Central Coffee Shop

Great diner experience. Sat right away about 7:45am on a weekday. Service was quick and friendly. The Classic - a breakfast sandwich was on point. The sausage tasted as good as fresh sausage in Pennsylvania. And they put on 2 patties. I didn’t see cheddar as a substitute cheese but they do American cheese right. 👌 A great deal for $8! My breakfast companion ordered the breakfast special with two eggs and substituted their toast with French toast. I highly recommend, the butter they provide is the best sweet butter I’ve had. Hands down best French toast I’ve had in a while. Their potato hash was alright, I wasn’t digging the way they season it, seemed like too much lard or something for my taste. They provide Twinnings English Breakfast for their hot tea. 🫖 👍 I would definitely eat here again if I was in the area.

On my recent visit to Central Diner... I opted for the cheeseburger due to time constraints. The burger was perfectly cooked—medium, as requested—and included cheese, lettuce, tomato, and crinkle-cut fries. The staff's friendliness and prompt service are consistent highlights, reinforcing why this spot is a go-to for breakfast in St. Petersburg, Florida. Normally, we get breakfast here so I would get this half pound hamburger breakfast along with eggs, and wife likes the waffles and other breakfast items here, if you want a classic diner this is your choice, locals and tourist come here for speed, quality and quantity. In essence Central Diner is a staple worth visiting for any breakfast enthusiast. I look forward to returning soon.

If you’re looking for classic diner food, you’ll find it at Central Diner. This hidden gem is located in downtown St. Pete right on Central Ave. I ordered the french toast and sausage, egg and cheese sandwich on white bread. Both of the items tasted good and I’d eat it again. The service was okay. The waitress took my order and I got my food fairly quickly along with the bill. She never checked on me after she dropped off my food and the bill. I wasn’t unsure if I had to go up to the front to pay the bill. Paid street parking is available.

Its chill in here. You can see all the action bc the kitchen is right in front of you, if you sit at the bar. Great biscuits and gravy. Service is timely the ladies are nice. Food was great. Will be back. Biscuits and gravy is my favorite food, and it hit the spot!

It’s a diner, folks! Fast, friendly service and the pancakes I so desperately wanted this morning were perfect! Got a happy birthday song along with my breakfast ❤️… I like my egg a little less cooked but I shoulda said so 😂. Go here to feel the local (real people) vibe!
