Warm yourself up with a fresh cup of coffee at The Morning Pour, a new coffee shop located on 18th Avenue South in St. Petersburg.
The location has garnered the attention of coffee lovers on the southside since its grand opening on November 1, crafting specialty beverages, breakfast items, and providing a comfortable lounge area.
Coffee shop owner Shawntavia Tuner acquired the building in September with plans to renovate the space; her aunt’s idea sparked the vision of establishing a coffee shop.
Serving organic, express-based drip coffees like their Brazil organic coffee blend, the shop also offers a tasty hazelnut Congo-flavored coffee and a decaf Amaretto option. Turner invites the community to stop by and enjoy all their handcrafted lattes and organic coffees.
“I wanted something that would bring community and revitalize the building. I wanted to do something where you could meet clients, have conversations, and have quality coffee and quality service,” Turner explained when asked about her vision behind the shop.
This coffee shop offers more than hot beverages and sweet treats to customers. The Morning Pour also provides free wifi, print services (with purchase), and notary services.
“We wanted to have a differentiating factor; that was allowing print services and notary services. We wanted to do that because there’s nothing like it here in our community,” said Turner.
From shots of espresso to machiattos, and selections of refreshers and spritzers, the shop offers a wide variety of beverages and food menu items. Sporting visually appealing foliage and coffee-themed decorations, the lounge’s mini tables and booths are outfitted with outlet ports. A touchscreen menu provides an easy-to-order layout – plus a free loyalty card with bookmarked achievements every few purchases.
Turner hopes to open a franchise in the future; until then, she strives to serve her community and is optimistic about the shop’s future.
“I hope that we can keep up capacity-wise for what’s to come,” she noted.
The Morning Pour’s regular operation hours are from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Sunday. Stay up to date with their events on their social media pages Facebook and Instagram.
