Great breakfast. The gluten free bread is delicious. We had the chicken avocado cream and the traditional breakfast sandwich with an iced latte.

Grateful for so many phenomenal GF options! I enjoyed the best cinnamon roll in years at Craft. I also ordered a breakfast sandwich — very good. My iced latte was also great, so glad they have oat milk, too!

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!!

We love Craft Kafe! We enjoyed this location a little more than the other as it's a bit more open with more room to sprawl out. As someone who can't eat gluten, this place is a dream. They have delicious drinks and their Chicken avocado cream sandwich is just SO good! The staff is very friendly and helpful in making decisions as well. 10/10 recommend of you're in St. Pete!

The golden girl superfood latte was pleasantly delightful. The traditional kafe sandwich was good, but I wouldn't do the chicken sausage again because it tasted a bit like nail polish remover. Everything else was good. Nice place for breakfast.

We stopped here three times on our short trip because we loved it so much! We tried almost everything and were never disappointed. The staff was super friendly and everything was delicious! As someone who is gluten free it was a delight to be able to choose from everything and know I wouldn't be glutened! I particularly enjoyed the specialty lattes, pretty in pink, golden girl and flower power.

Delicious!! Definitely a great spot if you are gluten-free. The carrot cake is my favorite! The atmosphere is wonderful. You can sit outside and enjoy a nice day with your family… plenty of seating and very dog friendly. I take my dog with me every time and they even provide water bowls for your fur baby. Great spot!!
