Egg cheese sandwich
Sarah C.

I am so disappointment. I waited so long and had such high hopes. My sandwich was cold soggy yuck. Coffee good tho....

Beet  (my daughter couldn't wait and pulled a beet right out of it)
Vanessa T.

An ideal day for me is to stop here for breakfast and pop over to the beach! Delicious lattes (i just tried the key lime coco) and food. The beet sandwich was to die for and had plenty of thick beets, goat cheese, pistachios and perhaps pesto? My daughter also loved it. Don't know when they added this, but there's a lovely seating area to the right that's perfect for kids with a little toy food truck and astroturf. Clean bathrooms, friendly staff, terrible parking (as is most of Indian Rocks Beach). I've had the bakery before and it's so good but by noon last Sunday, they'd sold out of almost everything because of the spring break rush! Better to get there early.

Chicken Caesar Wrap
Megan D.

Food was good. Restaurant itself has limited seating inside but definitely worth the trip. Coffee was amazing. Quick service for how busy they were. Would definitely go here again!

Something straight out of CA and this CA girl is here for it. Located right across the street from the beach with an open café, order at the bar, find a spot and chill vibe. Great food and coffee. Super cute merch. Parking is tricky , my advice is park nearby and walk. I had the breakfast burrito w bacon and an ice toasted coconut latte and it was delicious. Probably one of the best breakfast burritos Ive ever had. Service was simple and friendly. I will be back!

Salted Caramel Macchiato
Alison M.

Super cute breakfast and lunch spot in Indian Rocks! Grove Surf Cafe absolutely nailed it. The coffee is delicious, ingredients taste super fresh, and there's a dangerously good selection of baked goods. Staff was very friendly and welcoming. I had the salted caramel latte and it was spot on -- flavorful without being overly sweet. The avocado toast was honestly some of the best I've ever had: thick sourdough toast piled high with freshly mashed avocado, pickled red onion, feta, crunchy corn nuts, and radish. Total flavor explosion. We also grabbed the Key lime muffin, which was buttery and soft with a perfect dollop of tangy key lime filling on top. Laid-back, beachy vibes with really thoughtful food and drinks. A must-stop if you're in Indian Rocks.

Breakfast sandwich
Kyle V.

Wow! Fantastic! Delicious breakfast sandwich and well made cold brew. This place was packed as I believe everyone had the same experience. Highly recommend. Staff was friendly. Great seating inside and out.

Come feel all the surfer vibes at this cafe across the street from Indian Rocks Beach. So cute, so fun! The workers were so sweet and there's many options to choose from. They have an adorable section of merch as well which was tempting. I thought the coffee was good but not super strong. Maybe it was just the one I got, though. They do also have food here so you can get a good lunch or other and I'll definitely be back to try that. Such an adorable place that's the perfect stop before or after a beach day, or just for the vibes!

Super cute beachy cafe with outstanding food & coffee! My friends and I were starving after a night out, we were saved by their chicken Caesar wrap. Dressing was fresh, refreshing with perfectly seasoned chicken. The breakfast burrito was so satisfying, creamy with avocado and a huge filling portion. Absolutely delicious 10/10. Fast service too despite being so busy on a Saturday!

Cesar wrap
B M.

Meh. Parking sucks, that seems to be the whole beach area though. Place was underwhelming. Heard great things about it but can't say that was our experience. Food was good but coffee was not. Had a bitter aftertaste that maybe is from a cheaper bean. Parfait bowl, avocado toast and Cesar wrap were good. Unfortunately, I never got to taste the key lime muffins everyone raves about because they had hardly anything available from their baked goods and we didn't get there late. 9 am. Small place that fills up fast so seating can be an issue if you are trying to eat there. Doubt I'd return when there are other options.

Smash Burger
Ivan Q.

5 out of 5. This place rocks and Indian Rocks needs more places like The Grove. The restaurant opens for breakfast at 8 each morning. The line starts forming well before they open, so get here early. We didn't but came for lunch instead. Lunch was the same. Line forms, or maybe never stops (lol), early. We waited about 20 min to order and another 20 to get food. It was well worth the wait. We enjoyed a round of smash burgers with garlic aioli sauce. Out if they world good!! We also shared a Kale Cesar salad. It was so fresh and delicious. Definitely check this place out. It's right up the road from the Indian Rocks public beach parking area.

The best thing at the Grove cafe
Rosie p.

I love the hash browns so so so much Most of there drinks are like coffee and matcha but if you come with a younger kid you can just ask for lemonade it is so so so good

Lauan C.

Wow!! This place has it all - great vibe, wonderful service and amazing food. The sandwiches were so good. The coffees are so great- house made caramel!!! And the bakery items were so delicious

Birthday cake iced latte special
Noelle O.

Grove Surf Cafe never misses. It's a wonderful spot to grab some bites and coffee before hopping across to the beach. The service is on point and is super helpful if you're indecisive to explain which one is the better one to get if you're stuck in between ordering (since everything sounds and is great). This place gets packed, but the ambiance is extremely cute and has beach vibes all around. There's surf boards and wicker decor. If you're in line you can shop around too at their merch (they have got cute stuff). I've been here multiple times, the food is great. Get the breakfast burrito Also pictured (but I believe it's a special) - is the French toast sticks with vanilla cream for their opening anniversary date and WOW was it good!

They have new hours though so to get super fresh treats make sure to come early, as they might run out! They have a few tables and benches outside but we took the treats to the beach across the street. Perfect for a mi ring stroll along the water. The smoothies were delicious and had a lot of options to try. The coffee was good. The treats were amazing and so tasty, and love that they offer gluten free items! What a delight! Would definitely go back and might try it again tomorrow even!

I tried a shaken espresso this past time and something about it tasted really off, not sure if it was too strong or burnt or what the issue was but I didn't finish it because it made my stomach hurt. There were also espresso crumbs at the bottom of the bottle which I have never had happen in that kind of drink before. But again, the pastries are the star here. I've tried their croissants and enjoyed them, and got a turnover this last time and loved it. The shop is super cute and gets real busy. It's not super big so the line builds up and there's not much room to sit or move around. But it's quite literally across the street from the beach so a prime location.

There was everyone from local locals to tourists stopping in! I snagged a spot out on the patio to work and sip on my sugar-free vanilla latte and a cranberry orange muffin - both of which were great! There's not much seating indoors with the line circling around the space. There's a bar seating area along the front window with four seats, but not really an option to sit there when it's very busy. They do plenty of outdoor seating and seating on the screened in patio.

Upon arriving, there was a very long line wrapping around inside and out the door. I waited about 30 minutes in line, but didn't have to wait too long for the coffee to be ready once I ordered. They offer a wide variety of flavors for their coffee, but unfortunately most of those flavor syrups are not housemade. I asked which ones were, and ordered one that uses a housemade sauce (the seasonal cookie butter latte). It was tasty, though I felt that the coffee was a little bitter and the cookie butter flavor didn't come through very much. The cold foam on top was also not very thick, but it was still creamy. It was not bad by any means but I just have other coffee shops in the area that I prefer.

Went to this adorable French bakery for the first time this summer. I've gone to Indian Shores for…read morethe last three years and this was my first time visiting. I got the almond croissant. It was delectable!! So good, in fact, that in spite of there being a multitude of bakeries to choose from in the area, I went back again the next day. And again on my way back home. Five days, three visits. In addition to the almond croissant, I tried their macarons, coconut muffin things (I do not know what they're actually called), and a savory Parisian crepe. Everything was delicious! Every time I went, I got my orders to-go, but they had plenty of room to dine in and a lovely outdoor dining space, as well. The employees were cheerful, happy to help, very sweet. I wish I'd gotten the name of the "traveling artist" employee who made my visits so much better because of her fabulous positive energy. I wish for her happiness for the rest of her days.

This place is really popular. I went at a time when they weren't busy. I ordered a latte and an…read morealmond croissant. The croissant some great, good bake, plenty of almonds but inside was an almond colored cream. Not much almond taste and very messy/lots of it. It was disappointing. As I was driving away I found my latte was more like a coffee with a ton of milk. Latte does not sound like cafe au lait or coffee with a ton of milk. Overall disappointing and won't likely return. I'm guessing it's just popular as it's in IRB walking distance from all the beach rentals.
