    I had an incredible dining experience at Cider Press Vegan Gastropub 💛The blue cheese burger was a standout, with a savory, perfectly seasoned plant-based patty and tangy vegan blue cheese that was just amazing. The Irish nachos were loaded with crispy home made potato chips and delicious toppings—perfect for sharing. To top it all off, I indulged in the fabulous key lime pie, which was the perfect blend of tart and sweet. Our waiter, DJ, was attentive and friendly, making the experience even more enjoyable. If you're looking for creative and flavorful vegan food, this place is a must-visit!

    I recently dined at the Cider Press Pub in St. Petersburg and was thoroughly impressed! The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home. Their knowledge and enthusiasm for vegan cuisine added to the delightful experience. The menu is a vegan paradise, offering a variety of creative and flavorful dishes that cater to both long-time vegans and those curious about plant-based eating. A standout feature is their fully vegan bar, which offers an extensive selection of innovative cocktails and ciders. The bartenders are skilled and passionate, crafting perfect drinks to complement the meal. The cozy, inviting ambiance makes it a great spot for both casual meals and special nights out. Cider Press Pub is a true gem in St. Petersburg, and I can't wait to return! Highly recommended!

    Vegan paradise - but not JUST for vegans. Let me start off by saying that my husband is vegan and I’m not vegan. We came here to celebrate buying a new mattress (nothing like spending money in celebration of spending money, haha) We ordered the Thai-chili cauliflower wings as an appetizer. My husband loves spicy things, but I do not. They were not super spicy and we’re very sweet. Still crunchy, which is great and soft on the inside. 10/10. We did not get the ranch though that was supposed to come with it. For the meal, we ordered two main dishes and split them: 1) Fish & Chips: (the “fish” is banana blossoms) Great flavor! Somehow both very juicy and very crunchy. Tartar sauce was flavorful and creamy, and the fries were great. 10/10 dish for us and we will be back for it! 2) Black & Blue Burger: (burger party is BeyondBeef) We thought this was delicious! The onions paired with the mushrooms worked perfectly and (while I still do not understand how vegan cheese can taste exactly like regular cheese) this blue cheese was out of this world. We ordered the garlic mashed potatoes for the side - my husband liked them but said “they could’ve been more garlic-y,” and I thought they needed salt. Not a side I would order again but honestly the burger was so good I didn’t care about the mash. 9/10 - only taking the point from the side haha . The music was great, and a while there is no general theme of the restaurant (part tiki, part UK pride? Haha) the atmosphere was pleasant. The only “critical” thing that I have to say is that the advertiser came out at the same time as the food. I prefer that my appetizer comes out before my main meal - and when they come out at the same time, I often don’t want the appetizer. If that was remedied, it would’ve been the perfect dining experience. 10/10 and highly would recommend this place.

    I have eaten three meals from this place, twice dining in and one of those meals was take-away. ALL three meals were fantabulous. Though I'm not vegan, I love to eat excellent meals no water what the genre. At our most-recent dine-in experience first weekend of May 2024 we shared the supreme nachos than I had the chicken sandwich, which they make in-house because I wasn't interested in an out-of-freezer product. The waitress said that the tenders are NOT made in house, so I would definitely go with the panko-crusted chik'n sandwich if you want quality handcrafted food. None of it disappointed. The Impossible (or Beyond) Beef on the nachos were so well seasoned and cooked that none of the inherent aftertaste of these faux meats was remotely detectable. They potato cheese was creamy but with a cheesy viscosity and it tasted like the real deal so long as not doing a side-by-side comparison. The waitstaff are excellent and the ambiance is warm and inviting. Great local beers on tap and close to the downtown action with indoor or outdoor seating. Plenty of screens if you're dining solo and there's a bar to belly up to. If you love Great food, try this place even if your diet doesn't require your food to be vegan...you won't miss the meat or the dairy for one meal and honestly, had I been served that chik'n sammie anywhere else, I might have accused them trying to "trick" me that it was meatless it was so convincingly good. On a previous visit I brought home the shepard's pie and mushroom scallops and we loved 'em both. I also have had the jambalaya balls and leek(?) soup and they were delicious too. Cider Press certainly is on my short list of great places to eat. The fact that it's vegan is merely a bonus for the girlfriend.

    Such a cute little interior with a very creative and absolutely delicious menu that is unbelievably vegan. If I didn't live so far away I'd be back to try everything almost weekly. Every wait or I've had was not only polite and friendly, but absolutely charismatic and such a delight that they enchance the atmosphere even more. Shout out to my last waiter Dirk! He is an absolute gem.
