Karma Juice Bar and Eatery coming to the former Craftsman House Gallery in the Grand Central District
/
The former Craftsman House Gallery, housed in a historic 1918 bungalow in the Grand Central District, will become Karma Kitchen and Bakery—a new concept from the owner of Karma Juice Bar & Eatery.
The reimagined property at 2955 Central Avenue will feature an indoor dining space, an outdoor edible garden, a bakery, and an expanded food and beverage program when it makes its debut in July.
For over a decade, Karma Juice Bar & Eatery has been a familiar name in St. Petersburg, known for its cold-pressed juices and health-focused offerings.
The new Central Avenue location will mark the brand’s third local outpost, joining existing Karma locations at 1804 4th Street North in St. Pete and 2095 Drew Street in Clearwater.

St. Petersburg will test a new plant-based approach to managing stormwater as part of a $7 million project coming to one of the city’s most flood-prone areas.
The city will install eight HydroPlanters, which are modular rain gardens designed to slow and filter rain runoff before it enters the city’s stormwater system.
Each rain garden is about five feet long, three feet wide, and two-and-a-half feet deep.
Filled with specially designed soil, grasses, shrubs, and small trees, the boxes will be installed in an L-shaped configuration along a city-owned grassy area near the intersection of 50th Avenue North and 7th Street North.
During heavy rain, water from the street will flow into the planters and filter through the soil and vegetation. It will then drain into the city’s stormwater system and eventually the 54th Avenue Canal.
