St. Petersburg beauty: Cassis American Brasserie

Last Thursday, I spent the day strolling around beautiful St. Petersburg, Florida. My grandmother was in town from out of state, so her, my mom and myself enjoyed the lovely day. I really enjoy days like this, when you can be a tourist in your own town!

My grandmother loved the funky horse on the 600 Block!
 
One of my favorite things about these kind of days, is finding places or meeting people you never knew. It's very energizing and I find it very inspiring!
 
Walking about I stumbled accross Cassis American Brasserie on Beach Drive. The restaruant boasts a beautiful sculpture that catches the most beautiful sunlight creating amazing colors dancing on the side walk.

We already had lunch, so we weren't very hungry, however in addition to the restaurant, there is a great little bakery off to the side, so we stopped in for some coffee. I was so pleased with the simple decor.
 
One thing I love most about the space is the floor design! This is one of my all time favorite patterns, it looked great in the space...
 
 
 
Such a clean palette, the beautiful sorbet display provides such visual eye candy in contrast to the shiny while tile and black and white graphic pattern.
 
 
Oh and did I mention their assortment of divine pastries? So beautiful!
 
So happy I stumbled across this pretty little place, can't wait to try out the actual restaraunt sometime, they offer a great happy hour, maybe I will see you there!

    1. Haha! I KNOW! I am dying to try it some time. The coffee was so yummy, can't imagine the food. If you go sometime let me know how it was, I'm curious!
