Crislip Cafe

A charming way to start your day in the heart of the sunshine city!!

Let your mind and taste buds wander to thoughts of a Bohemian chic coffee shop in the village of NYC in it's funkiest, hippest days before rampant commercialization and soul crushing rents.

This quirky fun visually engaging shop is filled with local art on the walls, funky retro decor and chachkis galore, staffed by fun, interesting and interactive Barista's who know their trade and are happy to recommend a java creation the likes of the scintillating black magic woman, Tennessee whiskey, s'mores or create your own new favorite.

Pastries both sweet and savory are on hand to seal your diet death and are top notch, locally sourced and delicious. We reluctantly recommend the spinach artichoke stuffed croissant and the blueberry scones (at the risk of there being none for us when we arrive).

Then "exit through the gift shop" filled with kitschy t shirts, mugs, hand crafted soaps and high quality one off things you never knew you needed fair.

Don't forget to walk off your Crisslip and level up your local knowledge by taking a stroll up and down the ever cool and burgeoning central avenue and beach drive. Both charming and filled with local one off shops and restaurants, museumd, parks and overall cool not yet removed by over development, Urban sprawl, commercialization and increasing rents.

Keep these one off wonders alive by your frequent patronage!

Pleasantly surprised to find this little gem in one of my favorite nooks on Central Ave. I had a really good cappuccino and strawberry goat cheese danish delish! Nice inside and out with good service you will not be disappointed.

This place used to be a wonderful spot for coffee, tea, sandwiches and baked goods with a quaint sitting area. About two weeks ago however, there has been drastic changes done to the place that I am not found of whatsoever. Sandwiches have been completely removed from the menu, now only leaving the establishment for drinks for the most part and the seating/table/counter arrangements have altered as well, making it not as good of a place to lounge. Along with that, the new setup up makes it awkward to find a spot to stand in a line whilst waiting for your purchased good(s) to be ready.
This was going to be a spot that me and my significant other were going to turn into our secret hideaway, but now we've certainly changed our minds with these new implementations. It's turned into another generic coffee shop. It's not a bad place by all means, but most certainly not the gem it once was.

Came here for the first time two days ago and already can't wait to go back. One of the best coffee spots I've been to in St. Pete so far. This place is extremely unique and definitely a hidden gem! Loved the whole atmosphere and vibe and can't wait to try everything on the menu!! I got the Cafe Bombon and omg I could've had 10 of those! So delicious!

It's WOW

Got a decaf iced latte and a thanksgiving croissant and omg, it was incredible. They have a bunch of different stuffed croissants and i can’t wait to try them all. Very cute decor, small place though and I wouldn’t want to bring a large group here for too long, but it was very cool.

Definitely worth exploring all the nooks and crannies!

BEST CAFE IN DOWNTOWN. I’ve been a regular for a couple months now, and they have really good food and unique drinks with some seasonal ones at times. Owner and ALL of the baristas are profoundly friendly.

Nice hidden coffee shoppe on central. I had their iced crislip coffee and it was delicious. The place itself looked really cool and clean. Staff was nice.

Crislip is THE coffee spot in St. Pete. Not only is it a beautiful colorful place full of art, but their drinks and customer service are amazing. Specially Jay, she was so nice and full of energy ready to help me with my order. She made the most delicious Whole Lotta Latte. Can’t wait to go back and explore more of their menu.
