Located in the Milk District, Se7en Bites specializes in nostalgic southern comfort foods with a modern twist, like scratch-made pastries, biscuits, and breakfast sandwiches. This beloved bakery and cafe has risen to local fame, not only for its mouthwatering baked goods but also for its delicious breakfast and lunch offerings.
Chef Trina Gregory has been cooking up southern comfort food in the Milk District for years; way before she was on Guy Fieri’s radar. From the delicious breakfast offerings such as biscuits and gravy to the more indulgent 7th Trimester (my favorite), Se7en Bites is perfect when you’re in the mood for comfort food.
Se7en Bites has plenty of outdoor seating on their back deck for those days when you want to enjoy our amazing Florida weather.
