What’s happening with
the coffee scene here?
"What’s going on" is St Pete is a
totally rad city. The springing up
of coffee shops reflects the communal
community we have. I love
that all of the shops are unique and
reflect old and new of St Pete.
Must-see St. Pete venues?
Grab a cuppa a coffee, hop on a
bike and stroll through Boyd Hill
Nature Preserve or Weedon Island.
Keep on peddl’in through all the
alleyways of street and mural art!
Another amazing place—cruising
on your bike around the Sunshine
Skyway Bridge to see the wind
surfers and kiteboarders. Or rent
equipment and try it yourself!

What’s happening with
the coffee scene here?
St. Pete has seen unprecedented
cultural growth and that includes
craft breweries, local restaurants
and craft coffee. More people are
moving in. With housing, office
and co-working space, and local
retail on the rise, there’s a demand
for the things people need every
day, chief among them: coffee.
Must-see St. Pete venues?
The Chihuly Collection at the Morean
Art Center is great place to visit.
Outside of Seattle, it’s the best
place to see Dale Chihuly’s amazing
studio glasswork and it’s right here
on Central Ave. The best-kept secret
about St. Pete is that the city is very
walkable. We are less industrial than
similar cities and there’s very little
traffic and more green space. St.
Pete is urban, but not too urban.
