No matter where you are in St. Louis, there is sure to be a place very close by serving up awesome brew in a unique way. We make caffeine treks every weekend to discover something new. I’m sharing just four of my new faves from around town. Enjoy!
S U M P C O F F E E // Cool, calm but not commonplace. The baristas love what they do and it shows. The Worka brew is seriously something amazing with its light, citrus flavor. Bubbs went straight for the dirty chai, and Mads adored the chocolate milk. We decided to color her cup when we got home.
B L U E P R I N T C O F F E E // Love this casual spot located in the Delmar loop. I’m a fan of natural light, communal seating and relaxed atmosphere. Oh, and an exceptional pour-over. Iced dirty chai is also pretty tasty.
P A R K A V E N U E C O F F E E // This Lafayette Square location is just decadent. Although not very traditional, the iced Thai coffee is yummy, and you really can’t go wrong with gooey butter cake. The inside of Park Avenue can get packed quick, so it’s the perfect excuse to grab an iced coffee and go for a stroll around the park. I mean, it’s Lafayette! Why wouldn’t you?
R I S E C O F F E E H O U S E // I can’t say enough about this coffee house in The Grove. It’s like a hug from a friend. Not only do they craft tasty beverages (with coffee from local roasters like Sump and Blueprint), it’s just all-around cozy. It’s definitely a place to sit and just relax because you’re among friends…friends that are trying to build up and make the community rise.
Let me know your favorite coffee places around where you are! I’m sure we will share a part two very soon … !!
