Downtown St. Pete’s newest coffee shop has some extra buzz.
Say Coffee House soft-launched at 2414 Central Ave. Friday and Saturday, serving a variety of Vietnamese coffee, matcha and green tea drinks.
Vietnamese coffee is brewed in a slow drip process with robusta beans, yielding nearly double the caffeine as arabica beans used in common espresso and coffee drinks.
Vietnamese iced coffee is served with condensed milk, and Say has several versions of the drink, including a “Marble Drip” with condensed milk, milk and espresso. The shop also offers flavors like ube, Biscoff, strawberry, egg cream and banana cream.
The shop also serves pastries from the nearby Crumb Factory, including butter and chocolate croissants and cinnamon rolls.
The Grand Central district is home to a handful of coffee shops, including some of St. Pete’s most famous: Black Crow and Bandit.
Owner Haley Huynh also runs Sip Tea Boba in Pinellas Park.
Say Coffee House is open 8 a.m.-4 p.m. daily. Follow @saycoffeehouse on Instagram and Facebook for updates.
