Green Market Cafe Clearwater Beach, Clearwater

The owner of Green Market Cafe was still in college when he hatched the plan to open an eatery that served healthy takes on sandwiches and soups. When discussing the inspiration behind the restaurant with reporters from the Tampa Bay Times, he explained, "I wanted to create a place where I'd like to go and eat every day."

Arms laden with bags of produce, the owner returns to his café, where his chefs fold the fresh vegetables into crisp salads and toasty grilled flatbreads. Because everything is made to order, chefs are able to accommodate special requests, adding extra tomatoes or picking out any raisins that look too much like a California Raisin.

Clearwater Beach is a brand new addition to the Green Market Cafe family and welcomes diners to its grand opening. Foodies can chitchat over nutritious bowls, cups of organic tea and other treats, in the dining room or al fresco.
