Patrona Coastal Cafe

This was our first experience here, despite living right across the bridge. Excellent experience!! Food, service, and atmosphere top notch. Everyone was friendly, and breakfast was really enjoyable! Prime Tampa Bay experience. Hidden away from the noise of the road, it gives a feel like Gilligan's Island...but without the nonsense. Super cool, check it out!!

Saw this place on Instagram and was excited to check it out! Our first visit started off a little rough. We were given our coffees and told we'd be buzzed when our food was ready. After about 40 minutes, I went to check on our order only to find out it had been forgotten and had to be made then. Mistakes happen, but I do wish there had been a bit more of an apology, especially since they weren't very busy. Waiting 40 minutes for avocado toast and a breakfast sandwich was definitely frustrating. We decided to give them another chance, and our second visit was much better. The coffee, atmosphere, and views are definitely worth checking out. Coconut latte was my favorite! Just be sure to clarify how the food pickup works so there isn't any confusion. Overall, I'd come back for the coffee and the vibe!

Total hidden gem by the Gandy Bridge. The outside doesn’t do it justice — once you’re there, it feels like a peaceful little oasis with great views and fantastic coffee. The food menu is okay but somewhat limited and pretty bread-heavy, so not the most celiac-friendly. But for great coffee and atmosphere, this place is a winner. I will definitely return!

This is now one of my favorite places to come. The atmosphere alone should give it a 5.0. It’s an ideal old Florida beach Hideaway set up. Very fun and relaxing place to sit and look around and be outside, but not be in the sweltering heat because of all the shade. My brown iced shaken espresso is absolutely delicious. And the coastal croissant which is two eggs two sausage cheese on a croissant was fresh made not frozen and then heated up.

Absolutely stunning place with a unique tropical vibe 🌺. The birdsong is a delight for nature lovers, and the coffee hot or iced, is simply excellent ☕. The food is simple but full of flavor. We visited for brunch and were impressed by the friendly service. Weekends get busy, so booking ahead is recommended. We loved it and can’t wait to return!
