This place has excellent single-origin coffee. I had the “Maria Oidor” from Columbia. Absolutely delicious. It reminded me of the 100% Kona coffees I got to enjoy in Hawaii. What’s better is all of their coffees (not just their pour-overs) are single origin, so the one I wanted was the drip coffee! The chocolate apricot tart was also very good. If you are a coffee snob like me, I highly recommend.
If I’m home in St. Pete, there’s simply no better place to go for good pour-over or espresso shot. The beans they’re roasting are fantastic and the experience is always great, rating them among the best coffee shops I’ve been to anywhere in the world. Beyond that, the owners are awesome people who actively give back and value building that sense of community that is missing from many businesses today. They really care about the customer and that’s obvious in every detail of the experience. For that reason alone, I’ll be a lifetime customer of Bandit and am happy to share with anyone why they should be too.

Great place to hang and have delicious coffee hot or cold. They also have kombucha on tap or in bottle. Their coffee is delicious! Some of the best I've ever had. Heard about this place from the Minimalist podcast and had to check it out! And so glad we did. The decor is amazing. Customer service was great too. And the best part was the delicious coffee. Check them out.
This is my favorite coffee in the country. My go to drink is espresso & milk over ice. It is rich, smooth & my favorite way to start a Saturday. I love the minimalist design & relaxing feel of the shop itself. The owners & staff are always kind & patient. I cannot recommend a local gem more highly!
easily the best coffee roasted in the burg. resplendent flavor in every cup.
It's like I was transported back to Brooklyn! They take great care in the process of creating great coffee. If you can't appreciate the difference between good coffee and great coffee, then perhaps this isn't the place for you... Thanks for bringing the artistry of coffee to St. Pete!
Bandit is, hands down, the BEST coffee shop in st. Pete. All the expertise with none of the snobbery. They’re super friendly and the vibe is very very positive. I love this joint!
Honestly the best coffee I've ever tasted. The baristas were also incredibly kind, welcoming, and helpful. Will probably never go to a different coffee shop again.
By far the best coffee shop in town. Great staff, great coffee, great vibes.
I just finished sipping my first coffee from Bandit. My wife and I both LOVED it. We had a latte and the foamed milk was so creamy and smooth, while the coffee still had a complex and rich flavor. One of they keys to perfect espresso drinks is not getting the water and steam too hot, and the barista got it perfect. Not only did it not scorch the coffee, it also allowed us to enjoy the drink immediately, instead of having to wait for it to cool down.
Hands down, one of the best cups of coffee I have ever had. The quality and execution is second to none in town or regionally. If you love coffee, you owe it to yourself to stop in for a cup! Their Tea is equally impressive.
All I have to say is .... THANK YOU! Finally, someone knows how to make a perfect cup of coffee/expresso! I will happily drive from Tampa just to have a great coffee any day... or perhaps every day. ��
Love the space, people and vibe. Love that it's only a couple blocks from my shop. And LOVE the quality of the coffee. ��
Legit best espresso I’ve ever had. Phenomenal.
Thank you!
Great work space & hang out space! The staff is super nice and knowledgeable about the coffee they serve. One of the last times I went in there they were offering Guatemalan coffee. I was in heaven! My family is from Guatemala and one of my absolute joys going over there to visit is drinking Guatemalan coffee. Coming to bandit coffee for me is like getting a warm hug of nostalgia in a cup.
Delightful, modern coffee shop that makes high-quality coffee feel accessible to all. Their menu covers a variety of coffee, espresso, tea, and speciality drinks so there will certainly be something to suit your fancy.
The breakfast menu is DIVINE and portions match expectations for high-quality food. There are vegan options and meat options, plus a wide variety of pastries.
We came during the week and it was so peaceful sitting outside in the shade. Definitely a must-visit for coffee aficionados!
Located in a beautiful part of St Pete. This is a hip coffee shop that offers a variety of hot and cold coffees and teas. They also have a selection of pastries. The chocolate chip and sea salt cookie was excellent. The location is open with plenty of seating. The biggest downside is that it gets quite warm inside. I'm not sure if they don't have AC or if it just can't keep up with the heat outside. Also, the music is on the louder side so if you are looking for a quiet place, then this isn't for you. However, if you are looking for something uptempo and fun, then head on over.
We didn’t eat here, but the food looked delicious. It was quite a busy Saturday morning! We ordered a couple lattes and they were made fast for how busy it was. There is a good amount of seating indoors and outside.
If I am every back in St. Pete, I would love to try it for brunch.
Everyone has their favorite coffee shop and this one ranks in my top 5 for the Tampa Bay Area. Absolutely love the atmosphere, spaciousness, food, and coffee/drink selections. My go to order is always the avocado toast and matcha latte. We also recently tried the hot honey chicken biscuit sandwich which was very yummy. Definitely would recommend for all to give it a try.
The coffee is perfect. Strong, not too bitter and not too sweet… basically everything you’re lookin for in the morning to wake you up and put a smile on your face. The food is yummy and has great presentation! Love the vibe and love the people that work here, they make it worth every long line.
I don't travel to St.Pete often, it's just to far to frequent. I did make my way over today and glad I did. I wanted to try a new breakfast/coffee spot and I'm so glad I stopped here! The Matcha latte for starters was nothing short of amazing! I got it hot but you can also get it iced. The bacon, egg and cheese sandwich was the best, no kidding. This sandwich had to have been made fresh and I'm not talking by way of microwave. The scramble eggs were just oozing out of the soft and tasty brioche bread. While it did take some time to get the sandwich, getting filled from this newly discovered masterpiece was well worth the wait. I also enjoyed the atmosphere here. Very modern and inviting. I will be back...very soon! :)
Really cute place, good coffee and an assortment of pasties.
Things to know is there is no Wifi available so you do need to have your own hotspot if you want to work here.
I would not recommend this as a study/work place since they do have their own music and it is a bit louder than usual.
Great place to hang out with friends or socialize! Bonus is the St. Pete mural on the side
Bouquet latte is top tier, but their food options are also FANTASTIC. Best avacado toast ever and favorite breakfast sandwich of all time! They also have a great breakfast burrito and cauliflower bowl. You won't be disappointed!!
