50 Best Coffee Shops near Clayton

“City Coffee House & Creperie is a great place to escape, the vibe is that of a hidden cafe. The food is always great, I love their lemon curd crepe, opted for the waffle this time to celebrate National Pancake Day (a waffle is just a pancake with cups to hold the syrup I’ve been told). You cannot go wrong with any selection on the board. Fresh ingredients and great staff!!“

“Only had an oat milk espresso on this trip. Very good. I really like upshot at cottleville and am pumped they have a location here.

Dig the location and music vibe. Would be ok if they had someone spinning records live, but that’s an expense.

Will go again to try their pour over.

Oh yeah, I bought a bag of whole bean coffee, so my bill was a tad higher!“

“Great boutique coffee shop (especially for those living above). Friendly staff and definitely worth a visit whether or not you're a local or just visiting.
PS. Don't forget to take a look at the great (I'm nostalgic, one day if not today) photo of the owner in a cool truck in Columbia!“

“Wow this place was amazing, I cannot wait to go back next time I’m in town!!! The menu was a unique take on brunch familiar brunch items. Everything sounded so good it was tough to decide what to get. We all got different meals to share and all of it was delicious! And pretty big portions, oh it was SO good. I had a medicinal mushroom coffee tasted great and had me feeling great all day.“

I perfer local roasted. But was decent coffee to get our morning started. Not overly expensive, but they need bigger cups.the shop was cute. Had plants and hand done art on the walls“

“Very small coffee shop in a converted auto repair shop. It is pretty small; so not a great place to just chill out as people are generally on top of each other. The coffee is excellent. The prices are a little higher than most other local coffee shops. If the weather permits, they do have a little outdoor patio in the back. A very small parking lot for about 3 cars. Street parking is available.“

“Friendly staff, relaxing atmosphere, and great coffee!“

“Uniquely cultivated space for coffee and community. The most opposite you can possibly get from a Starbucks.“

Love Potion- 🤤💯♥️ our favorite- the Raspberry was to die for and came with a Raspberry Cheesecake Bite

“Took my husband to Hive this morning for Father’s Day breakfast. The wait staff is great! I had the absolutely delicious lamb chops, eggs, and breakfast potatoes while he had pancakes. He enjoyed one of my lamb chops to complete his meal. I highly recommend Hive if you want to have a great breakfast!“

“Maplewood Deli and Coffeehouse is my haven away from home where my dogs are treated like royalty. Frequent visits from my favorite guys Shane and Archie are always a delight. When I indulge, my absolute favorite is their lavender honey latte, the most soothing and relaxing drink I've ever savored. I adore their avocado toast, which may require a pinch of salt and pepper, but paired with eggs, sun-dried tomatoes, onions, and their other delectable options, it's a match made in heaven. Their breakfast sandwiches featuring herbal cream cheese are a game-changer - incredibly delicious and deserving of accompaniment with every order. The service is exceptionally friendly, kind, and welcoming, with the female owner being an absolute gem. She showers my dogs with love and attention, mirroring the top-notch care she provides to her customers. Undoubtedly, this is the ultimate coffee haven in Maplewood.“

“When I'm in the area, I always make sure to stop by! I usually get a matcha or an americano but I love the drinks. Def want to try more too !

The atmosphere is really nice too, I'd love to chill and work here! Can't wait to come back :)“

“This place is a hidden gem! We’ve eaten here and had coffee here several times and each time it almost gets better! They have a small menu, with some seasonal items, but each thing I’ve had is absolutely delicious! The way they perfectly blend simple flavors, both in their food and their latte flavors, is nothing short of magical. Today I had the almond croissant and it is the perfect combination of buttery, nutty, flaky, and decadent; I got my 12 year old the pumpkin snickerdoodle and he actually said “mmm so soft and crispy with just the right amount of cinnamon.” Oh and the autumn flight was everything I hoped it would be! Stout, sweet, seasoned, perfectly balanced. If you’re ever near Clayton/Richmond Heights do not miss your opportunity to try Coma Coffee!“

“Really great vibe to this place as a soccer fan! We got the recommendation to come here to watch the Europa league final (which Manchester United sadly lost to Spurs) and we were pleasantly surprised to find the vibe to be exactly what we were looking for. The owners were really friendly and we chatted a lot on soccer, Man United etc. Their TVs have access to watch soccer all around Europe which is great. We ordered drinks and food too which was excellent, plus it was extremely reasonably priced. Definitely would go there again especially when there is a big game.“

“everything we got was so uniquely and perfectly delicious! genius flavor combinations! beautiful store & love the sense of community and art and posters in there! such a unique hidden gem i’m so glad tik tok helped me find! nothing else i can think of like it and will be back soon :)“

“Great local coffee shop with a relaxed vibe.“

“Really nice place with a great meeting space and gallery space. I’m“

“You know why you come to Kaldi's on DeMun? Because the coffee, the tea, the food are made with skill and heart.
And when DaShaun or Cooper make whatever beverage you ordered, you know you're going to get the best.
Shouts to Bri for the magic she does in the kitchen (read: breakfast burrito which is vegan and I ate all of it and I am not vegan). My thanks to these three and those I have yet to meet.

And to every entitled and less than polite customer I have seen at this wonderful location in this beautiful neighborhood, please feel grateful for the products you buy and show gratitude to those working to make them. Thank you.“

“Tried their Gateway Blend coffee and it is delicious!“

“I’m not sure if management changed but I love this location now. The customer service is great and I love how the workers have memorized my order. Shoutout to Jaggu, he’s so kind and has a smile daily.

Hmmm.. I had to come back and update my reviews. My drink hasn’t take the same in days, lol! It’s seems off. ? I might take a break.“

“I ordered the chicken bacon sandwich with tomatoes, provolone cheese, tikka masala sauce, crispy onions, banana peppers and salt and pepper with a side of sun chips and a Coke. 15 dollars! It was a quick, cheap lunch with friendly, fast service and the owner is so sweet! The atmosphere is perfect for students with ambient music and plenty of seating. It’s very quiet and peaceful, and they seem to have student discounts! If you’re a student, try it out. Otherwise I will be back!“
