When I check out a new coffee place, I look for two things: Is the coffee "good" to my taste buds…read more(this one probably goes without saying) and can I comfortably sit and relax long enough to read or have a conversation? Upshot offers both, with a bonus of delicious food. We'd never explored historic Cottleville before, and I immediately appreciated the setting. The surrounding streets and buildings bare a slight resemblance to the charm of Vermont. On a recent nice, near-Spring day, my wife and I knew we had to take advantage of the outdoor seating. Serene with a mild breeze, we would have liked to sit and read for an hour or two, if time allowed. I almost always go for a red eye when I visit a coffee shop for the first time, but there are alot of appealing alternatives; I might have to try Maple Bourbon latte on a future visit. Being a major fan of breakfast food, I had to order the hearty Brake Shop burrito, packed with scrambled eggs, bacon, cripsy tater tots, and pico del gallo. It arrived quickly, hot, and even more filling and flavorful than I expected. Beyond that, Upshot offers an ample menu of other breakfast and lunch options; my wife ordered a Turkey Sando and custom-made iced vanilla latte with oatmilk. We don't get that many beautiful days in the midst of St. Louis winter; I'm glad I could spend one at Upshot's flagship cafe, and excited to see how their other locations compare.

I came here randomly with a friend for quick breakfast And…read moreboy they didn't disappoint! Plenty of parking Nice decent sized cafe eatery The server recommended these two items that are pictured! And they are both too their the croissant waffle is something I've never had before it is *Chefs Kiss* The breakfast burrito was soooooo good it was loaded with everything you can imagine! The ambience of this place is clean clear and gives me a coffee shop restaurant type vibe I will definitely be back and it'll be hard to try some different things as good as these two items were! 10/10 I recommend

Start the new year with a great coffee spot! I thoroughly enjoy this place and their seasonal menu!…read moreBut their breakfast sandwiches are SOO GOOD. It's hard to stop by without ordering one. I've only done drive thru, but their customer service is friendly and fast - when during a rush. The outside is cute as well, but the exiting/entering can be an issue from the customers from the nearby car wash. Highly recommend!

I opted to eat inside--there's only two chairs at a small bar area, so I wouldn't necessarily plan on doing that. However, they do have a small patio with umbrellas. Their drive thru seemed busy, but I was the only person inside during my visit. I had great service and my food was delightful. I got the breakfast bowl--a version of an old favorite of mine from their OG location in Demun. My cold brew was perfect too!

After driving by a different Scooter's and seeing their Chips Ahoy blender on a banner, I had to try it. It comes with no espresso by default, but you can request it to have espresso with no additional cost. It's like if you dipped some chocolate chip cookies in a cup of coffee, pretty tasty. I'm happy I scooted on in. Their LTOs always seem to be in a frappe format, which is such a huge amount of sugar, it can't be an everyday thing. I wish there was a way to get it as an iced coffee. But sometimes it IS fun to have what is essentially a milkshake for breakfast!

Regardless of you're going to this church or not, it's a very nice coffee shop to spend time with friends/family, read a book or study/work here. They have a good drink menu and pastries/breakfast items. We got the Strawberry Lemon Sparker, hot chai latte and banana bread (vegan). All were good. Service was great and inviting.

A simple latte with big flavor. I also grabbed a coffee which was super solid. I may commit a cardinal sin, but I do enjoy adding some sweet n low which actually did a great job of amplifying the pecan flavors in their house brew. I used their drive thru and was in, ordered, and out in super time. The worker was great and coffee was superb. Definitely a solid little neighborhood spot to grab some brew.

Top 10 coffee shop in the nation…read more Typically, they have 3 to 6 single origin coffees available as v60 (pour over), Chemex, French Press, and cupped (when doing tastings. They offer flights, hand made syrups, and plenty of milk and sweetener options. Even their batch brew is Chemex and never actually batch. Periodically, they have special releases, like mead barrel aged coffee or specialty micro lots and innovative processing styles. It's the only shop I know which carries cascara (tea made from coffee cherries). They have excellent baked food from Mr Meowski's, if that's your jam. All coffee is light roasted. There are no exceptions.

So happy to have found this gem of a spot! The staff are all very kind and it is such a cute space…read more Most importantly, this is the best coffee I have found in St. Charles.
