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

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

Gingerbread Latte and Pumpkin Chocolate Chip bread.

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.

16oz Dirty chai.

Friendly baristas, chill soundtrack, well-lit modern aesthetic with currogated metal, hardwood, grey/black emphasis with pops of green, and pretty solid coffee and pastries. Looks like cocktails are on the menu if that's your thing - including mimosas, Bellinis, carajillos, and aperol spritz, among others - and their dirty chai (which did end up being over $9 w/ tip, FYI) is tasty. Located in downtown Webster Groves, in close proximity to Olive & Oak and much more. Great place to walk to.

The new coffee spot, 23 West Coffee in Webster Groves is super cute, clean & has ample space! I ordered a vanilla caramel iced latte & a spinach quiche. My coffee was made very efficiently & served out very quick. My quiche was even warmed up for me which was really nice. They were both super delicious!! The location is super convenient to get to, there isn't a private parking lot so it's street parking only but I didn't have any problems finding a spot. The only thing I would add would be a few more high top chairs at the bar seating area. If you haven't tried go in & take a try!

Banana bread shaken espresso after
Claire W.

Quick and friendly service. They always have fun rotating specials going on. I got the banana bread shaken espresso after a recommendation from the barista - it was amazing!

What an odd name for a coffee shop located in the lobby of a medical office building…read more Er, I'm assuming this is a medical office building. I've only gone there to have blood work done, and even then, only because I couldn't get an appointment at any of the other locations, natch. My understanding is that this building was built back in the 1980s, maybe around the time they built the Galleria, with the thought that if they built one such building others would follow. Fast forward 40 years later and not only is this the only skyscraper in the area, it's one of the only (semi-) occupied structures on this accursed stretch of Brentwood Blvd. I imagine foot traffic is minimal, but I'd encourage anyone who just got off the MetroLink on their way to stab someone at the aforementioned Galleria to stop by and have a look. This place makes a mean Strawberry Matcha. It might honestly be better than the one I had at the Upshot in Clayton, which I passed on my run from here yesterday. It took all the strength of will I could muster to not stop and have a burrito, like when Bill Clinton used to stop at McDonald's on his runs back in the early '90s. Weirdly, I'm now the exact same age, and let's just say I get it. All of it. I love the fact that they give this drink to you not stirred, so you can see the separation between the milk, the strawberry syrup and the matcha (whatever that is). A girl I was with (but not "with," natch) remarked that it looked like an Italian flag. Also, it probably ensures that you're getting the various ingredients in the correct ratio. Sometimes you get these lattes, and they mostly just taste like milk. They're not putting enough syrup in them, and the issue might be that the syrup is visually indistinguishable from the rest of the drink. It's a brown-ish liquid in another brown-ish liquid. The only way to know if it's right would be to taste it, and I don't need some of these baristas tasting my drink. I don't know where their mouth has been. (Some of them could do literally anything and I'd be fine with it.) Anyway, it was a good drink. The burrito wasn't as good as the burrito at Upshot, but it might be the second best one that I've had, and I've had breakfast burritos from all over: Living Room, Bike Stop Cafe, Goshen Coffee Roasters. They give you the choice between bacon or a non-meat option. I didn't think to specify (the heat may have permanently damaged my brain), and they had the sense to give me bacon. Kudos! I like the fact that there's potato in addition to the bacon and egg, providing variety and heft. The monterey jack cheese gives it a vaguely southwestern vibe, and then the chipotle crema that comes with it (truly a miracle substance) really sets it off. I also got a Pesto and Parm Focaccia, on a recommendation from one of the girls in our group. I didn't need it, and if the taste was any indication, this was one of the least healthy things I've ever eaten--like an elevated Cheddar Bay Biscuit from Red Lobster, if you can imagine. But it was good, and it was further proof that this place knows what they're doing, weird name and location notwithstanding.

One of my favorite coffee spots in town. I love a good lavender latte and their spring/summer Honey…read moreLavender latte is top 5 all time in my book. Their food menu is amazing as well, I love their breakfast sandwich and everything I've tried from the bakery window. There is so much room upstairs, at the bar, or outside that it is perfect for meeting up with friends or working solo. If you haven't tried it yet, you need to!

We were visiting St Louis, and I looked up coffee shops to see if anything in the Delmar Loop…read moresounded interesting. This one did, so I walked over from the restaurant where we were after lunch. This is a very pleasant shop with lots of available seating. It just has a rather modern look, and it was very nice and clean. I came up to talk to a friendly barista. The pour over menu was a bit confusing because there wasn't a lot of information directly on the menu, I asked about one pour over because I had never tried a bean of that origin before. She had good things to say about it, but she said that, if I wanted something fruity or floral to try Haro Wachu from Ethiopia. It was as if she read my mind because I had been wanting to try a natural processed Ethiopian. I'm really glad I took her suggestion! It was one of the best cups of coffee I've ever tried. I didn't taste so much of a note of fruit in it, but I still loved it! I made sure to make a note of what it was in case I have room for more beans at home and want to order it. So, I do wish it was easier to tell what each pour over was in the menu (They have a lot at reasonable prices!). However, I left there thoroughly impressed with the coffee. If you are out on Delmar Loop, they are definitely worth visiting.

There's another coffee place nearby that we wanted to try, but it's not open on Sundays, so Kaldi's…read moreit was! That may have been for the best. I know Kaldi's has labor issues and might be paying their employees in coupons they can exchange for day-old baked goods, but that's neither here nor there for me, because I don't work there. And I know they once had a reputation for charging entirely too much for coffee and what have you, as if they were Whole Paycheck, but that's been rendered at least somewhat moot by the fact that everyone does that now. (I'd mention whom we have to blame for that, but I don't think it's necessary.) What a lovely location this place is in. If you time your Sunday morning run just right, you can arrive right as people are assembled, with their luggage, at the little train station next to the parking lot. Hopefully, they're not about to hop a train somewhere for tragic reasons. I used to travel by bus on occasion, and I've heard some stories. The inside is lovely. If they're overcharging, they at least spent some of it on the decor. The lights are dimmed, like at a fine-dining establishment. If you can convince a girl on Hinge to meet you somewhere for coffee, and you don't want her to see what exactly you look like, this place would be perfect. Also, if she's willing to meet IRL, and possibly give it up, in exchange for a $9 latte, chances are you're not gonna want to see what exactly *she* looks like. I've had the breakfast burrito from most local coffee places and only really cared for the one from Upshot, which might be the best thing I ever had in a restaurant. I figured Kaldi's offering wouldn't be anything to write home about but I'd try it anyway, for the sake of citizen food journalism. If this place has the unmitigated gall to charge a Section 8 rent payment for something you can get in the freezer at QT (with a free coffee, if you use the app), people need to know. Turns out that wasn't really the case. Their breakfast burrito isn't anything you just have to have, but it isn't half bad either. The ingredients are a cut above something you might get at a fast food restaurant, and I appreciate the way that the eggs, bacon, potatoes and what have you all seemed to be cooked together rather than layered on separately like in some elaborate bean dip. The bacon is greasier than you'd expect, in a good way, some of which carries over to the eggs and potatoes. A side of sour cream or salsa, or a bottle of Cholula on the table, would have really set it off. I guess coffee is what they're known for. I've had their regular coffee once or twice and recall liking it, but I've heard some people complain that it tastes burnt. But I know some people say the same thing about the coffee at Starbucks, and I might be the only person who likes that. (And yet they somehow manage to stay in business.) Kaldi's iced vanilla latte is surprisingly complex, for what it is. It's not overly sweet, and it's much more coffee-forward than the version I had a week before at Kentzo. Sometimes these things taste more like milk than anything else, which is fine with me, because I love milk, but this is probably how they're supposed to taste. If it's true what they say, that the labor here is not completely voluntary in nature, then at least they're running a tight ship. The consequences for subpar performance must be positively brutal.

I was in Kirkwood and wanted to stop by for a drink. I haven't been back in a couple of years. Cozy…read morevibes inside, lots of seatings. Service was fast. Very excited they got a seasonal menu with Ube latte and Strawberry Banana Matcha on. I decided to get the Matcha and it was decent! Definitely need to stir it at the beginning and occasionally because the matcha kind of gets separated. However, it was $9 with no add on or anything, pretty steep in my opinion.
