Driftwood Kava & Roastery St. Pete

I found this place after Milton took out my electric for few days, very much can recommend but I've yet to get lucky enough to show up when they're roasting beans

Cool spot in DTSP that is sure to create good coffee and chill vibes. Absolutely love that the beans are roasted in-house, better yet, their roaster is beautifully and proudly on display.

Solid coffee, solid vibes. Seems like everyone here knows each other which is kinda cool. I like that they are open late, I'm a night owl and hate editing photos at home so having a place to go that doesn't close at 9pm is pretty chill

I still remember the first day I came here like it was yesterday. It was yesterday. I was served by a woman named Reagan, who resembled a goddess of light & wonder. Her service was like the night sky: as glimmering in its perfection as it is distant in its presence. She kindly poured me a double and allowed me to get some work done, before we struck up a conversation, and like lightning our words were as electric as the wide selection of outlets at Driftwood to plug in my electronics. 11/10 currently writing this review as I sip on kratom at Driftwood again

Coffee is ok. service is usually sub par.

Edit: service has gotten slightly better, very little food options. The inside of the place smells like dog pee.

Excellent, laid back with wonderful people an coffee

This place is a cool vibe! The baristas are down to earth and the coffee is strong 😌

Great place! Best staff in all of St. Pete!

Best French press fantastic service

Came here to do some work. Great environment with music and conversation. Service was great.

Having a pretty atmosphere doesn’t cover the poor customer service

Rip off, board in restaurant says $4 for iced coffee, got charged $7. Won't be back

Extremely dirty with smelly dirty bathrooms Homeless people fill their water from their water jug and the mouthpiece of the bottle touches the spicket. So gross.

One of the other customers threatened me, and the owners and operators of Driftwood did nothing to protect me. In fact, they banned me from the property because that guy knows the owner. They told me it’s so that that other guy wouldn’t have a problem with me being there.

Doesn’t seem like the right way to go about business. They believed anything he told them and never even asked me for my opinion All my friends and I have found a new place to hang out ever since they pulled that move.

This seems to be the problem with small business in downtown St. Pete. It’s all about the money and there’s no customer service whatsoever. No value for a regular customer. Plenty of other places to go.

I have mutual respect for other business owners, so I challenge you to answer to these allegations in the same public forum that I have accused you.

Parking: There is no handicap parking for any of the stores surrounding this place, including Driftwood. Itself.

There is one handicap spot across the street down at the end of the block. But it’s too far for me to walk with drinks in my hand. And they never have drink carriers.

Kid-friendliness: Too many unleashed dogs to have children around.

Wheelchair accessibility: I am disabled and the rug at the front door has tripped me up a few times. As well as the rug under the couch area that you are forced to deal with because it’s next to the cash register.

Extremely inconsiderate staff. Almost every time I go in there, the barista is nowhere to be seen. I've stood at the register and waited for at least 5-7 minutes before anyone comes out of the back. Or he just slowly works on other things without acknowledging the customers standing in line, like wiping things down, sweeping, anything to avoid prompt service. Obvious passive aggression. This happens almost every day, and I *was* a daily customer. Never an apology, no thank yous, just gives the total and walks away into the back again. It's a shame, because otherwise this is a great place. Plenty of other places in the area I'll be giving my $ to.
