La Croisette : A Brunch St Pete Beach Staple
La Croisette is a local gem and has been since it opened in 1982, offering classic American breakfast with a French twist using only fresh ingredients. This casual breakfast restaurant specializes in croissants and some of their best dishes are the croissant French Toast, their croissant breakfast sandwiches and cinnamon roll French Toast.
La Croisette doesn’t take reservations but don’t let the line scare you. My husband and I showed up when there was a pretty big line and we got a table within ~20 minutes. The service is incredible and they get people in and out really quick! That being said, if you have a large group that tends to doddle this may not be the best brunch spot for your group.
Frog Pond
Frog Pond is another classic spot for brunch, offering fresh breakfast favorites in cute space that is themed frog. 🐸 Here you’ll find a delicious and traditional breakfast menu with dishes like their Eggs Benedict, and frog decor all over the walls. This is a local favorite spot, so you know it’s good!
Similar to La Croisette, Frog Pond doesn’t take reservations but the wait for a small group shouldn’t take too long. Show up early with bigger groups to avoid a long wait.
Buoy’s Waterfront : The Best Place For A Waterfront Brunch St Pete Beach
Buoy’s Waterfront is the best place for a waterfront meal to start your day in St Pete Beach, with great food and even better views. Between the high class food and beautiful setting, this local gem is definitely one of the best breakfast/brunch restaurants in St Pete Beach – perfect for events or just a special way to start the day. Try their legendary French Toast or shrimp and grits.
Rick’s Reef St Pete Beach
Rick’s Reef is not only one of the best spots for brunch in St Pete Beach, it’s easily one of the best restaurants in St Pete Beach as well if you like a laid-back atmosphere and amazing food. Some of the brunch menu items you’ll find here are breakfast bowls, a bunch of variations on Eggs Benedict and bottomless mimosas on Saturdays & Sundays (!). Also make sure to try their Bloody Mary if that’s your thing.
Seahorse Restaurant
Seahorse Restaurant is a breakfast and lunch restaurant in St Pete Beach offering fresh seafood straight from the gulf and traditional brunch entrees, so you can please everyone in your group. Their specialty is the beautiful shrimp and grits dish, or if you’re more into the traditional breakfast dishes, the pancakes at Seahorse Restaurant are amazing.

The Helm St Pete Beach is a new spot for brunch in St Pete Beach, offering a small brunch menu every day of the week! Make sure to try their oysters if you’re a fan, even if it’s “too early”, because this is their specialty here along with their chicken and waffles. The interior is beautiful with carefully placed decor, which makes The Helm a great place for bachelorette parties or events.
Chill Restaurant & Bar
Chill Restaurant & Bar offers a small but fantastic brunch menu Friday, Saturday and Sunday which entrees like a variety of crepes, avocado toast, steak and eggs and Eggs Benedict. Plus, they can make you any brunch drink you can imagine here – “we can craft anything”. Try their Blood Mary or shrimp and grits, which are two of their specialties.
82 Degrees
82 Degrees is a modern and upscale brunch spot in St Pete Beach. It’s a beautiful space offering breakfast classics through 3:00pm like French Toast, Beach Benedict and, a St. Pete Beach favorite, shrimp and grits.
