Sun Bear Specialty Coffee Roasters
1037 Central Ave, St. Petersburg, FL
Crema's Take
“Sun Bear's roast master will hand-pour your coffee and walk you through the entire process from bean to cup, and his lighter roasts and experimental ferments are genuinely some of the best you'll find in Florida. The operation is tucked in the back of Sans Market, so look for the signs, but the intimate setup and the owner's genuine passion for specialty coffee make it worth seeking out. This is the kind of place where you'll actually taste the difference between a competently made pour-over and an exceptional one.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. Slow-sit spot.

The guy was so friendly and nice. I couldn’t find the place at first and walked past it. They’re inside a shop in the back. Be on the look out for the signs. Coffee was great!

Sun Bear coffee is incredible, local coffee at its finest! We met the roast master while visiting Sans Market. We talked for a while about the entire process from harvest to brewing and he was extremely knowledgeable. He explained how their beans are harvested and purchased…
