-Mis-U Latte had a pleasant bitterness with balanced sweetness, which reminded us of Vietnamese coffee. It was served with a ladyfinger, yum! Service was great! The barista was very friendly. The interior is open, modern, and filled with natural light. Don't let the plaza location deter you. It's a bright, inviting space to relax and study.

The couple who owns the spot were literally some of the nicest people we've met at a restaurant. Super accommodating, friendly and generous. It was late lunch time a little before they closed, so only a handful of others were there dining. Go up and order at the front and they'll bring you the food/drink or set down next to the drink station. We had coffee, a breakfast burrito and a chicken Caesar salad wrap. I was jealous of my husband's pressed burrito, it was TASTY! But my wrap was fresh and held together really well -- I really enjoyed it. Especially since I wanted something a little on the lighter side. We got back to the hotel and another couple was in the lobby trying to find a spot to eat the next morning, and we recommended Mangroves. Simple and reliable. Cheers!

Patrona Coastal Cafe has been on my wish list for a while. It had more to do with scenery and…read moreambiance than menu. Anytime I can escape the "my life" dimension and slide into what seems like an alternate dimension, I seldom hesitate. An early morning at the Asian Market at Derby Lane brought me close enough to make a detour to Patrona's Coastal Cafe. Your morning beverage is a safe bet to be pleasing. An assorted menu of coffees, Matcha's and Iced Delights assures your first cozziness level. A limited but effective smattering of breakfast sandwich options do not overly impress on the menu board, however, once in hand they ply a deep breath of relaxed satisfaction. Level 2 of the cozziness level attained. Then to sit, facing the water taking in the beatiful and peaceful landscape ignites the 3rd booster towards maximum cozziness. You are now transported with your face firmly pressed through the fabric of space and time into that vacay dimension. A leisurely pace emerges as if every second lasts 3 to 5, you breath deeper, your senses sharpen and your pupils dialate as they try to absorb the panorama. Cafe con Leche is my preference and I chose the Grown Up Grilled Cheese Sandwich. The sandwich was perfect, from the toasted caramalized bread to the melted cheese and vine ripe tomatoes. Savory, hot and filling. It made me look at the menu board with a little more respect and consider other options for future visits. The laid back waterfront vibe, the matching tunes and ethereal atmosphere are a magical delight. Come get ya some!!

Saw this place on Instagram and was excited to check it out!…read more Our first visit started off a little rough. We were given our coffees and told we'd be buzzed when our food was ready. After about 40 minutes, I went to check on our order only to find out it had been forgotten and had to be made then. Mistakes happen, but I do wish there had been a bit more of an apology, especially since they weren't very busy. Waiting 40 minutes for avocado toast and a breakfast sandwich was definitely frustrating. We decided to give them another chance, and our second visit was much better. The coffee, atmosphere, and views are definitely worth checking out. Coconut latte was my favorite! Just be sure to clarify how the food pickup works so there isn't any confusion. Overall, I'd come back for the coffee and the vibe!

Wise, weathered and experienced; a full life heavily soaked with memories, stories and anecdotes. A life lived is the vibe J.J.'s gives. As I peruse the timeless passages in the store, I come upon shelves filled with a small eclectic variety of foods and sundries. Draft beer up front. Wine and beer varietals, many types and sizes of chips and a walk-in beer and wine cooler. The place has a welcoming, comfortable and casual feel throughout. Tables, chairs and a sofa reminiscent of Aunties or Grandma's place where you can slow your roll and reminisce. I was greeted by a friendly young man who confirmed I could order breakfast. On the boards overhead a long list of options. Mostly Wraps, Sanwiches and Salads. As well as a list of available breads. They are open from 8am to 8pm. Just before I ordered came an offer, "you can add or take off anything or choose any of the breads for any sandwich". I knew right away what I wanted. Extra Bacon BLT on pressed Cuban Bread. The results were sublime, every bite the same, the perfect crunch, uniform throughout, tempered by the exact proper portions of mayo, lettuce and tomato on warm pliable bread. Artistry for the palate and senses. I know a good sandwich when I taste one. My critique of sandwiches almost always centers and highlights the lack of ingredient order, quality, quantatative balance and construction. Thoroughly pleased, I decide to order take-out for my lunch and an omelet for my wife. I wanted an original, just as they make it, with no substitutions in order to test their further Mastery of Sandwichology. The Vito please, and since it's for lunch, mayo and dressing on the side to keep it dry. It was the closest they had to an Italian, my go to in all places that craft, meats and cheeses between 2 or more slices of bread. Hand crafted, artisenal, perfectly balanced, uniquely constructed , benefited by an abundance of trial and error and creative expertise that is only accomplished with substantial time and experience. The Vito was a lesson in the art of making a sandwich. Proportions and ingredients in perfect harmony. From the razor thin red onions and banana peppers to the quality of the constituents and the perfect order placement of the items. It was truly a masterful composition. I preffered it without the balsamic. Did I get lucky? Or is this what JJ's does daily. Can't wait to get back and find out. Plus, some extra money forsome of those items on the shelfs. Prices very reasonable and free parking out front. Come getcha some!

I think it's a better stop than the gas station if you're on the way to the beach. Though I did originally come here because I saw that they had gluten-free bread option, the gluten-free sandwich wasn't the best. I don't doubt that their gluten-full options are delicious. I would've just preferred the sandwich to be crispy. It was pretty soggy. But on the other hand, executing a gluten-free sandwich safely in a kitchen that has gluten is pretty challenging. I don't doubt that they did everything to cover the sandwich and prevent cross-contamination, which is probably the only reason it was soft instead of crispy. So I'm not shooting it down if you're looking for an option of something to eat and bring to the beach. Definitely go though if you're just looking for some beverages and chips, they had a lot of really cool stuff there!
