“The gentleman taking orders at the window is phenomenal! His energetic, happy personality sells this store! Yes the drinks are great but seriously this guy will make anybody stay better! You'll know when you get there who I'm talking about.... Go through the drive-thru and you'll have a fantastic day!“
“Service is always excellent! We always ask for a variety dozen and let them pick, and have never been disappointed, every donut is as delicious as the last. This time they gave us a special mix of Halloween donuts, my favorite holiday! This location is the best! ??“
“I’m a regular here and frequent during the warmer days, this place right here is like no coffee shop I’ve ever been too. If you have time please check it out, there is a Starbucks the same distance away maybe even closer and I go out of my way to come here because of the fantastic coffee and staff.“
“We frequent Teleo Coffee with our family after moving to St. Louis. As a European, in my first months living in the US, I visited so many coffee shops where I could feel the cozy atmosphere and smooth, delicious coffee like in my homeland, and I found it here. This place has become like a second home to me, especially thanks to the friendly baristas and owner of the establishment. This is the very moment when you come to this cute house with a huge bright veranda and they greet you and call you by name. They also participate in donations, helping different organizations during certain periods with a small percentage of drink sales, which is amazing!P.S. Barista Sarah recommended the Lavender Vanilla Latte to me on one of my first visits, and I've been kind of addicted to this latte ever since. Highly recommend. Thank you, Sarah!“
“Came during a weekend morning and the place was packed.However the staff of two absolutely crushed it, keeping up a fast pace of drink delivery and helping customers order.The Ethiopian Macchiato, oat milk, no sweetener, was outstanding.A higher price, but that may just be the normal for independent coffee shops. It was personally worth the premium price.Would love to go back sometime!“
“I love Exit 11. They have THEE best coffee. I need to know what they put in the frapps because they are ??. Would go every day if they were closer. But that just means I get to treat myself here and there. And let me tell you, I definitely look forward to it.“
“We have visited the Sugarwitch on several occasions and had great experiences each time! The menu is exquisite and product delicious. Last weekend, our family's visit was extra special and we appreciate the additional touches those working Saturday night put in place. Charming and delightful!“
“Higher Groundz is my favorite and now the only coffee shop I frequent. They have the best tasting coffee, tea, and a variety of other drinks that you’d expect to find from a full-service coffee bar along with the freshest baked items which are made from scratch on site and decorated to perfection. The atmosphere and decor make this the perfect gathering spot for any type of get-together with friends, family, or coworkers. We had our wedding reception here and we loved every minute. One visit and you will certainly become a regular too. They have a rewards program which also is nice touch.Dietary restrictions: They will make your drink to order so if you have dairy restrictions there are other options.Parking: Plenty of parking available won’t leave you wandering for a spot.Kid-friendliness: Kids love the friendliness of the staff and the books and games available.Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp makes it easy to get in and out without any hassle.“
“Yesss! What a gem! The ropa vieja sandwich is delicious!! The pastelito was really good as well! The texture was perfect. Guava might be my favorite pastry filling. I'm going to go back and try the coffee next time. The people working were so nice.“
“Their smoothies are delicious and the consistency is so thick and filling because I don’t think they use ice. The workers are also very attentive and will notice right away when a customer comes in to greet them and get their order. It’s too bad we leave out of state or we would be regulars!“
“The staff are SO kind and welcoming + hands down the BEST matcha in St. Louis! Every time I visit, they make me feel at home and are so kind and sweet. They have plenty of delicious vegan food options, a clean and adorable sitting area, and an insanely good range of tea. Absolutely 12/10, six stars!“
“Very cute little venue.. we just ended up taking our drinks to go.The barista was very friendly, but was either trained incorrectly or not long enough. She did not make the iced mocha correctly, and she gave me coffee that she said was medium roast; but I believe it was dark because it was incredibly bitter and strong. The cookie we ordered was good, however I believe it would have been better served hot. All in all, a very cute little coffee shop. But maybe they need to go over an employee review on how to properly make their coffee.“
“This is my overall favorite place for coffee in St. Louis. Every cafe has their strengths but this one makes for my overall top rated cafe. Quality service, food, beans, and creativity on their menu all at a good price. Their bottomless drip is just a dollar more than their large, which is very good value!“
“***updated review***Came here yesterday to pick up some drinks and bakery. The store was neat and clean as always. They were quite busy when I walked in but the owner Ray came to the counter to take my order pretty quickly. I used to come here for the Taro Milk, but my current favorite was the Purple Rice Yogurt with Mango drink. It's delicious and tasted similar like Vietnamese dessert - sua chua nep cam, but in a fruity side. I also got the Purple Rice Yogurt with Blueberry and Pasteis De Nata for my girlfriend, and she absolutely loved both items. My partner got his usual Chai Latte with Oatmilk - very aromatic and the sweetness just right. Bakery and drinks here are not overly sweet. We've been happy with our order and service here.Original ReviewAbsolutely love The Foundry Bakery. We come here almost every week for bakery or tea. My favorite is Portuguese egg tart!!! Customer service here is awesome!!! The owner is super friendly and remember us by name. Highly recommended!“
“Been here a few times. It is a busy saturday morning, and yet the place doesn't feel cramped, isn't loud, and the staff is all super pleasant. The cortado is a sure bet every time. Atmosphere is a great balance between cozy and airy. Patio looks nice, but a little chilly for me.“
“This place is so cute. Walls covered in books you can buy, nice drinks, and a ton of vegan baked goods (not all, but they are clearly labelled!). My partner and I had a blast drinking wine and playing games, and the scones are amazing. They also have various gifts for sale - mugs, candles, cards, etc. They even have a flavor of vegan ice cream! New favorite for sure!“
“I am VERY biased as I work at The Barn... but I think this place is the bomb! The only challenge we ever have is sometimes there is a wait.... but that is a wonderful problem to have for us... and ALSO we now have a waitlist that you can join online... so having to wait is soon to be a problem of the past!PRO TIP #1: When I am working on Sat & Sun as the host... say the code-phrase "I go Coo-Coo-for-Cocoa-Puffs" to me and I will move you to the front of the list!PRO TIP #2: "Rutti-Tutti-Fresh-And-Fruity" also works as the code-phrasePRO TIP #3: This DOES NOT work on anyone else at The Barn, just me!“
“I have been looking for a place that serves like a Cuban coffee shop, and I stumbled upon this place. I feel like this place is underrated because you would pass this time so quickly while driving through Gravois Street, but don't pass this place up and check them out!There are two stories in this shop, so there is plenty of space for all the guests considering studying here. I love the wood-styled table and chairs; it is a gem!I ordered an iced cafe latte and then the chicken panini.I highly recommend this place, and the service is fast!“
“I absolutely adore this spot! I got the iced oat latte with hazelnut and a half focaccia sandwich. Everything tastes fresh and delicious! I want to go back for the gelato. They have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. It has a modern look to it. The baristas are also very kind and helpful! What a cool coffee spot to visit!“
“So I used to live next door to this place.I had a fiance who was up to no good and pocketing the rent.When our antique row fairy tale ended they bought our building and expected me to pay some undisclosed amount of back rent (pay the rent again sucker! Yeah.sure.)instead of communicating what was going on from the beginning.I now still am unsure what I supposedly owe or how it affected my credit but I basically can't rent anywhere.Fun stuff.Anyway the hipster staff is snarky snobby and rude, but its comical to observe and that absolutely is part of its charm.Its a show.100% The coffee is THE BEST coffee I have ever had.I don't know what it is about it but man...it is VERY good.Amazing.The food is also amazing.Its an adorable place.I am embarassed to go there though I should simply be pturbed but yeah.I never have the money to go out for fancy coffee anyway but yeah...its good.Very good.“
“good variety of coffee and tea. Everything is made in house including there simple syrups. This is a great place to grab something caffeinated or maybe a pastry...or both, and check out some very cool artwork. There is a good amount of seating as well, so if you are looking for a laid back atmosphere to study or get some work done Catalyst is definitely a unique place to do so.“
“Smoothie was amazing,guy that works at hustlers is very informal and explains how they make their drinks. all natural ingredients and sugars. Highly recommend shock in the mouth and getting a drink. If you’re in the area in Saint Louis highly recommend great music and very clean.“
“Love this place! Celebrated a birthday with a cute breakfast turned brunch. The drinks were delicious. The ambience to die for. It is completely IG/TicTok worthy. And the staff was so incredibly nice. Our waiter was outstanding. Probably some of the best genuine service I’ve ever received. I wish I could remember his name to give him his credit. I only deducted a star because they were out of the ingredients dish my friend wanted and the bacon and cheese potatoes were a bit over charred. But overall the food was delicious.“
“The bagels are great. It would be very helpful if their website had the ability to order and pay online. As it stands now, one has to call ahead, then stand in line and pay. Nowadays, things should be more efficient. The place is small, and I would think they would want to clear customers out as quickly as possible.“
“Oh my goodness this place is so amazing. I think we will be seeing them grow quickly because it is so fresh and good. Highly recommend if you like bubble tea or even if you don't they have plenty of other drinks. They are so good about letting you have a small sample if you are unsure if you'd like a certain thing. That was me with the Taro which I loved“
“This is a wonderful shop. I tried the Columbia GuavaBanana pour-over and, I must say, it was the best tasting coffee I have ever had. I was able to taste light notes of banana and citrus. While it was delicious, paying almost $8.00 for a cup off coffee may not be worth it for everyone. However, if you enjoy high quality coffee, please check this spot out! I am going to try their lattes next.“
“We just stumbled upon this bakery and it has become a (once a week) destination place! Please don't ask me the names of the treats I bought, my brain was lost after the first bite! One of the little cakes I bought today had (had bc I ate it all!) brown sugar crumbles on top with pink grapefruit inside. YES, Grapefruit! The sweet coupled with the juicy sweet-tart grapefruit was perfect! Give it a try! The chocolate chunk cookies, just have your milk ready! The staff make it a bit difficult (in a good way) in picking out a treat. Knowledgable of their products and friendly. I so wanted to do the Kevin Hart line of, "Let me get them all," while attempting to pick just one! I promise you, you will find something yummy to cure your sweet tooth on your first visit!“
“In the Grove across from Urban Chestnut lies a cute newish Latin coffee shop with soft Spanish music playing, clean and welcoming aesthetics, helpful baristas who answered all our questions about the menu, interesting art hun onnthe walls, and even more amazing coffee and treats. I had the Turtle Mocha to drink and it was delicious, along with a strawberry pie that was perfectly sweet and probably would have been even better if I had asked to get it slightly warmed up. My friend had the white tea and had a whole little tea pot to herself, which I loved, and tried the veggie empanada, which she said was the best she's had in St. Louis so far. Great experience.“
“Coffee is so good! Perfect balance of sweet with bitter in the caramel macchiato! I consider myself a coffee connoisseur having traveled to Belgium, Italy, and Turkey trying various coffee styles. This coffee from first taste was amazing. This is where they roast the coffee as well. Great atmosphere and customer service! Definitely recommend! ☕️????“
“Lovely & Local quintessential penny university?Pulls you in the the STL vibe, a Groove you don't notice until you're in it! The aesthetic is fab, it's a bank built in the 20s with the safe deposit vault to boot! The click! bang! whoosh! along with the fresh roasted coffee aroma are beyond inviting. The baristas are adorbs polite and professional.A necessary stop by when you're on The Hill.❤️“
“Visited this little gem in Maplewood two days in a row. Such a quiet and beautiful place located next to a cute little park. We stopped in and sampled their toast trio, donuts, coffee and absolutely loved it all. The staff is incredible sweet and on our 2nd visit they were hosting an open mic for the String Collective. Not only did we get to bask in the sun, we got to listen to incredible performance while eating our yummy treats. We will be back!“
“Absolutely love the staff, food and margaritas! This is our regular spot on a Friday night to have a pitcher of margaritas. The staff is always so nice and helpful and why we keep coming back. They are always so accomodating as well. It's anfun atmosphere and we will keep coming back!“
“SO CUTE! The iced mint matcha was solid and the inside and outside aesthetic is adorable, clean, with a vintage decor flare. The greenhouse and garden area makes this place more than a coffee shop, but a cute afternoon activity! I’m excited to come back?“
“So cute and charming! Super friendly staff, delish coffee, and tasty treats. I also love the decor. The tables are all different styles, but work together very well. They are grouped in a way you get a sense of privacy and intimacy despite several other tables in the same room. You also have to see the 'secret' room!Parking: The Cafe is on a corner so it's been easy to find parking fairly close.Kid-friendliness: Family friendly. Cool place to take your little or tween for a fun meal or snack.“
“A long assortment of Gelato flavors, and one would not return disappointed.Great place to try affocato given different options of Gelato already present.Other than that, the non-icecream based coffee can be improved significantly.Highly recommended.“
“Bought a pack of cookies at the Festa Italia. We tried one cookie, then another, then another.....OMG these are some of the best cookies I've ever had. So, of course, we went back to your booth and got another box of cookies. Next time we're in St. Louis we plan on visiting the cafe to buy lots more to bring back home to Chicago.“
“Let start off by saying once I walked in I felt the love and embrace of these women! They were patient with my neice and had many options for her as she is lactose intolerant. The music was soft soulful and the vibe was perfect. I ordered a Chai Tea and it was the best I have ever had in my life!! I DID NOT HAVE TO DO ANYTHING TO IT! I WILL BE BACK!“
“GO TO THIS RESTAURANT IMMEDIATELY. Trust me. Get in the car right now. It was insane. I had the pork belly corn bread Benedict. Flavor was amazing. Crispy potatoes, divine corn bread. Pork belly was flavorful and cooked to perfection. Husband had the barbacoa and grits. Flavor was outstanding! Portions were generous. Service was fast and helped us with the menu selections. Taylor is outstanding!“
“I've only been here twice, but both times the drinks have been 10/10. I've gotten the strawberry one & the creme brulee dirty boba. They're both very good, but the creme brulee one is next level good, probably my favorite drink I've had from any of the tea places I've been to. And super pretty!! :)“
“The Cup never disappoints! I've been getting my birthday cakes here for years because they are simply the best. They even have birthday candles available when you pick up your cake! I can't even begin to describe the richness, freshness, and moistness of all their products. You just have to try it for yourself! They also serve lots of fun flavors, with both classic and rotating options. Confetti is my absolute favorite classic flavor, and Cookie Dough is my go-to seasonal flavor. Additionally, The Cup makes cupcakes that are safe for dogs, which my labradoodle absolutely loves. The employees are always very friendly, and I especially appreciate how patient they are with me when I'm feeling indecisive about my tough decisions! The interior of the restaurant has seating options available if you're wanting to enjoy your cupcake right away, or they are nicely boxed up if you're taking it for the road. I will always love this place!“
“I came here this morning for a Sunday brunch and to explore a new coffee shop in town. I love the space! It is very inviting and a great spot if you are looking for a place to study and enjoy good food. I ordered an iced caramel latte and the breakfast burrito. I enjoyed the burrito, but the iced caramel latte needed to be stronger in flavor and have less milk.The coffee shop itself has plenty of indoor and outdoor spaces. If the weather is nice outside, enjoy it with the outdoor spaces! I highly recommend this spot for a chill-axing moment.“
“I've been a loyal customer of The Annex since it first opened in our neighborhood a few years ago. Every other Saturday, I come here for their breakfast burrito that comes with an incredible avocado crema. I did notice that the portion sizes have decreased while the prices have risen. The service is friendly, with welcoming cashiers and baristas at the front counter where you order food and drinks. I've tried their quiche and lunch sandwiches, which were just okay. The Seasonal Ube Latte was amazing, but unfortunately, it's no longer available. Their other coffee offerings are decent. On the pastry front, the blueberry lemon muffin and almond croissant are my go-tos. They often sell out if you arrive late in the morning! It's a cute spot to grab last-minute gifts. They've even started carrying my favorite hummus, which was previously only available at the local Farmers Market. Just note that some items are temporary or seasonal. They have expanded to include an ice cream side and we look forward to trying it some time.“
“the friendliest staff you will ever come across . I personally think they beat Starbucks . I have recommended them to everyone I know and I will continue to do so. I am up there enough for all I have to do is call when they answer the phone they know my voice and my number and automatically know what I want. cannot say enough good things about their coffee their food and their staff absolutely amazing“
“Hands down the best crepes in St. Louis!! I love going for breakfast and getting a simple bacon, cheddar, and egg crepe with an iced coffee. They have a ton of sweet and savory crepes to choose from. Our favorite sweet crepe is just simple Nutella, strawberries, and granola topping! If you are going on the weekends expect a line, but it moves fast! All of the staff are amazing and very friendly! After you order you will find a seat or the staff will help you. The ambiance of the restaurant is cute and cozy, like you are at a French bistro! Again, 10/10 would highly recommend!“
“Lovely atmosphere, though it's a bit small. I found seating somewhat limited as business picked up, so be prepared to stand or take-out during busy hours.I ordered a chocolate croissant and an iced matcha latte. The croissant was to die for all around, but I found that the matcha tasted a bit too milky.Overall, would recommend if you're looking for a cozy café experience!Parking: The parking was a bit inconvenient, but that's to be expected when you're in the city. There was a two hour parking lot shared between the local restaurants located behind the café, and some street parking and on-site parking. Nearly all of it was full when I parked.“
“The wife and I love Espresso Yourself. The environment is nice and relaxed so you can enjoy that first sip of the day. They have a wide menu too with lots of fun varieties and flavors. I love that they have popular latte ideas because it helps when I’m wanting to try something out of the ordinary. Their banana fosters cold brew with the coffee cubes is 11/10. We have even gone on busy days (today during the race) and the baristas were super nice, helpful, and greeted us with a smile. For a line our the door, everything moved so fast and our drinks were done quickly. Check this neighborhood spot out for your next pick me up and you will not regret it.“
“We stopped in the neighborhood to try a restaurant next door that happened to be closed. We stumbled into Milque Toast looking for dinner, and I’m so glad we did! The egg salad toast is exceptional, as well as the rose cream soda. The employee working was so friendly and helpful, we felt right at home! He even brought us cookies and milk to complete our meal - which were amazing. We can’t wait to come back!“
“Highly recommend!!! Delicious food and lattes, prompt service, super friendly staff. Couldn’t recommend enough. My mom forgot she had changed her mind from biscuits and gravy to a different meal, and she initially asked if she would be getting gravy before I reminded her she had changed her mind on her order. The cook immediately brought out gravy, free of charge. We were humbled and very impressed! Thank you for a great experience for us out of towners. :)“
“I'm checking out this coffee shop on Kingshighway. The interior design is inviting, and I love the details and furniture around it. When I came today, there was only one barista, and a flock of guests came simultaneously, so he was overwhelmed a little bit, and I did not mind waiting to try this new place. Several people are working on their computers, most sitting in the coffee bar area.I would not mind revisiting this coffee shop shortly. It is a cute spot.“
“My second "office" of the day, I spent about three hours here this morning plugging away at emails and dialing in to Zoom bridges. The wifi worked well but the space is a bit loud for trying to work. Still, it's free and the coffee was very good.Parking is a challenge in their smaller lot. Not all of the tables have power outlets.Parking: Small lot but it's free.Wheelchair accessibility: Step free access.“
