About this restaurant

  • Innovative
  • Great for craft beers
  • Neighborhood gem
Mortar & Pestle revives the old-time tradition of a neighborhood pharmacy in Seminole Heights, for those who crave a relaxed pace, personal touch, and handcrafted flavor.


Inspired by America’s historic mom-and-pop drugstores, where pharmacists once filled prescriptions and mixed ice cream sodas with equal skill, Mortar & Pestle delivers attentive service for everything from soothing an ache to soothing a sweet tooth.

Fill your everyday prescription needs at our modern, independent pharmacy while you relax in our café next door, savoring craft sodas and espresso drinks with breakfast bites, Florida craft beers, wines, desserts, and small plates. Like the pharmacy soda shops of the early 1900s, Mortar & Pestle is a community gathering place where stories are traded over fizzy concoctions and memories are made from simple moments. Visit us today and discover a new tradition.

    This restaurant has a very limited brunch menu that includes about 10 items with all of the same ingredients just arranged in different ways (sandwich, omelette, "hash"). The eggs were not fresh, the bread over buttered and had clearly been sitting out, nothing seemed fresh. I was surprised nothing seemed fresh because the tables were not full. The service was ehhh. The host was great. He brought us our drinks. Our waiter was unobservant. I took one bite of my meal and he did not ask what was wrong, if I wanted something else, nothing. They were also out of whole milk and raspberries. Overall, I will not be going back. The lack of creative for the menu, complete oblivious waiter, food that had been sitting under a warming light for a while, and overall experience was not worth the trip.

    This was a really cool restaurant. It had an unusual look to it and the food was very tasty. We were a table of 7 and the waitress was attentive to our requests.

    Our server Brandon was awesome. Also, we had a brisket omelette and chicken and waffles. Both were delicious! Highly recommend this place.

    We just moved to Seminole Heights and have been slowly exploring the restaurants in our new neighborhood. Mortar and Pestle is a unique coffee bar slash bar with craft beer and wine on tap. The menu focuses mostly on smoked meats including pork, brisket, and chicken. We tried the smoked sampler and it was delicious! You got to try a little bit of everything and the portions for two people was enough for a meal . The flavors were so yummy and the sauce deliciously complimented the meat with a little bit of sweetness. The wings and brisket were my favorites. The potato salad and cole slaw samplers cut the heaviness of the meats well. It was a perfectly balanced appetizer! We added the cheese plate and smoked veggie sandwich to even out the savoriness. The best part of the cheese board was the naan they served it with- grilled and warm and soft. The veggie sandwich was unique with a smoked portabella mushroom as its base. The hummus had a bit of spice to it and was so delicious. The atmosphere embodies the modern industrial vibe so well. The decor alone is worth the trip for a coffee or beer at the bar!

    Went hete with my 12 yr old son and we both loved our sandwiches. I got the fried chicken sandwich, my son got the Smoked Pork. They were both delicious. The apple coleslaw was refreshingly delightful. Great atmosphere. We felt very welcomed here and will definitely come again.
