Nestled in a beautiful neighborhood, offering the best coffee and pastries in an eclectic neighborhood storefront... complete with a lending library outside the front door - note the stencil on the sidewalk in front of it! This is a great place to curl up with a book and a cuppa, or take advantage of the free WiFi and catch up on your work over a muffin.

Tucked into the residential area, ONET has a friendly neighborhood vibe when downtown is crowded. Try the coleslaw as a side - it is fantastic, and unlike any other coleslaw. Also of note is their beer cheese soup in a bread bowl, really good sandwiches, pizzas, and salads, and a wide variety of local beers.

Parks & Nature

This unspoiled county park at the most southern end of Pinellas County offers fishing, walking/biking/hiking trails, kayak and canoe rentals, historic ruins to explore, picnic tables and shelters, and miles of beautiful, natural beach. There is a great dog beach adjacent to a fenced dog park (one for small dogs and another for larger dogs). Don't miss the ferry to Egmont Key for an even more pristine experience... it is only accessible by water.

In 2017, St. Pete Beach was voted the #3 Best Beach in America (Clearwater Beach, just north of SPB, came in #4) by TripAdvisor. Four miles of sugar white sand and gentle gulf waves make this beach a spectacular destination. Be sure to park and pay in designated parking spaces, as towing by local businesses is always a possibility - parking can be limited on busy days.
