About the Business

Specialties

Paciugo Gelato & Caffe has been whipping up sweet treats for St. Petersburg since 2006. With 36 small-batch gelato flavors made fresh daily, you're bound to sit down with a homemade waffle cone full of happiness! But if you're not in the mood for gelato, our coffee bar has you covered with lattes, shakes, and our most-popular affogato. Whether you're dropping by after an afternoon at the local art museums or you're starting your day off with our new breakfast menu, we promise you'll be planning your next visit before you even leave. We also offer catering and curbside pickup, so gelato is never completely out of reach!

Business Owner

Both Natives of St. Petersburg, Mark and Debbie jumped at the opportunity to purchase Paciugo Gelato and Caffe in August 2017.  Having been customers since the cafe opened they were eager to take over an establishment that is a popular meeting spot on Beach Drive.  They have expanded the menu to include cold brew coffee, nitro coffee, nitro-gelato floats, as well as an extensive selection of ice cold beverages.
