If Trader Joe's and Whole Foods had a baby, it would be Duckweed Urban Grocery. Duckweed is a…read moreconvenience store, I said, what I said, and it provides Grand Central's urban dwellers with much needed instant access to those needed, desired, mundane things without requiring a miles-long trek to the fringes, or heaven forbid, the suburban areas of St. Pete. Duckweed, unlike its convenience store cousins, is airy, bright, and open, and best of all clean. And it does offer traditional grab and go essentials but, upscale e.g, craving kombucha? vegan snacks? Craft beers from 3 Daughters, Greenbench, or Coppertail? Coffee beans from Bandit? THC seltzers? Duckweed's got you covered, and I love that for Grand Central. As a suburbanite, with access to 7-11s and Publix stores on every corner, I was a bit underwhelmed. But hey, it's not for me. It's for the urbanites - so do you Grand Central, enjoy your funky corner "market".

Good lesson in mediocrity for lunch…read more Started off with the mentally absent guy behind the counter which awkwardly stared off into space while I repeated my order 3 times. On the 4th I finally got an "oh, what did you want?" Had the turkey fig and their Italian. The sandwiches are not hearty for $14. The days of a $12 hero sandwich are over. Taste wise, nothing really hit home. Very bland. The best part of the turkey was the overbearing fig jam. The Italian is not recommended. Not much Brooklyn about it.

Can we talk about the cheese room? it's one of the largest in Florida and also my favorite place…read moreever! They have over 300 artisanal, imported and domestic cheeses, I find something new every time I go! The ambiance is what makes it special to locals, it feels like stepping into a traditional Italian market and it's hard to find elsewhere in Tampa. Definitely a staple for St. Pete! The market is almost always busy, so go right when they open or later in the afternoon on weekdays or you'll be standing shoulder to shoulder and wait 15 to 30 minutes, but honestly that time is perfect for browsing everything! My go to orders are the Mortadella Pistachio and the Fig & Pig. They are $12 each, and yes a bit pricey but the freshness and quality make it worth it.

Wow! What a fun place to check out. There's ample parking. A lot of photo ops outside, some picnic…read moretables. So much bustle. So many people. You walk in and Theres a check out area. A fresh produce, meat, fish, sausage, pickled olives, section. You walk further down and Theres the grab and go food section. Then to the left you have wine and cheese. You go further in, and Theres a fancy cheese section. Unfortunately they don't give small amounts of cheeses and cut it for you. But you can buy some really good cheeses here. Then you go back to the very narrow hallway, and Theres a ton of coffee on the left. I just got into coffee and am a coffee snob. I noticed there was a "greasy" looking bean. Which just means it's well past its freshness. The price of bean actually isnt that bad. And they offer a lot of varieties. Anyway...We got two kinds, Guatemala and organic Mexico. I wanted to try it out before writing this review. The Guatemala one was light, faint. Which tells me the bean is stale. No longer fresh. The Mexico was a deeper flavor but also on its way out. I would recommend to management to better advertise the coffee bean so the product moves and stays fresh, or maybe move it to a different section where people can feel comfortable getting it. It gets so crowded in the hallway. I would leave the hallway was a grab and go area. Or, I would sell what you have at inventory and limit the options to the top sellers. You keep walking down and you have the coffee shop to the right, and a small bread stand to the left. Of course we got coffee. Theres a small area of seating to get coffee for there. Theres a big roaster to give the appearance that they roast their own coffee but I believe it's just for decoration. Fiancé got a cappuccino. It was okay. He normally doesn't get coffee with too much milk but the waitress said there was 3 shots of espresso in there. I would say it didn't taste like 3 shots. It taste like coffee with 90% milk. And it should be told to customers that a cappuccino there is more milk with coffee. I got the con panno. Which is espresso with whipped cream. I'm not sure if the whip cream they use is fresh, or if it's super sweetened, but my coffee was sweet. It was thick which I like but I didn't like whatever sweetener they used. But I'd probably order a macchiato if I ever came back so I could taste the coffee. On the other side of the coffee shop is the sandwiches and prepared food that you order. Sandwiches are HUGE. Fiancé had the #1 with all the fixings. It was nice but if you don't like soggy sandwiches, you can ask for no veggies. Which we would do next time. I had the 7, no sun-dried tomatoes and no veggies. It was so good. The mozzerella was very fresh! If you walk past that you have the dried cured meat, and down a hallway to the right you'll find dried pasta and fresh pasta. The fresh pasta looked so good. I wished we lived in the area so I could try. You head back the other way and pass the outdoor seating and Theres also a place for you to check out you grocery/sandwiches. Right next to that section you have the pantry area of canned fish, pickled things, olive oil. Then Theres the bread and pastry area. We only had time to see these and no time to see what other stores they had or walk around. But I'd definitely come back to check those out.

They do not always have their own cider. Sometimes they partner with a local business. Staff is super friendly. Every time we've come in here bartenders are always more than happy to chitchat with you. Share stories of the beer how it was crafted and brewed and we find most of the people who are in here are also really friendly as well. Because it is located on one of the main drags in Saint Pete - parking can be a challenge. They do have parking behind the building. It is incredibly limited and sometimes especially towards the evenings, finding parking in the street can be hard as well. I had their dry Irish cider and really enjoyed it. It definitely is on the dry side, but it was good. I did try their strawberry dry cider. It wasn't bad but when I think of strawberry cider, I want to taste the strawberry and I found that it was just a little bit light for my pallet. My husband really enjoyed the Al Czervik. It's a nice, toasty Czech dark lager.
