St. Pete Socialite: Bandit Coffee
When it came to deciding on a first location for St. Pete Socialite, I was kind of at a loss. We’ve got to know so many great places around town over the years. While I’m going to make time for each and every location, I decided my first spotlight should be on where I’m sitting right at this moment… Bandit Coffee!
The Space
Originally opening in 2015, it has become the ultimate gathering place in the heart of the Grand Central District. As you walk or bike up (after all it is St. Pete), you’re greeted by the iconic ‘Hello St. Petersburg’ mural. The monochromatic tone is a major theme as you make your way inside. The walls are clean and neat. The furniture is simplistic, but still plentiful. With the constant stream of people, there’s always a buzz. Overall, it’s a space where I know I can focus and get work done.
The Drinks
More importantly, you’re guaranteed to get a great cup of coffee! Their menu has everything you would hope to see like cold brews, americanos, and drip. They also have delicious drinks that rotate with the season. for more after-hours drinks, they’ve recently started surviving classic beers and natural wines.
The Food
Finally, the biggest update that Bandit has had since they first opened is a simple, but stellar! While they’ve always offered local pastries, the menu now boasts amazing bowls and sandwiches. In the past month, I’ve been able to sample their Chorizo Bowl and Egg Cheese Sandwich, but the Vegan Bowl is my absolute favorite! It has fantastic flavor and is a filling way to start your morning.
