Good food, cool selection on the menu. Would give 5 stars if plastic cups and utensils were not used for dine in service! Would much rather drink out of a real glass :)

Honestly I’d give this place zero stars if possible. I’ve been vegan for 4 years and love eating delicious raw vegan food but unfortunately my experience was anything but pleasant and delicious. To start out I visited here for the first time a few weeks ago. The lady helping at the counter was rude to begin with which was already strike one, then the sign outside said they had a buy one get one free kombucha so my boyfriend and I decided to get that for ourselves and after we left we were trying to figure out why it was so expensive. Well we added everything up and they had charged us for both kombuchas instead of BOGO and those aren’t cheap.. If we knew ahead of time we had to pay normal price we’d never have gotten either of them. Well fast forward to the ordering experience and what I wanted more than anything was the raw tacos. Of course they were out right when I got there. The lady said they were making more but didn’t make it clear as to when they’d be ready. So I had to settle for the pizza slice (I saw it on a YouTube channel so I figured I’d try it since I was heartbroken about the tacos). This slice I received looked nothing like I had seen on tv. It was super skimpy and hardly any of the “cheese” was on it which was disappointing since that was the most flavorful part of the dish. We also had a brownie last time and it was decent but pretty dry. I was very very unhappy about this visit but never expressed my concern because I figured it didn’t matter I wouldn’t ever be back to visit. Oh & the cook in the back had his mask pulled all way down past his chin. When Covid is such a big deal right now and at a health food place of all places you’d think you’d want to protect your customers and ensure your employees are following state guidelines. I’ve seen I’m not the only one who has witnessed this. I really had no plans on ever coming back here but I was in the area again last night and I planned specifically to stop in the store this morning at 7 am as their social media says the new hours are 7-7 daily and I didn’t know what other vegan options I could get this early that would be healthy. I figured maybe I could give this place one more chance and see how their açaí bowl is since you can’t really mess that up.. I had got to the restaurant and was waiting out front since 6:45 am waiting for 7 to hit so I could go in and order and be on my way with my busy day. I waited around till 7:10 to see if maybe someone was running late and still not a single light was turned on in the place. If you’re going advertise new business hours I’d recommend actually fulfilling those hours with being able to actually order food. Smh. If I were you I’d stay away from this place. Everything about it That I’ve witnessed screams terrible.

I tried the hot shot and the turmeric shot. They both were really good and good for you. I also tried the vegan apple cinnamon donut and ohh the heavens it was so good. Definitely will be visiting again. We all enjoyed everything.

This is one of the best vegan restaurants I've eaten at! Highly recommend!

The inside is creative and minimal, loved eating so healthy and staff was nice and knowledgeable of the menu, this bowl was delicious and gave me energy for walking around on a hot day

While staying in St. Petersburg, there were few places open early enough to grab a bite before beating the heat on a hike. This place serves Raw Vegan clientele, which I find to be a very niche' group of people. What's that? Oh the FOOD is Raw Vegan. Ok, glad we got that worked out. They had a very interesting menu and after a while we decided on the java wrap and eggless wrap with some dairy free latte's. The woman behind the counter was very helpful in answering questions and explaining the ingredients and how things were made. The Java Wrap was an interesting textured wrap filled with bananas and a slew of other easy-to-pronounce ingredients. The eggless wrap was pretty tasty as well. It was a neat experience to see what a raw diet might consist of. I'm not sure how healthy it is, but I felt good about myself after eating it, which is important. They were out of their Raw Donuts (I know, right?), but they did have some vegan baked donuts available. I totally cheated and had something that was cooked. Sshhh.. Don't tell! It was pretty tasty too. I would definitely go back to this place and try some of their other items. Nice location in the heart of things, and was easy to find parking in the early morning.

First time today & I loved it! The girl on the counter was really nice, the avocado veggie wrap was good, oh and the coffee was perfect! Thank you so much! Hopefully I’ll visit soon since I don’t live close.

DELICIOUS food and friendly staff. The last few months they are often continually out of a few of the items on the menu. Disheartening but I guess comes with repercussions of COVID.Kind of gross how dogs are allowed inside and staff pets them, not always washing hands after. That’s a big St. Pete thing thing, not just this place.Overall surely a great gem in the area!

I really like this place! The one in Oldsmar closes earlier than this one so I ventured over to St Pete. Contrary to the below review, masks were being worn like the typical, although since, 1, most people REUSE them and hang them and place them everywhere, I’m not a stickler personally myself for mask uses of a business, I’m sure it was possible for people to unknowingly have contagious diseases EVERYWHERE you go before covid as well. It's the world we live in! Stay home and make your own food if you’re actually trying to stay bubbled....it appears you still ate the food AND went back Rox Sea so was your goal ACTUAL concern? Or control? My food was great! The staff was SUPER pleasant and yes I have a problem with the “mask police” trying to take people down and control them by hurting their business even though the food and service are great. LolNot everyone has to do what you want them to(even though once again you probably STILL ate the food) just because you have a certain belief, that there is actually plenty of evidence that “masks” are mostly a placebo at this time, people grasping for every ounce of control in a time of great uncertainty and fear. Calm down a bit, and think before you try to take hard working people down over this...also most people reuse masks so what are you really accomplishing. Masks that actually protect(even when they do DO the jobs that they are MEANT for) are not meant to be reused. It’s not really fair to scapegoat your fear of this entire pandemic onto one restaurant in one moment. I’ve been to places where the workers don’t use a mask AT ALL. You would have really hated it, Rox Sea! You have a CHOICE. Don’t go back or ask for your money back if you don’t like the choice, instead of permanently one-starring them for something people have every right to do...and then eating the food anyways...and GOING BACK lololol..for such a "one-star" place you didn't say that you didn't eat the food AND you went back. Covid can get to ANYONE with or without masks. I’ve heard all types of stories. Have you thought about phones???? You realize people probably don’t mask up at home, right? Now everyone throw out your phone. I usually don’t leave reviews, but this place is GREAT. And the level of entitlement in that last review just got to me. lol Make your own food then or stop going there if it was that much of a 1 star experience for you! You’re just controlling! If you all have ever worked hard enough to own a business, I'm sure you wouldn't so freely just be out here one-starring people in this manner. One-starring a business that you "liked before covid" for this issue is PETTY and VERY controlling. Did you leave them 5 stars when you liked them? Or are you self-centered enough to only let the world know when someone does something you don't like? Not everyone feels the same way as you about this. Did you even try to talk to them or "the manager" before you posted this...and then ate the food anyways? I'm more worried about people who act like this then I am about whatever "safety" issue you think was being curt-tailed in that moment....right before you ate the food anyways. Your safest option in this world is to STAY HOME!This is how much I like this place, people. lol I mostly go to the one in Oldsmar simply because of distance, but the St. Pete one actually has way better hours right now so I am SUPER thankful for that. I really appreciate them offering raw food and staying open at this time, when they could very well just close. I was just there a few days ago. Had the rawghetti with Alfredo sauce and the orange screamsicle smoothie. Will definitely be back!

Wouldn't recommend take out from here. I ran to get it on my lunch break. Got the raw'gehtti and burger platter. Got two tiny burger things with hardly any veggies on it and no slaw. All Portions were really small for $25 lunch. Food was good but would only eat in house.
I loved this place before Covid, but I visited twice this week and both times the cashier and person serving my food were wearing their masks with noses exposed. This second time I watched the person preparing the food as his mask was down around his chin. Unacceptable. It's a shame because the food is good, but you would think somewhere that values healthy, organic food would also value their customer's safety.

I am usually not the type to give reviews for any business but decided to take my time to do so for this restaurant. I ordered on UberEats, spend over $70 for literally 4 items. Half of the items we ordered never arrived and the ones that did arrive we had to throw everything away. We couldn’t eat anything. The salad had so much salt that it literally hurt my mouth, wrap pate tasted sour, my drink never arrived, 2 cakes were frozen. I called the store and explained to the that I ate there before and this was horrible. I got horrible customer service reply. Oh you can just claim refund on Uber. Well I couldn’t claim my refund and had to throw this food away. I hope someone in management will read this and do some control in the kitchen. Horrible experience.

We went to this cafe today and I had the avocado veggie wrap and my friends ordered other items. All of the food we got was very good and we loved the atmosphere. There were games on our table as well and we played most of them ?. Definitely check this place out and support these local businesses, especially right now.

Amazing raw vegan food, was extremely impressed at the quality, price, and deliciousness of the food. The place was very clean, cute, relaxed atmosphere and awesome staff. It was lovely to be able to get quality food at a reasonable price. Wish we lived closer.

Stopped in here midday (during the pandemic) and it was mighty quiet. There weren't any other vegan restaurants open in the area so we ended up here. I'm usually not a fan of ordering raw food out because it can be expensive for such little portions. I figured we'd try this place anyways and it wasn't bad. I got the Raw Pizza Slice which seemed to be more of a cracker with coleslaw on top. It was tasty, but pizza it was not. My husband actually ordered a Bruin Burger with fries, which obviously wasn't raw. He wanted the burger that's on the menu but apparently they were out so the Beyond Burger was the second choice. It was a little small but it was a typical Beyond Burger. Overall, this was a nice health food place but being on vacation, we were looking for some real good vegan food. I'd definitely recommend this place if you were looking to get something light and healthy though. Side note: there's a changing table in the bathroom with diapers, which I thought was pretty awesome. Thanks guys!
