“We have had a contest on Instagram so people share photos with our cups,” says Duma, a young barista behind the bar. Instagram photos with Pitcher’s take away cups are glued to different spots on this mural map painting. Through a flower shop we entered the cafe welcoming us with a large map of Saint Petersburg drawn on a wall. Two streets from Moskovsky Vokzal, the main train station bringing people from Moscow, we found the first cafe to explore Pitcher Coffee Bar. Let us take you on a tour of ten cafes in Saint Petersburg. It was then the time for the people of Saint Petersburg to socialise. It was 8pm and the local coffee joint was just entering its evening rush hour. It is also a cultural thing to drink coffee all day long! We witnessed it at the end of our 5-day stay, sitting on a coffee bar at Pitcher. People of the local coffee community help each other and try to learn as much as possible from one another. Thanks to many pleasant encounters it is safe to say that Saint Petersburg has got a young, active, artistic and eager to learn coffee scene. Saint Petersburg, a city known for its cultural richness made a great impression on us. This summer we went on a Russian trip and besides for Moscow we could not skip the second largest city in Russia.
