Black Radish vegan grocery and deli now open in downtown St. Petersburg

Last month, vegan favorite Black Radish Grocer opened a second shop in St. Pete, at 246 Dr M.L.K. Jr St N, by the still-closed Coney Island Sandwich Shop.

Like the original Tampa location—at 2923 N 12th St. in V.M. Ybor—the newest spot offers pickup, delivery, or by appointment shopping in 20 minute increments.

If you need more time, peruse the website and make yourself a list. Tons of vegan staples—like Beyond meats and Daiya cheeses—are available plus a whole bunch of yummy stuff you’d never see in Publix. (I’m looking at you Golden Krust Jamaican Spicy Patty.)

The St. Pete store also has a deli serving up hot, made-to-order plant-based sandwiches, daily specials, and such. If you order online, just be sure you get the right location.

Current hours for both groceries are Monday-Saturday, 9 a.m.-8 p.m., and 10 a.m.-6 p.m. on Sunday.

And just like every other business in the world right now, COVID-19 sometimes causes staffing shortages so follow both stores’ social media pages(@blackradishgrocerstpete and @blackradishgrocer) to stay up to date.
