Central Coffee Shoppe

Now Called Central Diner, this place is your typical old fashioned diner. It's been around since the mid 70"s and is filled with mostly locals, so I'm glad I stumbled on it.Great coffee with refills and delicious pancakes. Service was good too. Walking distance from most downtown hotels and definitely not touristy. It has a real 70's diner vibe.

STOP, DON'T WAIST your time! This used to be a local weekly place to go. Now resold several times and the food is cheap quality. Pushing out food to make money to those who visit our city and have never been there. Sad to say cleaner environment is also a consideration. They should only have dogs allowed outside it's ok but inside with such a small area? Better places to enjoy.

Everything was perfect! Our server Dawn was friendly and attentive. All of the food tasted like "home". Good coffee and very reasonable prices.

This awesome diner has been a staple in St Pete since the 70's. Not much has changed inside or on their menu. Best omelettes, biscuits and gravy and hash browns. We sat outside and enjoyed the ambiance of the sounds of the city. Skateboards, loud car music and of course e-bikes whizzing by. Great coffee too! Grits fried eggs ham hash browns all fantastic! Happy Mother's Day!

C'è qualcosa di magico nell'essere in una tavola calda al mattino con un caff�è caldo fumante e un panino caldo per la colazione con buona musica in sottofondo.

This hole in the wall was delicious! The staff were working super fast and efficiently which indicated this was a good diner. The coffee was delicious which is a must for a breakfast place. Free coffee refills and waiters checked on us frequently which is nice as they were very clearly busy. The food was 10/10 the only slight downside was it was a bit pricy for breakfast but it could be because it is in a major area in St. Pete. Still super worth it to try and will be back again!

Now called "Central Diner' this place never fails me: good food out fast and a lively vibe! There is no seating for party's over 4 so keep this in mind. Could do without the person cleaning tables and openly burping though. That was not appreciated.

Best home cooked breakfast!Staff rocks. Place is cleaning. Chef and helpers rock the eggs.

This is your good old fashioned coffee shop. The kind we went to back in the day but you don't see a lot of in downtown St Pete today. Friendly service. Straightforward and simple breakfast menu. Great food...eggs, grits, pancakes, sausage, bacon, biscuits, omelets, etc. They also offer a lunch menu with hamburgers, club sandwiches, salads, patty melts, grilled cheese, etc. Great prices compared to all the places here in St Pete. Small parking lot on side of building and Metered parking along Central Ave.

No avocado toast here, just great eats with traditional American breakfast stuff. Speedy service, priced right, and excellent made-to-order.
