Cute coffee shop in a great spot. Not far from downtown St Pete. Pretty large coffee/cocktail bar with plenty of seating. I got the standard vanilla cappuccino and my partner got the regular cold coffee flight. Good price for 2 people early morning breakfast coffee stop.

Genuinely cute coffee shop. Friendly fun staff and so many great options for coffee and cocktails. Lots of seating in a quiet inviting atmosphere. I had a regular coffee flight but they also had a cute seasonal option! Free Parking is the back and there’s plenty of it.

The Blend: More Hype Than Substance Stopped by The Blend on 41st N with high hopes for a caffeine hit, but let’s just say… it wasn’t exactly brewing greatness. The coffee? Bitter enough to make you question your life choices. And as for the tables—well, you’ll be hoping they don’t collapse mid-sip. Broken legs, dirty surfaces, and a general “we don’t care” vibe. Not ideal. The cake selection? Barely worth mentioning—what little they had was sitting out on the counter, fully exposed to sneezes, coughs, and maybe a passing fly. Appetite ruined. The staff? They seemed under pressure and a bit detached, like they’d rather be anywhere else. This place is trying so hard to be trendy that it’s forgotten the basics—good coffee, clean surroundings, and decent service. The Blend might look the part, but the experience left me craving an actual good coffee shop. Style over substance doesn’t cut it when your tables are wobbling and your coffee tastes like regret. ☕
