St. Pete Bakery Café

Jennifer Nagel a month ago

This place is a true "turkish delight!" Some friends and I stopped in while walking by and were warmly greeted first by Danny, and then by Tonya, the shop owner. Both were immediately engaged with us, answering questions and chatting as we made our selections. We tried the cinnamon and cardamom baklava which was incredible. After learning they make their soups from scratch I opted to take home some lentil soup for the lunch the next day but when I got it home and took a spoonful just to taste, I could not stop at just one bite. Before I knew it the yummy soup was all gone! The ambiance is charming, offering an eclectic, clean, & comfortable vibe. I am so pleased to have discovered this true gem of a restaurant and look forward to becoming a regular, eventually experiencing all the scrumptious food and treats they create and serve.

★★★★★ I stopped into St. Pete Bakery this afternoon and was immediately charmed by the place. This is exactly the kind of small, locally owned shop that makes downtown St. Petersburg so special. The bakery is beautiful, inviting, and filled with the kind of atmosphere that makes you want to slow down and enjoy the experience. The space is clean, thoughtfully designed, and has a warm, welcoming feel from the moment you walk through the door. Whether you’re stopping in for a pastry, dessert, coffee, or simply to see what they have available that day, it’s the kind of place that makes a lasting impression. One of the things I love most about downtown St. Pete is discovering unique local businesses, and St. Pete Bakery is a great example of why the city has such a strong small-business culture. Five stars. I originally stopped in because I was walking by. I left wondering how many times I can reasonably return before the staff starts recognizing me as “the bakery guy.” A beautiful little shop and a wonderful addition to downtown St. Petersburg.

I visited this small Turkish cafe yesterday, and it was such a fun experience. The cafe was bright, clean, and thoughtfully decorated in a way that made the small space feel much bigger. One wall was filled with Turkish coffee pots, which were fascinating to look at, and the embroidered umbrellas hanging from the ceiling made the cafe feel unique and memorable, almost like I had stepped into another country. The employee was incredibly sweet and kind, which made the visit even better. I tried the cardamom and cinnamon Turkish coffee, stuffed grape leaves, assorted Turkish delights, and cardamom baklava. Everything was delicious in its own way. The coffee was rich and aromatic, and I was excited to finally try Turkish coffee after wanting to for so long. The rice-stuffed grape leaves were different from anything I have had before; tangy, savory, and surprisingly delightful. The Turkish delights were also a treat, with unique textures and tastes that are hard to fully explain. They are definitely something worth trying for yourself. The cardamom baklava was crispy, nutty, sweet, and beautifully spiced. Overall, I really enjoyed visiting this little specialty cafe. Between the beaut

Great authentic Turkish coffee experience! The service was excellent the gentleman at the front was super nice and very helpful. The interior has a beautiful Mediterranean vibe that adds to the atmosphere. The coffee shop is fantastic, and the baklava and lentil soup were both delicious. Highly recommend

I have to say that this is one of the most delightful places I have ever been into. The chickpea soup was amazing, the gluten free muffin was amazing as well! The gentleman here also brought me a piece of Turkish Delight on the house since I was in there dining by myself and getting some emails out of the way. If you have even 10 minutes to stop in and just grab a cup of Turkish coffee or even a piece of baklava please do. Will absolutely be coming here again and again!! (Also the place is beautiful!)
