The coffee is the soft spot: a specialty latte so sweet the coffee barely registered, even with the sweetness turned down. - Coffee / Drink Quality: 6.0/10 - Atmosphere: 8.4/10 - Solo-Friendliness: 8.0/10 - Value: 7.6/10 - Staying Power: 8.0/10 - Overall: 7.6/10 ## The Space The inside is spacious, with plenty of seats, so finding a table is not a worry. It is a newer cafe on Central Avenue and the room has space to breathe. ## The Coffee Say is built around Vietnamese coffee and matcha. I ordered the specialty Biscoff Latte, asked for less sweet and 2% milk, and it still came out overly sweet, with the coffee hard to taste. Vietnamese coffee leans sweet by tradition, and a flavoured latte is not a fair test of the phin coffee or the matcha, so this is one drink on one visit. > Plenty of room to sit. The Biscoff Latte buried the coffee. ## The Vibe The staff seemed cordial and the room was easy to settle into. It works as a place to sit for a while rather than a quick grab. ## The Verdict A roomy, welcoming spot for a Vietnamese coffee fix. Ask for it even less sweet than I did, or try the classic phin coffee, since the Biscoff Latte did not let the coffee through. ### Practical information - Address: 2414 Central Ave, St. Petersburg, FL 33712, United States - Price: $$ - Type: vietnamese coffee house [Website](saycoffee.us) [@saycoffeehouse](https://instagram.com/saycoffeehouse) ## More in Downtown 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.
