Ok I ACCIDENTALLY stumbled into this one looking for a quick breakfast and coffee and WOW! My husband and I were talking about it the rest of the day about how good it was!! You’re doing alright Jerome! We went in and saw there was a line so thought ok it’s gotta be good! We ordered some ham and mozzarella thing I can’t even remember what it was called (see pics) but it was so delicious!!! It had me so quiet while I was eating it so I could enjoy it in silence they even had sample pistachio croissants and wowww it was also so good!!! Then we drank our coffee after letting it cool down a bit and wow it was the best coffee!! I saw a sign that showed they were going to be closed for like 3 weeks coming up for vacations and I’m like wow I just know this place Is doing amazing to even be able to do that and you can’t even be upset because they got the right recipes, they should be able to enjoy their lives! It was so cute inside too! Very happy with this place!!!

My husband had this beautiful chocolate cake made for his moms 70th birthday at Jeromes. He wanted something special for her special day and this cake didn't dissapoint. It was not only beautiful but the taste was divine, with different layers of chocolate, a thin layer of chocolate cake, fruit and shaved chocolate on the top. It was perfection , everyone loved it!!

We're so happy to have found Jerome's Cafe & Bakery. We have been looking for a great French bakery and this is it. The cream chocolate chip croissant is fantastic and if you're eating there get it warmed up. You'll be glad you did. Everything we had was delicious. You can taste the passion of Chef Jerome in everything he creates. Thank you for sharing your love of French baking with the Tampa Bay area Chef Jerome.

Great selection of French fresh baked goods and delicious lunch items. I eat at Jerome’s once or twice a week and the food is very consistently delectable. Don’t expect fine cuisine at expensive prices: most lunch options are in the 10-15 range and portions are very filling. I recommend without hesitation!

We are so fortunate to have this shop in Countryside. Everything is clearly made with care, and the ingredients are so fresh and meticulously prepared. Do yourself a favor and have the apple brie sandwich. I hype this spot to anyone who will listen. It's one of my favorites.

Went for brunch, there’s a lot of great options! The coffee is sooooo good! I got regular coffee on ice with caramel flavoring. I had a vegan savory crepe & a sweet danish. It was an interesting combo and very tasty. My husband got the croissant French toast and he thought it was really delicious. I think there’s something for everyone here with a large menu to choose from. The place is very clean, the staff is super friendly and helpful and there’s plenty of seating inside & out.

A puff pastry a day keeps the doctor away—trust me, just roll with it. Chef Jerome has outdone himself with this Boulangerie meets Patisserie. Search no more for traditional flavors and confectionery dreams come true. I sampled a lot and I can confirm each treat was amazing and tasted absolutely delicious! I sought out an egg and cheese croissant and a double espresso to start. I’m happy to report the egg was fluffy and the cheese was cheesy but more importantly the croissant was flaky and buttery. I ate it too fast to photograph. Next up was the delightful apricot tart with a buttery crispy crust and sweet juicy apricots. I also got the apple tart, guava cheese pastry and saving the best for last the pear almond and decadent opera cake. I also snagged a fresh baked baguette. Excellent service even better food served in a warm environment with plenty of seating inside and out. It was busy for a reason! I will return for the Vegan crepe. They had everything one could imagine except for Kouign-amann.

Jerome is the best chef in town. We used to frequent his old spot and decided to drop in to his newer cafe and it was absolutely delicious. We will be back soon. I had the veggie quiche it was so so good. I only wish they had the fries at this new location because those are so amazing. And I do prefer full table service restaurants. But honestly this was so enjoyable and delectable. Thank you Jerome.
