First time here and I had an amazing experience! Huge shoutout to Zevon for taking such great care of me. Even though it was a packed Saturday with no outdoor seating available, he went out of his way to set up a table and chairs so I didn’t have to wait, such thoughtful service. The food was incredible, and the fact that everything is gluten-free truly made my heart happy. My only wish is that they’d open a location in North Tampa! Highly recommend and can’t wait to come back.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Craft Kafe is a true gem—especially for anyone with gluten sensitivities. My wife has a non-celiac gluten allergy, and it can be hard to find places where she can enjoy a full menu without worry. Thankfully, every time we visit St. Petersburg, we know we can count on this wonderful café. They offer a wide variety of gluten-free options, including things we had mostly given up on—like pastries, spanakopita, and even gluten-free beer! Everything is delicious and made with care. The outdoor seating is spacious and peaceful, perfect whether you're meeting up with friends or just grabbing a quick lunch. We’re so grateful for a spot like this and make it a must-visit every time we’re in town.

Love this place! Both locations are terrific but this one has much more seating. The huge patio area is not just a place to cop-a-squat. There is full service so don't forget to take care of your patio staff! Today was our first time at this location so we both wanted to try something new. Hubs had The Green Giant - walnut ricotta, tomato jam, cucumber, sunflower sprouts. Super helpful staff helped me create exactly what I needed to stay AIP (Autoimmune Protocol) diet compliant - scrambled eggs, greens, & avocado toast. Perfect! We met the owner and were so impressed with him and his staff. When he told me they made GF Brioche I guess my eyes got wide and they gave us a bun to taste. Love love love this place. They don't just serve healthy food. THEY. GET. IT. Their willingness to be flexible and help those of us with dietary restrictions was top notch. I'm giving them an extra star here. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
