Crislip Cafe

Very cozy atmosphere. The decor is really cool. Yummy croissant sandwich and frappe. The shop has nice little gifts. I’d like to come back!

100% new fav spot in St Pete for hanging out and/or coffee.
The whole spot is a great vibe but also cozy with comfortable seating. There are games avail, indoor and semioutdoor hallway seating, all very attractive.
Tried their taste of honey coffee, SO delicious. Their vegan choc chip cookie was unusually delicious. Will be back again and again

Best lil coffee shop ever! And we're previous Cafe owners and from Seattle, we know! Jennifer made us a cuban latte with a condensed milk twist. She nailed it! Super friendly, and the dude working the counter, too! Check it out, you won't be sorry!

Update 4/7/23: so glad they’re open again. The coffee is just as good!

I got the purple rain, the whole latta latte, and raspberry danish. They were all delicious and I look forward to coming back!

Walked yesterday and passed the best smelling coffee! Had to go check it out! Ordered an iced raspberry beret and a Raspberry danish. The drink was so good I almost ordered another one! The danish was fabulous! Will most definitely be going back!

Strongly recommend this hidden gem! Tucked away in a really nice alley off Central right by The Merchant is Crislip Cafe. This is the best espresso I've had in the area yet. Awesome part of the cafe culture and coffee community in St. Pete. The Black Magic Woman and the Purple Rain are both fantastic. Fresh pastries and the biggest helpings of tiramisu you could ask for. I'm still drinking my drink and already excited to return.

A charming cafe adorned with local art, a thoughtful music station, and polite friendly people behind the counter. Look for the iron-glad gate and venture down this historic-looking hallway for good vibes and treats!

What a great little coffee shop. Nice owner, good coffee. Those are the kind of experiences that leave a warm feeling and you remember afterwards. The owner is a great barista and he was able to adjust any drink by request, and they turned out so good. Highly recommend this place.

I've been wanting to try this coffee shop for months and finally did. I love the location and the outdoor seating area in the covered mall area. The one star is for the ambiance/smell inside the shop. Upon entering my senses were assaulted by a nasty patchouli smell which was overwhelming. Not everyone enjoys this hippie smell and it triggered a migraine while I ordered. Unfortunately I cannot return to this shop until they dispense with using essential oils and other scented sprays. It truly stinks. Oh, the coffee is adequate.

When I tell you I am DEVASTATED that this place is closing, that's pretty much the understatement of the year. I've only recently within the last few months become acquainted with Crislip Cafe and it's among the better coffee shops in St. Pete. It has it all!

Great location with decent access to parking.
Good selection of affordable beverages and treats to choose from.
Ample and varied seating.
Strong wifi.
Interesting and friendly patrons.
And this is just off the top of my head. St. Pete took a major L losing this one.
