St. Pete Beach's Grove Surf and Coffee to open new cafe on Indian Rocks Beach 

Riding a wave of growth, the owners behind the popular retail surf shop and specialty coffee bar Grove Surf + Coffee in St. Pete Beach are expanding into Indian Rocks Beach with an entirely new concept.

Unlike its sister shop, which only serves coffee, pastries, and baked goods, the new Grove Surf Cafe will be equipped with a full commercial kitchen, offering a full food and drink menu when it opens this Wednesday at 1309 Gulf Boulevard on Indian Rocks Beach.

The space previously housed Salt Public House and shares the same building with the Nekton Surf Shop.
