50 Best Cafes near Maplewood

“We love going to Mauhaus. The cats are very well taken care of and it shows. It's a nice relaxing area to hang out with kitties, have some good coffee and a light pastry. We recommend to all of our friends.“

“Living Room has THE best coffee and breakfast in St. Louis. But that’s just what gets you in the door. What keeps you coming back are the amazing staff, inviting vibes, excellent work stations (for those of us who wfh but need to have people around), and community engagement. Seriously, they have the best cortados, seasonal drinks, and bacon. But they are also vegetarian and vegan friendly and have a great selection of teas and other drinks for weirdos who don’t drink coffee. I love knowing that visiting LR means my money is going to a family-owned small business who invest in their community and put people over profit. 10/10.“

“Delicious smoothies friendly service thank you 😊“

“One of my all-time favorite restaurants for lunch or pizza take-out. My top picks: little gem salad, toscano or trout sandwich, blueberry lemon soda, and soft pretzel with butter. For dinner, their pepperoni and spinach pizzas are my faves. Their chocolate chip cookies are also amazing!“

“Love it! Food and atmosphere is great! We will definitely be back!“

“Wonderful and friendly staff in Washington locations! I love their coffees.“

“I went here yesterday to try it out, I love an independently owned coffee shop! Fantastic! Great menu with interesting drinks, they do decaf so I got a dulce de leche and it was delicious, not overly sweet. Next time I was to try the Ethiopiacchiato (I think it’s called). Very kind welcoming service. Nicely decorated, great music selection…. Vibes all around. I think I might make it a biweekly work space.“

“Friendly service, delicious food!“

“Brew & Bites Cafe made a strong first impression with its great food and inviting setup. Even though it was very busy during my visit, everything was nicely displayed, and the place clearly has a lot of appeal. I ended up ordering food to go, and the breakfast burrito was outstanding—easily one of the best I’ve had.

There is definitely an opportunity to improve the experience with additional staffing and more available seating, especially during busy times. Still, the quality of the food made the visit worthwhile, and I would absolutely recommend Brew & Bites Cafe to anyone looking for a great breakfast spot in St. Louis.“

“Attended a church conference in St. Louis and was recommended to check out this spot for some really good coffee — and it did not disappoint! ☕️ The coffee was delicious, and the staff were so friendly and helpful. 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! 💛“

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.“

That chorizo sandwich is one of the best things I have ever eaten.

Is it too much to uproot my entire family just so I can eat this every weekend!? I wish I could give this 7 stars.“

“I visited this bakery this morning and, unfortunately, I was very disappointed with the customer service.
I arrived at 7:59 a.m. and watched a young lady come outside to place the folding sign by the door. I asked if they were opening, and she replied, Not yet. By 8:03 a.m., the doors were still locked, and even she had to knock on the glass to be let inside.
Once inside, I asked if cinnamon rolls were available. She said yes, but then went to the back and returned to tell me they were not ready because someone was still putting the icing on them. I asked how long it would be, and she simply said the employee was icing them.
At 8:06 a.m., another employee came out carrying the cinnamon rolls and asked if I had been waiting for them. When I said yes, she turned to the cashier and asked why she hadn't told her I was waiting. The cashier had never mentioned it. Had she done so, the employee said she would have immediately iced one and given it to me.
I explained to the cashier, whose name was Zoe, that I was on my way to work and that the situation reflected poor customer service. Unfortunately, she never smiled, apologized, or acknowledged the inconvenience.
What made this experience especially disappointing is that I visit this bakery two to three times a week, and I have always enjoyed both the products and the service. This was the first time I felt like a valued, loyal customer was simply dismissed. I hope management addresses this so future customers receive the friendly, attentive service I've come to expect from this bakery.

“Had a wonderful experience! Delicious coffee and nice staff!“

“It is a relaxed environment. Always fast courteous and friendly service. The only thing that I did not like the last time that I was there was the fact that I could not find a way on the get up and go paying system to change the amount that I had entered for the tip. It is possible that I missed it. I did look repeatedly and did not see a way to go back and change the amount of tip that I entered without totally backing out of the program and going back in. I just figured a dollar was not worth the stress. All I wanted to do was add $1.00 to the tip amount. Oh well.“

“Our waitress was friendly but a bit overworked. The Italian Wedding soup was horrible. No flavor, no Italian sausage and full of barley. The roast beef sandwich was good but had wilted greens on it and we didn’t like that. The ham and cheese sandwich was good. The atmosphere was a bit noisy.“

“Amazing food, atmosphere, service, great quality and quantity for what you pay for and the dessert section is huge! My new favorite place“

“This was my first time eating here. The food was amazing and the staff was super friendly and helpful! Just an all around wonderful experience!“

“My family has been going to OR for close to 15 years? Since they were at the original shop over in Clayton by the Schnucks.

I am SO EXCITED that they are moving close to my house in the Affton area. Just this morning (May 8, 2026) I checked at the new location and saw three signs on the windows with new shop hours and a couple of phone numbers! YAY!!!“

“Zoe and drake we super kind and helpful. Made me a Iced Vanilla Latte and Blueberry muffin. 10/10 would recommend any day of the week.“

“The time i sit down, order, have a drink of coffee, my food is there, quick and fast and very delicious. My server name is Mary, exceptional waitress, friendly, funny, good person.“
