    If you like supporting local, supporting the marginalized, sex, and good coffee you shall not be shamed in shameless grounds. If you hate sex, hate inclusivity, and can appreciate good coffee... steer clear! Shameless grounds is a wonderful spot and safe space for all to gather under the guise of good brew. The staff are awesome, super nice, respectful, and accommodating. The interior is sex themed. But not traditional sex. No, this place is kinky. Which is interesting because when I think coffee I think calming, relaxing. This is the opposite. A stick it to the man establishment, if you will. You're getting punched in the face with erotica themed drinks/dishes, all sorts of toys/gadgets. It is insanely playful while still feeling very serious. Absolutely a great spot. And, well, as you can tell by the photo, my latte was already empty before I remembered to snap a photo. So, let that be an indication of the coffee quality (fantastic, sexy).

    Review Visit: November 6th, 2016 Looking for a coffeehouse in St. Louis, MO led me to this very interesting place. Long story short, I needed to find a coffeehouse that was open late on a Sunday as I was driving down to see a concert. A quick look on Yelp led me to this place. Quite the interesting coffeehouse. It is a 'sex positive' place. Not exactly sure what that means, but they seem to support people regardless of sexuality. The place itself was nice. The inside was cozy. They have a library which you can check books out. There is a decent sized food menu. There are baked goods. They have coffee, naturally. The tables were unique and are definitely NSFW, so be careful while scrolling through the photos. I ordered my usual Iced Caramel Latte, sat down and chilled until they brought it out to me. While it wasn't the best coffee I had (it was mostly espresso and milk without much caramel flavor), I can fully support a place like this. It was busy for it being a late Sunday afternoon and the crowd seemed friendly. Staff was equally friendly. I am guessing there is a campus nearby as it seemed like a popular alternative spot for college kids. A pretty unique place that is warm, friendly and open to all kinds of people. I told a friend about and they are wanting to go, as it would be right up their alley.

    I came here on my lunch break for a light lunch, and this southwest chicken salad called "Reverse Cowgirl " hit the spot. I also got the bottomless iced tea with it. The salad uses butter salad, which is light and refreshing. Crisp but not as crisp as iceberg lettuce. The chicken on top is served hot, which is really comforting with the chips corn and tomatoes. The sauce is a Chipotle ranch, but it's a thin sauce, so you can easily just add a little and spread it around without it being overpowering. This business is by a park on a residential street in soulard/benton park, so it feels nice parking and walking in. The building is a classic brick walls and wood floors and trim st louis style home. I asked if they roasted their own beans, but they do not. They only bring in beans from local roasters to use. The food came out quick, and I was able to drive here, eat, and back to work within 30 minutes while still feeling like i had that taking a break from the workplace experience.

    I came here to check out a new coffee shop with a unique vibe. I ordered an iced caramel latte and a gooey butter cake. The interior is so cozy and inviting. I would love to come here next time, just hang out with my laptop and lounge. The staff was super friendly, and I got my order in mere minutes! If you're looking for a new coffee shop in town, I highly recommend this coffee shop. It passed my vibe check. There is also a backyard area, but I never got to check it since it was pouring when I stopped at this coffee shop.

    I popped in here for a quick coffee and realized that this place also serves lunch! They had a great case of pastries and brownies. I ordered a cappuccino and a triple chocolate brownie for a late afternoon pick me up. The ladies working were amazing and super friendly. I'll have to come by next time for lunch!

    Offbeat and off the beaten path. With a side of inviting harmonious ambience. Funky cool and delicious. I had one of the egg based breakfast specials with some Tabasco and ham. Tastebuds are still going through PTFD - Post Terrific Food Delight. An endless cup of self service coffee rounded out the perfect preflight meal. I'm still kicking myself for not ordering a sandwich to go for the flight. This place is alternative not everyone's cup of tea. Expand your tastes in tea and come here. Directly across the street from a park. What more could you ask for?

    Staff has no problem being quite rude and judgey if your deemed to be not their type. Negative vibe.

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.

    Slow service. I ordered a latte and avocado toast. My latte wasn't hot when it came out, and…read morecertainly wasn't hot when my toast came 45 minutes later. The toast came with "eggs," which was really one egg. But my biggest gripe is there wasn't a plate. My toast had a nice crunchy crust, but trying to cut it on a cardboard to go container was cruel, especially after how hungry I was after waiting so long to eat. Not at all a pleasant experience. Smashed avocado was really just a very tangy, one-note guac and black walnut latte was overly sweet, lukewarm, and lacking any distinctive walnut flavor. Feels completely wild to pay $30 for this (after tax and tip), have to wait close to an hour, and not even get a plate to eat on. Had to bus our own table too.

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!
