    Iced americano was perfect. Service was friendly and quick. Ample seating and inviting ambiance. Would highly recommend!

    This cafe is so cute! A good amount of seating (although it was very busy so seats filled up) even with some outdoor seating (not overlooking the water, though). Loved the tables inside near the window which overlooked the bay. Also, the wall art was very st Pete vibes. The service was so friendly, the women at the front were very kind and bubbly. Even though there was a long line, we got through quickly without feeling rushed. The matcha was super yummy! We got the bacon quiche and the bacon egg and cheese croissant, my only feedback is that we got our food to-go and they didn't put utensils in the bag and I didn't see any out; not the end of the world though. The bacon quiche was DELICIOUS and much bigger than expected, it also came with side salad or watermelon, and the watermelon was just what I needed. The croissant sandwich was also very yummy!

    We travel a great deal, including multiple trips to France over the last 20 years. In France I go to local pastry shops to enjoy the amazing talents and creations of the French pastry chefs. After going to Cafe Soleil I can now enjoy incredible French pastries locally. This place is amazing. Their croissants (and all the pastries with the same base) are over the top good. Flaky, great fillings, perfectly baked... you will love this place. (Suggestion: ask what "just came out of the oven"...those are really special!)

    Absolutely amazing. Pastry and croissant will blow your mind! I would eat here daily if I could. Dog friendly!

    Cute cafe with a great view of the water, friendly staff and charming atmosphere! Grab a table or a couch and have a quiche , baguette, ice latte! Perfect lunch spot!

    Cafe Soleil French bakery is a great little spot for a breakfast in St. Pete Beach. This spot was located in the back of a plaza just across from our hotel, a 5-minute walk. Cafe Soleil offers breakfast and lunch. Salads, quiches and simple sandwiches make up the lunch fare. Breakfast is toasted croissant sandwiches and pastries. My wife and I both had the egg, sausage and muenster on a croissant. Coffee to drink. Their pastry display is next level. Beautifully laid out and each item looking better than the next. My wife ordered the chocolate hazelnut plait and I had the apple turnover. Our food was out pretty quick. They serve Kahwa Coffee, a local roastery. The sandwiches were really good. Melty muenster cheese layered in with sausage crumbles and eggs. Cooked in a press, the croissant was thin, crispy and flaky with that buttery soft texture you would expect. Not too much food, just enough. A small slice of watermelon on the side for a sweet bite. The pastries were excellent. Freshly made, bursting with flavor. The Nutella like filling in the plait was ample and melded with the buttery, flaky dough. The turnover was filled with sweet, small apple chunks that were dusted with cinnamon. The staff behind the counter was super friendly and welcoming. They said hello and goodbye to everyone coming and going. We initially forgot to order my drip house coffee and when I mentioned I wanted one, it was offered on the house. They offered my daughter stickers and treated her like a star too. We'd go back here again and if you're ever in the area, you should go here too.

    I had the Claude and it was so good, I ate it all! I usually take half of my meal home, but I could not stop eating. It was fresh mozzarella and salty prosciutto with arugula and pesto on a chewy french roll. So delicious. For dessert I had the cherry plait. The pastry was crispy and delicate, the filling was tart and creamy. I would have eaten it all, but we had to go so I asked for a bag and happily finished it when I got back home.

    We were driving through the area and needed a snack so we yelped local businesses in the area and thank goodness we did! Café Soleil is an incredibly special business. This is a little gem tucked away in a beautifully decorated restaurant and the staff is so friendly and welcoming.. Now on to the food & oh my gosh, beautiful fresh croissants and a tiramisu donut are you kidding? Highly recommend this place is top-notch phenomenal.

    Very charming coffee shop with a European vibe. Pleasant customer service. Amazing pastries and quiches. Prices are high (slice of Quiche was $14) but you pay for the ambiance and location. Lots of seating areas, pillows and cushions should be cleaned, i noticed lots of stains Otherwise it's a lovely spot to enjoy breakfast or lunch

    Lovely French inspired coffee shop in SPB with delightful espressos, coffees and a decadent array of pastries filled with your favorite sweets or savory treats. The cafe is open, airy, bright and offers peaceful views of the Boca Ciega offering a cozy and peaceful retreat that soothes the senses and the soul. They also offer an abundance of al fresco seating including under a delightful white gauze canopy that makes me feel like I'm at a breakfast soiree at Downtown Abbey. My toasted Nutella and banana croissant was scrumptious- flaky, warm, and delightfully decadent and it paired excellently with the locally brewed Kahwa iced coffee. Most intriguing to me was their champagne, watermelon, pineapple, and chipotle mimosa special - I am a non-drinker but the temptation was high for this one, maybe next time. Friendly service, counter ordering that they deliver to your table. C'est magnifique Cafe Soleil!

    I visited Cafe Soleil today which is right on the water in a beautiful location. The first thing I noticed was how friendly the employees are from the second you walk in. I ordered a caramel iced latte and a chocolate hazelnut palet which is similar to a croissant. It was delicious, I highly recommend ordering this! The coffee was good too. They had many tables with many people getting work done. I recommend it if you're in the Saint Pete area.

    I couldn't keeps from starting to eat before snapping a photo of the Claude sandwich, the almond croissant, and the chocolate hazelnut plait

    Update: First of all the people haven't changed -- and that's amazing -- they're the same sweet incredible people that make every trip awesome. Second of all, the food is incredible! It's worth whatever drive it takes to get over to Cafe Soleil for a sandwich and a sweet treat. Absolutely some of the best food in town, so fresh and delicious! 3rd of all the ambience is delightful and great for an outing with the family or on a date. You should definitely visit!

The service in this hotel is very good overall. The pools and the beach are superb. We chose this resort as a special anniversary vacation, and this is part of the lower review. We ultimately felt the hotel discount promotion and phone sales was misleading. Ambiguous communication led us to believe we would receive a free night, however we later realized and were told that the discount was already built in to our price, although no sign of discount was found anywhere on our invoice. I'm self employed and I've managed business for 35 years, and I've not seen discounts that don't show on an invoice. Se beware of promotional discount offers as it may not be what you expect, and you'll be left with no way to disprove the phantom discount because it's not on your invoice, apparently is just spoken. Overall service was very good. We had a minor blip in the maritana, which was the wrong dessert brought to us, and presented as "happy anniversary" with a chocolate that said that, but was strangely charged to us. The waitress handled it like a pro. I would advise the chef to either ignore birthdays and anniversaries and that sort of thing, or offer a small free dessert. But definitely don't bring out a "happy anniversary" dessert then charge for it. Also had overcooked hard poached eggs at the society table - no big deal just no runny yolk. If not for the price, who cares? But with such a great menu and fantastic chef, they should get eggs right. No discount offered. But I ate it so... All of our food was great, and really well developed and complete dishes as if it were Michelin rated. Cheers to the chef. Just two very minor fails. Overall it was a nice stay but we won't go back mainly because ultimately they didn't step up over a $600ish discrepancy over a 5 night stay. Look at my reviews. It's very rare I don't write 5 stars. I'm not one of those people that gives a bunch of bad reviews. The highlight of this resort is the beach, the pools, and the menu. Service is good overall. So definitely some good.

It really feels like a library and restaurant combined, with books everywhere and the dining area downstairs. It's such a cute and cozy setting for lunch. I ordered the crispy chicken Cobb salad. It was refreshing and overall pretty good, but honestly, nothing too special in my opinion. The fried chicken wasn't as crispy as I expected and was a little dry, so I definitely needed some water with it. My husband got the club sandwich, and I actually really liked his! It was yummy and refreshing, but again, nothing that completely wowed us. For drinks, I got a glass of house wine which was really good, and my husband got an Old Fashioned.

    WARNING-VERY HONEST REVIEW…read more We eat out a lot and mostly leave positive reviews but we can't in good faith give Breeze a good review. First, we arrived at 12 noon, put in our name with Sofia who gave us a 20-30 minute wait time. When we returned 25 mins later, the party in front of us was complaining about waiting an hour yet she told them we were before them and she didn't have their name. She proceeded to seat them discretely before us. After 50+ minutes we said something. She told us to leave a bad review and to leave the restaurant. We had waited so long and lost opportunities to put in our name at other restaurants so we decided to wait. After an hour, we said something. We had watched another table waiting the last 20 minutes for their bill so they could pay and leave. Finally the manger came out and said no worries, we would have a table and he got us seated quickly. He assigned Nate as our waiter. We were optimistic that we were on our way to a great brunch as one person in our party had come to the restaurant and had a good experience before and so we were hopeful. We immediately placed our order since we had time to review the menu, we asked for waters and drinks. Water never came until we asked again. Silverware never came until we asked for silverware. . When the food did come it was meh. Crepe was dry, wrap was cold, best part of the meal was the Bloody Marys. The table next to us overheard our conversation and said they were also having an awful experience with the staff and would not return. Nate then told us we were difficult for no reason. When we had asked for the bill he told us he didn't divide it in 2 bills because he did it on purpose. He also said "my name is Nate, go ahead and write a bad review about me". We never intended to write any reviews. It was just an awful experience. We will never return and it would have taken such a small effort to make amends once we were seated, but instead the staff was rude and instigated patrons who were giving the restaurant business. Our community is small, we support only local businesses, but not this one.

She wanted a restaurant with outdoor seating, a view of the water, an excellent wine list, fine dining selections, AND open on a Monday night. I cried for Help from Yelp. 82 Degrees nailed all 5 criteria. At 6:15pm We were able to make an on-line reservation for three people for 6:30pm. Be careful to only park in spots designated for the restaurant or you will be towed. You can't miss the parking signs because they are plastered on every parking spot. We arrived and were immediately shown to a choice rooftop table just in time to enjoy a fine view of the sunset on the Gulf. After the sun set the bartender asked the diners at the dozen or so tables if they wanted the huge glass windows closed, and since it was starting to get chilly everyone agreed. My niece is very knowledgeable about wine, so she took charge of the wine list. After discussing the (Admittedly small, but well selected) list with the sommelier Laura chose the Iron + Sand Cabernet Sauvignon, a well-regarded, bold red wine from Paso Robles, California (4.8 Stars rating, I looked it up). She must have liked it, because she drank two glasses. Later on, she ordered a Pinot Grigio to go with her entree but I've forgotten the name. She also chose specialty drinks for Rich and I that were tasty and had a nice kick to them, but I don't remember their names either. I would have taken a picture of the drinks menu but my niece wouldn't let go of the list! (Which also meant we couldn't see the prices either, but like the saying goes: If you have to ask, you can't afford it!) It took us a while to study the menu. Just like the wine list, the menu has limited selections but offers excellent choices. It was hard to make a decision! We started off sharing Crab Cakes ($18) and Lobster Bruschetta ($21) appetizers, and we also shared an order of the Lobster Bisque ($15). All three of us agreed that the appetizers were yummy, but the Lobster Bisque was worth the trip all by itself! For my entree I ordered the Wild Caught Snapper with mango pineapple salsa and broccolini ($36) and Truffle Fries ($9). Rich went with the Grouper BLT ($26) and Laura chose the Parmesan Cream Pasta ($26) (Which was why she needed a white wine to go with her entree). Portions did not appear to be large, yet none of us were able to finish our entrees, leaving plenty for Rich and Laura to take home in biodegradable containers for a midnight snack. I'm sorry I wasn't quick enough to get pictures of the entrees. Rich and Laura are not used to snapping pics before digging in, but I can tell you they were all well presented. Even though we were all full, we couldn't resist sharing a slice of: SALTED CARAMEL BUTTERFINGER CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE!!! ($12). Just the name tells you everything you need to know. While Rich and I were dueling with our forks, Laura swooped in and ate most of the dessert, which is totally unfair but is a legitimate female perk so there was nothing we could do. Next time we'll order more than one slice! Our perky waitress was extremely busy serving everyone but managed to keep the entire restaurant happy with her service. I don't think I saw her standing still for more than a couple seconds. Didn't get her name, either, but I'm sure the excellent tip told her we were pleased.
