On the campus of University of South Florida--St. Pete, and next to the Tavern, a local watering hole akin to Harry's Chocolate Shop in West La La--exists a new coffee shop. Previously the space was home to Bayboro Books, but now it is called The Campus Grind with a subtext: Coffee Bar.
I looked at the open space plan and noted that the AC was in full effect. A plus living out here in the South, and in St Petersbug. It shouldn't take anytime at all for students, professors, et cetera to find themselves here. Not to mention the hallway space allows for Tavern clientele to glide over (students of my LIT 3451: Literature & Occult course will appreciate the "glide" reference) and eat, sip and be merry.
I ordered a Cafe Latte and a regular coffee with refills to boot in my Belize, bamboo mug of course. What can I say, when Black Phoenix is caffeinating, he must drink. Besides coffee products (cold or hot), smoothies are available, as is tea; moreover, they have croissants, cinnamon buns, muffins, bagels, cranberry bread, parfait, mixed fruit bowl and even breakfast sandwiches such as: croissant, ham, egg and cheese as well as bagel, turkey sausage, egg and cheese.
Clearly, a place with "Stuff to get you Going" as well as "Stuff to Start your Day"! So far, I recommend the Campus Grind, a friendly aesthetically pleasing and cool hang out for the caffeination. When you arrive, say hello to Gavin for me.
Open (for Summer hours): 7 a.m.--6 p.m.
