The entire bakery is gluten free but don’t let that stop you - everything is amazing. I love the breakfast pizza and hand pies, especially. This is one of St. Pete’s most popular weekday coffee shops with tons of outdoor seating on the patio in the heart of downtown.

Locals Only Beach Parking Tips
The best advice we can give is: go early. Get there before noon to get a spot, and you’ll have no problems. Want a local beach? Find the little pull-offs between buildings along Gulf Boulevard to find secret boardwalks out to less populated areas. We especially like the one on 142nd Avenue on the northern end of Treasure Island (before you cross the John’s Pass bridge).

Saturday Morning Market
The southeast’s largest farmers market is not to be misssed. Great food, live music and fun vendors.

Looking for a Luxury Beach Day?
We love this service! They set up everything you need to have an awesome day at the beach - tents, chairs, coolers, you name it. Just Uber out to the beach of your choice and don't worry about lugging your gear along (or cleaning it up).
