Chocolate cake
Christina G.

The chocolate cake is to die for. I am a baked goods snob. There, I said it. I try to maintain a somewhat healthy diet so when I eat sweets it better well be good or else I cry at the lost calories. (I'm not exaggerating, my husband knows to avoid me if I have a bad meal, because I will be a witch for the rest of the day.) I always know that Curious Cat Bakery doesn't disappoint. I've eaten bad cake, heck, I've baked bad cake. You know, the cake that is dry and crumbly. I've had cake that looks beautiful so you forgive how it tastes by saying, hey, how can I expect a cake to be both beautiful and taste good. Well, Curious Cat Bakery has raised my standards and now I don't order a cake from anywhere else. I have to throw in here that this is coming from a non vegan, so I have my options when it comes to ordering cake. However, like I wrote, I don't trust other places to always deliver. I've gotten my son's birthday cake from here, demanded my husband order my birthday cake from here and ordered my dad's birthday cake from here. Every time it's been amazing. Most of my friends aren't vegan and I serve this cake to them. That's the magic trick, they can't tell it's vegan unless I tell them. My dad even said how is it so moist without butter and eggs? Magic? I don't know, but it is very good. The frosting is dense, sugary and chocolatey. Again, how is this vegan? Who knows and who cares, it's freaking delicious. It's always decorated beautifully too. Look at my picture with the chocolate covered strawberries and the flowers. It's very elegant. Right now during COVID-19 the best part is they deliver. And if you live in St. Petersburg, you're lucky, because your delivery is FREE! I live over the bridge so my delivery is $15, but it is well worth it. The cake in the picture is only $40. Trust me, I've priced out a lot of cake over the years and this one is a steal even with the delivery fee. I ended up sending a piece of cake to three neighbors and we have enough left over to last us a week. An idea for you, that I already implemented, is send your friends cookies. Since delivery in St. Petersburg is free (did I mention that?) I sent a friend who's husband is vegan some cookies with a note saying I miss her. It's a cheap and delicious way to brighten someone's day. Thank you for coming to my TED talk about why Curious Cat Bakery is the only place you should go for cake. My son's birthday is in July so I'm sure pictures will be coming soon.

Carrot cake with chocolate frosting

I was looking for a healthy birthday cake to suit our family members' dietary restrictions and stumbled upon Natalia's lovely bakery. I contacted her via phone and she answered immediately. I was looking for a 30th birthday cake that was both fun and tasty. She suggested a variety of flavors and was extremely helpful. I decided on a carrot cake "30" cake, which she described as tasting similar to yellow cake. I fed this cake to 9 people and did not tell them it was vegan - they LOVED IT and thought it was in fact yellow cake. The cake was decorated with Natalia's signature cookies, truffles, and macaroons. My guests raved about the macaroons but loved absolutely everything about the cake. Natalia was able to fulfill my order in four days and was very accommodating with pickup, including offering to deliver my order. She was a pleasure to work with and I will certainly work with her in the future. Thank you Natalia!

Recently ordered the Lemon Lavender vegan cake for my daughter's birthday, and it was a HUGE hit! Everyone loved the moist cake, tasty blackberry filling, and the subtle hint of lavender in the frosting. Thank you so much, Natalia! We have found a new favorite bakery in our family!

Mimosa cupcake, croissant, and cookie butter donut
Savanna C.

Amazing pastries which never disappoint me and wonderful E-Books! Whether you want something sweet like one of the amazing cookies or cupcakes or something a little more savory like a croissant, there's something for every occasion.

Plain and Chocolate Croissants.

Delicious Vegan Croissants. I ordered them online and they arrived super fast even though I'm across the country in CA. The packaging was great. The box arrived a little beat up, but the croissants looked perfect cause they were packaged with care. I was only able to try the plain and chocolate croissants, and I hope that the other flavors will be available nationwide soon.

Good Intentions - Crab fries

Came to Tampa for the Florida State Fair, spent the night before, and I wanted to find somewhere…read morenice for dinner. My vegan friend recommended Good Intentions, and I haven't had a nice vegan dinner in a while, so I decided to come see what this place was all about, in honor of my beloved Ethos. RIP. We make reservations, show up, park anywhere we can find in this wild, wild West portion of town, and start browsing the menu. It sounds absolutely delicious. We started off with the Southern Sriracha Crab Cakes (Hearts of palm and jackfruit crab cakes, sriracha pimento, Thai chili glaze, seitan bacon crumbles, pickled fresno, scallion, sesame). These were great. Very crispy, the inside was the spitting image of crab cake filler, and there was just enough Old Bay to really sell it. Spicy sauces and other elements made this quite the lovely little app. We also had the Crispy Brussels Sprouts (Dan Dan tahini, toasted cashews, pickled fresnos, scallion). Wow, this was good. Tahini was a great choice, the sprouts were crispy crispy, and the cashews added a wonderful little crunch. My main was the Kimchi Fried Rice (Crispy fried jasmine rice, scrambled JustEgg, kimchi, sweet soy reduction, fried crab balls, kewpie aioli, scallion, sesame seeds). Better than some of the non-vegan fried rices I've had in my life! Great rice with some nice crisp, flavorful but not too funky kimchi, a nice soy sauce, and a nice aioli to sauce things up a bit. I also got to try a bucatini bolognese of some sort that I can't find on the menu anymore. Maybe it was a special. But it was good. Really deceivingly real meat crumbles, a lovely sauce, and bucatini is one of my favorite noodles. Big fan. Overall, this was not a good vegan meal. It was a good meal. I love places like this. I think that more people need exposure to places like this. I'll be back.

Very friendly guy who made excellent recommendations based on flavor and taste. The food was great. Not "great for being vegan," but just great. I was very pleased with the high quality dishes here. Cons: No cons at all. Tips: The whole menu was delicious, but I want to tell you to save room for dessert. That was an excellent cheesecake.

I'm happy to say I was very pleased with how the quiche of the week here tasted. The flavor happened to be spinach and mushroom. It was everything I hoped for--savory, hot, and perfectly balanced with spinach, flaky crust, and whatever magical "egg" substitute/binder they use. For $10 you get the quiche plus a potato salad which tasted better than I expected, mild, full of texture, and pairing well with the soft flavorful quiche. I also got a half Chickpea bakon salad ($12) which was generously loaded with ranch dressing and tasted fresh. All in all, made for a filling and delicious meal. There is indoor and outdoor seating, and overall the place gives comfortable vibes. Service was quick despite being a popular spot on the Sunday I went. The staff members were very friendly and greeted/thanked customers for visiting. The bathroom was clean, and there was free wifi and some charging outlets for those who want to get some work done.

There are so many options but it's like healthy comfort food basically. Everything is labeled allergen wise, there are plenty of gluten and dairy free options and now they have nutritional labels as well. I really love the street corn salad and brussel sprouts and how they change their menu seasonally. The only thing I would change is allowing to get an extra side instead of a base because there's so many sides I want to try and the bases I could live without.

They also have a small gift shop with fun St. Pete souvenirs and locally inspired items, which was fun to browse while waiting for our drinks. They have a great variety of options, from coffee and Lotus energy drinks to bakery treats and other non-caffeinated drinks so there's really something for everyone. One of my favorite details was the little wine door inspired by the ones in Italy where you can actually knock and order wine through it! Such a unique and fun touch. I ended up getting a blueberry and coconut lotus energy drink which was super tasty. The whole area is worth exploring since there are a few other cute shops in the same hallway, making it a great place to spend a little time. The staff was incredibly kind and patient which made the experience even better. The saddest part is finding out they'll be moving out of this location. This little hallway gives the cafe so much character, and it's hard to imagine it anywhere else. I'm really glad I got to experience it before they either move or shut down completely:( Definitely a spot I'd recommend checking out by the end of August.
