50 Best Coffee Shops near Lake

“There were about five cars in front of me but the service was pretty quick.I like the lady's suggestions helping me out when I told her what flavors I liked.. then when I inquired about the buy one get one free found out they're only two flavors you could choose for the buy one get one free. Fortunately it was a flavor that I liked on the coffee mocha side. I was very happy with the delicious flavor that I got. Today they also gave away a collector's cup!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you haven’t been to Sha’s Coffee, you’re missing out. From the moment you walk in, the smell of freshly brewed coffee and tea is absolutely captivating—it’s the kind of aroma that makes you want to stay awhile. Their selection is truly unmatched in the area. I picked up Blueberry Cinnamon Crumble, Jamaican Me Crazy, Viennese Cinnamon, and Ginger Peach Tea, and each one has its own amazing flavor and aroma. Everything feels thoughtfully chosen and top quality. On top of that, I even found Slap Ya Mama Cajun seasoning (made by “Walker & Sons”). With my last name being Walker and two sons of my own, I couldn’t resist—it felt like it was meant for me. Sha’s isn’t just a coffee shop, it’s an experience. Great products, cozy atmosphere, and plenty of unique finds that make it stand out from anywhere else nearby. I highly recommend it to any coffee or tea lover!“

“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 🙏🏼♥️🏁“

“We stoped by and had read reviews and have to say people were right there breakfast was really good there biscuits and gravy were delicious!“

“perfect for relaxing with friends or getting some work done. This is my go to spot every time I visit St.Louis. Their desserts are absolutely delicious. The staff were friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. If you’re looking to try authentic Yemeni coffee and unique specialty drinks, I highly recommend Mocha Point!“

“Went for the first time and ordered the Spiced Whipped Honey drink, the chocolate croissant, and the everything bagel sandwich. Every single thing I put in my mouth was incredible. The chipotle aioli that came with the bagel was so good. Eric is doing a great job with this place! We will be back!“

“Great brunch spot! The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and everything came out quickly. A special thank you to Elaine, who was such a wonderful server—friendly, attentive, and made our experience even better. We’ll definitely be back!“

“The workers recognize their regulars and are very helpful and considerate. Bakery is great and boba is better. A few more bread treats would be wonderful but the selection they have is top notch.“

“Wonderful owners who were so nice from the very first time they met us. Their desserts are the best I’ve ever tasted!“

“My favorite place to get a latte.“

“A true hidden gem in St. Charles. I am a self described coffee nerd, truth is, I think about it way too much. I feel like a know a thing or two about coffee and Course is a fantastic spot to enjoy a cup inside or outside. Everything on the menu is good but the best of the best is their cold brew. Get it, trust me. Now, on to the staff. It's a rare thing in life to meet this many people who are kind and warm in one place. From the owners to the baristas kindness is their vibe.“

“What an Amazing experience! The staff here at Mudslingers Coffee was fantastic! I ordered the polar bear hot and it did not disappoint 🙌 👏 👌!“

“I’ve been to a lot of 7 Brew Coffee locations, and this one is by far my favorite for a lot of reasons.

First, it’s almost always the fastest option. The team always works with efficiency, and they keep things moving so smoothly that by the time my order is taken, I’m already pulling up to the window and my drink is ready. It’s quick without ever feeling rushed or sloppy. The staff is also consistently positive, everyone has a great attitude, and you can tell they’re committed to creating a good experience no matter the weather, rainy, freezing, or hot days, they still show up with energy and smiles. On top of that, the drinks are always made beautifully. Every time I get a drink, it looks just as good as it tastes. My raspberry truffle macchiato was especially amazing, honestly looked perfect. Overall, I highly recommend the St. Charles location. I’ll definitely keep coming back!“

“My mom and stopped in for coffee yesterday. Loved it! Love the aesthetics. Service was head. Barista had a great smile and was very welcoming. Will go again.“

“My family and I stopped in to kill some time and enjoyed a couple coffees, hot chocolate, and pastries. I enjoyed a Van Gogh’s Milky Way and my wife enjoyed her grasshopper. My son had a chocolate chip muffin and it was really good. Great atmosphere and friendly employees. Definitely putting it on my list of places to stop at when on this side of town.“

“Very noisy at lunch. Hard to hear across the table. Lunch was wonderful, food was great, Margo did a wonderful job servicing us. Gave recommendations and kept us in drinks and popovers. Really classy place for a girls lunch. There were several men also and my husband has been with me many times and also likes it. Chocolate cake was out of this world. Thank you for a great birthday lunch,“

“Friendly staff, get through the line quickly and so many options for everyone!“

“Went to the soft opening tonight. The grand opening I think is May 8th. The bubble tea is amazing and the owners are super nice! We sampled lots of stuff and loved our orders. Can’t wait to go back!“

“I hosted a celebration of life for my mom at Lydia’s and they made it so incredibly special. They were fully staffed with the most amazing people and we never ran out of yummy treats. I have always loved Lydia’s but now they hold a special place in my heart. And Lydia was so kind and thoughtful. I can’t recommend them enough, they have a customer for life!“

“Great service here every time but they clearly don't wash their shakers. I got a drink that should in no way have banana involved in the flavor and it tasted overwhelmingly of banana. Ruined the drink for me personally, I had to throw it away.“

“Best drink ever!! I got the butter pecan blender and it was amaZing! Everyone was so friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely an overall great experience. I highly recommend“

“Donuts were great!! Quite surprised.“

“Friendly staff, best coffee, hot or cold; hands down!!! Love this place!!!❤️❤️❤️“

“The ladies were super nice and the donuts were amazing!! “First time customer”“

“I went to this coffee shop a few times while visiting St Louis. I was so impressed. The “Chilly Goat” Mocha was the best cold coffee drink I’ve ever had. I also highly recommend the summer berry scone. The staff were all friendly and happy to help. The place was clean and had a nice atmosphere. I highly recommend it!“

“A small and wonderful Boba Tea cafe with smoothies, coffees, sparkling juice sodas, bingsu shaved ice desserts and more! They have games to play in the cafe. Everything can be customized on the order screen- type of milk, how much ice, variety of boba, sweetness level and more. Just tried their chocolate bingsu— amazing! And seasonal hot coffee was great.“

“I got the steak bowl with rice, chicken spring rolls, and banana Boba. all of it was so good. the bowl was so flavorful. I will definitely have to come back soon!!“

“Seriously the only good coffee place around in St Charles. Not watered down, strong espresso in the lattes, no cheap syrups. I basically come every other day and love this place. Definitely worth the money . Ppl say it’s expensive but Starbucks is the same for really low quality. So is seven brew. More coffee doesn’t equal quality. I rlly love the quality I get from Kaldis.“

“On July 12, got two orders of the hot honey chicken tender sandwich. They were overcooked and were hard and dried out. The last time I had them, they were cooked just right and very tender. Lately, I feel it is hit or miss.“

“We had a lot of questions, they answered each one with kindness. Food was great!“

“Upshot Coffee at Waypoint Church is a hidden gem! The atmosphere is incredibly relaxing—perfect for getting work done, meeting up with friends, or just taking a breather. The service is always excellent, and the staff is super friendly and welcoming. The food is pretty good too, but the real standout is the coffee. It’s always on point!

My go-to order is the vanilla iced almond milk latte, and they nail it every time. If you’re looking for a new spot to try, this one definitely deserves a visit.

“Seven Brew is hands down my favorite coffee spot! The drinks are always fresh, flavorful, and made perfectly every time. The energy there is unmatched — super friendly and fast service. Raegan especially made my experience amazing with her positive attitude and great recommendations. She really goes above and beyond. Five stars all the way! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“If I could give six stars I would! My partner and I are big scooters fans and we only come to this location a few times a month when we do laundry down the block. The staff is always incredibly kind and attentive. Our orders are always made correctly and with love!
The wonderful woman who works the drive thru window on the weekends who’s always covered in sparkles is an absolute gem!“

“I've been to several Kaldi's locations around the area, and this is one of my favorites. Right in downtown Kirkwood near the shops and train. Each Kaldi's has its own unique food, and the avocado toast and breakfast burrito here were both excellent.“

“I decided to go to this 7 brew and it was the most delightful experience ever! The staff were super friendly and helpful and got my order exactly right, so grateful to have access to such a wonderful coffee shop. 10/10 am coming back. Highly recommend! 😆☕“

“Great service, amazing gelato!“

“BEST! BEST!! BEST location!!! They’re the nicest bunch of people. The drinks are always made consistently whether I visit in the morning or afternoon. They’re all very friendly and accommodating. I usually order on the app and if I need to make a change, whether I selected the incorrect milk, want to change how much ice, or if Sugar Free syrup is an option for the drink I purchased, it’s never been an issue. I’ve tried another Scooters location and they need to be trained by this store’s employees and standards. They are hands down, THE BEST LOCATION! 🥰💜💙“

“flavorful coffee, quick, and staff are wonderful. they have a great sense of humor. Puppies get a treat too.“

“Love this Starbucks, staff is awesome and one of the cleanest Starbucks I've been in.“
