Coffee Drinks by the Water

Whatever cool weather the season may bring, remember to arm yourself with the best places to stay cozy with a coffee drink.

  •  - St. Pete Beach

Try the Skinny Mocha for a light and sweet delight. The drink is comprised of sugar free white or dark chocolate with farm fresh skim milk and then it is blended with fresh coffee, brewed to perfection. For $3.50, enjoy the Skinny Mocha at Steam. Add $.50 for each upsize.

  •  - John's Pass

Located inside John’s Pass, Addicted to the Bean is full of treats. For this local coffee spot, the Caramel de Leche Frappe is a fine choice. The frappe is a cold coffee drink that is blended with ice to make a sort of coffee shake. Caramel, milk and cream (plus the fresh coffee, of course) make this a winning combination for just $4.10 (for a 16 oz) or $4.95 (for a 20 oz).

  •  - North Redington Beach

For a more simple option, try Sweet Sage’s Cafe Breve. The Cafe Breve is the American version of a latte.  Instead of using steamed milk in combination with the coffee, a breve calls for steamed half and half (50% cream, 50% milk) instead. Cafe Breves are priced from $4.25.

  •  - Indian Shores

Nestled in the quiet neighborhood of Indian Shores is a cozy and inviting coffee shop, appropriately named Indian Shores Coffee Co. The establishment boasts a large menu of coffee drinks and freshly baked goods. We picked the Purple Haze Latte, which is a combination of dark chocolate and hazelnut. The flavored lattes like the Purple Haze start at $3.65.
