Cafe Clementine's Instagram always looks phenomenal, and I finally got a chance to see their pastries in person!! Note: you don't have to buy admission to the Museum of Fine Arts in order to try Cafe Clementine (but I do highly recommend the museum as well!). Every single pastry looked stunning, but we chose three to try out. We started with the brioche cardamom cinnamon roll. The cardamom and orange zest flavors were light, but I appreciated the fluffiness of the dough. I think this pastry would have been incredible if we could have gotten it warmed up. The French onion pastry was SO delicious. I've never had a dough quite like that--so fluffy and airy. The caramelized onions were perfect. You DEFINITELY need to have this pastry warmed up if it's not fresh. We also got the chocolate croissant with halva. It was a really sweet pastry, so definitely more of a dessert. But I really loved the pistachio with the chocolate and the halva on top. The dough was very flaky despite us eating it in the late afternoon.I can't wait to come back and try more of their pastries!

This place is super cute! Great location & the food was incredible. Spanish eggs are a must as well as the honey croissant, to die for. My grandma ordered the matcha latte which was super flavorful & a great matcha over all. I ordered the chai. I wanted to order a latte but without oat milk (I'm a regular milk girl) and they let me know the latte I wanted was premade with the oat milk. I'm so glad I didn't get that & this is my reasoning for 4/5 stars. When I order a latte, 1. I want to be able to change something about it and 2. Want the shot of espresso freshly brewed. I understand some things are not possible & still would come back here. Definitely recommend checking out if you're in the area.

this is honestly a hidden gem. I have never been more pleasantly surprised by a café then this cute little bakery smack in the middle of Saint Pete Museum. It's unique and everything is so flavorful. You order at the counter and then come sit down and your food is brought over to you. The baked goods were exceptional.

I highly recommend checking out Cafe Clementine for breakfast. Portions are on the smaller size, so it's not really shareable. I ordered the Turkish eggs and killed it in less than 5 minutes. It was very tasty! The sourdough bread that's included was phenomenal. A shame they didn't provide more slices or at least give larger pieces. For dessert, I ordered the bread pudding which was hefty enough to share with another person. Every bite was unbelievably moist and flavorful. It was such a treat when I realized there was chocolate in there as well! The cafe is located in the lobby of the museum. It's a large open space, with plenty of seating and gorgeous windows with stained glass. It's the perfect place to grab breakfast or coffee before strolling down the pier.

The ambience is beautiful in the museum of fine art, but holy moley, the price you pay for what you get is just not justifiable. The sandwiches are tiny, premade and reheated when you order. The truffle aioli on the egg sandwich is grey and extremely visually unappealing. The pastry we had was good, not great. My cold brew coffee was okay, a small serving. $60 for two tiny egg sandwiches, a pastry, a cold brew (6 oz maybe) and a drip coffee was just too much. Sadly we won't be returning.

This lovely little cafe stand inside the museum is such a delight. Got here a little late and there was a limited selection. Service was great and friendly. I got a plain croissant and honey butter both delicious. These are carefully crafted. Enjoyed the layering, the lightness and buttery flaky outside. Must return to try other treats.

I worked at a museum before so I enjoy supporting museums wherever I go. This is a cute little cafe inside the Museum of Fine Art. It's a little pricey but very good quality pastries and the sales go to supporting this museum. We ordered the cruffin (cross between a croissant and a muffin with its crispy layers), croissants and pain au chocolat (chocolate croissant). We bought these back for family and they really enjoyed them.

I didn't know what to expect when I walked into a cafe in an art museum, aside from the good things that my friends had shared. But wow! This place blew me away.The good:1) It is STUNNING. Be sure to go in the morning, and watch as the stained glass brightens the place with color!2) Each and every baked good was out of this world. From our puff pastry to our little vegan bundt cake, it was all a 10/10.3) That quiche. I cannot recommend the daily quiche enough. I've never experienced a quiche so fluffy and light.4) The staff were so wonderful and service was very fast. We had great experiences with their team members, even when there was a discrepancy on the window display and we had to move around some of the orders.The only bad:1) The blueberry cobbler chai latte is bad. So bad. It's horribly sweet and not very well-flavored (the combination of the flavors was too much). I cannot recommend never getting it. I would get any other drink (their coffee is probably fine).Overall - GO GO GO. It was so awesome! And wonderful! And I highly recommend this place!!

This is a little gem of a cafe nestled nicely within the Museum of Fine Arts. You can enter off the front or the back, and there is both indoor and outdoor seating. The bakery is the star of the show for you, with great sandwiches as well. We ordered the egg salad sandwich and the chicken salad sandwich. Both were tasty, and the sourdough bread was baked perfectly.We also ordered some pastries and a lemon meringue tart. These are quite nice as well.The one gripe is that the iced tea is served in an 8 ounce plastic cup with 6 ounces of ice. 2 ounces of iced tea is an absolute miss in every sense of the word as no refills are given. Please fix this by giving larger cups, especially at the high price point. We paid $63 for two sandwiches, 2 drinks and 2 pastries and a cookie, so this is not cheap at all.

After many months of stalking on social media I finally made it here. I was blown away by how delicious everything I tried was. The combo of flavors and quality is really appreciated. It's in the lobby of the museum which is spacious and has a lot of natural light even an outdoor section. The croissants are amazing as well as the tiny nata. In love with the cruffin and the pumpkin pie. Service was fast and friendly. Highly recommend.
