Birdette’s, a new art cafe and creative studio, is set to open its doors on May 10 at 2710 N Florida Avenue in Tampa. Designed for adults seeking unique arts and crafts experiences, Birdette’s offers a relaxed, community-focused environment where creativity and connection flourish.
Birdette’s operates on a novel concept: instead of ordering food from a traditional menu, patrons select from a curated list of art projects. Options include house-made watercolors, collage buffets, and other DIY crafts, all emphasizing sustainability and reuse. This approach allows guests to enjoy hands-on artistic experiences tailored to various skill levels.

A new cafe for crafting enthusiasts in Tampa
While the focus is on crafting, Birdette’s also provides a selection of snacks and non-alcoholic beverages. A self-serve tea station, aptly named “Free the Tea,” keeps guests refreshed as they work on their projects.
Beyond the DIY menu, Birdette’s hosts monthly instructor-led classes taught by local artisans. These sessions offer opportunities to learn new techniques and expand creative horizons in a supportive setting. Classes cover a range of artistic disciplines, fostering a collaborative learning environment.
For those inspired to continue crafting at home, Birdette’s features a retail section stocked with thoughtfully curated art supplies and DIY kits. The shop also showcases locally made artisan goods, perfect for personal use or gifting.
The hot new hobby spot in town
Birdette’s aims to be more than just a place to make art; it strives to build a community where creativity, learning, and local craftsmanship converge. The studio welcomes individuals looking to explore new hobbies, meet like-minded people, or simply unwind in a creative atmosphere.
Birdette’s is easily accessible to residents throughout the city. The studio shares a parking lot with neighboring businesses and offers additional free street parking nearby.
While the art cafe is designed for adults, youth-oriented classes and events are available and listed on Birdette’s monthly schedule. Children aged 12 and up may participate in Art Café menu activities when accompanied by an adult, with the understanding that the environment is geared toward adult patrons.
Grand opening set for May 10
Birdette’s will celebrate its grand opening on May 10 from 12 p.m. to 7 p.m. The event invites the community to explore the space, engage in crafting activities, and connect with fellow art enthusiasts.
