Pineapple Espresso - St. Petersburg

How did I not discover this place sooner? This morning, I tried the seasonal frittata alongside my café americano and was pleasantly surprised by the attention to detail in both flavor and presentation. The dish featured carrots, herbs, and feta served on a bed of arugula, with smashed avocado on the side. It was beautifully made, using quality ingredients and showcasing a creative menu. The young staff were friendly and polite, adding to the welcoming atmosphere. Just a heads-up: there’s a $15 minimum for orders, but honestly, I would have spent $20 if Kahwa on 38th had been open. I felt a bit lost without a coffee shop, but this place is far more than just a coffee shop—it's truly a gem!

If you're in search of a farm-to-table breakfast featuring healthy options and delightful aromas, this is the spot for you. I've become a regular here, and it never disappoints. I highly recommend the golden maple latte for its great flavor and digestive benefits. The food is also fantastic. Plus, one of their new team members is exceptionally sweet and friendly, which adds to the welcoming atmosphere.

I’m not sure what kind of magic they have going on here, but this place offers the best food and drinks I’ve ever experienced. The flavor combinations are unique and delightful. My only complaint is that they’re not open 24/7. I’m not certain if it’s a woman-owned business, but it certainly feels like it given the exceptional quality. Truly amazing!

If they are looking for a farm to table style breakfast with healthy options and rich aromas, this is their place. I'm already one of them here and it's always amazing. I recommend the golden maple latte for digestion and a great balanced taste. eating is also amazing. also one of their new teammates is simply the sweetest and very personable.

Not long ago I stumbled upon this place. I was in love with it right away. I told everyone I knew about it. The service was great. The food was delicious. The ease of the drive thru was just what I needed with small children in tow. This place is a cashless business. Each customer they charge an automatic 15 gratuity. Sometimes they ask if the gratuity is ok and sometimes they don't. You prepay before they bring you the food and before you eat it. Charging Gratuity ahead of time is a bit presumptuous in my opinion. Months after I started going here, I started asking for my receipts. I did this because according to my credit card statements, the charge was different each time. Even though my order was the same. Unbeknownst to me, I'd been charged way above the 15 . Sometimes it was 23 , other times it was 25 . It was whatever amount they decided on. Did I mention this place is drive thru only? I had many discussions with the owners and they promised they would fix the problem. She comped a meal or 2 of mine for the extra money I spent, but it was not near the amount I had spent when the extra gratuity was added on to each order. I can only imagine how much extra gratuity I paid before I previously started asking for the receipt. I use to go there 5 days a week. Do the math. Today was the very last day I will give Pineapple Espresso my business. They overcharged me again. They did not fix the problem, but continue to blame it on the new help or their new credit card machines. I gave them multiple times to get there sh t together and they didn't. So, if you are thinking of visiting this place or maybe you already do, I highly suggest you have them print out your receipts. And pay attention to any extra charges. Chances are really good your paying an extra 23 or more gratuity on your orders.
