A new coffee shop, Daycation Coffee & Tea, has opened in downtown St. Petersburg, offering a fresh take on coffee culture. Owner Rachel Zhang, inspired by her Chinese heritage, has crafted a menu that blends specialty beverages with local pastries. The cozy shop, located at 189 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. St. N., aims to provide a mini vacation experience for customers.
Key details:
• Daycation features signature drinks like “Ode to my 90s,” a black sesame espresso latte, and “Morning Forest,” a dirty matcha latte.
• Zhang emphasizes using seasonal ingredients and offers unique snacks and beverages.
• The coffee beans are custom roasted by Torch Coffee, blending flavors from Yunnan, China, and Guatemala.
• The shop has limited seating, focusing on a grab-and-go model, but plans to expand food options in the future.
This new venture matters as it enriches the local community with diverse flavors and experiences. Zhang’s story of pursuing her passion highlights the importance of following dreams, regardless of timing. Daycation Coffee & Tea not only serves coffee but also fosters a sense of connection and cultural appreciation in St. Petersburg.
