Café Clementine in Museum of Fine Arts

The pastries and drinks are unbelievable! Everything I’ve ever tried here has been so good. I love the seasonal menu. The cafe is located in the St. Pete Fine Art Museum. There is lots of seating and natural light. I couldn’t recommend this place more!

Downtown St Pete always has great food options- we read about this cafe at the museum and decided to check it out. It’s a very small walk up order station that quickly gets a line forming for the single cashier. The staff are very friendly and we didn’t feel rushed despite the line. There are tables inside and outside - it was lovely sitting out watching the water. They quickly brought out the coffee and the food arrived shortly after. We got a cinnamon roll to share, cold brew with salted caramel cold foam, Turkish eggs, and an egg,cheese, and sausage sandwich. The cold brew was ok - was a bit disappointing for $6+ The cinnamon roll was delicious- crisp & flaky outside and perfectly soft in the middle… the light cream cheese topping with orange zest …ah perfection! The Turkish eggs were a nice change of breakfast pace (I’d ask to have the chili on the side next time to have control of the spice level; however, the crusty bread with it is a fantastic accompaniment. The breakfast sandwich was HUGE - my husband wasn’t a fan of the (rosemary?) butter, but that didn’t stop him from devouring the sandwich. We’ll definitely be adding this to our roster of options when we want a some outstanding bakery and unique well made breakfast dishes.

I'd rate this the best bakery in St Pete. I'm a local and I stop in at least once a quarter. I tend to prefer their classic items - cookies, brownies, etc., but their menu items are great too. I've had the egg sandwich and several salads, and everything is consistently delicious. The seasonal items are always creative and pretty, and their instagram feed is helpful and accurate. A little constructive feedback (shared with love): 1. They've done lemon-poppy several times and it just hasn't quite hit the mark for me yet - not enough lemon and too dense. 2. I'd absolutely buy a shirt if it was made with a lighter material - this is St Pete, FL, and the current shirts are heavy. 3. The outdoor tables can get a bit dirty at times and could us more frequent wiping. Overall, a favorite spot I keep coming back to.

So happy I stumbled on this delightful cafe on my first visit to St Pete! All the pastries looked amazing, very creative and unique. Great selection of tea and coffee drinks, and staff are wonderful 😇 I loved the Turkish eggs (the bread is divine!!) and the outdoor patio seating.

The pastries are UNREAL. Complex flavor profiles and just all around so good. I can’t wait to go back!! The atmosphere of the cafe in the open museum is also very nice. Spacious. I also got a really pretty bouquet of flowers by Padmé farms from there.
