Southside Coffee Brew Bar in St. Petersburg - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Incredible coffee. I just have regular drip coffee with cream, no sugar, and the layers of flavor present in the coffee from this place was complex, perfectly balanced, and incredibly fresh. That, combined with really great staff and a great location, was enough to keep me coming daily for my short visit to the area. Good luck and I'll be back if I'm ever around! World class.

The little place is adorable! The outdoor area was cute and lively. Everything looked so yummy. I got an iced matcha with vanilla and a blueberry oat bar. The matcha was so good, I don’t know if they do something special to their matcha but it was better than others I’ve had. The oat bar was good and not very sweet, it reminded me a blueberry crumble that you bake at home. I loved it and will be back often!!

Friendly folks behind the counter who were able to accommodate my anaphylactic nut allergies. That means a lot! A lovely outdoor area with lots of shade. And, the matcha drink was superb. I highly recommend.

Great staff and amazing coffee ☕️

Great coffee spot on 6th Ave S. Nothing like it in the area

My coffee was delicious and the owner and everyone there was super nice.

I just got back from Sicily and was looking forward to getting a decent cup of coffee. Sounds ridiculous, I know, but I didn't find the coffee to be what I imagined it would be in the little cafes. Sheila suggested a double shot Macchiato and it was perfect! Thanks so much for providing an excellent coffee bar for us Southsiders, Sheila!!

We got the hand towel sandwich, a brain magic drink, and a mocha magic drink. Everything tastes amazing and the atmosphere was so laid back and friendly. Definitely give this place a try, you won't regret it!

This place is small but so cute! The staff were friendly and knowledgeable! It felt like right out of a book, the perfect little local spot to grab a coffee and a pastry at the start of an adventure 🩷 I had an iced mocha and their tiramisu cinnamon roll, which were both DIVINE!! Im travelling for work and visit the area every year, and this definitely will be a mandatory return spot for me!

The food, coffee, and teas are amazing!! Staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is great! Gluten free options were so good!!

Great people, great service, great coffee and food

This place is an absolute gem! We love coming here for the gluten free pastries, and their drinks are delicious!! It is dog friendly as they have outside seating and while we were there there were some dog treats available.

Had an onion bagel and their magic mocha she made it cold and it was so good.

Cute place yummy pastries, good tea and coffee helpful staff.

Out go-to coffee spot on weekends. Chill atmosphere, awesome service, great coffee and bakery. Highly recommend.

Great lil spot! Cronuts are amazing if they’ve got em & quality espresso. Friendly service too.

Update : Second visit. Totally different vibe. Different staff - apathetic, bordering on unfriendly. Customers out front foul mouthed and inescapably loud. Table next to us w / large dog whose owners thought it was charming when it nosed our table... and our food. Two of three shade umbrellas not up. Good food, but not good enough to counter balance the atmosphere. No reason to return. Original : Nice. Their now closed neighbour was our go-to after events at Boyd Hill, so decided to give it a try. Wish we had gone sooner. Clean and well maintained. Croissant sandwiches were well made, fresh, and tasty. Looking forward to trying other items. Ordered two different coffees and were happy with both. Staff nicely low key.

My favorite coffee spot when visiting St. Pete

Fast, efficient, friendly and they make a great cappuccino! Was surprised and excited to learn they had vegan baked goods too. Had a stressed topped roung cake that was still freshly warm from the oven. Would highly recommend this spot

Nice little neighborhood coffee shop. It has some small eats as well as coffees, kombucha, as well as some CBD for your drinks if you choose

We had Cold Brew on Nitro tap, Iced Green tea with agave. pumpernickel everything bagel and vegan blueberry oat bar. everything was delicious!

Best coffee in the hood! Great local spot where everyone knows your name! Whether you are traditional and just want a hot coffee or want something a little more fun like the French Latte or my personal favorite, the Magic Mocha, you can’t go wrong here!

Some of the best coffee I’ve had, great service , the owner is awesome and knowledgeable. Vegan breakfast options that are delicious!

Wonderful service and great coffee, with plenty of seating outside.

People I work for purchased this property..( Munch')..and the rest of commercial buildings..haven't been in yet..but hear great reviews..and the place is ALWAYS slammed..which suggests to me..great coffee..hope to try soon..and update..

Amazing place if you love different coffees and teas

Friendly, great coffee drinks, my dog likes it here. They also sell cool t shirts and the best local honey.

Very nice coffee place. I didn't care for the gluten free bagels.

They really know good coffee and other yummy bites (some Gluten Free and Vegan too!) Plus they carry premium CBD (CR World), mushrooms and kratom for wellness.

Whenever I travel, I always love to scout out the local coffee spots. This is THAT spot. Authentic, great customer service and reasonably priced. Oh- and excellent coffee. I highly recommend trying their cold brew.

It’s super quiet over here and my iced latte was in my hand in under a minute from when I ordered it and tastes amazing with nothing added to it. Friendly baristas 😊 Well worth driving through downtown for this. Thanks!

This place is not just another regular coffee shop!!!!!! It is far above average. They have delicious mushrooms elixirs and coffees and mouthwatering pastries including delicious vegan options!!!!

It was a cold day so we had to sit outside and there's no room inside for seating is the only reason I gave a low stars on atmosphere. But the coffee was amazing. Really good drink menu options. I had the mexican mocha which was sweet hot and tasty! My partner had the vanilla latte which was equally as delicious!

Finally made it down here & it was worth it. Cozy little spot with good espresso & a great croissant breakfast sandwich.

Love this place! The best coffee on the southside. Vegan pastry options. The London smog is lovely.

Very good cappuccino and atmosphere

Quaint and fully enjoyable. service excellent!

Cute little coffee shop that almost felt like a hidden gem. We were visiting St. Pete's and were looking for somewhere to get breakfast, we were going to the diner next door but we stumbled across this coffee shop. It was 8 of us and we love small, family owned places so we had to check it out. Most of us ended up getting the Mexican Mocha and let me tell you, it is truly incredible. I 1000% recommend it. A few of us got different menu items and everyone was extremly satisfied. Highly recommend this place!

So…they need to work on their customer service skills. Been here twice. Both times was just a bad experience. The women who work behind the counter just seem to have issues with anyone who isn’t just like themselves. Kind of mean interactions they’re quick to jump on people, are argumentative and then if they don’t like you they’ll stand around and just ignore you refusing to take your order. I’m a clean cut guy who came here twice with my lady friend and left on the second visit because they just didn’t want to acknowledge my existence and didn’t want to take my order. On the first visit they made a point to argue with my girlfriend whose not the type of person to be involved in conflictive conversations. All in all they arent welcoming at all and have are far too passive aggressive towards the public for me to feel welcome there ever again. Went there twice was bad both times. They need customer service training.

My husband and I love to go here daily. Sheila bakes her own gluten-free and vegan pastry options, and they're amazing! We love to catch up with fellow South side friends and neighbors here. It's a very welcoming and friendly atmosphere.

I love this place. I drive from north saint Pete almost every weekend and get the Mexican mocha!

This is my absolute favorite coffeehouse. Best coffee ever (need it daily) and such a friendly vibe.

Love this little coffee shop where the owner makes the treats herself! The vegan blueberry oat bar was so big I could only eat half and had to take it to go! It's tiny inside so there a seating area in the front but the traffic noise isn't conducive to relaxing. They also had gluten-free items. I found it to be a bit pricey overall but I like to support other small businesses when I can.

Fun neighborhood coffee place. Excellent coffee, nice atmosphere

Update Decided to go again could not be not pleased with the service and coffee. I am so happy I came again. First time in here was today. The cashier assumed I was trying to skip the line when I’m fact she just didn’t acknowledge me when I arrived. Made the experience completely awkward I will not be going back

Locally owned coffee shop with super friendly staff. Among the pastries and drinks, they also sell some local grown/made items - honey, elderberry syrup and more.

Hidden gem and one of the southside’s best kept secrets. Quality coffee and friendly staff.

I love this place. Great coffee, and vibe. If you want some good coffee from friendly people go here. I get the jumbo cold brew, so that I have extra for later! Then go next door to Munch’s for breakfast! Note: they have some cute outdoor seating.

The cold Mexican - mocha had an awesome twist of spice. I didn't even realize they warmed up coffee roll. This Connecticut visitor highly recommends 👌🏽💯🔥

Love it here! Sheila and her crew are the best. Nice outdoor seating. The bagels are great.

Visiting from Illinois and stopped in for coffee and a pastry. I must say each were excellent and the people had a great way of making you feel at home! Going back today!

Best coffee!! Friendly service :)

Seriously hands down the best F*%#@&! coffee in Saint Pete. The biscotti’s?!….. *chefs kiss* Need a puppacino? They got your furry friend covered. They are def paw approved in our house. Do yourself a favor and skip the long chain lines. Luv ya’ll

love this place! nitro is amazing as well as the service!

Absolutely one of the best coffee houses in St. Petersburg. Love the staff who are very helpful and knowledgeable about the products they sell. Excellent coffee selections and cool vibe!

Great coffee and a cute, friendly outdoor environment! The best coffee shop in st petes

Cute place love the coffee friendly staff.

Visiting from NJ and found this great little coffee shop! Great coffee and pastries. The Vegan and GF items were delicious!!

After a beautiful sunrise at St. petersburg I was looking for a place to have coffee and quick breakfast to eat. I came across Southside coffee and decided to have Coffee Nip and bagel with cream cheese after browsing through the menu. The order was prepared successfully by the owner and I got my order in 5-10 minutes. The coffee was freshly brewed and it was hot and delicious. I loved the bagel as well as it was tasty and delicious with cream cheese spread. Loved this coffee shop.

Southside coffee brew bar is the only funky, fun, creative, eclectic, yummy place to hang out and have a delicious gluten-free baked good and a completely unique type of drink such as my new favorite called the London fog. If you've ever seen the show Cheers where "everybody knows your name" that's what this coffee bar reminds me of, a very friendly place where people actually put their phones down, look up to smile and say hello and proceed to have an authentic conversation with you. I'm so grateful to Sheila and Brian and the other staff for creating this special space and keeping it real! Come on down to southtown to have a delicious drink and meet your Southside neighbors!

I observed the kitchen SEVERAL times 👀 going in and out of the back door. And upon RE-ENTERING the kitchen SEVERAL times 👀 The kitchen staff DID NOT WASH their hands. I observed one walk outside .. RE-ENTERING without washing hands once again after retrieving food from an outside walk in Freezer .. With a container and no gloves 🧤 Dish towel hanging out his pocket .. Which was used to wipe down the tables. NOW They serve excellent food .. EAT AT YOUR OWN RISK⚠️⚠️

The brain elixir aka hangover cure is my savior! I drink ceremonial grade cacao personally so seeing it served to the masses makes me really happy! I drink it with oat milk, cacao is best with alternative milk to maximize it's benefits. Cheers!

The perfect iced caramel latte every time, and make sure to try the double chocolate chip muffin!

Southside's mexican mocha is out of this world :)

Staff is friendly and efficient. I had iced tea that were brewed per glass. It was exquisite. I highly recommend. I had a gluten free blueberry bundt cake. It was a lovely treat.

My goto coffee spot, great staff !

I have been here everyday for more than a year. It’s good, just what you want in a neighborhood coffee shop. No BS pretension, just good people and good coffee.

Love this spot, i try to go a few times a week its a drive for me but worth it. Great coffee, pastries and even better staff

Sheila knows her stuff when it comes to espresso/coffee, I encourage you to support small businesses like her’s.

Come in, have a reliably great nitro cold brew or latte out front, and meet good people. If in doubt, call ahead to make sure the barista isn’t on vacation (the only time things aren’t good).

Doesn't get any better than this local Gem. Everything you want, and nothing you don't. Mexican Moca Iced coffee is definitely worth trying!

The only non-chain coffee shop in the neighborhood. Great offerings and they have outdoor seating.

Fabulous coffee! Very nice customer service, my new favorite place, just moved here from Illinois, so happy we found you !

This is literally the "Best Coffee in the Hood" Sheila is amazing and she always picks the best employees, who you look forward to seeing each morning (shout out to Brian, but each one over the years has been fantastic)! Her croissants are delicious and baked (NOT microwaved). The Magic Mocha is a fabulous cure to the Mondays, making you feel invigorated and refreshed, with a touch of cacao sweetness. A must taste in St. Pete!

Southside Coffee makes the world a better place. Amazing coffee, phenomenal vibes and the owner Shelia and the main barista Bryan are just divine humans. Enjoy! 🌸

Delicious coffee and they have Mother Kombucha on tap! Lots to try, great local spot with good parking. I look forward to coming again!

This place is everything you look for in a coffee bar. Outside seating is cozy. The drinks are amazing. I loved the cinnamon coffee cakes. We got coffee there almost every morning of the trip. They also have created some unique shirts for purchase.

Wow, talk about good vibes and great coffee. This is a southside Saint Pete darling! Do yourself a favor and help yourself to their excellent selection and taste.

The best coffee on the planet and the sweetest staff.

Wonderful staff and really good coffee. It keeps me coming back every morning. They have these beautiful blue and white umbrellas to sit under that makes me feel like I’m in Europe sipping my coffee

Best place for a good tasting coffee and a friendly staff 👌

This is a not-so hidden gem! Friendly staff, amazing coffee, and yummy snacks!

Hand crafted excellent coffee and great pastries.

Just a really nice bunch of hippies. lol, and I mean that in the best way possible! This place has delicious coffee and sweets to offer. Careful if you have a nut allergy like me though. Definitely a place to try and love.

Lovely owners 🥰 coffee is really the best in the hood and the gluten free donut is yum! Highly recommend this place.

Cozy little coffee shop and also serves alcohol. The coffee is great and bakery is alright. Surprisingly, the price is comparable or higher than downtown St Pete. If I am in the area and need a good cup of coffee, sure I will stop by, but if I need to drive 10 minutes for a good cup of joe, then there are better choices.

Excellent coffee!! Great service.

I moved to my apartment a couple blocks away from this place in July. I had eaten at the diner nextdoor (Munch’s) and saw it and wanted to check it out, but for some reason I never did. Well about a week and a half ago I FINALLY went in there and I am SOOOO glad I did. The owner Sheila is so incredibly sweet and makes A KILLER macchiato! Everyone there has always been very kind and very compassionate about what they do. My drink is always made EXACTLY they way I want it and it’s served with a smile. They have a HUGE selection of different teas and coffee, as well as CBD, Kratom and other health benefactors you can add to your drink. Sheila uses all natural sugars and the BEST coffee. I am SOOOOO glad I finally went in there, and even happier that it’s so close to my house.

Very nice place you sit outside , the staff was friendly and informative. I will go back again and that was my first visit there.

Southside is definitely the best coffee spot in the area. The espresso and food are awesome and the service is outstanding. They even offer gluten free options!

Lovely space in & outdoors, with a great selection of coffee & teas.

Excellent neighborhood coffee bar great service extremely friendly staff highly recommend

Always great coffee/morning goodies to eat. Shelia is a delight and the comaradeire with others makes you feel so relaxed here. Great addition to our "burg"!

Good white chocolate lattes with soy. My go to places for good flavored strong lattes.

Best coffee ever in St.petersburg! Undefeated! 👍🏾✊🏿

Always great service, best coffee in south St.Pete and casual atmosphere

Let's start here: they have a Mushroom shot that was explained to me like this : you will experience euphoria and focus. Give it 20 minutes. You will feel good. So my husband and I each had one. And in 30 minutes , we were putting an offer in on a house that we weren't looking for. Not kidding !!! Run. Don't walk to this Coffee Bar.

Adorable little spot, super good coffee

Best coffee yet! Will come here again!

Super cute little spot with outdoor seating. Wide variety of unique beverages and very friendly, helpful staff. They also have vegan and gluten free pastries. I got the lemon coconut donut and it was a bit too sweet but I appreciated that they had it nonetheless.
