"This may be one of my favorite places in St. Pete now! I love the variety of drinks (alcoholic, NA, coffee, tea) and that you really can create your own vibe here. They have a variety of seating for whatever comfort level you may want, rotating food/snacks so there’s always something new to love, and really kind and knowledgeable staff. Isabela was so helpful and sweet that after spending hours there Friday night, we came back Sunday morning. The vibe here definitely changes between night and day but there’s still a little something for everyone to enjoy here."

"Ruya is an absolute gem! Their matcha and lattes are incredible. The location is super convenient, and the staff are beyond welcoming. They always have the best recommendations and truly make you feel at home. The back patio is amazing and such a great space, especially for hosting events. Highly recommend Ruya for great drinks, great vibes, and an even better experience"

"I visited Ruya on opening day! Their menu at the moment is limited to a few coffee & alcohol options. The shop is very aesthetically pleasing with a middle eastern vibe. I ordered Ruya’s latte which is really a delicious latte with a secret spice blend & a fig cold foam. I’m not sure what coffee beans are used but the blend is really good. Overall it’s a nice, chill space and there’s an outside seating area, partially covered."

"Clean and cute! I love what they did with the place after it was “If I brewed the world” for many years. Ruyas iced coffee was very tasty. I love the decor. Service was friendly, the menu is straightforward not too overwhelming. I would come back with a book."

"Just found this coffee shop! It’s SO cute, finally a coffee shop that gets the vibes - the inside is so cute and their patio is huge with plenty of space to chat or work - also the coffee blend they use is really yummy! 10/10 recommend and their prices are very fair which I appreciate during this climate."
