    Uptown Breakfast Bowl
    Suzanne W.

    Visited location after cycling around town with friends. Came highly recommended. Food was amazing, service was exceptional! Can't wait to visit again to try other items.

    Grits bowl and Uptown Breakfast sandwich

    Went twice this week alone! Everything is delicious, and consistent- from the coffee drinks to the pastries. Today we had the Uptown sandwich and Grits bowl. Both fantastic. It gets VERY busy on the weekend, so be prepared for a short wait Well worth it though. Staff is very nice and helpful. Don't sleep On this place!

    Jam on it sandwich always hits the spot and a bacon eggs with grits are to die for.

    You order first the find a seat, we ordered the jam on it and a bacon egg and grits plate. Then the house black coffee and uptown Latte, it's so yummy to have as a treat. You can't miss their lunch special with their soups on special days. Worth checking out.

    Indoor and outdoor seating caters to everyone

    Best food experience this year (and yes I know it's late October!) Dan and his staff serve up the tastiest, innovative, and fresh food in an unassuming, centrally located, modern diner-style restaurant in St Pete. Their specialty is breakfast and lunch, but a few times a year they open for dinner and it is ALWAYS EPIC. This time was no exception! I brought two friends from Boston with me for the October Feast, and they were delighted! We wanted to order everything from the special menu (see photo) and settled on Pierogies, Muenster mash grilled cheese (with mushrooms and onions... my favorite of the evening!), the pumpkin chili, and the schnitzel with potatoes and purple cabbage. Every single dish was so delicious, there wasn't a morsel left on anyone's plate. Today, my friends are still raving about the meal and planning their next visit to try out the regular menu. Many thanks to Dan and his staff for a wonderful evening! (Note that my only regret is that my photos can't properly convey the incredible smell and taste for all of you!) P.s. I'm craving the purple cabbage today... who knew cabbage could be an addictive vegetable?

    The breakfast sandwiches were fire! It took a while to order, but it wasn't a big deal. Food came out relatively quickly. My only complaint is that I was not very full after the sandwich, but it was still really good!

    Found a little neighborhood gem in St.Pete that we drove to today for brunch! Some indoor and outdoor seating available after you place your order at the register. We enjoyed the pancakes and the Uptown sandwich (egg, tomatoes, greens, cheese and sauce) as well as an iced toffee coffee and they use Monin syrups (The Best!)! The staff is super friendly and a lot of regulars were greeted by name! They are a part of the In Kind app so you can earn a % of your total back! A fun experience! It's got earthy vibes and the seating is such that you can carry in a conversation with your neighbor and meet new people.

    House Latte .... YUM!

    Uptown Eats is amazing! Hands down the best coffee I've had in St. Pete on any of my visits. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. We enjoyed sitting outside since the weather was absolutely perfect -- such a great atmosphere. Highly recommend this spot, and I will definitely be back!

    Cutest place with the best food! I got the greens bowl and iced coffee and my husband got the uptown and caramel iced coffee and both were amazing. I didn't want to finish lol. The owners were awesome as well. We're from out of town but will def be back here on our next visit! I wish we had this back home!

    Toffee Coffee
    Bob N.

    Quaint little bistro tucked just outside of downtown, Uptown Eats is a charming spot that punches well above its weight. I started with the Toffee Coffee, which lived up to its name--both bitter and sweet, with a rich and creamy kick that made for a bold wake-up call. For breakfast, my companion ordered two eggs with non-sausage gravy and a jalapeño cheddar scone (there were lots of biscuit and scone options, but she went spicy). The soft scrambled eggs were a standout--whipped smooth and perfectly blended with creamy Gouda. Paired with a small side of fruit--just enough watermelon and a slice of orange to brighten the plate--it was balanced and satisfying. The Hot Hot Heat sandwich was a monster. Over-easy egg with a gloriously oozing yolk, chorizo, and fresh jalapeños packed real heat and flavor. Not for the faint of heart! Yes, it took a little while to get our food, but the thoughtful prep and attention to presentation made it more than worth the wait. Uptown Eats is the kind of place you plan to linger--and you'll be glad you did.

    Unsweetened Iced Green Tea
    Ali C.

    This place is awesome every time! I enjoyed a grit bowl and jalapeño cheddar scone for brunch today. I appreciate that they have 3 flavors of unsweetened ice tea.

    Aerated iced espresso with honey and lemon
    Skylar W.

    I love Uptown Eats! Highly rated for good reason :) I panic ordered the exact same thing I got last time I was here and I remembered liking it more last time- everything here looks so good and I'd be excited to try something new next time. I got the Uptown bowl- I thought the potatoes were a little bland that day but I liked everything else in it! The real star of the show for me was the COFFEE! I ordered the iced aerated espresso which piqued my interest because I'd never seen an aerated coffee on a menu before. It has no milk, just sweetened lightly with honey and lemon. It was fantastic- perfect amount of sweetness for me and just such a unique bevvie. Would 100% order again! The woman who brought us our coffees told me that she actually came up with the menu item. She was so nice! Hopefully more to come!

    Great experience at Uptown Eats in downtown St Pete. The service was very friendly and welcoming. The breakfast sandwiches were delicious and the scone was fresh and flavorful. The hot chocolate was rich and comforting. Overall a really nice spot for a casual breakfast.

    House latte

    Went to a friends wedding here and was thoroughly impressed with the venue!…read more Since it's located in downtown St Pete, I was initially concerned about parking- but no worries- they had a private lot next door that was reserved for wedding guests. The ceremony was set up beautifully in a room that had the nice architecture of a chapel without the religious undertones. Cocktail hour was held downstairs in the basement area, while the transformed the ceremony area into the reception area. Staff was friendly, drinks were flowing, and a good time was being had by all. Even though the reception was in the same room as the ceremony, the refreshed set up with the tables and lighting totally transformed the room. There was a large area for a buffet, bar and eventually- dance floor. There's a lot of historic character to this venue- wood floors- wide baseboards, nice archways. Was a great choice for a wedding!

    I had been dreaming of a wedding in Tampa, so stopping into this St. Pete venue seemed like a waste…read moreof time. I walked in and quickly changed my mind. My (now) husband and I completely fell in love with the Lyceum after walking in. The venue has a beautiful 1920's charm to it. From the beautiful chandeliers to the grand piano to the gorgeous balconies, the Lyceum is truly on of a kind. The way this place functions is really interesting, too. The ceremony and reception are held in the same spot. After the ceremony, the party proceeds downstairs to the basement for cocktail hour when the staff flips the upstairs into a reception area. The space looks like two completely different rooms, but completely beautiful in their own way. I must mention the staff. Brian and Cortney were both so easy to work with. They made sure my wedding day went like clockwork and were very attentive to all of my questions. I could not recommend the Lyceum more highly. What a spectacular venue!

    SOBER CONSUMERS BEWARE: Unethical Billing & Negligence My…read morehusband and I are AA members with 36 yrs sobriety and visited this venue on 11/23/2025. My husband explicitly ordered two plain, non-alcoholic tonic waters. The bartender negligently poured vodka into both glasses instead. When the error was caught, the bartender apologized profusely, admitted the mistake, and explicitly stated the order was "on the house." In good faith, my husband handed the bartender a $10 cash tip for correcting the issue, and we left. We were never given an itemized receipt. Later, I discovered The Floridian Social charged my credit card an outrageous $66.04 anyway. I disputed the charge through my bank in January, forcing a partial refund of $27.82. However, the venue is actively fighting to keep the remaining $38.22 balance. Management responded to my formal regulatory complaints by claiming they don't record audio on their security cameras, so they refuse to honor their own employee's verbal agreement. They pocketed a $10 cash tip and are unethically forcing a bank dispute over $38.22 for two plain, non-alcoholic club sodas because they got caught serving alcohol to a sober customer. Extremely deceptive billing practices and zero accountability. Check your credit card statements very carefully if you visit this place.
