With the hustle and bustle lifestyle of downtown St. Pete, it’s always nice to take a breather at the corner coffee shop. At Craft Kafe, you can find delicious coffee options from cold brew to espressos in addition to their specialty coffee menu. Their specialty menu flavors up your typical coffee options. I always get the Hot Mom which is an iced caramel latte with almond milk. Simple, yet delicious. They make their own almond milk and it’s creamy and divine. The food is all gluten-free and magnificent. I highly recommend getting a slice of their quiche.
