I've tried about 10 of the highest rated coffee places in STL and this one had the best coffee. Unfortunately the gallery was closed when I was there.

One of the best coffees and best conversations I had during mi visit in St. Louis. Extremely recommended. The coffee is up to the level of a certified barista. I’ll be back. Thanks!

Best coffee in town, they make each perfect. It has a gallery inside, it was closed when we come, so make another reason to come back for that.

Good coffee for a good cause. Friendly, talkative barista, too. Probably the best coffee you’ll find downtown.

This was the BEST experience that I had during my 2 day stay in STL. My Barista was amazing and had very good camaraderie! Bob Marley serenaded the spot which set the tone for the atmosphere! My coffee’s tasted amazing! Tasted the love in every sip! Not to mention the vision and mission of this place for the arts was amazing! If I ever come back to STL. this place is on my list! Also have amazing art exhibits from locals!Thanks for a good experience!✨

I was in the area waiting, and found this unique coffee bar. There's an art gallery full of local artists you can visit while waiting for your drink. I ordered the matcha latte, and my barista was soooo nice. He told me there's no sweetener in the drink but he can add some if I'd like. The drink was beautiful and tasty!!! I'd definitely come back and try other items on the menu!

Good espresso (barista pulling real shots), and friendly service and attached to a local art gallery.

Great coffee, Ordered Breve and coffee was to the point.However, it would have been nicer if coffee was served in a porcelain rather than a paper cup.Would highly recommend a visit nonetheless.Additionally, more eating options would add to the customer's delight.

I got a pour over and a tasty, homemade strawberry poptart! Both were very good! The pour over was a Colombian roast, but they had 2 options for the day and the barista was pleasant, welcoming, and very helpful, talking me through the differences in the two roasts. The coffee shop has a nice ambiance, cool vibes! It's in an art gallery, so it's cool to sit among the art or look around while you're waiting. I'm not sure why this place doesn't have more reviews! I'm in St Louis just for the day and was trying to find a good cup of coffee by my hotel. The low number of reviews made me question, but this spot is great and it seemed really popular! While I waited, the line grew to the door (although it moved impressively fast, especially considering it was just one man taking/making orders)!

Stopped by for a morning coffee before hitting the road and found this was a pretty neat place. Only slightly marked down in atmosphere as I missed the gallery being open by a few days. The coffee was great and served quickly. Definitely recommend.
