What’s cozier than drinking a cup of coffee while admiring pieces of art in the middle of dreamy December? The Winter season calls for chilly weather, warm drinks, and layered clothing, but here in Saint Petersburg, Florida, we drink cold coffee underneath the scorching sun. Even though in Florida we don’t get to experience the typical Winter season, this café leaves you feeling warm even after you have a cold cup. Environmentally conscious St. Pete offers solely Oat Milk at Café Clementine inside the Museum of Fine Arts. A Museum Admission is not required to stop by this artsy café (but we know you’ll do both).
Café Clementine has a wide range of bakery treats, but don’t worry, there’s enough coffee to go around. For their Lattes, they offer Magic Matcha and Chai. They have Lavender syrup to add in for $1. They offer Hot Teas such as Yuzu Peach Green Tea, Earl Grey, and Chamomile. Lastly, they offer Cold Brews, which is what I’m drinking in the photo above and I added a pinch of Oat Milk to it. The only milk they have at this café is Oat Milk (yum), so do be mindful of that.
Baked goods and coffee go hand in hand, so if you’re a sweets person and love to dip your desserts into your cup of Joe in the morning, this café has you covered. Le Clementine is inspired by the seasons with organic and locally produced ingredients. If you can’t walk-in to enjoy a cup and sweets, this cafe offers a pre-order form for pick-up. Their online shop restocks every Wednesday, but be aware– Their pastry preorder form is for Saturdays only. December is a month of warm welcomes, so if this is your favorite month, get ready to feel extra snug with their menu: Christmas Baby Cake, Gingerbread Cookie Tiles, Flourless Hot Cocoa Cookie, Brown Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookie, Coquito Custard Brioche Bun, Cinnamon Cardamom Roll, Winter Savory Scone, Honey Chai Teacake (g/f), Croque Monsieur, Gingerbread Twice Baked Croissant, Egg and Cheese Danish, Eggnog Cruffin, Citrus Morning Bun, Salted Honey Croissant, and a Traditional Croissant. And remember, as the seasons begin to change, so does the menu.
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! For a special treat– Café Clementine is offering a Christmas menu. On December 24th, you can preorder some of their holiday sweets for pick-up. Some of the items on their Christmas menu include 6″ Chocolate Layer Cake, Christmas Cookie box, and many more! The Museum of Fine Arts in St. Pete opens at 10am and closes at 5pm every day. Café Clementine on the other hand, opens at 9am and closes at 3pm with their kitchen closing at 2pm. Make sure to keep a close eye on Café Clementine for your favorite seasonal treats! Happy Holidays!
