About Driftwood Cafe

Quick-serve cafe at the head of the St. Petersburg Pier featuring coffee, ice cream, shaved ice, pastries, pizza, beer, wine, and more.

Located at 800 2nd Ave NE Ground Floor, St. Petersburg, FL 33701, Driftwood Cafe operates as a cafe serving St. Petersburg in Florida. This page gathers the practical details people usually look for before visiting: where it is, how to reach it, when it opens and how customers rate it.

Coffee in the United States is served by three kinds of places: national chains with drive-thrus and mobile ordering, independent neighborhood cafes that double as a workspace or a meeting spot, and specialty shops that roast their own beans or buy single-origin lots and brew them by pour-over, espresso or cold brew. Most open between 6 and 7 a.m. on weekdays, slightly later on weekends, and the busiest hour is the commute rush before 9. A drip coffee runs a few dollars, espresso drinks and specialty pours more, and tipping a dollar or a percentage on the card reader is customary but not required. Nearly every cafe offers free Wi-Fi, though some limit laptop seating at peak times or on weekends, and outlets are often the scarce resource.

The business lists hours on 7 days of the week. On most of those days it is open 8 am–9 pm. As with most places, expect changes around holidays; the phone number below is the fastest way to confirm. You can reach Driftwood Cafe at (727) 513-8325; calling is usually the quickest way to ask about availability, prices or directions. More information is available on its website, driftwoodcafestpete.com.

Customers rate it 4.4 out of 5 on Google across 423 reviews, placing it among the better-regarded cafes in St. Petersburg.

This place was THE BEST hidden gem we've come across in all of St. Pete's!! We happened upon it by accident at the pier - and we were treated with such genuine kindness that I had to write a review!! We stopped in for a quick snack, and from the moment we walked in we were welcomed with a smile, positivity, and just an overall pure kindness that was impossible to deny!! The sandwiches looked delicious, and the ice cream there is just phenomenal!! I was a little worried when my 17yr old said he was hungry, you cant be sure what costs are going to be on the pier like that - BUT HE GOT THE BIGGEST ONE SCOOP (2 flavors) ICE CREAM FOR UNDER $7 - AND IT WAS DELICIOUS!!! Check it out, you wont he disappointed...1000% worth the walk up to tue 2nd floor!!! Thanks to all at Driftwood that made our visit one to remember!!

Sierra and Cynthia are extremely nice and awesome. They're so sweet, very welcoming and most importantly, they made the best lemonade (mint pineapple) I've ever had. We'll definitely to come back for the drinks and ice creams.

A walk along the St. Pete Pier isn’t complete without a stop at Driftwood Cafe, especially on a hot Florida day. Tucked on the second floor, this spot has a relaxed, slightly tucked-away feel that makes it perfect for a quick break. Whether you’re in the mood for coffee or something sweet, it hits that mid-walk reset you didn’t realize you needed. Service here is consistently friendly, with staff that actually engage and offer helpful suggestions. On a recent visit, I even got tipped off about β€œMovement Mondays” happening back near the pier entrance, which turned into a surprisingly fun scene with EDM and house DJs and a crowd of all ages. It’s little moments like that that make the experience feel more personal. That said, the real reason to stop here is the ice cream. They let you sample as many flavors as you want, which is always a win, and the portions are generous. You get large scoops for a price that feels more than fair, especially considering you’re in a high-traffic, tourist-heavy area. Once you’ve got your ice cream, take it outside. Find a spot overlooking the water or catch the sunset if the timing’s right. That view, paired with a solid scoop (or two), is really

They were open on Thanksgiving morming. Got a double shot of expresso and a bacon breakfast sandwich on everything begal. I enjoyed them both very much. Def a mid point if you wanna add this as a stop on your walk in the morning. Cute spot, with great views.
