There's not a ton of seating and the space is small, but it's cozy and especially great in the context of getting a coffee to go. They also have exceptional baked goods. Like the greatest muffin I've ever had - it's a cappuccino muffin or something like that. I have to get it anytime I go. The gooey butter cake (stl local sweet treat) is also excellent. Always recommend.

I popped in before work on a Friday morning and they were busier than I expected so there was a short line before ordering. You really can't go wrong with any pastry, but I got the chocolate croissant and my friend got the ham & cheese one. I've also stopped at their table at tower grove bakery and gotten the lavender lemon morning bun. All of the pastries are soooo good and a perfect treat! I also got the honey lavender iced latte (half sweet) and it was tasty. Highly recommend coming here!! I will be back to try more pastries!!

Tucked inside the 21c Museum Hotel, Good Press is one of those spots that quietly overdelivers…read more From the moment you walk in, the eclectic decor sets the tone--creative, and a little unexpected. It feels less like a typical coffee stop and more like part of the overall hotel experience. What really stands out is the attention to detail. The syrups are made in-house, and you can taste the difference--nothing overly sweet or artificial, just well-balanced flavors that elevate the drinks. The menu is impressively versatile too, with plenty of options whether you're in the mood for coffee, tea, or something more substantial. Speaking of which, the veggie flatbread was a highlight. Fresh, and thoughtfully put together with seasonal vegetables and a delicious goat cheese that tied everything together without overpowering it. Add in genuinely great customer service, and you've got a spot that's worth lingering in, not just grabbing and going. If you're visiting 21c (or even if you're not), Good Press is absolutely worth a stop.

I've had this spot on my list for awhile, so when my husband wanted to do a coffee date, I thought…read moreit was the perfect time to try it! We have so many good coffee spots in the city and this one seemed so interesting to me! Parking was easy, we walked up and only had to wait a few minutes in line. The menu is awesome, and honestly, their food options are priced really fair. Coffee does seem on the expensive side (two lattes for ~$20) BUT it is speciality coffee afterall. You can also see where they're roasting it, so you know it's fresh. I got the s'mores latte and my husband got a dirty chai. They obsviously use super high quality ingredients AND make syrups in house. Very unique, fresh flavors in both mine and my husbands latte. And both were SO GOOD. Espresso was pulled perfect and had great taste. Their patio is awesome, they have a little indoor space in their greenhouse as well, but we opted for outside since it was a nice morning. It's a beautiful property, and if I ever need a place to sit and work, this would be it. If we lived walking distance, this spot would be dangerous. Definitely one of the more fresh, tastier coffee spots in the city!

As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by the baristas. I received a compliment on the shirt I was wearing and then we placed our order. He immediately asked if Kylie would like a pup cup which she happily accepted. The layout of the space reminds me of an online library - rows of books, couches, board games, etc. they even had a kids library area which was so cute! Their menu offers more than just coffee too, which was awesome! They also have specialty lattes available. Kylie made herself at home and got tons of attention from all the sweet customers. Can't wait to go back!

I love supporting local businesses that share my values. I was admiring some of the stickers for sale at the front counter, and I was told that the owner makes them. There were some fun designs. The staff here was outstanding. 5/5 stars for customer service. I had misplaced my credit card and they reminded me I could do tap to pay from my IPhone. Problem solved. On this visit, I only ordered a cold brew coffee and it was a smooth, mellow blend. It was perfect. They made it exactly the way I ordered it. There is street parking out front and in the surrounding area. This is the perfect coffee shop to gather with friends, read a book alone, or to savor a rainy or cold day.

I visited the "Cheltenham" location a few weeks ago, so you could say I'm a grizzled veteran as far…read moreas Comet Coffee patrons are concerned. I've seen it all at this point: the limited, not particularly comfortable seating; the highway robbery pricing; the disturbingly tasty croissants. As was the case with my previous visit, I was there with a local running group, albeit not the same group. We met there, went for a nice run and then immediately undermined any progress we may have made with sugary drinks and baked goods, as one does. We met at a little before 8 AM on a Sunday. The store hadn't opened yet. Already, there were people lined up as if they were neurodivergent middle-aged men waiting to buy Pokemon cards at a Target so they could resell them on the Internet, as a career. I'd suggest that maybe people are buying the baked goods here and attempting to resell them, but I don't know that you could charge more than they already charge and not risk being assaulted, as a matter of principle. It's a testament to the sheer quality of these items that I purchased another one, having yet to fully recover from the one I purchased a few weeks ago. As a result, I'm gonna have to have a talk with my accountant, and trust me, it's not going to be comfortable. When I was at the one across the street from Forest Park, I had my eye on a pistachio croissant, and then the lady in line ahead of me ordered the last one that they had. There was almost an incident. I was fully prepared to pull an Ike Turner, if I had to. Fortunately, they still had at least one left when it was my turn to order. To think, I might have committed an assault for something more mid than I'd imagined it being, like a guy with an ugly wife who's nevertheless weirdly possessive. Last time, I ended up just going with the plain croissant, and I think I kinda prefer it. With the sweet, ostensibly pistachio-based topping, it's more along the lines of a donut. You don't taste the croissant as much, nor did the topping strike me as being particularly pistachio-esque. It was still delicious, and for $7, it had better been. I was wearing a quarter-zip, so I figured I might order an iced matcha latte with honey and whole milk. It's all part of my becoming a more respectable, productive member of society. As was the case with the croissant, it was really good for what it was. It mostly tasted like a slightly sweet glass of milk, with only the faintest hint of green tea--which I realize is just how these things taste. No Diddy. The thing is, I loave, lurve, luff milk. I'm like those guys in A Clockwork Orange. I like nothing more than to have a nice cold glass of milk and then go kick over a wastebasket. It's probably for the best that I had this drink after my run.
