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!!“

“This is very much a classic busy office coffee shop that actually does good coffee. The barista’s are fantastic. I travel for work and I’m not here every day. But when I come back after a month or two, they still remember my name and some of them still remember my drink. They are quick, they are nice, and the food and coffee are both amazing.“

“My sandwich and coffee were very good. We can in to a very busy shop. We ordered and got our food in a timely manner. The music being played was fun and added to the vibe! We will be back for more whole bean coffee. We are giving the summer profile and two of the espresso blends a try. Keep it up! A wonderful shop you all have put together.“

“Love this place! Great for all requirements! Super friendly staff! Especially the wonderful Jannette! Really tasty healthy food. Perfect for breakfast, lunch or a light dinner. Highly recommend!

Vegetarian options: Veggie wraps, sandwiches, soups and salads. Fruit, cakes, chips and other snacks. Wonderful options“

“Definitely the best dining area on campus. I always have excellent food and amazing service. Prices are also very reasonable for the quality (at least relative to WashU dining). I didn't get to go as often this semester, but I plan to go a lot more in the fall!“

“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 want to give a HUGE s/o to the CLAYTON Berrybox. A specific thank you to Ashlyn(spell check the name) and the morning crew on 4/22. I am currently on crutches and can’t move the fastest. I called and asked if curbside delivery was an option. Ashlyn said no, but then replied “how far are you and I’ll run it out.” That’s the definition of customizing customer service for each customer. Thank you Berrybox this has truly made my morning! And of course the açaí bowl was on point and fresh PER USUAL!!“

We loved it so much that we placed an order to have their coffee shipped to our home! Bonus — you can even choose your grind. This will definitely be our new go-to coffee shipment! 💛“

“Located at The Hill neighborhood; corner intersection with outdoor seating perfect for people watching; it’s very popular (with good reason) so it could get busy… the lines can get long but it moves very fast! Plenty of seating inside

Latte was good; highly recommend… would come back and try their food next time; Lovely decor inside and lots of great things to explore close by“

“Beautiful space, wonderfully remodeled and just an excellent use of the space; great place for meetings and to get some work done . Their iced lattes are the best, and the Imago Dei art gallery is worth the visit in and of itself. Definitely recommend.“

“by far the best coffee shop in st louis located in a family friendly, walkable part of town just off the loop. great atmosphere inside and out. clean. friendly staff. consistently good espresso and matcha drinks that are flavorful without being overly sweet. consistently good black coffee. been coming here for 2 years and have not had a bad experience. if it's busy, get it to go and take a stroll through one of the many historic subdivisions nearby“

“Delicious fresh and healthy!“

“Friendly service, delicious food!“

“So kind but the real reason I will continue to buy is the quality. The KiKi ice cream sandwich, mango and rice krispies, is fabulous. I only took a sample because I didn't think I would like it. I've since devoured a whole mango icecream sandwich. KiKi is now my favorite.“

“They talked me through each coffee. Made the right choice and it was delicious! Definitely going back.“

“First time and not the last time we dine here, God willing! 🙏🏼♥️🏁 Very busy place, but fantastic service, food, and experience! Josh answered the phone and was so helpful, friendly and welcoming! When we walked in Josh was on it, made us feel we were “regulars”, like he new us personally and Stacey, the hostess that seated us, was equally as welcoming and we were seated promptly. I don’t believe we got our kind servers name, but the beautiful young lady was on it as well. The chefs/kitchen were on par as well, hubby had one of the eggs Benedict with a side of biscuit and gravy, I had the Ranchers beef salad, one of the best beef and blue cheese salads I’ve EVER had, and believe me, I’ve had a “few” 😋🤫😊 Hubs also loved the huge coffee mugs his coffee and my Kahluah/hot chocolate(yum on this damp chilly day)were served in…this where my only complaint would be, my mug was chipped along the rim 😅 All that said, it was just a fantastic way to start our Sunday. Looking forward to sharing this spot with some more loved ones 🙏🏼♥️🏁“

“Went to the High Low Blueprint in St. Louis. I had a fantastic pot over based on the recommendation of the barista. The excitement was also great!“

“Great service, amazing gelato!“

“Maplewood Deli & Coffeeshop = an absolute local treasure. ☕️✨ Charming as heck, perfect location, and the space is laid out so well—cozy but not cramped, great size, and just a really inviting vibe whether you’re grabbing-and-going or hanging out for a bit. The menu has tons of solid choices (the kind where you want to try five things), everything we had was excellent, and the service? Truly top-notch. And you can feel the heart behind the place—the owner is hands-on, warm, and genuinely friendly. Also… it was busy today with a steady stream of customers, so I’m pretty sure the secret is officially OUT 👏 Highly recommend. Not your average coffee shop, and if you prefer local, go check them out. 💛 #Maplewood #SupportLocal #CoffeeShopFinds“

“We went yesterday after a hot but wonderful trip to the zoo. When I tell you the staff was probably the most amazing people I’ve ever come in contact with…I would not be lying! They were beyond friendly & sweet which is the best to encounter when you’re a tourist! The ice cream was top notch & I can’t stop raving about! Thank you for a great sweet treat ❤️“

“Super smooth Americano-great conversation with staff. Delicious food Would come back for sure“

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

“Delicious and cheap! 10/10 would recommend! We came for breakfast and one of us hates breakfast so we got breakfast and lunch which is hard to find in one place! Big yummy biscuit too! We will def be back! Cheers to cheap good food on the loop! 🍻“

“Stopped in very late had a good chai and coffee. Quick and kind service. Cozy seating.
Update (years later) great service, go early before it gets very busy. Arrived 830, long line. I orders bottomless drip, enjoyed tasting the varieties, Kaldi was the fav but that's a dark roast (Charbucks has ruined me). 2 fried eggs, though the menu says poaching is an option it was not) and avocado mash. No poaching and a little too much lime on avocado reason for lost star. Will return.“

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

“Great service with a wide selection of froyo options. My husband and I both got froyo and a boozy beverage. Loved everything! We stayed a played cards for a bit, such a great idea to have games! Fun for all ages. (Discovered my husband doesn’t know how to play uno 🤣)“

“Everything was absolutely perfect. The waitress was very sweet and professional,💘 A great breakfast, food was cooked to perfection..Super clean and organized.....Absolutely amazing first time at a restraunt..We will return even though it is pretty far from my home.💘💘💘“
