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 took a chance on this one & it did NOT disappoint. Ambience: Right on the corner so you can't miss it. I didn't see seating inside but, who needs it. Grab & go is cool for me when it comes to coffee & donuts. Staff: Super friendly from the time I walked in the door. I explained it was my 1st time, they guided me to the menu, and waited for me to select. I chose a dozen mixed & fell in love from the 1st bite. Donuts: AMAZING! Warm, soft, flaky & full of yummy goodness. When your eyes roll back in your head goodness. I texted my mother and told her about it goodness. Next time I'm in the LOU, this will be another priority stop.

The biggest standout here is definitely the space. It's set inside a beautifully restored old…read morepolice station, and the design is honestly one of the most unique café environments in the city. The old jail cells turned into seating areas are super cool and give it a vibe you don't really get anywhere else. Coffee was not bad. Not overly experimental, but definitely reliable and enjoyable. I've been to a lot of cafés where the atmosphere outshines the drinks, and this is kind of that situation, but the quality still holds up well enough that you're not just coming here for the aesthetic. Service was friendly and welcoming, and the overall vibe is relaxed but still lively. It's a great place to work, read, or just hang out for a while. They also allow dogs! Compared to other spots I've been to, Antagonist really wins on character and atmosphere. It doesn't quite reach "destination coffee" level in terms of complexity or standout drinks, but it absolutely delivers a memorable experience. The cafe itself does not have any food other than pastries but it's connected to a board game cafe so if you want to get a quick bite, it's right next door!

The menu board at the restaurant itself was quite a bit larger than what we saw online. This was a pleasant surprise, but a bit overwhelming as well. We each tried a different iced coffee or smoother and were pleased with the amount for the price. The food itself was very flavorful, and there are a ton of options.

We were visiting St. Louis from Oregon for a concert and in my research I kept hearing of the Gooey Crumble Cake and this was the place to go. It was. So good. I brought two back for my father-in-law and our daughter. I also purchased a package of mix to make them ourselves. The only reason I did not give it it 5 stars is because of the extremely wobbly table that caused me to spill some of my coffee. I had to switch to another table, and it was much better. I liked Park Avenue Coffee considerably, and would revisit next time we are in the city.
