Great meal and great service indeed!
Great local coffee shoppe with down to earth breakfast options including omelettes, grits, sandwiches and sausage gravy & biscuits.
Walked in my first visit and was greeted by four of the staff before we even were seated. Such a great start to our dining experience. Clean and quaint but not overly trendy. Just good people serving great food with smiles and a fair price for families and those stretching their dining budget.
Great meal and great service indeed! Thank you Central Coffee Shoppe!

Absolutely the best breakfast in St. Petersburg, FL
Absolutely the best breakfast in St. Petersburg, FL, hands down. Over easy eggs were over easy, hash browns were perfection, corned beef hash was homemade and delish, toast was toasted perfectly, the staff were very very nice and attentive, the food was plated nicely and the establishment was very clean and welcoming. There aren’t many places like this anymore, which saddens me. Keep in mind that I’m in no way sad since everything was perfect and me belly be full!

Recommend stopping by for a great meal!
Have dined here for breakfast twice so far. The portions are generous and very tasty. While both times I’ve come in they were a full house and visibly busy, the wait staff were wonderful and the service was quick. Recommend stopping by for a great meal!

A great place for breakfast or lunch in downtown St Pete
A great place for breakfast or lunch in downtown St Pete. This is more of a cafe or restaurant than a coffee shop. It has the feel of a traditional dinner, very relaxed. Food was good, the service was outstanding, I will be back. *My only negative, it’s time to reopen the counter service!
