I ordered online and picked up my order from a table outside the shop. I had the Breakfast Sandwich: "Quiche-style egg with caramelized onion baked into the egg, topped with white cheddar, fresh spinach, and a light squeeze of fresh lemon on a gougere bun." That thing was so delicious and only $6. (Latte was good, too) Thanks Comet! read more

Comet Coffee & Microbakery - Breakfast Sandwich - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

Great coffee here. Much better than Starbucks. Plenty of options to choose from. Order ahead.

Best chai latte in Saint Louis. Period. Not watery at all and always makes me feel awesome. Their pinwheels are amazing, and all of their other pastries rock too. They sell out of so much (because everything is so good), so definitely time your visit if you want to get some of their most popular items. read more

Ordered a vanilla almond milk latte and stuck around to work on some things. They have a friendly staff and some delicious-looking pastries (but sadly I couldn't partake - no dairy-free options - so I can't confirm if they were as good as they looked). The WiFi was free and there was a decent amount of seating available, but it filled up quickly after I grabbed a spot. Although my coffee was good, nothing about the shop totally blew me away, hence the four-star review. If you're looking for solid coffee or tea options and to support a local business, this is a fine spot to stop and pick something up. read more

This place is no joke. I love Comet not only because you can order online ahead of time, but they are professional and friendly, their coffee and espresso drinks are phenomenal, and their baked goods and food are great. All around awesome. Their breakfast sandwich is awesome and so are their croissants. Nothing but love here for them. read more

Hidden St. Louis gem. I'm surprised I haven't been here these many years. The croissant was extravagant from quality rather than size. To me that's a ideal especially for portion control. The in-house made jams were wonderful too. I ordered the flat white which was as smooth and bold as u can get. They use whole milk which is what the drink deserves. read more

Uh the best coffee shop in STL. The end. Just kidding, there's more... This place has the best croissants, the best random baked goods, the best espresso. I'm definitely a regular (it's almost a problem ;) When I moved to STL from Chicago I was a little worried I wouldn't be able to find an awesome coffee place that serves a bomb flat white (I mean, who needs all that extra milk in a latte anyway??) This place does not disappoint. Absolutely love their baked goods but I want to give a shout out to the matcha green tea muffin with passion fruit curd that I tried once over the summer. Since then I've basically stalked the menu every time I order anything to see if it's back. It was AMAZING. Literally perfection. Also really loved their plum and nectarine (or peach possibly? Can't remember) PIE. Soooo freaking good. Also, if I may give a humble critique on the Jamaican sweet potato quiche... The crust is perfection, as with all their quiches, but the only thing that's a little off putting is that the sweet potato isn't quite cooked through and therefore almost crunchy. If it was sliced a little thinner I think it would cook through better or if the sweet potato was baked before put into the quiche it would be perfectttt. Obviously just my opinion. Anyway, I've been going to Comet since before the pandemic and throughout it and they have not missed a beat -- awesome service and everyone is super nice! If I could give them 10 stars I would. Go here! read more

Best coffee in St. Louis. Best croissant too, just make sure to order early cause they run out early.

Worth visiting? Hale-Bopp, yes! *Parking: I slid into one of the extra large parallel spaces in front. They're marked 30-minutes only, but I successfully pushed my luck a little. *Interior: It had a modern minimalist look to it, and was spacious, uncluttered, and clean enough to open the MacBook Air and stay a while. *Service: Immediate and friendly. *Coffee (w/ scone): Latte w/chocolate syrup, topped w/swan art, and served in warm red mug. Very good! *Intangible Assets: The baristas were using time between customers to conduct a small-scale experiment (w/ beans, brews, or some combination thereof). The enthusiasm they demonstrated for their work made the whole experience feel more interesting. It's difficult to put a price on that. read more

Hello, my name is Davis. I am a coffee addict. I had several recommendations to stop in here. Both from respected locals. I give this place a solid 4.5. Starbucks can suck it. Now that i have broken the ice with this place, its all down hill from here. Comet Coffee... where do I buy stock?? This spot is likely 70% responsible for me always staying at the Hilton next door (they should make their presence known there). The drip coffee, knowledgeable baristas, WIDE variety of beans and teas and the tasty baked goods give this place a solid 4.5. It lacks in decor and atmosphere. The decor seems a little cookie cutterish and generic. I like edgy-eccentric art and louder music. In fact the walls should be COVERED in art. COVERED! Let me say this though: I WILL CONTINUE TO SPEND MY HARD EARNED MONEY THERE (when in town)... and maybe the decor will improve as a result? read more

Needed a good, quick coffee stop before meeting a friend in Forest Park. Comet Coffee was definitely not quick, but it was good and a great overall Yelp find. With eight or so people in line (and a counter of sold-out pastries), we thought it must be good if all the locals are spending their Labor Day morning there. Our order: Cortado - $4 - perfection, one of the best I've had House Coffee - $3.25 - believe they only hand pour coffee, which is delicious, but time consuming. In a time crunch, I would have preferred a $2 drip, if available Chocolate Chip Cookie - $2.5 - kind of pricey but worth it One shocker: who the heck buys a $45 bag of Intelligentsia? You can buy it for $14.99 at your local Target. read more

I wasn't feeling lunch and came here to get a little pick me up. I've never understood the novelty of coffee until I came here and fell in love with the hand brew Natural Ethiopian. I don't think I ever felt so seduce by a beverage. Comet's space is a bit small and gets very busy on the weekends, but don't let that turn you away. The staffs is uber cool and welcoming compare to other pretentious coffee joints. Don't hesitate to ask any coffee-related questions. They seem to know a lot about what they seemed so passionate about. Also each coffee, served to their customers, is carefully crafted and personalized. Walk in and experience a cup, then you'll understand why people are buzzing for a cup here. Also please check out their wonderful baked goods. I like to pair the Ethiopian with a Snickerdoodle. read more

The best coffee, best pastries, friendly service. Or favorite Saturday breakfast place! The bear claws are epic!

My favorite spot in Saint Louis, hands down, since the first time I walked in there. Pain au chocolat is hands down the best I've had, even after a trip to Paris and the countless pastries I ate there. The rotating espresso blends is a phenomenal idea, and has expanded my horizons. A breve caramel latte is my typical, as the caramel that they make (in house, it must be said) has such richness to it, it has spoiled me for all other caramel lattes. Since the ungodly Saint Louis heat has set in, however, I've been taking a double dose of the Kyoto Cold Brew Concentrate. Everyone there is fantastic and a hoot to talk to. Very humble and excited to share the best things they've got going for today. The recent addition of macarons to the pastry case has had me indulging (and going to the gym about twice as much). read more

Comet Coffee is my favorite coffee shop in St. Louis. Top-notch coffee and delicious freshly-baked pastries (especially their croissants). Baristas are super nice and friendly. Been coming here for years. read more

I will only be in St Louis until July. When I leave, Comet Coffee will be the place I miss the most in St Louis. This is not the place you go to get your drive through coffee. Every single cup is made to order. They weigh all the components of each serving and do it over if it's not right. This is where you go to experience coffee at it's best and to learn about coffee from around the world. If you are willing to wait 5 min for a cup of coffee, please try this out. People who strive to be this good at something deserve recognition. read more

Funky little place with fresh pastries and really good drinks. Also awesome workers! Shared a (amazing) strawberry rhubarb pie with one of the baristas, on the house! Also great place for studying, good atmosphere for it. A bit on the expensive side though. read more

This place is serious about their coffee. It's definitely the best coffee in this part of town (including the Central West End). They have a coffee menu with a handful of coffees (pricing $3.50 - 4.00 each). You pick a coffee and a brew method (Aeropress, clever, V60 pourover, siphon ($2 extra), french press or espresso) and they make each cup to order. There is no drip coffee. I took the barista's suggestion for a lighter roast bean and he suggested V60 brew method (I had asked for FrenchPress but he recommended against it for this bean). It was served in a small Hario glass coffeepot, enough for about 2-3 small cups. The barista was extremely friendly and eager to talk about the coffee and brewing methods. The coffee is definitely 5 star, but for me, a coffeeshop is about 2 things: coffee and atmosphere. The atmosphere is a little cold in here, with cement floors and almost no decor or soft items. The large windows have no shades, so it's kind of bright in here. That being said, I will definitely be back. Notes: *They do have cream and milk, just ask. * Free wifi. *There's seating for about 25 people plus a couple big easy chairs. *Music is not too loud. read more

A wonderful coffee cafe with a really nice vibe and soundproofing so the noise isn't an issue. Relaxing with attention to detail and the baristas are knowledgeable and thoroughly enjoy what they do! Happy to impart information and educate and there is real pride in the freshly sourced pastries which are full of flavor. It may seem funny to notice but the plates for the pastries are heavy and have a good feel-no plastic but rather stoneware. So nice! And the cedar trays for my hand brewed coffee with a stoneware cup is another nice touch... The bear claw was flaky and full of subtle delicious flavors and freshness, as was the croissant. Each mouthful seemed more flavorful than the last. Parking is right out front though you have to back in but it's very convenient. Just a very civilized coffee and pastry cafe and I'm satiated from beautiful pastries and a very lovely cup of hand brewed coffee! Good feel with little white noise so it's relaxing... I will return for the freshly made blueberry muffins read more

My favorite coffee shop in St. Louis brings the perfect combo of excellent coffee and superb customer service to a second location, and adds ice cream to boot. It's more of a small hang-out spot, with only four counter seats inside, but again, serving Blueprint Espresso, the best the city has to offer. If you've been waiting for Comet to stay open later, your wish has now come true. read more

I was highly skeptical of the $3 mini muffin and $6 regular muffin. Those muffins sat me down and wagged a finger in my face to tell me what's up. Never before have I had a savory cheese muffin with a poached egg in the middle, and I probably won't ever have a better one than at Comet Coffee. Blew my mind. The mocha latte was excellent as well - balanced and not overly sweet. read more

Let's just address the elephant in the room. This place is in an odd location in a strip by the highway. However, decent parking in front and around back of building. That being said, this is some of the best coffee in the St. Louis region. No gluten free food options in the bakery but I'll let that slide (for now) because that's how good the coffee tastes. Just watch out for the birds if you sit on the patio. They take no prisoners and your ankles may not be safe. read more

Comet Coffee & Microbakery - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

+ Super knowledgeable but unpretentious baristas + Local baked goodies + Best croissant selection in STL!!! This is my favorite coffee place in STL. The coffee is superb, the baristas know exactly what to whip up or suggest to your tastes, and the pastry/baked goods selection is out of this world. Their coffees are quality single origin beans that are super fresh and brewed using a V60 pour-over. So your order will take 5+ minutes to make so this is not a place to go if you're in a hurry trying to just get your drip coffee on-the-go. The baristas seem very passionate about their craft and offer tips and suggestions and educate on the available selection without being pretentious or pushy at the slightest. And let me tell you about the pastries. Especially the CROISSANTS. I've had two of the best croissants pretty much... *in my life* here at Comet Coffee. Their CHOCOLATE CROISSANT is buttery, flaky, perfect. They also have a HAM & CHEESE CROISSANT with lonza and Camembert cheese from Salume Beddu. I had the most spectacular day after inhaling this croissant! read more

Have stopped by here a few times, and have never had an subpar experience. Atmosphere is a industrial, sleek and a little dark. The wood tables are a nice touch, it helps to warm the place up. Good coffee, good food, what could go wrong? Pros- 1. Quality coffee that is prepared well and stands on it's own. Someone who appreciates good coffee will love this place. There is a couple espresso preparations (Americano, Cappuccino, Mocha) but, otherwise, pretty straight forward in the coffee offerings department. 2. If you can come on a Saturday or Sunday, you need to try their soft-boiled egg in a muffin thing. I cannot remember what, exactly, it is called, but I swear my description sums in up pretty well. A soft boiled egg is some how prepared in a savory muffin, and it is delicious! They usually offer a vegetarian and omnivore option. 3. Service is food and I really get the feeling that they are passionate about what they do and the product that they sell. Cons- 1. The baked goods lean towards too over done. Nothing is burnt and the flavors are good, it's just that everything had a dark brown sheen and some items -like delicate, flaky pastries- would be better at a lower heat/less time in the oven. It is kind of nit-picky, but it would take this place from a 4 star to a 5 star establishment, for me. 2. Very popular, to the point where seating is difficult at high traffic times. In the summer, diners can take advantage of the outdoor seating, but in the winter, seating is limited. I don't know if much can be done about this, because the place is not very big. 3. For vegan or dairy free diners, there are no options. They do have non-dairy milks for coffee, but nothing from the bakery. Overall, good place to stop by if you are in the area. read more

Comet coffee is one of the best places to go in St. Louis for coffee. They have a great selection of pour overs and espresso drink options. Also have great cookies. In normal times they are also a great place to work-really nice environment. They have some parking 30 minute spaces and others in their office complex lot. Easy access from the highway if you are looking for a quick stop. Right now they have contactless ordering-so you order online and then pick up on a table outside. Easy. read more

The thing they do with the soft-boiled egg in the middle of a savory muffin is ridiculously good. I'd eat it for bfast every day if I could! Great cold brew on top of that. read more

PROS: - Holy moly, the baked goods here are the bomb! Must tries: croissants and bear claws (I can't figure out for the life of me how these goodies end up so perfectly flaky yet buttery rich. Gah!) - fresh pour over coffee every-time with the Hario V60 brewer - knowledgable and friendly baristas - fast wifi - free parking right in front (reverse parking only) or in the back business lot - outdoor seating available The one and only con: - crummy hours: closes at 4pm on Saturday's, 2pm Sunday's, and 5pm weekdays Notes: - This is obviously not the place to go if you want to grab a coffee to go ASAP. Keep in mind that a pour over takes a couple of minutes! - I personally prefer the taste of the roasts at Northwest Coffee, but the fast and reliable wifi + lack of offensively loud background music + amazing bakery selection at Comet Coffee makes this the #1 coffee joint for me read more

This is probably my current favorite coffee place. The coffee selection is amazing and always hand-brewed to perfection. Comet has lots o pastries and quiche, but the most unique item they have is the Rebel Inside muffin. It's a muffin with a soft-boiled egg inside, so if you don't like your yolks runny, don't bother. As much as a treat as the egg is, the real magic is the top of the muffin. There is a type of pungent cheese going there that I can't identify, but I love it madly. read more

I've tasted vanilla lattes across the country, so I've had the good and the bad. Comet's is the smoothest, most rounded and most comforting I've ever enjoyed. Topped with rich, silky foam and a beautiful flourish, it's a delicious, handcrafted cup to linger over on a cold winter afternoon. Clearly I'm not alone in my opinion: On a Monday afternoon, the place is packed with students and writers, lively conversations and laptops. I'd definitely become a regular here if it weren't so far away from my California home--but you know I'll be back next time I'm in St. Louis! read more

Comet Coffee makes Starbucks look like a 6-year old. They've take coffee to a WHOLE. NOTHER. LEVEL. But most importantly, they've done this without coming off pretentious. Loved this place on my first visit and will most definitely be back. As a genuine coffee lover who isn't looking for a cup full of sugar, but rather the true coffee taste with hints of flavor, this place is for me! They had maybe 10 different coffees from around the world to choose from. I told them I enjoyed nutty undertones and they casually suggested a coffee from Brazil. They brew it using some kind of method I've never seen before (I told you, they a very serious about the coffee) and serve it to you in a small coffee carafe with your own coffee cup and saucer. This yielded about 4 cups of coffee. The food's pretty cool as well. We tried a scone with goat cheese, walnuts and pears and their savory breakfast muffin with a soft boiled egg inside. Both were great. This place is no joke. If you're a coffee lover, check it out! read more

Location: I won't lie, it took me a while to warm up to Comet. The location is awkward, it takes a bit to navigate over and then find parking in the back or front. Sometimes it's impossible. 3/5. Atmosphere: The space itself is like an L-shaped hallway, with little room other than to stand in line or sit down across from the counter. Many people come for business meetings or laptop hang outs. It's brightly decorated and very chic. Just very small and awkwardly shaped. Very little sitting space, often none during the morning rushes. 3/5. Service: After many, many trips back this coffee shop has become one of, if not my favorite coffee shop in St. Louis. While usually impossibly busy on any opening morning with most tables full and a line to the door, the service and product is well worth the wait. The service is top notch. Everyone on staff smiles and engages with knowledge and warmth. They also ensure you get personalized interactions, bringing your drink to you at your table, sometimes bringing over water as well. 5/5. Product: The ham and cheese croissant is unlike any other. None of that deli ham crap. But premiere ingredients. It's hefty, but well worth the 5$ price tag. The almond croissant is also another favorite, although I've tried them all. Comet's croissants are the best I've ever had, super buttery and flaky with tons of flavor. Honestly though, it seems their pastries never cease to amaze me. Now for the coffee, the hand brews never disappoint, the cappuccinos are well worth, each shot fruity combined with creamy milk. I usually order the iced latte, I appreciate a good amount of cold milk with a shot that is flavorful and done right. (It's harder to find a good iced latte than you would think) They provide what I'm looking for nearly every time. I trust the baristas at Comet to serve quality coffee drinks. 5/5. Conclusion: Every ingredient and every product screams quality and clean. The space behind the bar runs like a machine, always spotless and beautiful and you can't get better in terms of service. Thank you for exuding your passion for coffee and pastries every time I'm in and well beyond. The best coffee and pastries in STL, I just wish they had another space. read more

The croissant with passion fruit curd was amaaazing!! They have a couple chairs and tables outside but I'd take it home or to a park - very loud, outside office building by freeway. Re covid, no going inside, you have to order online. They have info posted if you don't do ahead of time. I don't know what you do if you don't have a smart phone.. We were there on a weekday and wasn't a long wait for croissants and lattes. We saw maybe 5-10 other customers during our hour visit. read more

We chose Comet due to its proximity to our hotel, (Hampton Inn and Suites) on our first morning in St. Louis. We went back the second day because it was so good! On our first morning there I had a very good pour over of their Costa Rican coffee. Very flavourful and just the right roast. The kids had hot chocolates that they loved and their pastries were a hit! On our next visit, (day two), I had a latte, (at the suggestion of their barrista) and it was great! Again, the coffee was very flavourful and the dairy part was executed perfectly. I also had a chocolate chip muffin that was very good! I highly recommend Comet if you're looking for a good cup of coffee and a pastry! read more

I like the quality of their coffee. All of the pastries are so good. But I was recently in, and the barista came up to me to confirm my order! It just made my day to feel like someone recognized me. It's the warmest feeling walking into a coffee shop and getting that kind of service. read more

I'm not sure why they call it Comet because it should be called Da Bomb! Wow. Great chill coffee joint. Staff is very courteous and friendly. Even busy the java comes out quickly.

This was close to the Science Center. There espresso-based drinks were very good and they would top it off with foam art :) They use a special system to make each unique cup of coffee. I can't remember what it is, but the device is fairly small and they push the coffee through using their muscles. They have a good selection of loose teas to choose from. My husband has issues with coffee so has been forced to become a tea drinker and is super picky about his teas, since he wants them to be similar to coffee in taste and fullness. He found one that met that criteria there and loved it so much, he contacted the maker of the tea and ordered some for home. They also had 2-3 gluten-free pastry options which is extremely rare for coffee shops. I had one and it was really good (even more rare at a coffee shop). The staff was super friendly. It was a great experience all-around so we ended up going there 2 days in a row. The next time we are in town, we will be sure to go there again. read more

I am not a big coffee drinker, but I love tea and I think coffeeshops are a great place to sit and chat. I came here with a friend on a Thursday afternoon to drink some tea and chat. The space is pretty small, but sleek. There was a limited amount of pastries by around 3pm, but a large list of high quality coffees and teas. I chose the iron goddess of mercy tea - an oolong - and a lemon poppyseed scone. I really enjoyed how they actually use real tea leaves here. It's not like they just give me a bag of tea and pot to steep it in. They actually made and steeped my pot of tea for me in one of those fancy ingenuiTEA strainers. When they gave me my tea, they gave me a little Japanese tea cup and a cute pot so I could pour my own cups. The tea was really good. You can definitely tell the difference when they use tea leaves instead of a cheap tea bag. The lemon poppyseed scone was ok. Not the most amazing scone, pretty average. The only problem I had was the seating was limited and many people were just sitting there and doing work. I had a hard time finding a seat and we had two share at a big table with others and we had to sit next to each other to talk. Overall, I enjoyed the service and the quality of comet coffee and I would come back as I good place to chat and drink tea. read more

The place was clean and we got to sit at the end of a long wooden table that looked like a natural piece of a tree that had been varnished. Very cool. One son had a latte, and he said it was the best he had had in a long time. My chai latte was excellent with lots of foam and it was decently sweet. My other son had brewed coffee from Jipat, Ethiopia. They list the origins of all their coffees. The menu said this one had notes of caramel, raspberry and lavender. I thought it was pretty amusing how they described their coffees like wines are described, but then again I do not drink coffee so maybe it means something to those who do. Anyway, he enjoyed it. We also had a blueberry muffin which was excellent with a crunchy topping and big blueberries and a muffin called the Rebel Within, which was a sausage and Asiago muffin with a soft boiled egg inside. It was crazy good and I still can't figure out how they peeled the soft boiled egg and got it in there. They noted on their side board that they locally sourced (mostly Missouri farms, some Illinois) their eggs, milk/cream, honey etc, which was nice to know. All in all it was a good experience, although it was not the cheapest place to have muffins and coffee. read more

I moved to STL almost a year ago and have been searching for a favorite place that I would want to go to repeatedly without question. I am glad to announce that I have finally found that place for breakfast and coffee - Comet Coffee! If you are on yelp searching for the best coffee or amazing pastries in the Lou, put down your phone and head there now. I am not a coffee snob, but I can tell you hands down this is the best coffee I have had in St. Louis. They have a lot of options for coffee and I went with their La Folie. The menu described its flavors as blackerry, tangerine and honey. I must admit I was unsure if I would like it, but I'm glad I tried something new! Yes, it had a coffee taste and it was very well balanced and enjoyable. It was robust in its flavors like a good wine. The ham and cheese croissant I ordered was also outstanding! They definitely did not skimp on the quality of ingredients and they know how to make a quality croissant. The croissant brought me back to memories of French bakeries in europe when I studied abroad. If you are tired of coffee shops with frozen pastries and burnt coffee, this is your place! They know their coffee and pastries, and they do it very well! Their customer service is also great! The employees seem to genuinely enjoy their jobs and it shows. read more
