The Scott — Restaurant in Saint Petersburg

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...

We were walking around trying find a place to get a quick drink because our original plan was closed. Then I did quick Google search and stumbled upon here. Boy were we so happy we did!

You just felt so welcomed! If you’re looking for a cute little hangout place with such amazing atmosphere this is your place! Will definitely be...

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...
