Pete’s General, the hub for one of the best bagels in the ‘Burg, will open a new location in the Grand Central District of St. Pete at 2361 1st Avenue South. In addition to its celebrated bagels, this Pete’s General location will also offer baked goods and brunch delights from Le Clementine Bakeshop.
“I am pleased to inform you that soon you will be able to find traditionally made croissants, brioche, confections and more, freshly baked daily, at the new Grand Central District location of Pete’s General,” wrote the bakeshop owner Paulina Gervasi in an announcement on Instagram. “Delicious breakfast, brunch, afternoon snacks, picnic foods, whatever you need, made with so much care by the hands of a neighbor (that’s me). Imagine that friends.”

“Baking has always been my passion. Since I was a little girl, I was in the kitchen making cookies for the holidays. I tried so many different things in life, but I was always drawn back to baking,” said Gervasi in an interview with I Love the ‘Burg writer Kara VanDooijeweert.
