The Scott 253 2nd Avenue North, St. Petersburg, FL 33701

"Stopped in for a drink and it's such a cute and cozy place with bar seating, tables, couches, and patio. Great service and cocktails. Felt very welcomed and at home even though we weren't staying there. Loved walking around and looking at all the history of the hotel. The Dali art book was so fun to look through while enjoying our drinks. Reasonable prices. The coffee smelled amazing."

"Love this little gem! There’s always friendly people at the bar and the service is top notch. I’ve had Sydney make some of the best cocktails I’ve ever had each time I visit! Consider yourself lucky if you go when it’s her shift! Highly recommend"

"Came with a large group of friends for coffee - when we were deciding where to go, everyone said here. There's a nice cafe in the lobby, with room to sit inside and out. The decor is very cute, and it looks very clean. The barista Sydney was really friendly and did a great job with our drinks, and Kayla was very helpful and asked us if we'd like a group photo (we did!). The atmosphere was great, very relaxed."

"Staying at the Cordova Inn, we’ve been beyond spoiled at The Scott. Not only are the coffee and espresso drinks delicious, we’ve ended each evening with an incredible curated cocktail menu and fantastic staff. Eli, Rachel and Sydney have shown us the best hospitality; lovely and hilarious chats, tons of great recommendations for the area, and always helpful and accommodating with special requests for us and our kids. Our favorite drinks included a morning serving of the Sticky Situation, a sweet, but not too sweet latte enhanced with maple syrup and an almond syrup that felt luxurious. In the evenings we enjoyed trying out a different cocktail, though I had more than one Bee’s Knees and their take on the espresso Martini (the Cordova Martini) was to die for! The energy is elevated but comfortable, and there’s always someone interesting to meet and chat with. This is our first visit to St Pete, but I think will be at least a yearly homage from now on, and the Scott will be a required (and repeat) stop."

"The Scott inside of the Cordova Inn is one of my favorites in town for a latte! The lobby decor has a classy and glamorous feel and they've incorporated old photos of downtown St. Pete on the walls. It makes you feel like hanging out for awhile. There's also an attached front porch with rocking chairs, tables, and light music playing-- it's quite the ambiance! Their hazelnut latte is incredible, they use local Hogg Batch coffee which is made in spirit infused barrels (often bourbon) to create dynamic flavor profiles! Additionally, their bar menu has all the cult classics, simple but sophisticated. If you've yet to try The Scott, you need too! Note: at first I didn't realize how close it is to all the other bars on Central but it's just a 5 minute walk that way and maybe another 5 to the pier"
