    maple brown sugar oat milk latte (half sweet) at rosemary coffee co in manchester…read more rosemary has been on my list for a while and it didn't disappoint - I loved my drink and my visit! the space screams community with entryway bookshelves full of local vendor merchandise, a sprawling community board, and a lending library within its back bookshelves, and ample seating full of people sharing a coffee with a friend. staff was so kind and service was quick, and loved how much space there was to sit down and enjoy my coffee moment. bakery looked great but I did not try it - will try when I come back!

    Well, I finally tried Rosemary Coffee Co…read more This is a locally owned coffee shop in Twin Oaks, located conveniently off of Big Bend Road and Highway 141. I have been wanting to try it out for a couple of months now. The atmosphere is nice. I'm not always huge on the cement floors because noise seems to echo, but the store is well-decorated and quaint but still spacious. The staff were fine, you can tell they're trying to get people through quickly. I would appreciate a simple "Hey, have you been in before?" instead of "What do you want?" but maybe that's a personal preference. We tried 3 coffees -- the Maple Brown Sugar latte, the Bananas Latte, and a White Chocolate Mocha, all iced. The drinks ranged from decent to great. My favorite was the Bananas Latte. I do find their coffee a bit bitter compared to others in the area. I'm excited to come back and try another drink. It's nice to have a smaller coffee shop in the area. 3.5/5

    I was wonderfully delighted when I randomly came across this cafe! The matcha was top tier, and the…read morecold brew had just enough flavor without being overpowering. I personally prefer my drinks on the sweeter side, so I would have loved a little more syrup in both of the drinks we tried today, but they were still really good! The service was quick, and I loved the patio area. My only other suggestion would be to have a few more indoor seating options for smaller groups. The few 2-person tables were full, so we ultimately ended up sitting at a 6-top even though there were only two of us. Overall, such a cute little find and definitely somewhere I'd come back too

    This might be the best coffee shop in the area, except that they don't have any food, that I'm…read moreaware of, other than a small selection of baked goods. But why would you want to eat food from a coffee shop? I've been visiting coffee shops on the reg for the past several weeks, and I've repeatedly made the mistake of ordering breakfast sandwiches, burritos and what have you. I have no one to blame for this but myself. I knew going in that it wasn't a good idea. I just couldn't help myself. This must be how people end up on drugs. There was a race going on nearby, when I visited 23 West yesterday. I wasn't involved, though I was there in a running capacity. My running group just happened to be meeting there. We ran a few miles in the neighborhood before our visit. By the time we got there, there was quite a crowd. The contrast between the sweaty, disheveled runners and the sleek, modern decor was striking. This place has an interior like some showroom where you're pressured into taking out a high-interest loan to purchase jewelry of questionable provenance. Are they in cahoots with the bank next door? Both buildings, I notice, have a similar facade. 23 West is painted the same shade of gray as a post-McPlayPlace-era McDonald's, when they started trying to look like a Chipotle. Some girls on apps prefer it if you didn't take them to get coffee. It's not expensive enough. If you can get one to agree to such a date, you might consider bringing them here. It's classy. The coffee is good too. I went with the Raspberry Cheesecake Cold Brew, a seasonal item. It was magnificent. I ordered mine to-go, so I could enjoy it at the tables out front, and in case 12 showed up. They give it to you in a tall plastic cup with no lid, filled to the point where it's nearly impossible to carry without spilling, presumably so you can sample the delicious cheesecake-like froth and probably get a little bit of it in your mustache. You can't really sip it with a straw. The coffee itself is surprisingly robust, given the depth of the raspberry flavor. It's an odd idea for a drink, and not something I'd usually order, but the execution was on point. I also went with a Cherry Almond Scone. I had to eat something, for emotional reasons, and it looked interesting. I'm no expert on scones, but I enjoyed it. It may have been the most dense baked good I've ever eaten, to the point where it could probably be used as a weapon, in a pinch. I know it's supposed to be similar to a biscuit and that in England, where they're consumed on the reg, a biscuit is known as a cookie (why?). It's a lot dryer than even the biscuits at a Lee's Famous Recipe, but intentionally so, I guess because it's designed to be eaten with a beverage. A hot beverage is probably ideal, but I made it work with a cold brew. It's the kind of thing you don't realize until after the fact. Next time I'll know. If and when I do return, I'll be dressed as a magician, possibly with a young lady in tow.

    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.

    The owner is incredible and broke down all of their blends. He was kindly enough to speak to me…read moreabout the process of their beans being harvested. I truly enjoyed our conversation and loved their espresso cortado. The blend I would like to purchase from them Penrose. Plenty of options on their menu to try. I would highly recommend stopping by and checking out their shop. There is limited seating but super clean inside!

I forgot the name of the herbal tea she suggested, but it was honestly the best herbal tea I've ever had--simply amazing! Every herbal tea I smelled had such a fresh, wonderful aroma. I didn't want to stop smelling them! They also have a great selection of different coffee flavors and teas to choose from.

I was looking for a place to get coffee beans since we are new to the area. Shawn asked what I liked, but I really liked what I saw lol! He made me a sample of their chocolate raspberry blend and it was so smooth and comforting. The raspberry was such a nice touch! I bought a pound, not grounded since I have one at home. But if you do need grounded beans, they do that here as well! The conversation drifted to what my husband enjoys and he is not a coffee person, and I joking said he just likes soda and lemonade. Well - they let us smell a Berry Blast blend of teas that was so fruity and delightful. We also went home with that as well. I really enjoyed my visit!
