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.

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

The space is welcoming and has a few cozy spots to enjoy your treats. The team was helpful with the menu. We tried several varieties of cookies.

What a night! My friends and I were supposed to go to the Savannah Bananas game, but instead we…read moreended up getting caught in a hit-and-run accident and completely missed the game. It was definitely not the night we had planned, but we decided we weren't going to let it ruin the entire evening. So naturally, we decided ice cream was the answer! We had previously tried to go to Clementine's off Mason Road, but the line was literally out the door. Since the Lake St. Louis location was closer to home, we decided to head there instead, and I'm so glad we did. There was no line when we arrived, and we were able to get right in. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. They let us sample different flavors, and they even noticed our Savannah Bananas shirts and asked if we had just come from the game. When we explained that we had unfortunately missed it, they were so sympathetic and told us that ice cream makes everything better. Honestly, she wasn't wrong! One friend got the gooey butter cake, and I ordered two scoops: salted caramel cookies and cream and milk chocolate. The salted caramel is my absolute favorite, and it did not disappoint. Both flavors were delicious. Our other friend ordered the cherry slush and said it was amazing. I also love that Clementine's has both "naughty" and "nice" flavors, with the naughty options incorporating alcohol. After the kind of night we had, it was definitely tempting to consider a naughty flavor! The best part was honestly just how nice it felt to have such a positive experience after such a crappy night. The staff was friendly, there was no waiting, we got to try flavors, and we ended the evening with a delicious sweet treat and some laughs with friends. Sometimes things don't go according to plan, but a good scoop of ice cream and great customer service can definitely help turn the night around. Clementine's was the perfect way to cap off a very unexpected evening!
