Bandit Coffee Co.

Finally got the chance to try Bandit Coffee. They are in renovation, so no indoor access, order thru the window so to give you the hole in the wall experience. I asked to heat up the baked goods, they said they can't??? Also give you one napkin for the whole order, like our commander in chief said, come on man! If offer one napkin, customers can only either use it to wipe their mouth, or clean up after themselves. Other than that, the coffee is good and baked items are tasty.

Update: 8/2022
The indoor space is opened an still a popular place. This time, the pastries is below par. Both muffin and biscuit are dried. Come on man!

Food was delicious.
Long line outside but it moved quickly, we waited and ate in under 30 minutes, line was out the door when we got there.
Staff was overall just too cool for school. Not very polite. Menus were all stacked at register so I took stack and put it at beginning of line, seemed like staff just didn't care 30 people were in line without menus, probably would have moved faster if people weren't deciding their order at the counter.
It was a Saturday, I get it, would definitely come back. Hopefully management sees this and maybe mentions a couple simple solutions to make the experience more enjoyable.

cute place! the drinks were good and the sweets looked amazing, we had a guacamole toast and it didn’t just taste like avocado toast, it actually had guac qualities to it, they actually put the effort into the dish instead of just slapping some avocado on bread.
tasty and will def go back

Best coffee in St Pete. They have some tasty food, and their baristas know what they’re doing. Good whole bean coffee as well.

The vegan salted chocolate chip cookie… chefs kiss.

Great find !! Went for breakfast on a recommendation and we were impressed with the service and friendliest of the staff. All their products are made in house and are deliciously appealing. I had the sourdough toast with a blackberry jam a great choice. Very good place to go for a coffee and pastry.

I had a great experience while visiting on a trip. I searched for a higher quality decaf from any roasteries in the area, to use in my Tricolate brewer, and turned out this one was wonderful. Tried lattes and their food as well, and it was all really great. Vacation being over now, I find myself missing this place and its coffee. Thank you, Bandit!

Best avocado toast I’ve had in a very long time. Wait was reasonable, the bacon egg and cheese was delicious and the coffee was incredible. We will be back!!!

The vegans need to know - the vegan burrito is just ok. It’s an oversized, overpriced wrap which envelops a proportionally small piece of just egg that’s drenched with way too much adobo (or some tomato sauce) and an overwhelming amount of potatoes (seriously overwhelming). There are also some burnt pieces of red onion throughout which are rubbery at best and a nuisance at worst (I had to remove them as they were not edible). Also let’s talk about the price - $12 for this subpar burrito with an ADDED $0.25 to EACH item if it is requested “to go.” I haven’t seen this even where I’m from (New York). On the plus side, the iced bun was absolutely delicious with a perfect ratio of icing to dough - moist, tasty, and super fresh so that balances out the review here. Everything is a bit overpriced ($7 for a donut!) but I might come back for the bun and coffee, nothing else.

Comfortable place for a coffee with a view on the street.
Parking outside. Reasonable prices.

I see some complaints about wifi and parking. Have you considered that the a asthetic or what this location is going for isn't a quite work place but a social space where people can talk comfortably? Also, if you can't read sign regarding parking, that's on you, not the business.

Overall, I will agree the music was a bit loud, there aren't any surfaces made to absorb sound.

The establishment was clean, modern, and minimalistic. The beverages were amazing, and the avocado toast was great. The pastries are alright, pretty, but nothing too special.

Those complaining about coffee prices? If you don't like it, make yours at home. This economy sucks and people need to make a living.
