Since it’s a little too cold to lay on Clearwater Beach right now, head to the newly-opened Blessed Cup cafe and grab a hot latte to warm up. Might as well ditch the dreams of that beach body and stock up on its sweet treats too.
The shop has been slinging coffee, snacks, merch and locally roasted coffee beans out of its brick-and-mortar since quietly opening in late December (Blessed Cup started as an online-only coffee bean distributor.)
Blessed Cup also offers a few light bites alongside its extensive drink menu; imagine waffles and homemade fruit cake that might change your opinion of the famously-hated Christmas staple. The new Clearwater spot also has sandwiches, salads, and light breakfast options.
Blessed Cup is now open from 8 a.m.- 9 p.m. daily at 483 Mandalay Ave. on Clearwater Beach and features both inside and outside patio seating.
