Their pastries and baked goods options looked INSANE like WOW, not many coffee shops have this many incredible looking options so hats off to them. Their drinks are made quickly and are really yummy. I tried their peanut butter cup latte and fell in LOVE with it. So delicious. Very unique. Employees were all very kind. Restaurant kept very clean and the space is huge. Lots of seating with 2 floors!!! Street parking nearby for free

Sitting and sipping Coffee

I visited St. Elmo Coffee Pub in Del Ray again today, and just like every season I've been here -- summer, fall, winter, and spring -- this place continues to be a gem. It's always full of life, with families, friends, kids, people of all ages enjoying great coffee and warm company. The atmosphere feels genuinely welcoming -- comfortable, lively, and inviting without ever feeling overwhelming. I had the multigrain toast with smoked salmon and cream cheese -- absolutely delicious. Fresh, balanced, and satisfying. The coffee here never disappoints -- consistently excellent every single time I've been. My guest ordered an egg and cheese bagel with turkey sausage and loved it as well. St. Elmo is one of those places that just makes you feel good to be there. Great food, kind people, cozy vibe. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy a relaxing coffee break, a light snack, or even a casual lunch. A neighborhood favorite -- and for good reason.

We loved this place the first time we came back in March, we loved our drinks and thought it was an adorable spot in town! Unfortunately we were disappointed when returning this weekend....my latte order was wrong, but I decided to keep it because mistakes happen. But then I tasted it, and it was extremely foamy. a just tasted a little off....Then I got to the near bottom of my cup and noticed this giant clump of chocolate powder? We also got the golden spice latte and were met with a similar disappointment of an extremely large foamy layer ontop. Willing to give it another try sometime, because I would rather go to a local spot than any big chain coffee! But for now I can't defend giving more than 3 stars.

First time in Delray and I'm loving the area! We stumbled upon this coffee spot while walking around, and I had to check it out -- the cool art outside and the name reminded me of an '80s flick, St. Elmo's Fire (even though it has nothing to do with the movie, haha). I tried the mocha latte with oat milk, and it was delicious. Definitely a great coffee shop to try if you're in the area!

Actually St Emo's... ZERO STARS. Here we are at 7:45 on a Tuesday and your doors are locked with workers inside while your hours read you are open until 8:00! Not ok.

Breakfast Breakfast Egg Sandwich & pistachio latte

This spot is basically my second office! I've always loved the neighborhood vibe, the great coffee flavors, and the fact that they use real ingredients in their food. Only knocking a point because, like everywhere else, prices are creeping up. I was charged $1 for alternative milk and another $1 for vanilla--that felt a bit excessive. That said, it's still an amazing place to cowork. Just be sure to pack a few extra coins!

I stopped in after my dental appointment to treat myself ... unfortunately this was a let down. When I arrived around 9:45am it was pretty busy with most tables occupied but plenty of chairs at the bar. There only one person in the line ahead of me ordering but I had plenty of time to peruse and make some choices. There was a wide variety of wine, pastries, an all day breakfast and lunch menu, patio and indoor seating so honestly it felt like something for everyone. After some discussion with the cashier, I learned the lavender homemade syrup was out and the strawberry wasn't recommended for coffee beverages (bummer). I settled for a blackberry iced latte half sweet and ordered the bacon and Brie croissant. The latte came out pretty quick but didn't have enough ice and honestly just tasted like an oat latte. The bacon and Brie took a little while like almost 10 minutes and they packed it to go ... no big deal except once I unwrapped it the croissant was slightly too toasted and the bacon was well burnt and the Brie may have been too because it was hard to bite into . I was disappointed in my choice and selecting this as my treat to myself. I can't say I would come back here if I was in the area but perhaps others will give it a try because it was pretty busy.

Special breakfast burrito
Rachel K.

St.Elmo's is my favorite coffee shop in the area. They consistently provide great coffee and good food for a fair price. Today I tried the special breakfast burrito ($6.99) and the Alexandria burrito ($7.99). Both were fantastic and came out piping hot. The ingredients were very fresh and good quality. This shop is fairly busy but I'm never waiting long for coffee/food. There's also plenty of seating (indoor and outdoor). I always find myself coming to back to st.elmos when I'm looking for classic coffee shop vibes

If you like that neighborhood like coffee shop that is not corporate or a chain you very well may be at home in St Elmo's. It is relatively basic with some wooden tables and chairs. There were groups meeting when I visited. I was disappointed that they serve beverages in paper cups even if you are drinking in house. Service was fine but perhaps not as friendly as I would have expected. My coffee was fine.

Outside

Love this place and come here a few times a month. It's almost always buzzing with activity! Their coffee is great here -- love the lattes and during the fall they had a great pumpkin spice latte made with real pumpkin purée. Have also gotten some baked goods here which were tasty as well! Service is quick and friendly. One of my favorite spots in Del Ray!

Trash everywhere
Jodi T.

The outside seating area is filthy! Tables all dirty and sticky! Embarrassed to invite a friend to meet here! Very sad and disappointed! This place was amazing a few years ago! Would not recommend now - won't come back unless ad

the coffee bar
Lauren F.

The line was long but orders were taken and quickly filled. We got a couple of the pastries, coffee, and breakfast sandwiches. I got a little nervous when I saw them making my drink because they used a powder mix for the mocha. But it didn't have a powdery taste even though they don't use a sauce or syrup and was surprisingly delicious! Many people bike or walk here and bring their dogs. There is ample outdoor seating on both sides of the street.

Unfortunately, whoever the individual was on shift today was just a total piss poor person - she seemed to have an issue with our party, as she automatically assumed we just came there to 'squat' without ordering anything (if you have been to this place before, there isn't much seating and this isn't where you'd want to sit for a bit anyway); when I called her out and stated that I already knew our party's orders, she backtracked. She then continued to make a snide comment on the number of drinks we were ordering - what's with the passive aggressiveness? I didn't know that there was some rule that each person was required to order something. Like, are you okay? I just had a bad feeling about all of this, and we should have just walked out instead of giving our money to support this business - to add to it all, the coffees that we did receive (latte with soy milk, and the mocha) were just poorly made and not strong at all; they were both watered down and bitter at the same time... come on! UGH, the regret, but it was a choice. Shame on you, Via Volcán! You might want to heavily reconsider who you employ and train them better - this individual is really hurting your business! What a miserable person. Street parking can be found in the area. +NASTY employee +watered down/bitter coffee +street parking in the area

This isn't just high tea. It's a cultural journey that unfolds in courses -- tea first, then Turkish delights, then sandwiches, and finally Turkish coffee to close it all out. The sweets are made with intention, the presentation is stunning, and the warmth Gizem brings to everything she does makes you feel like you're sitting at a friend's table rather than a coffee shop.

We each ordered a traditional Turkish coffee and an assortment of baklava to share. Grabbed a table near the windows and our coffee was brought to us quickly. I ordered the Mandin and was a bit nervous to see how small the coffee cup was. I expected a strong bitter taste, but was surprised at how smooth and flavorful the coffee was. The coffee is presented on a beautiful platter and with complimentary Turkish delights. They were soft, chewy, and a bit perfume-y. Felt like a tea party but in Turkey! The baklava was flavorful and sweet, perfectly paired with the coffee. We took some cute photos inside. Was a great time! Would definitely come again to try out the rest of their menu. Great place to bring coffee-lovers and people visiting from out of town.

Rating only as a coffee shop, I was quite pleased with my cup of Joe, where it was full-bodied,…read moresmooth and with no harsh notes. Service was quick where I enjoyed my cup outside on one of their tables adjoining the business. Besides coffee, they would appear to serve the full assortment of drinks you would expect to see in a barista type operation as well as sandwiches where they serve breakfast and lunch during the course of the day. Nice! Overall, if you're looking for a quick cup of coffee that is not a chain coffee then this is an excellent option for you especially if you are in the area. The other key thing to note is this shop opens at 6 AM Monday through Friday so if you're an early riser like I am, keep that in mind.

It was the perfect spot to do just that. you walk in and can feel the spot is a neighborhood gem. that being said, i felt like a slight outsider being new there--not a them thing, just a me thing :). They deff have regulars. It's smal and cozy; the furniture is mismatched and i LOVE that. Now, if you have customer-anxiety, i like to call it, i would deff look at the menu beforehand so you know what to order. I walked in and there was a couple sitting closest to the cash register and i was like "oup!! can't take too long. everyone knows i'm here and i need to make a quick decision" so i just ordered quickly without really the taking time to look at the menu (whenever i go to new coffee spots i like i choose a fun, unique drink if they have it and i just derped). SERVICE: The owners were running the cash register on a saturday morning. I love me some business owners! So it made me happy to support this business. they were quick, kind, and efficient. The drink was made QUICKLY! I was in and out in under 8 mins. So saturday morning around 10:30am/11am -- i got quick service. FOOD: The iced coffee was so yum. I got a small iced vanilla latte. It was honestly perfectly. I like my iced coffees sweet but not too sweet. I didn't have to add anything but i could still taste the coffee profile. it was a joy to drink. for a bite to eat, i had the corn muffin (pretending to make myself feel better about eating something "healthy"). It was AMAZING. Totaled around 11 bucks. Definitely crumbled easy while eating it, as I was breaking pieces off with my hands while I chatted. All in all, i'd come again for sure.
