    Lilya's Cafe at Cybel--a Moroccan-French café that feels like a warm hug the second you walk in. I ordered the Tiramisu Iced Latte, and let's just say...wow. Smooth, indulgent, and layered with flavor, it's one of the best lattes I've had in the battle so far. Truly dessert in a cup, but perfectly balanced for sipping. The cozy vibes paired with an incredibly kind and knowledgeable barista made the experience even better. Between the atmosphere and the flavors, Lilya might just be my new favorite coffee spot.

    Lilya's is proof again that you can't judge a place by its outside appearance. Lilya's is in an old strip mall desperately in need of some TLC. Once inside, the place is nice & comfortable. The latte offerings are unique. It gets so tiring going places where all they have is vanilla or caramel flavorings. At Lilya's they have pistachio, tiramisu, brown sugar, cardamom, and so on. I ordered the brown sugar & spice latte, & it was excellent on many levels. First the coffee base was mellow & tasty. Second the added flavors were totally complimentary to the coffee. It was a great combination.

    They had a pop up today in collaboration with beach town yoga and all I can say is WOW! How have I not been here before everything was so good. I had their mint tea and got to try a bunch of the food and it was all delicious. The staff at the pop up was so sweet as well!

    The food was excellent. We had some of the different cookies and tried them. The employee was really relatable. Asked us about our day and if we were visiting. Informed us about their evening change to a restaurant. I heard him talking to another customer about WiFi and charging plugs. The atmosphere and seating was well played out. The coffee was delicious. We each got something different.

    Super cute spot with solid coffee! Service was fast and everyone was very helpful and friendly. I don't have coffee out a lot but I would recommend and come back

    I am loving this coffee spot. The staff are so helpful. The drinks are tasty. We had the Moroccan mint latte and the vanilla iced latte. It is a chill vibe.

    I got the cococanado (not sure if I spelled that right!), but it was sooo good!! Essentially a coconut coffee. I am definitely coming back to try their other drinks and food too!

    Got the tiramisu latte and cinnamon bun - both were delicious! Service was fantastic and a great cafe to check out! Definitely want to try their refreshers next time.

    Day time is a coffee cafe, nighttime it is a Mediterranean restaurant. If here early, hot food is quiche and limited pastries. Other menu items are available at 11am. The prices are reasonable, and the vibe is nice. It has indoor and outdoor seating. Also, a small private room for groups of 8?

They have the best teas and coffee in town. You also get to experience a part of history visiting here as Bula is St.Petes original and first Kava bar! The people working and visiting here are so incredibly authentic- it's hard to find anything quite like it. I love Kava bars and in all my experiences traveling visiting them. There is no place like this gem. It's a great place to hang out for the day and truly do whatever. They have a cozy outdoor patio, bar area, indoor cafe, and they recently added an addition in the back with a covered patio area with a fire pit and outdoor couches. They even have a cool game room area that you can hang out in to get some peace and quiet if you're working on a hot Florida day. This place has crazy cool local markets and events they're hosting all the time. So be sure to check into their socials and see what crazy cool stuff this place has going on.

It gives that colorful fun Florida vibe and instantly brings up your mood! We got the spiced orange latte and I didn't love it. The coffee seemed a bit watery but it was iced and usually iced coffee doesn't present the flavors as well as a warm drink so I can't be too picky on that. They added a nice orange slice on top and I'm a sucker for cute little additions like that. The barista was really patient with me and sweet even tho I changed my mind mid order because I saw a different drink. Their to go cups are not simple which I love so they can still be photographed and appreciated. They are very pricy tho, definitely west coast prices instead of east and it wasn't worth it for me but it might be someone else's cup of tea, or cup of coffee!

It was midday on a weekend, (Apr 2026), and they were serving a short lunch menu. We got a handful of savory beef empanadas with strong black brightly flavored espresso, one with a splash of almond milk. We were tempted by their nitro cold-brew, but instead moved on to chomp on fun zingy chili-lime yucca fries with chipotle aioli, completely compatible with ice-cold Pacifica Clara pilsner and Modelo lager from among craft and classics on-tap. This is a pleasant spot for a Saturday or Sunday midday retreat. We gotta come back in the evening (Thu-Sun) when we're cool enough for their speakeasy :-)

My friend met me for dinner last night and from the first interaction with the hostess, to our dining experience with Aaron, the food, and the people watching...it simply got an A+. When I'm dining out, I need equal parts ambience, aesthetics, and the quality of food that hits my palate. The crispness of the Sauvignon Blanc was beautiful. For an appetizer we shared the crispy artichokes and trufflekopita. Both are a must try! They continuously give you a mouthful of flavor and are perfectly seasoned. For our entrees, we got the chicken francaise. The bucatini it was served on was delicious. For sides, we ordered roasted vegetables and OMGGGGGGG, get the Rosemary bread. The cherry on top was our service from Aaron and his recommendations on dishes and accompaniments. Superb all the way around - we will be back!

For this visit, I had the blackened chicken sandwich on an onion ciabatta toasted bun with bacon, lettuce, tomato, and a sweet mustard sauce, served with a side of salt and vinegar French fries. The chicken sandwich was very good. I think a little more blackened seasoning would elevate this to the next level. I also felt the bread-to-chicken ratio was off. There was just too much bread and not enough chicken. The French fries are highly addictive. They also have an excellent selection of cocktails which are awesome! Two of my favorites are the Pink Streets Margarita and the Sunken Gardens. The service is excellent, friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Overall, I am looking forward to coming back to Perry's Porch for another lunch.
