St. Pete

Southern Grounds sits at 695 Central Avenue in St. Petersburg's EDGE District, a walkable stretch of locally-owned coffee bars, breweries, galleries, and indie shops that feels more creative urban village than tourist strip. Just steps from Florida CraftArt Gallery, Morean Arts Center, and the murals that line the sidewalks toward Historic Kenwood, our café is a daily stop for remote workers, arts crowd regulars, neighborhood residents, and Central Ave walkers - often with their dogs.
Inside, a bright white space with Florida-inspired murals from a local artist. Couches, tables, and bar seating that work from early-morning coffee through evening wine and live music on weekends. Outside, a sidewalk patio where you can sit with your laptop or your dog and watch the neighborhood unfold. We serve direct-trade Intelligentsia coffee - rare on Central Ave - alongside an all-day menu of elevated breakfast, weekend brunch, healthy bowls, and fresh pastries from Blueberry Bakery. Everything made clean and seed-oil-free, with gluten-free and vegan-friendly options.
Stop in for a co-working session. Grab a latte before exploring the galleries. Meet friends between the Morean and Green Bench Brewing. Pick up catering for your downtown office. Southern Grounds is warm hospitality and chef-driven food in the heart of St. Pete's creative corridor. We're also just minutes from Tropicana Field and the Grand Central District, an easy stop before a Rays game or a day in the Arts District.
