    For many years I have been constantly coming to St. Pete and it is always a pleasant experience, courteous and very respectful people. We were near this area looking for a place to buy something to drink and continue with our pass, however, Bianca who I assume is the owner and besides being extremely rude, discriminated against my family by refusing to give us service. In addition to that, what happened left her premises to try to intimidate us with the police because, according to her, we are invading private property when we are outside her premises. And minutes later she chased us to take photos of my family… including my two minor children and my sister's children who are also minors and with special conditions… You should definitely be careful with this place. There are many more places around where you will spend as if you were at home, well cared for, courteous, respected and without discrimination.

    I absolutely love Bianca’s! Everything is organic and farm fresh!!! She has bread dough shipped from Germany & pastries from France ~ baked fresh daily. Been coming here every day for 5-years religiously lol. It’s honestly a piece from Heaven where you can relax and eat truly delicious food! If you are in a hurry - that’s not the place for you as it’s not fast food establishment with microwaveable food. Hope you enjoy!!!

    Owner is the sweetest and clearly cares about service and quality of food. Place is small and quaint. I had a caramel cappuccino and a bacon, egg, ham, cheese and spinach croissant which was delicious and freshly made.

    This is a great little cafe and coffee shop with eclectic decor, charming atmosphere and relaxing music. The iced chai tea is tasty and served in charming mason jars. The pumpkin cream soup with grilled cheese was delicious. Friendly service as well.

    My partner and I came in, I have a skin disorder currently being treated by a new medication. I was having an allergic reaction to the new med and due to loss of vision desperately needed to flush out my eyes. At the front door it said that non-customers could not use the restroom and that offenders would be charged $5. Desperate for relief, we decided to enter and go directly to the staff to pay for me using the restroom, so they would know we weren't trying to deceive them. Upon entering, we were stopped by what I assume is the owner. In front of all of the customers she said I could not use the restroom and started raising her voice. We began to explain that it was emergency and that I was having an allergic reaction to a new medication and needed to flush my eyes, but she wouldn't let us speak. She kept saying the restroom was only for customers. I brought out the medication to show her we were telling the truth and really were willing to pay the $5 fee and she insisted only customers could use the restroom, that I was not allowed. So then my partner offered to step in line to buy a coffee so that I could use the restroom and the owner began to yell, telling us to leave her shop. At this point I am in tears trying to explain that we would do whatever we needed to to do have access to cold water and she started waving her hands and yelling more, making her way to in front of us. I left, in shock by the way we were treated, and headed down the block in desperate search for any open business. Luckily a church graciously let us in and I was able to gain my vision back. But this business owner is incredibly hateful, disrespectful, aggressive, and seems to be homophobic. I have never been treated so awfully by a business and am disheartened to see a business in as progressive of a place as Saint Pete Central Station Street, famous for being the "Gayborhood", showing absolute hatred, discrimination, and intolerance.

    Update: You're welcome and thanks, Bianca! Take good care. Until next time, be safe and be well. Excellent food! The owner is lively and interesting and takes so much pride in her work. She makes the food by hand. I had a delicious ham and swiss on a croissant and my friend enjoyed his meal (can't remember what he ordered). My orange juice arrived in a fancy glass and the German potato salad on the side was incredible! Unfortunately my friend and I left before she was open the following day or we would have paid La Deja Vu another visit. Next time! Thanks!

    The mains were prepared fresh to order. There isn't an artificial flavor or processed food in the whole building. The baked goods are out of this world. The flour is all king Arthur brand, and imported spelt. The owner is super friendly and knowledgeable. Give this place a shot. I couldn't stop myself from trying everything before taking a picture

    European soul food brought to you by the fabulous Bianca! Want Parisian croissants, authentic Schnitzel or homemade pastries? Come on down. You will NOT regret this visit. Fresh ingredients that don't weight you down but makes your heart sing for more. Wonderful Bohemian atmosphere with the best owner in St. Pete. Thanks again Bianca!!

    I went there with my 2 teenage kids and we were holding bags with us, I stepped inside and looked for a place to keep the bags and settle so that I could order. The lady at the counter told me I need to order before we can sit, which would have been fine if we were not holding these heavy bags. Anyway, then we stood in line and waited while the lady at the counter kept talking to someone before us for quite sometime. One of the customers saw us with all our bags and offered us her chair to sit which was very kind, I put my bag on her chair and continued waiting. Finally my son suggested we go somewhere else and we left without anything. I think whoever was at the counter needs to learn “courtesy” towards people who walk in there. She was downright rude. Never ever had an experience like this.

    I personally don't write reviews very often. But this place deserves it. Whenever I walked in it immediately felt cozy and warm. The older woman working at the time was so sweet and kind. She told me that I could stay up until she left and I took her up on that. She made my experience so memorable and happy. I hope that her and this business gain a lot more attention!! She made it feel like a home and I hope more people can experience that. Also the coffee was great!! Thankyou so much for this experience, I will definitely be back as soon as I can!!

    If you are in a hurry, this place is not for you and you'll likely hate it. But if you want to enjoy some of the best food in St. Pete in a relaxed setting and at a very reasonable price, you'll likely love it. The menu has a very European flavor and changes daily, it's always difficult to choose because everything is a work of cooking art. Nice selection European beers too. And then the desserts, OMG the desserts! :-)

    The food as always was tasty and organic, freshly baked, and very friendly owner and atmosphere. They recently started fresh squeezed orange juice which during the summer time feels very refreshing. We will definitely come again and again. It’s a nice place to hang out with friends. It’s small but it has very cozy vibes.

    I am a frequent customer of this restaurant. It is a neighborhood gem. The owner, Bianca, is personable and focused on providing healthy drinks and delicious food. It is a great restaurant if you're looking for a "home atmosphere." I recommend that you not be in a hurry because there is typically just Bianca serving the entire bistro. The regular customers appreciate not being rushed, and enjoy the wonderful cooking. A German and European influence prevails. In December, the Christmas tree by the front door is delightful. Throughout the year the menu and decor changes to reflect seasonal holidays.

    Absolutely gorgeous food, atmosphere, everything. Clean but homey. Games and puzzles are piled everywhere amongst an array of eclectic furniture and art. The owner Bianca is wonderful -- she remembers all of her customers by name, and she's friendly and informative. SHE MAKES HER OWN CHAI! Who does that? 😍 It's next on my list. Iced mocha was fabulous, it took everything in me to not gulp it down all at once. Croissants are to die for. We've ordered here from a delivery service but the ambiance and presentation in-house is unmatched. Lunch menu changes every day and she sells out. Oh, and there's beer ☺️ We're debating going back for lunch! Convenient location right across from the post office and Williams park. Just go, you'll be glad you did

    Stopped here randomly and loved it! Owner is very cool and friendly (we discussed Germany and my husbands great great grandparents being from the southern region). The menu was amazing and my kids loved the cheese pastry! I ordered an iced dirty chai and it was probably one of the best ones I've had. Super cozy and will be going here from now on for my morning drinks while in town. Also, can't wait to try some cabbage rolls!

    I look forward to my Saturday mornings when I can order a delicious pastry and the BEST chai tea latte everrrr from here. This place is super cute and homey, the drinks are always made to perfection, the food is always new and yummy (especially the pastries, truly the best around) and the customer service is always friendly. Love love love 🤗

    Stumble upon this lovey, book filled cafe today, and I’m so glad I did! Gorgeous pasteries, great sandwiches, all family owner and operated. Stop in for a read and a tea, you’ll be glad you did :)

    Stumbled across this lovely and quaint cafe. The owner, Bianca, was very warm and attentive. I've been looking for a good croissant and I finally found the place for them. She baked some fresh almond croissants, I am just so delighted with my first encounter.

    First visit. In st Pete for the day and decided to stop for a quick lunch. Delicious chicken salad sandwich. Great service. Friendly and would absolutely go again and try a new dish.

    I have been coming to see Bianca at her cafe for about 6 years now! We have a catering and wedding planning company shop near hers, so I always stop in for coffee and her AMAZING pastries when I am at our St Pete office location. It is not often you find food like this anymore. Everywhere is so processed for speed and her food is truly a labor of love. My favorite is anything with apple!! She had one today, an Apple strudel, that she HAND PEELED the apples for, and topped with homemade whipped cream (not the stuff from the can). I mean, where can you find a lovely coffee shop and eatery that does that anymore?! I love the eclectic decor, but my chats with Bianca the most. Her work ethic is unmatched. If you are looking for a gem in St Pete for an amazing breakfast, lunch, dessert or coffee, please do yourself a favor and see for yourself just how passionate she is about her cafe!! ❤️

    We're Florida natives & just discovered this super homey bistro. My taste buds are riddled with delight. The owner is so charming & its so hard finding a homemade bistro. We'll be coming back! 🤗💖💕

    Wow such a cute little hidden gem! Definitely a vibe in its own and the food is amazing. Chef is wonderful and we loved chatting with her! Will definitely be back for some yummy hot chocolate, pastries and German cuisine 🥰 Prost!

    La Deja Vu is a gem! I love the ambience of this place! Croissants, pasties and desserts are delightful. Ms. Bianca is really nice and friendly.

  • 5/5 Jessie R. 1 year ago on Google
    Great food and service!! I have been going here for coffee for awhile. The chia latte is superb. I love the cozy atmosphere and the owner is always so welcoming. We went there for my dirthday yesterday and the owner went above and beyond. The food was fresh and super tasty. This place is a true 5 star.

  • 5/5 Yuliana C. 2 years ago on Google
    I love this place and Bianca. It is amazing she makes everything from scratch with wonderful ingredients. The food and the pastries are just fantastic. The cafe feels like going to visit some friend’s home. It is very cozy.

  • 5/5 Jourdan D. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious chai and quiches! The menu ranges from soups, salads, specials like meatloaf, goulash etc. Bianca is a really neat person as long as you treat her and her place with respect. She's a one woman show so when it's busy you have to be patient and polite. Simple as that. I love coming here to read or work on a puzzle on a relaxing afternoon.
