Central Diner (formerly Central Coffee Shoppe)

Woke up in St. Pete after a fun night, wanting a simple hot breakfast. In going through the list coming up on google, yelp, etc, and after checking menus and prices, this was exactly the kind of place I was looking for. Food was hot and came out quick, and prices were on point. I recommend the corned beef hash....probably the best I've had.

Amazing food and the owner is always hands on. Very clean restaurant, even the bathroom was clean enough to eat in (not that we would, lol) but very impressed with the entire place! Mackinzie was our server and she was incredibly helpful and made sure everything was perfect. Her personality rocked!! Everyone in the place was cheerful and making the customers feel like family. My new favorite place anytime I'm in St Pete. A MUST GO!!!

Loved this diner! My husband and I were looking for a a good breakfast spot and drove around for a while. We were not disappointed! The food was delicious, served hot and super fast. The coffee was strong and the staff was friendly and attentive! As a NY native, my husband loved the reminiscent feel to a NY diner!

This is my new go-to for quick and delicious breakfast! First of all, the service is always so friendly, and super quick! The owner or manager, gentleman who wears a white t-shirt, ALWAYS comes to the tables and asks how everyone is doing and if anyone needs anything. Breakfast is always good! They have really good grits! The prices are reasonable and coffee is always fresh! I live in tampa and I just wish this place were closer!! My point: EAT HERE!! Well done Central Coffee Shoppe!

Had John's great breakfast. Scrambled eggs and hash browns. Perfect! This cozy breakfast spot is the type of breakfast place you want eat at everyday! Friendly, comfortable and great food and great coffee. Do yourself a favor and stop by.

This is my first time here. Its awesome, the food is great and huge portions. The biscuits and gravy are freaking the best I've had in a long time. The staff supper friendly. Very clean. Will be back for sure.

Incredible breakfast food & staff! Full plate size pancakes from scratch, mmmmmmm. 🥞🥞🥞🥞🥞

Expensive, for the quality. The coffee is poor, but the French toast is amazing

Not just coffee, but also breakfast and sandwiches. I had a very decent hamburger, but I think the omelettes and eggs were the real star of the show. You can dine outside on the sidewalk and dogs are welcome.

A great little low-priced and clean diner tucked in among pricey restaurants in downtown St. Pete with great food and service. If you like old-school diners this is your place. Oh, and the coffee is top shelf too!
