I'm a huge fan of Park Avenue Coffee, especially in Lafayette Square. It's a small-ish space but the coffee and snacks are excellently handled. Moreover, the atmosphere of their location is perfect. It's*very* relaxed and comfortable with good natural light.

Get the Lavender Brown Sugar Coffee while you are there, and try out the savory scones on offer!

Ordered online and there was a little mix up with the order. They quickly resolved the issue and sent the remaining order without any hassle. Great coffee and great customer service.

Hands down the best gooey butter cake in St. Louis! The cake is rich, buttery, and perfectly gooey..exactly how it should be. The prices for a full cake are super reasonable, especially for the high quality you get. I always end up leaving with at least two, haha! Their cold brew coffee is fantastic! It’s smooth, bold, and full of flavor. And the smoothies? Just as impressive. They’re always fresh, delicious, and a great complement to their baked treats. Whether you’re craving a classic St. Louis dessert or just need a great coffee break, this place is a must visit. Highly recommend!! My one and only complaint is that they close so early, I wish they’d stay open later!

This is a review of the smoothies at Park Avenue Coffee. The menu and the actual price of the smoothie is off. When I asked, apparently management didn’t print the menu correctly? Also, the ingredients to the smoothie are: peach juice, powdered vegetables, and powdered yogurt. There aren’t actual vegetables in the smoothie. Which made for a pretty bad tasting smoothie. The coffee looked great, I’d just recommend staying far away from the “smoothies”.
See the photo…smoothie after 20 minutes.

I come here when it’s convenient but to be honest I’m often a little disappointed. The staff is always super friendly. It’s just the drinks can be inconsistent. Maybe I’m
Just not the target market, but I wish there were more specialty drinks or just a clearer menu with all the options.

My last order was something like a sweet cream cold brew… and the drink was completely white. I didn’t watch them make it so I’m not sure if they were heavy handed with the dairy or what. I thought the price was a little steep too. I got the smaller of the two sizes and after the recommended tip it was almost $8.

All in all I feel like it lacks attention to detail. Would love to see them step it up.

Tried their Gateway Blend coffee and it is delicious!

I met one of the owners at Costco this week. He encouraged me try his product. It didn’t disappoint! The coffee has a great flavor. I will buy it again.

Pair your favorite coffee with a slice of their must-try Gooey Butter Cake, a delightful treat that melts in your mouth with its soft, buttery goodness. We highly recommend Mom’s Original Flavor, which captures the essence of homemade comfort with its sweet, rich, and slightly caramelized crust. The cake’s irresistible texture and flavor perfectly complement the bold, aromatic coffee, making every bite a heavenly experience.
