What customers say

Had a pour over from the master himself - best pour-over I've had to date. This place is offering some of the best beans especially if you're into light roasted single-origin or experimental collabs with some of the best coffee growers in the world. He has co-ferment options to for those seeking juicy flavor bombs.

Kenny knows his coffee. We got the Geisha and the Leeche pour overs. Both were excellent. Kenny will tell you the flavor profiles and points you the right way. There's a nice spot by the front window to sit and people watch after you get your coffee.

Was in St Pete for a few days. Sun bear is a cool 3rd wave coffee roaster with lighter roasts and some interesting co ferments. Would highly recommend if you like lighter roasted coffee. Prices are reasonable for speciality coffee. Had a cool talk with Forrest. I had the passion fruit co ferment. Really good.

What an absolute treat to find! They're incredibly experienced and passionate coffee roasters who love finding unique roasts and coferments. Ended up buying coffee, leaving, and coming back to buy more beans because they smelled so incredible. Was not expecting to find such a high quality roaster in st pete!
