Such a cute spot! I was dropping some items off in the area and needed some caffeine, so I came here. It's in a small area on the corner right near an intersection. Parking is a bit limited, but the quaintness is part of the charm. I was greeted quickly and ordered a latte. The coffee was good, I prefer a bit of a stronger taste. WiFi is available if you'd like to get some work done. Definitely recommend checking out this cute spot! read more

The barista was super nice and the coffee was delicious! Wouldn't stop in if you are in a rush. Only one person working and took at least 30 minutes to get our food. Also banana bread was kind of dry. read more

LaJoy's Coffee Cafe - Cafes Near Me - St Louis, Missouri

Cute neighborhood coffee shop! Portion sizes are very good for the prices. My caramel macchiato tasted great, and the breakfast sandwich served on a croissant was even better. My husband wanted to leave a positive review just for the high-quality lids on the coffee cups! There is a small parking lot but not a lot of wiggle room directly in front of the cafe. But Lackland is not terribly busy outside of the usual rush hour, which is helpful when backing out of those spots. read more

Triniece was delightful. She helped us order being our first time. The chocolate rose coffee was delicious. The croissant breakfast sandwiches were generously prepared with lots of flavor. Everything was super clean and comfortable. We plan to return when possible. Grateful we found this little gem. read more

Was looking for a coffee shop close to my friend's place and I never knew this place existed! I honestly love this place! I got a hot white chocolate drink and a sausage breakfast sandwich with a hashbrown and it was pretty good. The coffee was the star though. I don't know what they did to it but I drank my large coffee in less than 5 minutes and almost drove back to get another haha Try this place out! Looks small on the outside but on the inside it's so cute and has a good amount of space! There also is a reading library while you wait for your coffee and food! Can't wait to try out their specialty drinks! read more

The coffee was good and the service was very comforting. Local family business and down to earth.

Great breakfast sandwich! I mean perfect. Wonderful croissant with real egg and real cheese stacked and I mean stacked with crispy real bacon. Coffee was perfect as well and the staff is friendly. Best part of all, they openly profess their love for Jesus Christ. read more

Their breakfast sandwich is so good. And they have the biggest iced coffees I may have ever seen with plenty of unique and different flavors for a pretty good price. The only downfall is the parking lot is hard to maneuver and there's not a ton of seating. It's a great option if you're on the go. read more

Outstanding. I just moved into the area so I was curious about this little place. It's so charming indoors! They have two outdoor tables and that area is dog friendly, with water bowls for your furry friends. Had the white chocolate mocha and it's so good! Better than Starbucks. Also had bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich and it was tasty as well. I'm so glad another Black owned business is in the area! read more

I really wanted to like this place since it is walking distance from my house, but I had a not so great experience today. I went in and ordered a decaf iced latte with 1 pump of flavoring. She woman showed me two different sized cups, and I chose the smaller one. I then paid (the price seemed really high, but I figured I just miscalculated in my head), but I did click to get a paper receipt so I could check. The worker crumbled up the receipt, but I said that I had actually wanted it. Turns out there were 3 things weird or wrong with how they charged me. First, I was charged for the largest size of drink on the menu, even though I chose the smaller of two options. Second, I was charged for flavor twice. Third, the double flavor cost $1.77 (not 2x $0.59 which would be $1.18). Anyone one of these things is little, but when you combine them all together they charged me $5.87 for a drink that should have been at most $4.34. I don't care about the dollar and change, but I did want to alert this new business to all these mistakes they were making. I can't imagine a business lasting long that habitually has this many issues. I bring it up to the cashier, who tells me 1. the smaller cup was a 'large' and the larger cup was an 'extra large' (whose price is not even shown on the menu). This seems odd to me, but ok. 2. She then says when people ask for extra flavor they charge them twice because they give them 3-4 pumps. This again seems odd, but given that I specifically asked for 1 pump, she did say it was mistake on her part to change me twice. 3. Finally, she says that they don't program the machine, so she has no idea why the double flavor is charging $1.77 (triple cost) instead of $1.18 (double cost). I say ok, I just wanted to let them know, and I go catch up with my friend at a table. Five minutes later the owner comes over, standing right over me with no mask on, and keeps talking to me while handing me 59 cents. I'm super uncomfortable. There is a mask mandate at the moment (on their door they even have a sign about masks being required, which they were apparently ignoring), and I am super pregnant and trying to be careful. I say that I don't care about the change, but I had just wanted to let them know. I think she honestly didn't understand the situation and how they had actually triple-charged for flavor, but either way, I wanted to be away from this unmasked person. I excuse myself to go to bathroom, hoping she would have left by the time I return, but when I get back, she is still there. I ask her if she could put on a mask, or even better if we could end the conversation, and she starts talking about how she is vaccinated. I ask her again if she would put on a mask, and she feels around in her back pocket, then turns around leaves the cafe. I'm not sure if she was going to get a mask or if she finally understand that I didn't need or want to be having this conversation, but my friend and I took that chance to leave. The forced conversation from the owner was honestly the worst part of it all. It was a very uncomfortable situation for me, and she didn't get the hint when I tried to respectively end the conversation. Then when I was direct about ending the conversation or having her put on a mask, it is mind blowing to me that she would continue to talk, unmasked, to me, justifying the situation with her vaccination status. read more

I stopped by LAJOY at their grand opening this morning. This is 100% a family business! The owner, LaJoy herself, was out greeting the customers and let us know that she ran the cafe with her kids. I did not have to wait long for my pastry once my order was placed. The coffee order took a little longer than I expected, but things were busy for the grand opening, and the owner personally apologised for the wait. I just drink hot drip coffee, and enjoyed that the coffee here wasn't as crazy strong as other shops make it. It tasted great and was not too acidic to cause any stomach issues. If you ever are in the area, check this place out in the heart of Overland. This shop is exactly what the residents of Overland needed. I plan on frequenting the shop for coffee plenty in the future. They already have a rewards app up and running! There were dog treats at the counter and water bowls by the tables outside for pups, so it looks like dogs are more than welcome to hang out with their humans when dining outside. read more

LaJoy has done it again. Great little biz, exactly what was needed. Don't let the parking deter you. Expansive menu, great coffee specials, quick service. Costs are comparable to Starbucks, not as bitter IMHO. read more

Stopped in for a Togo breakfast. The breakfast sandwhich was amazing. Made to order- not microwaved! The coffee is a great size for your buck. Just be aware that coffee is very sweet so if that's your preference it's perfect for you! read more

Loved this coffee shop. Great service and good vibe. Will return next time I'm in town.

We stopped in for coffee this morning and certainly didn't feel any "Lajoy". Didn't get a hello, good morning or even a smile. Disappointing read more

LaJoy's is such a relaxing hidden gem that needs to be found by those who don't like the big chains! It's that friendly, around the corner cafe with good drinks (Vanilla Latte-hot or iced is my drink) and good food. Calming atmosphere to sit and talk with friends, have work meetings, sit and read or just people watch. read more

Great service and the coffee was delicious! I also got the sausage egg and cheese croissant and really enjoyed it.

Parking could be better. Turkey club... They grilled the turkey, fresh sliced tomato on fresh ciabatta was great. Latte was great. Great service, give them a try. Good stuff! read more

Great experience. Not a super long wait time, very helpful staff, and CLEAN. Definitely a good way to spend the money you work for.

I am always looking for a good new coffee shop. I drove a few miles to get there and it was worth it. LaJoy greeted me and the young man at the counter was very helpful. The were out of drip coffee, so LaJoy brewed it fresh right into a cup. Really great coffee and scone (orange cranberry). I will be back and recommend you go there too! read more

My Parter and I ate there today all I say is AMAZING. The experience was all that. Food over the top. Thank you Ladies

Went to the Grand Opening at about 3:00 in the afternoon. Very very busy so we knew we'd have a wait, but it was a Saturday and we had nothing but time and ran into several local people we knew and it was good to see and chat with them. We both had the House coffee and it was quite good. Better than Starbucks, smoother tasting and not bitter or strong like a lot of coffee at other shops. Had several cups. We also had the bacon, egg cheese breakfast sandwich which was very tasty. They serve it on a croissant which I love. Very friendly folks, Lajoy is welcoming as was her husband Kevin. Most of the staff are young and in need of a little training but pleasant kids. The place is clean and tidy and brightly decorated so it makes you feel good to be there. We did wait awhile for our food and had to ask about it and were told the ticket didn't get to the kitchen, but no biggie, they were pretty overwhelmed with customers that day and one of the kids took the order. They'll get the hang of it soon. For sure we'll visit frequently. There's nothing else like it in the area. I think Lajoy's is a big hit with the locals. Word traveled fast about this place because surprisingly we ran into friends from Chesterfield while there. The shop says it's in the Heart of Overland, but it's actually in Sycamore Hills, which is at the East end of Overland, but few people know the difference. The boundary line crosses right there at Brown and Lackland. We wish Lajoy and Kevin much success, from the looks of the traffic they got it looks like a hit. Enjoyed it and will definitely go back and tell friends and neighbors to check it out. read more
