50 Best Coffee Shops near Frontenac

“We come here twice a year and are never disappointed. Marquee was amazing as a server. My only wishes they would bring back the Neiman Marcus chicken salad with the orange soufflé the original dish, not the chicken salad on a bed of lettuce.“

“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!“

“Coffee is delicious! The barista was very knowledgeable and friendly. Will definitely be back! The Ethiopian macchiato is strong but subtle with a perfect balance of sweet and bitter. The barista made a cute heart with the milk but I took the pic after I took a sip…lol“

“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.“

“Recently visited Honey Bee Tea and was thoroughly impressed by their creative and delicious tea offerings. Bought different drinks for the family and each drink I tried was a delightful blend of unique flavors. The atmosphere of the café is warm and inviting. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, happily recommending drinks based on my preferences. I highly recommend their specialty teas for anyone looking to try something new and flavorful. I'm already looking forward to my next visit to Honey Bee Tea!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Gateway Coffee Company is a nice coffee shop. Their coffee they get from Crimson Coffee in Columbus, OH, and their pastries are from a local pastries store. The coffee cake muffins we had were intriguing as they had a salty external layer that was actually nice to the taste buds. I gave it a four star because the coffee and food were good, but there is no kitchen, and nothing is actually made by Gateway Coffee., still a solid place to stop at and pick up a coffee or tea.“

“***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!“

“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!“

“Sucrose is the best bakery in the greater St. Louis area. Period. Their staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful. The locally roasted coffee (Blueprint) is fantastic. They also have plenty of options for those with dietary restrictions (GF, dairy free, etc.). In the dozens of times I have gone here, I have never had something that was not fantastic. The quiche lorraine, NY coffee cake, blueberry muffins, and macarons are some of my favorites, but that list is much, much longer. Treat yourself and go on Saturday mornings when they really go all out. Bacon, cheddar, and caramelized onion croissants, sticky buns, whole loaves of bread, amazing specials using ingredients from their garden, and so much more. During the holidays they sell whole pies and other desserts. Their apple pie is truly special and I will continue to buy it every Thanksgiving. I have been going there since they were at their old location (and also had a different name- Four Seasons Bakery), and will continue to frequent their establishment until I am no longer physically able. Thank you for all you do!“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“Peace Love Coffee is absolutely the best vegan restaurant in the entire St. Louis area! I’ve eaten pretty much everything on the menu and most of the desserts. Everything is delicious. I usually order the chickpea of the sea sandwich with a side of chili. The desserts are out of this world delicious and moist. We have brought most of our family here and they love it too! The service is as good as the food. I can’t say enough good things about Peace Love Coffee.“

“This has been one of our regular spots for a long time. Food is great and the coffee is even better. I love the big outside sitting area and the whole atmosphere of the place. We almost always get a scone and one the yogurts each week. The service is always kind and helpful and we have never had anything but a positive experience here.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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! ☕️????“

“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?“

“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.“

“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“

“I drive 20 miles to buy my Jasmine milk tea with fresh brown sugar boba and 50% less sugar because , it is the best I have found in a 40 mile radius. Excellent service, friendly, delicious drinks and the macarons are out of this world especially the red velvet. Business is right by the tailor shop. Try them.“

“Very fast, very friendly. I ordered at the kiosk and it was very easy. The descriptions of their special drinks are a bit confusing to order, but I asked the lady behind the counter and she was able to help me. I got a taro bubba tea and a strawberry cheese tea both were yummy and the bubba had a nice texture“

“This place is awesome!! They have small items for every pallette and the prices are very reasonable. Do yourself a favor and get a small or large box and you will get a LOT of flavors to try for 1 price. Also it is enough to share or keep to yourself. It's in the strip mall with a Chinese and Mexican restaurant in the area. Try this place after dinner out. You won't regret it.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Grateful to have a Kaldi's on "this side of the river". IFYKY This location is a drive thru. They offer counter service as well, but seating is limited to a two top counter and four outdoor tables. The weather was fantastic today, so I took advantage of the opportunity to sit outdoors. The team was very friendly and helpful when making selections. I'm a fan of matcha after living in Japan. I've found most American versions are cloying and overly sweet loosing the delicate flavor of the matcha. I was able to get an unsweetened version and it was exactly what I've been missing! I paired this with the avocado toast with bacon. This was a hearty mid day meal. I plan to stop back by again soon to try more of their menu.“

“Absolutely loved this coffee shop! I had a latte and went back the next day to grab another on my way out of town. It is a little more on the acidic side of roasting though. The staff was fabulous! Food looked good but didn’t purchase. Would highly recommend.Vegetarian options: Lots of milk alternativesDietary restrictions: Great sweetener and milk optionsKid-friendliness: My kids were all happy with their drinks and the staff was super kind.“

“The atmosphere is cozy. The wait staff is super nice and friendly. This was our first time eating Mediterranean food. The waiter, who's family owns the restaurant, was more then happy to tell us about the different dishes. THE FOOD WAS AMAZING! And he even gave us some baklava for it being our first time there. We live an hour away from the restaurant, but we'll definitely make the trip back!“

“I stopped in here while visiting St. Louis and was very satisfied with the choice! The service was friendly and fast even with a line, my drink was amazing bursting with coffee deliciousness and not overly sweet. Had to buy some beans to enjoy at home too ☺️“

“The service was great! Our food came out so fast, it was hot and fresh, coffee was good and my cup never was empty. Highly recommended.Parking: Parking is tricky... there's parking in front of the restaurant, but it's difficult to get in a spot without getting hit. Leaving was also a little scary because it's right off of Gravois, which is always busy and I scuffed the underside of my car leaving.“

“You can order on the self ordering right when you walk in but they also have a counter . The food is then brought out to your table they have additional sauces up front which is a great option for additional flavor . I got a sandwich and tried the Korean hot dogs they were good just wish they were a little more crispy . The drink was also ok.“

“I have stopped through the drive thru several times for breakfast and it has been amazing! I have tried the turkey egg cheese croissant and the apple fritter so far. Prices are great. This place is WAY better than any McDonald's. Thanks for making this a quick, delicious and affordable option.“

“Had one of the most amazing Omelettes I’ve ever had while picking up some equipment downtown today. Don & Lisa are diamonds and we enjoyed every second. If you’re anywhere near here, run, don’t walk & go get a breakfast or brunch. They even had a wonderful coffee and hot sauce bar. Highly recommend the smoked Salmon. Amazing!“

“My husband, sons and I were in the area and wanted something tasty and healthy for lunch. We read the great reviews and stopped in. My eldest chose a build your own bowl with their beef and Carolina sauce. He devoured it and asked if we could come back tomorrow! That's a definite vote of confidence from my picky 8 year old! Our youngest gobbled up the GF pancakes and based off his sticky, syrupy fingers, enjoyed every bite. I snuck a bite and oh my gosh, I would eat these over regular pancakes any day! Hubby had a bowl with the vegan chorizo and eggs which was also delicious. I saved the best for last though: my Grain wrap. Holy moly I am obsessed. Again, I'm not GF but love rice wrappers and this was sheer perfection. I'm totally onboard with my oldest son now, I wanna come back tomorrow! Guess we better move closer!“

“Just got food with my partner and the homie with the glasses who worked Tuesday morning was so nice and literally made our day. Didn’t have cash to tip him but hoping he has the best year of his life.Vegetarian options: Has a few options for vegetarians but they are yummy“

“I've stopped in the Cottleville location a couple of times and have really enjoyed the sausage and gravy and the sausage, bacon and cheese ones. It's a very good, very quick breakfast that's a little different from the norm.“

“A cafe where you can enjoy delicious coffee and small snacks (scones, banana bread, etc.). We also recommend the cold brew iced coffee! There weren't many seats, so we ate at a table outside on the terrace. Recommended if the weather is nice!“

“Love, Love Cornucopia! Why, you ask? Such a diverse store! They have all kinds of little kitchen gadgets that I never knew I needed until I went into the store to buy coffee...AND... The coffee is much to (not die) but to drink for!!! They have a coffee club that you can join. Great place to spend your time... Oh, and the candles, they are much to (again, not to die) but to smell for! You have to Go and check it out...so fun!“

“I made it a requirement to return and sample other dishes on the menu after my initial meal here. I've probably been here three times in the last two weeks. I strongly advise including the vegetarian patty along with the salad (P22). In addition to being a good value for the money, the salad's crunchiness complemented the tasty flavor of the hand-made patties. The majority of the menu items include a vegan option, and they range from smoothies to soups and bowls. The service is excellent here. If you're looking for a quick bite, they're happy to answer any queries and the turnaround time is rapid. The atmosphere is excellent. The site is hidden behind an AMC theater, but once you enter, you'll notice the indoor seating, refrigerated beverages, and a menu with a list of the large variety of food they provide.“

“We went here today and had the best service! Our daughter has food allergies and she was treated with great respect from the beginning to the end. The barista checked and showed us ingredients, and took time with us so we could eat safely. Fabulous customer service! This barista is patient, kind, knowledgeable, understanding and amazing. The drinks and food are delicious. Round of applause to this barista! Thank you!PS. I love coffee art and finding the heart when I took the lid off my latte made my day! ❤️“

“This is one of the best breakfast spots in St. Louis. Good service, classic authenticity, and great flavors. If you're looking for an authentic breakfast experience that transcends the overdone and over-processed tastes at major breakfast chains, then this is a place I wholeheartedly recommend. I loved the food and genuinely felt full throughout the day with what I was able to eat for under $20.“

“I recently dined Clover & The Bee and had an amazing experience! The atmosphere was so quiet and relaxed, it was the perfect spot to unwind. But what really stole the show was the food and drinks! Their chocolate martinis were to die for - rich, creamy, and utterly decadent.But what really impressed me was the service. Our waitress was so attentive and knowledgeable. When I mentioned I had gluten intolerance, she went above and beyond to investigate which dishes included gluten and suggested alternatives. She even double-checked with the kitchen to make sure I was safe.On top of the excellent service, the food was delightful! Overall, I'm so impressed with Clover & The Bee. The combination of great food, drinks, and service makes it a must-visit spot. Can't wait to go back!Dietary restrictions: They offer gluten free crackers in lieu of the pita with the hummus.“

“Got a small which included two flavors for $4.25. Chose cookies & cream and strawberries & mascarpone and it was delicious. Didn’t have a ton of variety at the moment but it’s still winter so I assume they have a better selection other times of year.“
