Truly Great Drink & Food
Life's too short for bad coffee!
At The Crislip Cafe, "The hidden gem of St. Pete" we pride ourselves in sourcing the very best coffees, loose leaf teas and fresh baked goods available in the Bay area.
We use sustainably farmed and artisan roasted, USDA & Fair Trade Certified organic coffees, produced from coffee farms around the globe that are a part of the "Cafe Femenino" project - women owned farms. We feature global espresso drinks such as the Northern Espressino and Cafe Bombon. We also craft specialty espresso drinks, such as the "Purple Rain", a lavendar latte and the "Light My Fire", a smores inspired mocha. We love music and name our specialty drinks after popular songs for a touch of nostalgia.
Along with having the best breakfast sandwiches in town which are available any time of day, we do offer a rotating selection baked goodies, like muffins and danishes plus some vegan, and gluten-free options. Almost forgot to mention our amazing chocolate truffles made by Victoria Richards, which come in a variety of different flavors! Perfect for pairing with any coffee, wine or craft beer.
