Not the best experience. This was my second day in a row coming here while on vacation. I ordered a decaf Americano with steamed oat milk. The same staff member messed up my order twice, not steaming the oat milk. If it isnât steamed, it tends to curdle. The first time I let it slide, but today she made the same mistake and then asked her coworker for help.
Her coworker was sitting at a table eating and on his phone. He came over without washing his hands, grabbed the cup from the inside, and prepared the coffee. He offered to remake it properly, but I declined because I was already put off and didnât want to waste resources. I asked for a refund instead.
The person at the counter (possibly the manager or owner) asked me why I returned today. I explained that my wife really enjoys it here, and so do I, but I was discouraged that my order was mishandled two days in a row. I also mentioned that being on vacation, I didnât want to monitor whether my drink was made correctly.
Her response shocked me. She told me, âI think we can all agree itâs best if you didnât come back here anymore.â I stayed quiet, accepted the refund, and simply...
   Read moreI saw this coffee shop as I was driving past it on my way to clean and decided a nice coffee pick me up was exactly what I needed! And boy did it not disappoint! I got a coffee, croissant and breakfast. (Long day, no breaks) The signature toasted coconut latte, it was delish! Not to sweet with fun little bits of coconut. The chocolate croissant was amazing with the coffee. Yummy soft chocolate inside. The hashbrown bowl I saved for lunch and oh em gee.... Perfection! The hashbrowns were cooked to perfection with plenty of crispy bits, soft fluffy eggs and the bacon was also cooked just right (crispy not undercooked). I really enjoyed the combo of flavors with the cherry tomatoes bringing sweetness and the pickled onion bring a little tangy bite. Legit the best breakfast I've had in a very long time! The long line told an accurate story of how fire Grove Surf Cafe is! Customer service was also kind and as fast as possible considering it was a Sunday on the beach! Will...
   Read moreCame here since the st pete beach location is temporarily closed due to hurricane damage. They were very prompt despite waiting in line. We came on the weekend late morning so brace yourself for it being packed. Regardless we somehow found seating soon after ordering. Parking is really annoying but on a nice breezy sunny day a walk to the shop isnât so bad. The Additional parking is at a park about 2-3 blocks away. The beach entrance is also super close so I feel like had we wanted to go to the beach I could have left my car at that park đ . Almost forgot to mention, they serve alcohol at this location!! Love the grove. Love me their orange latte (canât remember what itâs called but it has orange and itâs bomb especially since they make the syrup in house) Hoping next time Iâm in town st pete is back and running. But youâll love...
