GLUTEN FREE BAKERY that is absolutely crushing the pastry and baked goods game! Not to mention the BEST peppermint latte I’ve ever had! Both locations hit every time!
These pictures are from the West Saint Pete location which is in our neighborhood. The DTSP location has one of the best and honestly a quite unique oversized covered outside sitting area.

We Had:

👉🏼 Breakfast pizza with eggs, spinach, feta and tomato 🍕

👉🏼 Potato & carmalized onion quiche 🤤

👉🏼 Carrot Cake Cupcake 🧁

👉🏼 The Craft with eggs, chicken sausage, avocado cream, pepper jack

☕️ 1 hot & 1 cold Peppermint Latte with Marshmallow Foam SO GOOD!! ❤️

Whether you are gluten free or not this place is literally to die for! Everything is made fresh and with love! When we first moved to west Saint Pete we ate here 3 times in one week 😅 yes it’s that good!! In a city swamped with coffee shops on every corner, Craft Kafe is an absolute stand out! One of the best local spots in the Burg for sure!

⛵️Gulfport Brewery is one of our personal favorite spots to meet up with friends for delicious local brews & food! The food is always fresh and creative! I absolutely love that the chef is constatly changing up the specials.

The atmosphere is so welcoming with the house being a historic Gulfport Bungalow. You walk in to a comfortable living room vibe with board games and sofa chairs. We typically sit outside so that the kids can play in the shells and we can enjoy the live music. This spot is truly a gem!

✨ Fortu is a Pan-Asian steakhouse that recently opened in DTSP. We met another couple there for dinner and had the ultimate family-style dining experience! Many of Fortu’s dishes are meant to share with the table. I love trying a little bite of everything so this is my favorite way to dine. 😋 The food, ambience and service all left us saying we would absolutely go back. Their cocktails and desserts are definitely worth mentioning! If you are a sake lover they have an extensive Sake menu. 🍶

🇲🇦 Cybel - French Moroccan Fusion 🌯
One of the best NEW spots in the Burg!

Quick back story: Cybel made its Saint Pete introduction at the downtown pick up and delivery ghost kitchen, Foodie Labs! We were so excited when we saw their sign go up at the NEW brick and mortar location!!

📍 2735 5th Ave N, St. Petersburg, FL 33713

What We Had :
🌯French Taco with Jerk Chicken, FRENCH FRIES, all six sauces (just trust me it’s delicious) & all toppings. It’s a beautiful messy disaster and the flavors are out of this world!

🌯Chicken Shwarma on pita with a Mediterranean side salad. The perfect balance of fresh & savory!

We are thrilled to see this locally owned, family run, business thriving in our neighborhood! It was so cool meeting Chef Touf! Such a humble guy curating some of the tastiest meals in the Burg! The portions are massive but the flavors he’s throwing down are even bigger! I’m excited to dine in next time and explore the other entrees.

FUN FACT: It’s Bring Your Own Bottle! 🍷
