Café Bohemia embodies everything a coffee shop should be: dimly lighted, open late, artist cool with a hint of rebelliousness. And smug baristas. Lest you think this is an insult, it’s not: Baristas are supposed to be a little pretentious. It’s part of coffee-shop chic. And no baristas do it better than the pierced and dreadlocked coffee slingers at Café Bohemia. With the eclectic joint’s varied group of baristas, you’re only guaranteed two things: awesome espresso drinks and nary a smile. 937 Central Ave., St. Pete, 727-895-4495
