La Croisette - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - St. Pete Beach, Florida

Since La Croisette, a charming French restaurant, was just a short walk from where we stayed in St. Pete Beach, we decided to have breakfast there one morning. It turned out to be a fun and unique experience. We arrived around 9:00 a.m. and were seated immediately without a reservation or any wait. The restaurant was already very busy, and it seemed like many of the customers were locals, which is always a good sign. I ordered the Chop Sirloin & Eggs ($16.85) with a fruit cup (+$2.50) and a homemade croissant (+$2.50) as substitutions. Everything was delicious. It was my first time having scrambled eggs with Swiss cheese, and I really enjoyed the combination. The homemade French-style croissant was especially fresh, flaky, and buttery, and was one of the highlights of the meal. The service was excellent. Our server was warm, friendly, and attentive, creating a welcoming atmosphere that made breakfast even more enjoyable. After dealing with the stress of traveling, the flight, and adjusting to Florida's hot and humid weather, this relaxing breakfast was the moment when I finally felt like I was truly on vacation. We would definitely recommend La Croisette to anyone visiting St. Pete Beach, especially if you're looking for a cozy French breakfast spot. We'd happily return on our next trip. read more

After driving by several times in the last few months and getting a couple recommendations from friends, a friend and I tried it this morning for breakfast. Unfortunately, the food did fall a little short of the hype. I will say the service was excellent. It's a nice little beach restaurant, a little cramped inside with some outside seating. The breakfast croissant sandwich with grits was average at best. My Spanish Omelette was dry and the peppers were really undercooked. Mushrooms were almost nonexistent. The most biggest disappointment were the sausage patties- incredibly dry and gritty. Overall 3 stars- two except for the excellent service. Maybe lunch is better? Some day I'll give it a try. read more

We got here and were seated immediately, and our food came within 10 minutes of ordering. The food was very tasty, I got an omelette croissant sandwich and it was really fresh and delicious. The home fries are nicely seasoned and very crispy. The ambiance is cute, a pretty typical beachy touristy place. The parking can be tricky in this area so just something to keep in mind. The food is pretty pricy for what it is but that's not surprising for a beach restaurant. Overall yummy and has some unique offerings! read more

We heard many good reviews of La Croisette, especially from a French born woman who worked down the street from it! We went for a late breakfast/brunch and were not disappointed. My wife had the French crêpe with bananas and chocolate, and an egg on the side for protein. I had heard wonderful things about their croissant French toast. So I ordered it and again it was fantastic. I got some sausage along the side. They do have Texas toast style French toast too, and cinnamon bun French toast! We sat outside under the canopy and the atmosphere was fantastic. They are only open for breakfast until 2. We may go back this week while we're in St Pete Beach. Their menu is extensive with crêpes and eggs and your standard American style breakfast along with some lunch sandwiches. Highly recommended! read more

Such a gem in St. Pete - I will def be stopping here every time I visit the area. Sometimes a sweet breakfast is not it for me but La Croisette knows what they are doing. They have very friendly staff and seating inside and outside. From delicious, fresh fruit on the crepes, to the famous tasty, well-seasoned potatoes, La Croisette was IT for me! Definitely a great brunch spot. Will def return and try more! read more

Easy parking, handicapped accessible, and I've been coming here for the past 30 odd years. After rebuilding the restaurant from the last two hurricanes, La Croisette is up to full steam and running full throttle. The staff is attentive as ever. Going into the restaurant around 8:00 AM on a Wednesday morning, the place was slow to steady My friend ordered the Paris Express which consisted of poached eggs, bacon, sausage, ham, Swiss cheese home fries and a hollandaise sauce on top On the side was a croissant. With a sweet tea. I ordered two scrambled eggs, home fries, and toast. With a coffee. Our orders were quick to come out, and my dear friend loved the poached eggs combo. My two eggs arrived, hard scrambled unseasoned, and very flavorless. The home fries look like they were deep-fried from a bag. They were the square cut pieces of potato that were uninviting. I put hot sauce and ketchup on them along with some salt, and they were edible. But here's my bitch, what's with the one slice of toast when this breakfast is $9.00?!!!! Anywhere in the world you go for breakfast you get two slices of toast. Is this place too bougie to give me two pieces of toast? I loved our server, as she knows the town, the product, and the joys of life. So with all said, this is still the go to place for breakfast, and also for lunches as I see the half pound burger is a special. To the owners, two freaking pieces of toast, please. And no, I'm not gonna pay a dollar for another slice. So for this you lose a star. I will return, but I want two pieces of toast, please read more

La Croisette was our last stop before heading home from a girls trip in St Pete Beach. We made a reservation and called ahead to see if we can come in early. The restaurant said yes. When we got there, we were asked if we wanted to sit inside or outside. The inside was very warm so we asked to sit outside waited a minute. Another party that had a reservation to sit outside with seated and we left on the curb to wait for a little while. Which was OK, but ultimately we were taken inside to sit indoors. Our server was so nice. We were a party of 9, very large group and she did a great job. For being voted best breakfast in St Pete Beach I felt like the menu was somewhat limited. The menu does not state they have specialty coffee but when I ask, they did so that was a great surprise. I got eggs Benedict. It was very tasty. The grits were very good too. All in all, I think it was a good experience, giving it a four star only because of how stressed and curt the manager was with our group initially. If I could give them a 4 1/2 stars I would. read more

La Croisette blends casual beach diner and French cuisine in a tasteful, pleasant way. I was super impressed by the friendliness of the staff. I went early in the morning and the waitresses were literally sunshine. The food was equally happy. The sausage Benedict i got was salty, savory and the perfect portion size. I opted for blueberries on the side and they were fresh and tart- yummy! Highly recommend La Croisette. read more

If you're a fan of my previous work, you know I am a no holds barred type of reviewer. The kind that makes you think, "wow, he speaks for me!" or "it's like he can see into my soul". Well, let me just say the little lady and I came here a few years ago and it was great. So great, that when we returned this year, we said to ourselves, "we must try this place and why haven't we before?". Legitimately, if you're looking for a great breakfast place where the breakfast is outstanding, staff is obscenely nice, and the owner walks around like she owns the place, you need to try this restaurant. Actually, the owner walks around checking on everyone to make sure they're happy. For real, my domestic overlord and I drove almost 20 miles to get here again and it was worth it. Definitely try the croissant French toast. It will like, make you question what you've been eating your whole life. It's ridiculously good. Even the omelettes and regular eggs and bacon are really good. Not that we tried all 3 in the same sitting. Actually we did but that's because we weren't going to eat the rest of the day and if you must know, I shop in the husky section of men's wear so it was worth it. If you want a really good breakfast experience, try this place. I dare you to try and say you won't be back. 5 stars. read more

We found this cute little diner on Yelp and had to give it a try! The line was out the door on a beautiful sunny Florida morning, but well worth the wait.

The flavors were fresh, delicious. read more

We visited recently and really enjoyed our experience. The decor was cute, typical of a beach vibes breakfast spot. Service was super quick and friendly. We had an espresso martini and Bloody Mary to drink, both excellent. For food, I had the smoked salmon Benedict and my husband had the hash Benedict. Both amazing! I could tell the hollandaise sauce was homemade. We also had a side of fruit, yummy and very fresh. And the potatoes on the side were delicious. I can't wait to visit St Pete area again so I can have breakfast here read more

A cinnamon roll.. but turned into French toast, sooooo delicious. The croissants are buttery and crispy on the outside, yet soft on the inside. The bacon was cooked to perfection, crispy, not one chewy part which is exactly how I like bacon. The little potatoes were perfectly seasoned. Overall, a must go when in St Pete read more

I've seen this place a few times driving in town and finally got the chance to try it out. I wish I've gone sooner! I got the fried chicken croissant sandwich and a bit disappointed when it came out with chicken tenders on it. The potatoes were the star of the meal. Very well seasoned and crispy. We got a crepe to share that was more toppings than crepe it was so thin. Overall, I'd be back to enjoy another meal here with the outdoor seating and friendly staff. read more

"A reuben on a breakfast menu?" I thought as I perused the pastrami-themed specials. Such actions as to arrange any sort of special deal has to be thought out in advance. The opportunity to launch some protein in my body was irresistible after a workout, so that's where my finger pointed. Lo and behold, one bite reveals why this purveyor has ruled the Gulf-Corey intersection since the end of the Cold War. Maybe it's not just the close-knit feel, the kindness of the waitress, the gentle use of pink to connote caring, or even a ballad from the Captain and Tennille playing on the intercom that defined my visit, but the sandwich... that must have been the topper. Even as I learned of another dining room on the other side of the rosy wall, the feel of neighborhood camaraderie still comprised the heart of this eatery. Although the home fries were a tad softer than I preferred, there was enough salt on 'em that I munched without protest. Bravo, keep the show going! read more

Came here for a late breakfast with my group of friends on a bachelorette trip. We were immediately greeted with smiles and joy. The host seated us right away and helped put a table together for us so we could all fit. The service was quick and efficient! Our server came many times to refill coffee and water we never had to ask. The workers were all so friendly and made us laugh. We all really enjoyed our food. It came out hot and tasting fresh. We all got a croissant breakfast of some variety. The owner came outside twice to ask us how things were going and was very intentional and sweet in conversation. I would highly recommend this joint. They said they are famous for their croissants (which were delicious) and their hollandaise sauce. I got the Florida croissant omelette which had avocado and cheese. It was so good! read more

I made a list of places to eat and visit while celebrating our anniversary and my birthday. La Croisette made the list because I have a slight obsession with all things croissant. La Croisette is conveniently located right on Gulf Blvd. It can not be missed with its pink exterior, bright blue canopy and checkered floor outdoor seating. It has parking in the back. Not much & a little tight, but parking nonetheless. We were greeted immediately. Given the choice of where to sit. "Anywhere that's open" Not much was open. Lots of guests. We chose a nice table, corner window. Our server greeted us immediatly, offered me cofffe, "yes, please" My husband is the king of apple juice. The menu has plenty of offerings. Eggs in any form, scrambled, omelettes, benedict, even quiche. They also offer breakfast burritos, pancakes and waffles. But croissants are king here. Not toast. They serve drinks of all kinds, juices, coffee, hot tea, iced tean, milk, hot chocolate milk and milk. They also serve cocktails, mimosas, bloody marys, etc. And although, not on the menu they also offer specialty coffees like mocha lattes. We ordered, I got the croissant sandwich, which is two eggs scrambled with anything you want, ham, veggies & cheese, in between sliced croissant. My husband went with home fries, scrambled eggs with cheese and croissant as his "toast". The food is ok. The positive, big portions for the price. I like to feel full and satisfied. The food was hot. Negative, the eggs were a little to over done for me, but maybe I should have specified. The home fries were nice and crispy, loved the big chunks of onions, peppers and mushrooms. The croissant lacked flakiness and flavor. They were so bland. I doubt they are made in house, which is not a big deal, but wherever they get it from, they reheat in the microwave. That makes them limp. The coffee was also not good. It was disappointing. I ate it, I was hungry. But if they were to read this, I would suggest they improve on croissants and coffee. The service is good. We were checked on frequently. Our server was friendly. read more

This is the cutest little modern style French inspired beachside diner. They open super early so perfect for the early birds. They serve the typical diner breakfast fare & some lunch items but they close super early also. It's a very popular place with the locals as we saw the same people every morning. Some very very sweet mentally challenged lady kept trying to get me to try her burrito every morning. She told me she has it every morning, it's her favorite. So adorable. What a fan club! haha. We were just as enthusiastic fans of the crepe with their fabulous giant fruit cup side, but not the coffee, the coffee is terrible, just diner coffee, Ice tea with fresh lemon was lovely as was the service. The back room with the mod artwork is also a lovely place to take a meeting/zoom call. It's quiet back there & has awesome natural light. The one thing I did find on the menu that I did LOVE is the traditional Green salad with grilled chicken. The "JOAN OF ARC" or "salade de poulet" w/choice of dressing (oil & vinegar pictured) was perfectly seasoned on top of super fresh greens/veggies. It comes with your choice of dressing, moi got oil & vinegar, then, balsamic vinaigrette. You def want the balsamic vinaigrette. The "JOAN OF ARC" or "salade de poulet" is a great Value at $13 & a perfectly healthy & super delicious light lunch, très magnifique OuiOui. "JOAN OF ARC" Salade de poulet, all the way.

Actually red some reviews and saw the menu on Yelp before going. Didn't look too bad. We were expecting a French ambiance. The Ambiance instead was a typical small diner. We were seated immediately on arrival and quickly provided menus and water. Our group of 4 ordered a variety of dishes: 1. Croissant sandwich Mom report: "The croissant didn't taste fresh. Did they get them at Costco? And everything was greasy." 2. The banana Nutella crepe Son report: "It was great." Dad observation: He didn't finish his bacon. He always finishes his bacon. Son clarification: "it was too crispy. Like it was fried or something. Weird" 3. Waffle Daughter report: "It was good. I feel it was a little under done. Dad observation: I've seen better at a Holiday Inn breakfast buffet. She also didn't finish her bacon. Again, weird. 4. The Crepe Delight Dad report: The quick way to make a dish unmemorable is to cover it with so much whipped cream and chocolate sauce that everything just tastes like that. This was basically a crepe with fruit salad dumped on top. When I actually tasted crepe it wasn't too bad. But that was few and far between. I also got a side of potatoes and requested to add onions. What I received is potatoes with some barely grilled onions dumped on top. And it also tasted a bit greasy. Our take away is that is a restaurant making standard diner fair, which is nothing to write home about, while claiming to be something more. How do you say 'wolf in sheep's clothing' in French? read more

Yelp did not eat first... haha. We ordered the hangover omelet croissant, and the cinnamon roll french toast, both which were generously portioned and full of flavor.

My favorite eat in the St Pete's area! The croissants are famous for a reason, but you can't go wrong with anything you get on the menu. I went with the Hangover omelet opting for home fries - highly, highly recommend. Ever on a Sunday morning with the farmers market going on, we were quickly seated and promptly served. Multiple members of the staff came to check up on us throughout our meal. There were also plenty of tables outside out of the sun.
