Top 5 Coffee Spots in St. Louis for the Best Lattes, Frappés & Fresh Brew

Take a look at my top 5 coffee spots in the St. Louis metro area serving fresh coffee, flavorful lattes, frappés, and relaxing atmospheres worth supporting.

Everyone has their favorite spot in St. Louis—places they love to dine, relax, and socialize. When it comes to coffee and all the amenities that come with it, I prefer my brew fresh, hot, and full of perks. That said, there are some spots in St. Louis that don’t quite hit the mark for a great latte, frappé, or coffee. Here are my top 5 coffee spots in the metro area that you should support for a quality java experience.

1. Cafe de Blaire

Located in: James Henry Provisions Co

Address: 442 N 4th St, St. Louis, MO 63102

Last I checked they have a 4.9 rating! So yes go check them out soon, and tell Sunny I said hello. Free wifi. Delicious ice cream, sandwiches and latte!

2. Maplewood Deli and Coffeehouse

7298 Manchester Rd, Maplewood, MO 63143

Maplewood Deli offers excellent coffee, with free complimentary coupons available in-store, generously donated by customers. The establishment is welcoming to both dogs, remote workers and the LGBTQ community events, and features an extensive breakfast menu. I especially enjoy their Buffalo Chicken Chipotle sandwich on panini bread, topped with avocado and bacon. As a graduate of the old Foundation Ground venue, I appreciate how the tradition continues under new owner Sue. Her friendly staff consistently go above and beyond. Additionally, Maplewood Deli provides a spacious environment suitable for a variety of entertainment.

3. Starbucks

Various Locations

Starbucks is everywhere in St. Louis, but I especially like their Caramel Ribbon Crunch Frappuccino and the Double Bacon and Egg Sandwich. I always try to pair a sandwich with my drink since the caffeine can keep you energized all day. It’s great stuff, but I recommend skipping the whipped cream—it can be a bit too sweet. P.S., I miss the store in the CWE and at Ball Park Village…

4. Paris Bahn Mi

 6118 Delmar Blvd, St. Louis, MO 63112

What can I say about this fabulous eatery? While it’s not exactly a coffee house, it serves the best Vietnamese iced coffee I’ve ever had. Every visit, I find myself grabbing a coffee along with their cheesecake bites, crispy wontons, or delicious egg rolls.

The menu features a great selection of quick Chinese appetizers, specialty ice cream, refreshing drinks, bakery treats, and flavorful Chinese dinner options available for dine-in or takeout. I especially enjoy sitting outside on their spacious patio, watching the steady flow of people passing through the area.

This section of the east Delmar Loop is really gaining momentum, and with a new spot set to open in the former Prime 55 location, there’s even more excitement on the horizon. And for those in a hurry, you can conveniently skip the line by placing your order at the kiosk.

5. Blue Print Coffee

6225 Delmar Blvd, St. Louis, MO 63130/ Delmar Loop

Their food isn’t particularly remarkable, but their coffee is excellent for staying focused—especially if you’re a student or remote worker like me. It’s a fantastic place to network and get some work done in a peaceful setting, and the surround sound system is outstanding.

I haven’t had the chance to visit their new Grove location yet, but their North County spot has been receiving rave reviews. I’m giving them an honorable mention because once I make it there, I’m confident I’ll enjoy their excellent coffee drinks and everything else they have to offer.

Top 5 Coffee & Latte Drinks

1. Vietnamese Iced Coffee
   A bold, sweet, and creamy favorite made with strong coffee and condensed milk poured over ice. Perfect for anyone who loves a rich caffeine kick.
2. Caramel Latte
   Smooth espresso blended with steamed milk and caramel syrup for a sweet and comforting drink that never goes out of style.
3. Vanilla Cold Brew
   A refreshing slow-steeped coffee with hints of vanilla that delivers a smooth, less acidic taste with plenty of energy.
4. Mocha Latte
   The perfect mix of coffee and chocolate, topped with steamed milk for a rich and satisfying treat.
5. Chai Tea Latte
   Not technically coffee, but a fan favorite with warm spices, creamy milk, and just enough sweetness to keep you coming back.

There you have it. I wish I could highlight every coffee spot I truly enjoy, but this is a great place to start with some of the main favorites. Later this summer, I’ll share even more hidden gems and local favorites with you.

In the meantime, make sure you stop by, show them some support, and let them know I sent you!
