    Coffee & pastry
    Caitlin M.

    I'm obsessed with this bakery! They have just about every single croissant you could think of & more. It took me about 10 minutes just to decide what I wanted. I ended up getting a blueberry one. They heated it up for me as well. For my coffee, I got an iced latte with vanilla. They have tables inside and a couple outside to sit at. They even had small, free samples of an almond croissant. They also have a savory menu for those that want more filling breakfast options. The service was nice and provided to go containers for our treats. Can't wait to come back and try more!

    Cute little French cafe and bakery! There are way too many delicious pastries and baked goods to choose from...we settled on a pumpkin cheese croissant and blueberry croissant and some drip coffee. The croissants were so buttery and flaky! The cream cheese was perfect and not too sweet. Both had just the right amount of blueberry and pumpkin. We were served right away - everyone was super friendly. They even have a couple of tables outside - it was a little chilly today but when it's warmer that would be nice! We will definitely head back and try some of their sandwich and crepe options - again so much to choose from!!

    We celebrated my girlfriend's birthday here Saturday, January 6, 2024. The two young women who helped us order at the counter were friendly and knowledgeable. My girlfriend ordered the buckwheat crepe with cheese and ham, and I got the croissant with egg, ham and Brie. We also got two bakery items to go. Our crepe and croissant were delicious! We helped ourselves to water before and during the meal. Lemon or plain water dispensers were available near us. It's a small place, and somewhat intimate. We enjoyed talking and eating while inside. Jerome's has an outside seating area. When it's warmer, we will definitely eat outside! It's a little pricey, but the food was made for us individually, and all of the ingredients seemed fresh. This was an impressive place!

    When we walked in we were immediately greeted, you have to order up front and they bring your food to you. The servers were nice and answered the questions we had politely. The food came out promptly, the breakfast croissant was light and fluffy, very refreshing. Wanda had the Norwegian crepe and she said the buckwheat crepe was delicious and sweet, the eggs made it filling. The ambiance is open and inviting, cozy and feels like home. One of the cutest places ever thank you for the wonderful experience.

    I've been a fan of Jerome's for a long time. Sadly I was a little disappointed in the new cafe because I loved the waitress service and restaurant feel of the old cafe on Belcher. The new Jerome's doesn't really have the same cozy, hole-in-wall vibe. It's more like a to-go place now. It felt somewhat cramped and uncomfortable. The food is still delicious, don't get me wrong, I'm just a sucker for a specific dining experience so I really missed that about this new cafe.

    Went for lunch with friends. We planned to visit a nearby Thai restaurant that was open on Monday. When we arrived it was closed and web site was closed. So by pure chance we discovered Jerome's. It is a small shop with about 6 small 4-person tables with an eating bar by front window. We were able to grab the only empty table. We perused the menu then proceeded to the counter to order and pay. My wife chose the special Meat Frittata. Our friend and his wife chose the Breakfast Sandwich on Ciabatta bread and the Norwegian Sandwich with smoked salmon on Ciabatta. I decided to try the Mushroom Quiche. We also order drinks and talked while we waited on our food. After awhile, and several customers getting food to go, our food arrived. My wife really enjoyed her Frittata with bacon & ham. My friend also enjoyed his Breakfast sandwich very much, especially the soft bread. His wife however was surprised that her Salmon was smoked, not fried. I guess she thought smoked was too close to raw! So she moved the salmon to second half to eat, and cook, later and had a half egg sandwich. My Quiche was different than any I had ever eaten. Instead of a slice of a Quiche in pie form, the quiche batter was baked on top of a puff pastry. Very different but really delicious. And with so many tempting pastries on display we decided on The Crunch to share. This appeared to be a chocolate coated mousse on a crunchy (wafer?) bottom and it was decadently yummy. Good food, mostly self service, limited space but really great food.

    We were such a fan of the Flying with Jerome on S. Belcher in Clearwater that we decided to stop in. We were there at lunchtime. The interior is rather tight quarters and there wasn't a seat to be had. We looked around and ogled the beautify pastries in the refrigerated display cases. The prices are a little on the high side but look like they're worth it. As, with Flying with Jerome's, the store/restaurant is only open for breakfast and lunch.

    I am glad I do not live super close to Jeromes, or my waistline would be in trouble. I love French pastries... and have not been too impressed by the selections available in the Tampa Bay area! At least, not until today! I went to a Audubon Society Birdwalk at Moccasin Lake Park with my buddy Dave.. and afterwards he suggested Jeromes for a bite to eat. Walked in... and WOW... the pastry display is gorgeous! So many kinds of delicious pastries, and just lovely in execution and appearance! I ordered a Breakfast Sandwich (Croissant) and Mocha to eat there, but got several pastries to go for later. Berry Crumble, a Chocolate Croissant, and an Apricot Cruffin. It was hard to limit myself to that... but I managed. The Pistachio Chocolate Croissant was just tempting me to order it also... but I promised it, next time! The sandwich was delicious, as was the mocha! And I was naughty and ate the Berry Crumble as soon as I got home... and WOW, heavenly! Now I just need to be good and save the other pastries for later.... hahahahahaha! HIGHLY recommended!

    Best croissants in Tampa Bay!

    For those in the know, Jerome is very well respected in this area. His original shop, Flying With Jerome, was hidden, local, amazing, beyond delicious and later sold to a French couple. Now, Jerome has a new spot at the border between Clearwater and Safety Harbor! It's in the shops in the south west corner of Enterprise and McMullen Booth. We were thrilled to find out and try it on the first weekend! Spotlessly clean with incredible pastries, soup, sandwiches and savory or sweet crepes, everything is made from scratch! The croissants are the best you can possibly have! This morning, we braved the small crowd to obtain a full assortment of wonderful treats! Then, it was off to a nearby park to relax with a view and enjoy! Butternut squash soup of the day? Creamy, hot and soothing! A savory crepe with perfectly fried egg, bacon, onion, cheese and sauce? Spectacular! A mushroom and cheese homemade croissant sandwich? Flaky and decadent but light! A Tronut!? Clearly inspired by the famous Cronut from French baker Dominique Ansel in NYC back in 2013! The Tronut is a cross between a tropézienne and a donut and I'm here to tell you, it's amazing! We could not wait for this moment! Life is great with French food made by Jerome!

    I ordered a coffee, a breakfast croissant and a TRONUT to go. I asked for mayonnaise on the breakfast croissant. Instead they served me a package of mayonnaise on the side. Disappointed in that plastic pollution option although the to go order was in paper containers albeit in a plastic bag . However the sandwich was delicious. Haven't tried the pretty tronut yet. my advice would be to skip the coffee. If you're a coffee lover, it is a hard pass. It was very thin, watery with no flavor or substance

    Jerome's is a gem of a cafe located in a shopping plaza in Countryside area of Clearwater. Everything is made from scratch with fresh, quality ingredients. The interior is clean. There's plenty of seating as well. All the times I've gone, Jerome (I assume he is the owner/head chef/ head baker) seems to be the only one preparing the hot foods. If there's a large crowd or you have a large order, you may have to wait just a bit but your patience will be rewarded. In my opinion, they have the best crepes in all of Tampa Bay. They are closed on Sundays. I love and respect that. I've been here multiple times and never had a bad experience. Will be back.

    Almond Croissant - wish I bought three lol.
    Jim V.

    WOW! Finally a real French bakery and cafe'. Nothing like biting into a fresh baked croissant! We ordered the delicious Bacon, Egg, and Cheddar Croissant sandwich with a side of Almond Croissant, OINK! Both were amazingly fresh and delicious. The staff were professional, and the cafe was super-clean. A little nervous that this place is only 8 miles down the road!

    Best brunch in Florida, well Tampa Bay anyway! Home away from home if you're visiting the area, which will start next month!

    French toast- very dry and no seasonings (cinnamon, nutmeg, egg ). Literally toast served with jelly.

    Wow!!! I'm so excited to find this wonderful French bakery in Indian Rocks!…read more We went in for chocolate croissants, and discovered that and so much more. In addition to pastries, they have cookies, macaroons, quiches, crepes, breakfast sandwiches, beverages, and more. You can dine there or take away. Parking can be tough, but there are some free spots in front and alongside. If you are studying nearby and can walk there, that's what I would suggest. They have an efficient service process where you order the counter. The place feels both beachy and French. Such a wonderful find!

    Well third time wasn't the charm. We tried 2 times driving from Tampa. First time it was closed and…read moresecond they were closing early and stop serving. It wasn't bad but also disappointingly not great food wise. Service was pleasant and they brought items out quickly since it wasn't real busy on a Saturday lunchtime. Parking up front was easy. Staff was nice and friendly. Order at the counter and they bring it to your table. Quiche with bacon mushrooms was just ok. Lacked seasoning, richness and depth of flavor. Not bad but not great. The pressed pâté panini with cornichons had a crunch and iceberg lettuce. The croissants missed the laminated butter pastry taste and flakiness. The raspberry beignet wasn't overly sweet but tasted more bready than donut beignet. After that, we still ordered a lemon sugar crepe that missed the mark. It leaned more savory undertones without the lightness, tart and sweetness. More meh. I tried adding more sugar. Was it the lemon in the jar instead of fresh squeezed? The batter? The whipped cream didn't help. Oh well, we tried. All in all folks seem to like it, but I wouldn't really say it's a Parisian cafe or a patisserie that I'd make a long drive. If you haven't had a great French bakery or staying in Pinellas or just want some for the beach, it's great. We were disappointed by expecting more than it was. Unfortunately.
