    Iced Macchiato with Vanilla and Caramel, low fat milk
    Jennifer C.

    Gorgeous space, relaxing mixed seating options. Super hot outside, tried an Iced Caramel Macchiato and it was enjoyable. Quiet and nice for an early afternoon break.

    Tried a latte with their house made marshmallow syrup. Was hoping for a strong flavor but didn't taste any marshmallow/little sweetness. The espresso tasted great, would recommend to try a different syrup as my friend liked her vanilla latte and scone!

    Cherry Almond Scone
    Tonya T.

    Highly recommend the s'mores latte and raspberry latte. Their drinks are not overly sweet like a lot of other establishments. The cherry almond scone is especially great when served warm. The space is pleasant and the service is expedient. Natalie is friendly and provides great recommendations.

    Cute, aesthetic coffee shop in Webster Groves. It has a cool but cozy ambiance that seems great for studying or working. I ordered the gingerbread latte with oat milk which was delicious and picked up a bag of the house blend beans. It seems like they only have one size option for lattes. which I'd guess was a 12 oz. cup. Parking is limited as it's only street parking, but we didn't have too much trouble even on a Saturday morning. Definitely would come back! And for the summer it looked like they have nice outdoor patio seating.

    Really cute place! I came here because I saw it suggested in a tiktok video. They had lots of options and I went with the seasonal banana bread shaken espresso! It was really good! They also had a lot of yummy looking pastry items, I asked the staff member what she recommended and she was really helpful in helping me pick something out. I ended up getting the almond poppy seed loaf and it was good! I really want to come back and get a matcha because I saw someone else get one and it looked super good! I also just grabbed my order to take it home and I think the space is beautiful so I would love to come back and hang out for a while! The closest lot was full when I came but I found some street parking not too far away.

    23 West is such a cute spot. The interior is super stylish and well-designed. It is definitely one of those places that feels curated but still comfortable. There's also plenty of outdoor seating, which makes it a great place to hang out on a nice day. The staff was really friendly, and I have to give a special shoutout to the restroom setup. There's a very nice changing table stocked with complimentary baby wipes, which any parent will appreciate. It's a small touch that goes a long way. The only downside is that the prices are a bit on the higher side, and they do charge for even just a splash of oat milk, which always feels a little unnecessary. Still, it's a lovely place with good vibes and thoughtful details. I'd definitely come back for the atmosphere alone.

    Orange blossom latte with ube foam; blueberry muffin

    First time at 23 West! I can confidently say I'll be coming back :) This place has been on my list for a while. My friend put me on the STL Coffee Passport and once I saw this shop was on the list I thought I'd give it a try. I was greeted by a barista who shares the same name as me! Honestly, in addition to the great seasonal flavors and customizations for the coffee, it made my day. To drink, I've been sipping on the orange blossom latte with ube foam. This was a bit of a custom ask but as it's seasonal, I wanted to take advantage of all the flavors! It came out beautifully and tastes like a sweet and savory summer. To eat, I've been enjoying the blueberry muffin. I think I detect a bit of lemon! It's so good :) Rating this place a 5/5 because the vibes are amazing, it's remote worker friendly, the menu is massive, and the staff is so helpful and friendly. Definitely surpassed my expectations :)

    To the girl in the overalls that took my order and the sweet barista who made the pecan matcha for me: this latte made me a better person!!! This cafe gave me a great first impression from just the outside, the patio and inside dining room is gorgeous and extremely clean. The staff was so accommodating and showed curiosity when I asked to add their house made pecan syrup in the matcha. I feel like that's what makes a great cafe! My sister got their Vietnamese style cold brew and didn't have to make any adjustments to it. What a fantastic cafe and hope to see longevity with this place.

    banana bread latte
    Jordan L.

    why did it take me so long to try this spot? love that they make their own syrups, have a great rotation of flavors, and the staff are super sweet. if you want a luxurious coffee setting to do work, or socialize... this is the place 100% the banana bread latte was ridiculously good

    I had heard about this place when they opened and had a vague idea of where they were located, but it took the discovery of their winter specials for me to stop by: specifically their gingerbread latte. The place itself is next to a bank and in front of Llewellyn's, with a shared lot in between the buildings. Since I stopped by on Christmas Eve, it was fairly quiet inside at the time, though it did look pretty inviting. They take their time with the drinks, so it does seem like a place better suited to lounge around and sip your coffee. The drink itself was pretty good, and unique to the other GBLs in town, mine had a slight kick to it. Also interestingly, they did have an espresso martini on the menu, so that might be the thing to get to finish off a brunch day

    Beautiful space, friendly staff, tasty food and coffee. Music choice for a calm relaxing Sunday morning was awful. No wonder the person in the corner had headphones on.

    This spot is always so lovely and aesthetically pleasing. I came here between meetings and it was the perfect spot to get some work done and grab a coffee. They had a special February/ valentines menu, so I decided to get the black sesame vanilla latte. I love anything sesame, and this was perfect. It wasn't too sweet and had a bit of a sesame taste to it. The specials on the menu were super creative and I'm curious to see what their next seasonal menu will include. Looking forward to coming back.

    This is a charming, modern coffee shop located in the heart of Webster Groves. We just moved back to the area and this shop was not around when we previously lived here. The baristas were super friendly as well. Unfortunately, the coffee was just okay, or I would rate the place higher. Perhaps I just tried the wrong latte? I'll likely come back in the future to see if I can find something I like better.

    I hate to leave a bad review, but it was the weirdest interaction.. or lack there of, I guess??…read more The website and the hours on the door say it closes at 10pm. I got there around 8:45pm. As I was walking to the door, I see a man cleaning the tables. He walks toward the door as I'm walking up to it. We're literally standing face to face with the door in between us. I smile, he is stone faced. I go to open the door as he walks away. The door is locked. I try a few more times, thinking maybe it's me. I look around at the hours again, but next to it is a "we're open" sign. I try maybe 3-4 times more before I give up. I walk to the window and he's sitting at a table toward the back, looking at me. We just look at each other, then he looks at his computer. I turn toward my car, then turn back around and he's still looking at me! I sat in my car, confused. He never looked back up from his computer, so I left. Highly disappointed.

They made a fresh pot of coffee and even went the extra mile to go get ice as we came in later in the evening and they had run out. I did tell them they didn't need to, but he insisted which I thought was outstanding. This quaint little café is so charming inside. It allows people to gather eat a sweet treat and have general conversation conversations where you can actually hear one another. They do have outside seating too. The chocolate cake was soft and as a non-cake lover I found this very delicious. Definitely worthy of sharing. I ordered a quiche to go. I had mentioned they didn't have the spinach feta pastry that I had before. The gentleman stated we have some in the back, I'm happy to get you one. So I ordered that too. And although this was only our second time coming, the fact that they'll make a fresh pot of coffee in my opinion is key to a great café. I will keep this in my rotation of places to go.

It's fun, quirky, and filled with delicious goodies -- a great place to get coffee and tea, with the added bonus of sweet treats! I love the rotation of seasonal drinks, and the baked goods are a small but mighty selection of scones, muffins, cookies, brioche cinnamon rolls (my favorite!), and other yummy baked deliciousness! Staff are friendly and helpful in offering options -- for example, I needed some dairy free milk choices. The barista also offered great recommendations with the seasonal drinks. Pricing is really reasonable... which allows you to indulge in some additional baked goods or one of their fun merchandise items like homemade dog treats, t-shirts, mugs, etc. I also like that they have a small shelf of books, records, and games if you want a little BFF time - with your bestie or for just yourself! I enjoy stopping in for refreshments and a little break from shopping on Lindbergh, or getting something to go to enjoy at home. The vibe is relaxed, and easy-going, and marching to the beat of its own drum. You gotta love places like this! There is plenty of parking, and the lot is easy to get in and out of. Just watch your step at the doorway entry/exit. It's got a slight incline - so watch your step. Seating is limited, but it seems to work, because there is a steady "to go" crowd that doesn't take up the tables. I love this cool spot in South County! It's local, and I love that over bigger, more expensive alternatives. I've been thinking a lot about those cinnamon rolls. So, I need another visit!

    I think this place has good coffee, but for a place that prides itself "hustle culture" it is the…read moreslowest coffee shop I have ever been to. Today, I literally had to leave because when I walked in, there was no one behind the counter, I stood there for a few minutes until someone finally came out out of the back section, and then I assume, went behind the counter to tell the worker that I was waiting. When the worker came out, she had a bunch of cookies in her hands that she then had to proceed to fold and put into a bag and then she started making the coffee of two people that were sitting at the counter while I was still just standing there. She did acknowledge me, which I appreciate, but at that point, I have been standing there for at least five minutes and I still hadn't ordered my coffee. I told her that I had to leave because I had to get to work and went to Starbucks instead, which I really didn't want to do. But this has been a pattern with this place- either they're not hiring enough staff, the staff that they have is overwhelmed or something is going on. I've been coming here for almost a year- and I definitely would prefer to patronize a local Shop, but not if it's gonna take five minutes to even just get my order taken when I am literally the only person in line. Also, I wanna add, I literally used to come here three times a week. This is not a new experience, but this one has really taken it over the top. Like I said, I want to support a local coffee shop, and I want to like this place, but particularly in the morning when people are on their way to work, this type of delay is totally unacceptable. I'm not blaming the worker, I'm blaming whoever's doing the scheduling.

I'd attend such a meeting, but more so for the lulz (but also to share my beliefs). I'm pleased to report that there's none of that going on here, that I'm aware of. Granted, this was a Sunday morning. I was there with my running group as part of our ongoing unofficial breakfast burrito tour, the last such stop until this fall, due to upcoming marathon training. Of course it was the most unpleasant day of the year, maybe ever, with a heat index of 117 (no hyperbole). I changed shirts before I came in and then sweated through that shirt as well. One of the ladies I was with left a gross pool of sweat in her chair after she left. It didn't occur to me to pull a Charlamagne tha God until hours later. I'm growing as a human being. Part of that growth is gradually coming to realize that seasonal lattes, unless they have sort of especially distinct flavor, like banana, aren't going to taste like anything other generic artificial sweetener, let alone what they purport to be. I considered ordering an iced caramel latte, but I figured what the heck. I went with something called a Miso Brown Sugar Latte. It was good for what it was, but I don't know that anyone, if you gave it to them to try, could identify it as that. I liked the fact that it had a somewhat more pronounced coffee flavor, compared to some places where it mostly just tastes like a glass of milk. I wasn't as crazy about the fact that it took a while for the ice cubes to cool it down, probably longer than it would have taken if it were served in a glass cup. I went with something called the Annex Burrito, which I didn't realize until after I ordered it is not the only burrito they carry. I guess you can also get a bog-standard breakfast burrito with bacon, eggs and cheese. This one comes with corn, beans and some sort of unidentified crema for the same amount. Maybe they give you less bacon. Mine didn't have a lot of bacon, but the bacon it did have was not crisp and had a precooked vibe. The latter was more of an issue for me than the former. I'm a savage in that way. I did appreciate the fact that it was griddled, possibly using a panini press. The exterior was ever so slightly crisp, while the interior was pizza roll-level molten. The overall vibe was similar to those microwave burritos they used to carry at 7-11, but in a good way. All I needed was a mini truck enthusiast magazine filled with photos of bikini-clad Latinas and a Windex-blue Slurpee, but I was able to make do with a lukewarm mystery latte and the old ladies I run with. I'm resourceful.

Eventually, I'd run out of money and be forced to live out of doors, perhaps in a tent in the park across the street. It would almost be worth it. Kentzo Koffee is not without its flaws, but it's a good place to have a coffee ("koffee") and a light breakfast. It's not clear to me how long it's been around, but it's possible they have a few issues that just need ironing out. A guy from my running group who lives nearby was running down the litany of businesses that have been in this space. Is this location cursed? Was a Native American killed there? This is no fault of Kentzo, but there was some confusion as to whether the breakfast bowl comes with eggs. I could have sworn that it doesn't and that the menu made this clear, but a few members of my group, who are girls with whom I'm not inclined to outwardly disagree, insisted that it does. It seems like it should anyway, right? What's a breakfast bowl without eggs? You could just as easily have such a bowl for lunch. That's unacceptable. This place had umpteen baristas, including one dressed like she was working for tips in a place frequented by bikers (she looked amazing), but they were barely keeping up with orders. This was fine with me. I didn't have anywhere to be, and my drink--an iced vanilla latte, natch--was good when it finally came out. But this is not the kind of place to stop and grab a quick drink on your way to work. There was only one guy making food, as far as I can tell, and he was on it. He made my Breakfast Bowl w/ Bacon and brought it out before I got my drink. He warned me that the bowl was hot, but he was holding it with his bare hand. He must think that I'm actually *from* Maplewood. I had to have the girl who handed me my drink fetch my cinnamon roll. Were they supposed to hand it to me when I ordered? Were they hoping I'd just forget? The cinnamon roll was cold, like maybe it sat in a refrigerator overnight. It occurred to me that it almost certainly wasn't made that day, but it didn't seem particularly stale or prepackaged. It cost more than I paid for most meals in the pre-Brandon era, and it occurred to me that they could just give you a bit less, not charge as much, and I'd be fine with that. Did I devour the whole thing in a few bites anyway, like I just got out of jail? Yes. Yes, I did.

The coffee the best! They offer seasonal drinks too ! It's a quaint place and blend . Credit cards and coffee shops, we are odd! They offer free offers in store and other various options for planting trees for your garden and community. We will see how they grow when we get to our new home . Thank you for the best coffee here today and kindness! We know that's which is our wallet.

    Did not realize there was a Capital One cafe inside West County Mall, granted this is not somewhere…read moreI frequent but it was good to know that it was here. Concept is interesting - part cafe, part bank, part workspace, part bank. The space is modern and clean, and set up perfectly if you want to sit and get work done. Lots of seating and outlets with free wifi. I didn't get to try the coffee and got the matcha instead which was pretty refreshing. The menu also included light food options like sandwiches and pastries which are convenient if you want something quick. Another big perk is you get 50% off drinks if you have a Capital One or Discover card which makes it a much better value and a reason to come back.
