A concrete-studio coffee bar with a patio, an early coffee and liquor bar with a queue, a Vietnamese coffee house, a funky kava cafe, a Moroccan courtyard, a croissant, a surfboard-hung wellness cafe, a light-roast roaster pulling berry-forward cortados, the single-origin flat white at The Under Grounds, a spacious hotel coffee bar, and a glass of wine in the lobby bar next door to finish. Eleven is far too many for one day, so treat it as a menu. Closed Mondays, when Balance House is shut. ## The route - [1. Coffee Concrete](https://thesteep.app/cities/st-petersburg/coffee-concrete-st-petersburg)Downtown St. Petersburg Start south of Central Avenue, early. It opens at 7:00 and shuts at 4:00. A big, funky coffee bar inside a concrete design studio, with art, an airy backyard patio and a car on display. Order the latte. It is a ten minute walk up to Bandit. 10 min walk to the next stop - [2. Bandit Coffee Co.](https://thesteep.app/cities/st-petersburg/bandit-coffee-co-st-petersburg)Downtown St. Petersburg It opens at 7:00, shuts at 3:00, and there is a queue even on weekdays. A full espresso bar that also pours wine, cocktails and beer. Order the scrambled egg sandwich, and the shaken latte if you like it cold. No wifi. 4 min walk to the next stop - [3. Say Coffee House](https://thesteep.app/cities/st-petersburg/say-coffee-house-st-petersburg)Downtown St. Petersburg A Vietnamese coffee house with a spacious room and plenty of seats, open from 8:00 and closing at 4:00, the earliest close after Bandit. Our Biscoff Latte was overly sweet even ordered less sweet, so try the classic phin coffee or the matcha instead. 3 min walk to the next stop - [4. The Muddy Root Kava Cafe](https://thesteep.app/cities/st-petersburg/the-muddy-root-kava-cafe-st-petersburg)Downtown St. Petersburg An alcohol-free kava cafe with sofas, bar seats, window seats and a canopied patio, open from 7:00. The decor is funky, the wifi is strong, and the latte was pretty decent. Kava is the main event here, so ask what to try. 2 min walk to the next stop - [5. Ruya](https://thesteep.app/cities/st-petersburg/ruya-st-petersburg)Downtown St. Petersburg A Moroccan-inspired coffee and wine lounge with a shaded courtyard patio. Come for the room and the patio, and try the mint tea, since our cold brew was bitter and the chocolate mousse too dense. Opens at 8:00 as reported, so check Instagram if you arrive early. 1 min walk to the next stop - [6. Black Crow Coffee Co. Grand Central Dist](https://thesteep.app/cities/st-petersburg/black-crow-coffee-grand-central)Downtown St. Petersburg Open from 7:00. Take the croissant, which is moist and properly good, and skip the cortado, which ran burnt and under pulled on our visit. 1 min walk to the next stop - [7. Balance House Cafe](https://thesteep.app/cities/st-petersburg/balance-house-cafe-st-petersburg)Downtown St. Petersburg A minute on, and open from 8:00. A new wellness cafe with surfboards on the walls and a long menu of matcha, protein drinks and espresso. Order something less sweet than the seasonal latte. Closed Mondays. 4 min walk to the next stop - [8. Sun Bear](https://thesteep.app/cities/st-petersburg/sun-bear-st-petersburg)Downtown St. Petersburg A no-frills roaster with a record player, open from about 9:00 and shut by 4:00. Order the cortado, which tastes of berries, and ask for a taste of the cold brew. Chat with whoever is behind the counter. The Under Grounds is 220m on. 3 min walk to the next stop - [9. The Under Grounds Coffee Co](https://thesteep.app/cities/st-petersburg/the-under-grounds-coffee-co-st-petersburg)Downtown St. Petersburg The best cup of the route: the single-origin flat white, with a banana muffin in the naturally lit room. It closes at 2:00 on Tuesdays and 5:00 the rest of the week, so on a Tuesday come here earlier. Rose's is an 8 minute walk east along Central Avenue. 8 min walk to the next stop - [10. Rose's Coffee Bar](https://thesteep.app/cities/st-petersburg/roses-coffee-bar-st-petersburg)Downtown St. Petersburg A long sit. A spacious, well-dressed coffee bar on the ground floor of the Moxy hotel, open until 6:00, with plenty of seats and a terrace. Our cold brew was flat and a little bitter, so skip it and try an espresso drink. Bar Moxy is in the same lobby, for when it closes. - [11. Bar Moxy](https://thesteep.app/cities/st-petersburg/bar-moxy-st-petersburg)Downtown St. Petersburg The finish, in the same hotel lobby and open until 11:00 at night. A posh, lively bar where the Albariño was excellent. Ask for a clean glass and check it before you drink, because ours arrived dirty.
