Coffee sits far below it: a burnt flat white and a dry croissant on one visit, which also drags value down. - Coffee / Drink Quality: 2.5/10 - Atmosphere: 7.5/10 - Solo-Friendliness: 6.5/10 - Value: 3.5/10 - Staying Power: 5.5/10 - Overall: 5.1/10 ## The Space The room is spacious, with a communal table and sofas that make it easy to settle in. It is also a drive-thru shop, so plenty of customers come and go without sitting at all. ## The Coffee I took a flat white to go and it tasted burnt, with no coffee character left in it, as if nobody had put any effort into pulling the shot. I should have taken it back. The chocolate croissant was dry. > Comfortable room, avoid the coffee. ## The Vibe It is a relaxed place to lounge, and nobody hurries you. That is the best thing about it. ## The Verdict Sit on the sofa if you must, but skip the flat white and the croissant. This was the worst coffee I had in St. Petersburg, and the downtown Kahwa is the better stop. ### Practical information - Address: 400 45th Ave S, St. Petersburg, FL 33705, United States - Price: $$ - Type: drive thru cafe [Website](kahwacoffee.com) [@kahwacoffee](https://instagram.com/kahwacoffee) ## More in St. Petersburg - [Bad Mother](https://thesteep.app/cities/st-petersburg/bad-mother-st-petersburg) Steep Pick Downtown St. Petersburg · Steep Index 8.9/10 A dark, posh coffee bar inside the Station House, with a balanced, chocolate-and-berry flat white and staff who will talk about the beans. - [Daycation Coffee](https://thesteep.app/cities/st-petersburg/daycation-coffee-st-petersburg) Steep Pick Downtown St. Petersburg · Steep Index 8.8/10 A tiny owner-run shop just north of Central Avenue that looks like nothing from the street, where the owner and staff talk you through how to drink the house specialties. - [Coffee Concrete](https://thesteep.app/cities/st-petersburg/coffee-concrete-st-petersburg) Steep Pick Downtown St. Petersburg · Steep Index 8.7/10 A big, funky coffee bar inside a concrete design studio in the Warehouse Arts District, with a backyard patio and a latte worth the trip. - [Hogg Batch Coffee Roastery](https://thesteep.app/cities/st-petersburg/hogg-batch-coffee-roastery-st-petersburg) Steep Pick Downtown St. Petersburg · Steep Index 8.7/10 A working roastery on Central Avenue that ages its beans in spirit barrels, pours only pour overs and cold brew, and does it better than anyone else in a city built on syrup lattes. - [Sun Bear](https://thesteep.app/cities/st-petersburg/sun-bear-st-petersburg) Steep Pick Downtown St. Petersburg · Steep Index 8.6/10 A no-frills roaster in the Grand Central District with a berry-forward Ethiopian cortado, a peach and black tea cold brew, and a barista who will talk beans as long as you like. - [Intermezzo Coffee & Cocktails](https://thesteep.app/cities/st-petersburg/intermezzo-cocktails-st-petersburg) Steep Pick Downtown St. Petersburg · Steep Index 8.6/10 The same high-ceilinged Central Avenue room after dark, with a cocktail list that treats coffee as an ingredient and a Cafe Mexicana worth crossing town for.
