    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!

    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!

    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.

    Egg, Muenster and sausage

    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.

    Cherry Cheese Plait

    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.

    Cute spot, yummy pastries. Better get there early, it gets busy! There is parking, a big lot.

    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!

    Nothing better than the smell of fresh baked goods before you walk in at 8am. Pleasant seating inside and out with water view. Always greeted with a smile!

    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.

    Came for coffee and a pastry which were both delicious. Many flavored syrups to choose from and waterfront views.

    And the view.

    A lovely St Pete Beach gem. Bakery-restaurant-shop all in one, you can pick up an inexpensive coffee or stay for lunch. I tried the Colette, a brie, tomato, pesto, and dried tomato sandwich served on an authentic baguette: delicious! Take a seat at the window and spend a peaceful moment escaping from the usual consumerism of nearby tourist hotspots. My service was sunny and pleased to help a newcomer. A little harder to see, as you must go to the back of the strip mall, but well worth it. Will return.

    Cappuccino, chocolate hazelnut plait and egg sausage muenster breakfast croissant
    Ben B.

    Stopped in for a quick bite before heading to Ft DeSoto. I chose the sausage egg Muenster croissant , hazelnut chocolate plait and cappuccino. I didn't know they would flatten the heck out my breakfast sandwich and it could have used some salt in the eggs but other than that, I'd come again. Nice ambience and we need to support non corporate food establishments.

I enjoyed sitting outside, right by the beach, at a very sunny picnic table with an umbrella for partial shade. Bring your sunscreen as I did and all is well! It was fun to take in the whole slightly chaotic but totally safe family-friendly scene on a holiday morning! Energizing! Parking is a challenge but hey, I like to walk and explore so I had fun with it. Just be aware, some searching for a public or nearby parking spot may be required. Carpooling or ride sharing is recommended if possible. I'm on a strict no-fried-food, no chemicals, no preservatives, no gluten, no sugar, no dairy diet so choices for breakfast were limited as expected. All good. I enjoyed my properly cooked eggs and the lady who took my order was kind and helpful. I should have ordered the fruit bowl as well but I didn't see it on the menu until now. No problem! Next time! My guests also said their paradise omelets were properly cooked and delicious! Our food also was prepared in a very reasonable amount of time considering the crowd which was impressive! Please do not expect eggs Benedict, table cloths and fancy plates. This is a fun place right on the beach with plastic silverware and styrofoam containers. @Peter and Vandana joined for the meal and we laughed, relaxed, ate, chatted, took in the scene, enjoyed the morning and then... Vandana brought out the huge conch shell. I was first to attempt tooting the massive horn but it just wasn't happening. Peter was a bit better than I. Vandana, on the other hand, warned ships well over the horizon that we were here and ready for fun! Kids jumped and clapped their hands. Adults stared in stunned silence. Everyone was deafened. My Apple Watch warned me of dangerous audio conditions that might cause permanent hearing damage if the sound kept up! It was an awesome and skilled display of awesomeness! This was no simple toot. It was a blast! Thank you Vandana! Memorable to say the least! Plus, I can still hear just fine and dandy. Life is a blast with a fun and very memorable meal on the beach! Thanks Paradise Grille!

The views are beautiful, and the location is right on the beach. There are plenty of spaces in the lobby for working, plenty of meeting rooms (or ball rooms if you're there for a formal event), and areas to just relax or work. The resort provides live music various days of the week as well. I will say that I was surprised about the lack of dining options. There is a lobby bar (which doesn't open until 3pm), and just two restaurant options. Maritana is only open a few days a week and not open until 5:30pm, although the lobby bar does serve a few small plates. The Society Table has a bar within their restaurant (Rowe Bar I believe), and I experienced both as they both have different menus. The lobby bar menu is small but great; the Wagyu Sliders and charcuterie board were both delicious. The wine list is fairly extensive as well. I dined at the society table for lunch on the day that I left and I got the Gumbo with jalapeño cornbread. This was very delicious; I do feel there should've been more than a few pieces of chopped up shrimp. My waitress was wonderful though and very kind as well as the hostess. For the days we were provided food by the resort for the work conference, I was very impressed! All of the breakfast, lunch, and dinner options were incredibly extensive, fresh, and delicious. The servers were very attentive and helpful. The room service menu although overpriced and included a $5 "delivery charge," is very extensive and tasty. For example, an omelet with toast (small salad included with the omelette), was almost $60 including tip. That being said, it was the best omelette I've ever had. The guest services for room service and the cleaners were incredibly friendly and helpful, especially Evan! Do note that this is a cashless resort. There are a few shops on the first floor for souvenirs, basic necessities for traveling, and then an adorable little shop/café with ice cream, coffee, wine, snacks, and drinks. On to the room! I really enjoyed my room. I feel like for one person or even two, it's a pretty spacious room. The bed was very comfortable as well as pillows. They cleaned my room each day, and provided new towels. The bathroom was clean and a decent size for one person. All of the events that the hotel put on for our conference were outstanding. We had a welcome party and a beach party, and I was incredibly impressed. The food was delicious, the staff incredibly attentive and kind, and the music wonderful! The Don CeSar was the perfect place for our conference and I would highly recommend a company conference there. Between the delicious food, impeccable service, beautiful resort, and location right on the beach, I would recommend this spot for an event, quick getaway, or staycation.

Parking is minimum $50 a day + fees. A cocktail? For an hour? Haha no. I'm being mildly disingenuous. The bar staff (and likely restaurant staff) will give you a QR code to validate all $58 of your parking. But it made me acutely miss a time when you could just park and patronize an establishment. Just don't forget to validate your parking, cuz they sure didn't ask preemptively. They were celebrating a 3-day grand reopening when we went on Saturday. There was *one* artisan in their market space. The music was pumping loud enough to not be able to converse. Although it drew a crowd of younger folks, there was not much to behold from the "grand" reopening. Not even s cost of paint. The beach bar may not have been part of the sprucing up idk, I didn't see anything worth celebrating. I meant to look at the size of the cocktail cup that we got (small), but $13-14 for a cocktail is highway robbery for the end result. And $18 for 6 wings ($3 a wing) was a little disappointing. I expected better of a Hilton adjoined restaurant. No one part was terrible. It was just the way they matched up - loud, expensive, small portions. If you're loud maybe you're cheap and tasty. If you're expensive, maybe you're fast and delicious. This was all the worst parts of a bar that doesn't care about its patrons' economics. A bar that wants to serve tourists with mediocrity and move on to the next crop of people who will never be there again. If you're a tourist it'll probably be fine, if overpriced. If you're a local, don't bother. To be fair, we should ask if there was anything good. hm ... no. We won't be returning. 3 stars is probably generous.

    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.

    SOLID 5 STARS! My…read moreniece, Laura, and her partner, Rich, are visiting from Chicago. 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.
