My favorite coffee place in the city! Their seasonal options are always so fun, and I love being able to get a coffee flight to try more than one drink at once! Staff is always friendly when I'm there. The place itself is also very cute inside. read more

A whole vibe! I was craving a holiday-themed warm coffee on a snowy day, and this spot delivered. Their menu is extensive. I even snapped a pic to share because there were so many options. I ended up going with the gingerbread latte, and it was perfect. I also tried the blueberry cobbler, warmed up, and every bite was delicious. It's a cute shop with plenty of space. Highly recommend for a coffee, smoothie, pastry, or even a comfortable spot to get some work done. read more

Came here on a Wednesday with a friend to do some work. This is the cutest coffee shop ever! The workers were super nice and they had a great menu with lots of options, including food. After we placed our order we went and sat down while we waited for them to call our name. I got a chocolate muffin and a café au lait and my friend got a blueberry pancake latte off their seasonal menu. The muffin was served with the fork and on the plate warmed up, and both drinks were served in mugs. We sat right next to the coffee roaster and saw them roasting some coffee firsthand, which was really cool. We both got some great work done and that super cozy environment. I would definitely be coming back because they had lots of seating and great drinks and food. Parking can be tricky anywhere on the hill, but it wasn't too bad to find parking during the middle of the day. read more

I came here for the first time last month and what a cute spot! Located in the heart of The Hill, Shaw's is a lovely spot for a cup of coffee with a pastry! The interior is beautiful because it used to be an old bank so it's got seating in an old vault, beautiful ceiling details, and there's plenty of space for seating. I had a decaf iced caramel latte with a mushroom-spinach and feta mini quiche and it was delicious! The service was friendly and quick as well, which was great! Looking forward to coming back soon! read more

Shaw's Coffee is a very special place within the Hill community - the crew make excellent coffee, roasted to perfection, but more amazing is the community feel this place brings to our neighborhood. Rebekah and her staff make a warm, welcoming place, one that is unmatched in the other shops in town. Thanks for a great place that's more than just coffee. read more

The cutest seasonal drinks I've seen at a coffee shop yet! Even for Halloween, they had an adorable little ghost latte that totally stole my heart. Their food was just as good -- the pumpkin cream cheese muffin came out warm, rich, and perfectly spiced. The space itself is super cool, with tons of seating and details to take in. It looks like it used to be an old bank, with big windows that fill the place with natural light. Service was a little slow, so a small line had formed, but our order came out pretty quick. Such a perfect way to start a cozy fall morning. read more

Came here in a snowy day for a break between work and I have not stopped thinking about how delightful this coffee was! The space is fairly large and it was popular around noon so finding a table was challenging. I also wish there were more plugs, but I was able to make it work! I as hoping to order food here and did not see a full food menu so I got a scone. The scone was fine, but the coffee was so delightful and living in the front of my brain that I had to give a 5 still! read more

UMM excuse me... why have I not tried this gem sooner?? I visited here for the first time bright and early on a Saturday morning, and I instantly fell in love. I had a busy day ahead of me so I ordered my drinks to-go, but I seriously can't wait to come back and hang out to get some work done or catch up with friends. Such amazing vibes inside, especially with all the plants! I always love when a coffee spot offers fun seasonal beverages. I ended up ordering two drinks from their Valentine's menu, but they also had their St. Patrick's menu available, and I'll definitely be back in the near future to check those out. I tried an Iced Cupid's Kiss Latte, which includes marshmallow creme hearts and strawberry cold foam. My partner had an Iced XOXO Mocha, which includes cherry amaretto and mocha. One of my pet peeves about iced coffee is when it tastes like straight milk. It's safe to say that Shaw's exceeded my expectations with this! Both drinks were incredible and perfectly balanced. I regretted not ordering a pastry. Everything looked delicious! read more

Shaw's is a must-see spot on The Hill. The history of the building alone is worth stopping for (don't miss the vault). And the quality of their coffee and staff has had us coming back every weekend for many years. read more

My 2025 coffee shop tour continues and this week it found me at Shaw's. I walk in mid morning on a Sunday and the place is buzzing--for good reason. This place is unique and beautiful. I think it is an old bank. There is a huge vault that actually has seating inside of it. The atmosphere is lively. Friends, family gathered to sip coffee and enjoy good company. Others studied or worked. The workers were a pleasure. Each one crafting coffee with a huge smile. Super polite, respectful, and their charm added to the homey feel. My coffee was great, i had a black coffee and a latte. Both were great. No complaints at all. The biggest thing I look for in my iced lattes is A LOT of ice. Boom, they passed with flying colors. A super awesome spot filled with even cooler people. Grab a friend head to Shaw's and grab a seat while you enjoy some solid grounds. read more

I visited Shaw's coffee one day after a big snowstorm. This coffee shop has a friendly atmosphere with lots of seating. They offer coffee flights, signature coffee drinks, and a small selection of baked goods. I ordered their vanilla latte, my typical go to drink when I go to a coffee shop, and overall it was good. It had a deep rich coffee flavor that was lightened up by milk. It was lightly sweetened. Overall I enjoyed the drink. This is one of many coffee shops that I hope to come back to in the future! read more

I wanted to give this a 5 star butttt the cashier was not the most welcoming when my friend and I got drinks she didn't ask if I wanted it here or to go, she didn't even ask my friends name and I felt kind of like a burden for ordering . That being said the drinks were so good we got seasonal chais and the other baristas were so friendly and nice and it gets crowded beware but the overall vibe is so comfy. read more

Super bummed that there wasn't more food food. But it's not their fault that my partner only wants coffee in the afternoon when it is lunch time! The coffee connoisseur approved of the coffee and I got a quiche and Kolache. The Kolache was my favorite part of this adventure. I also enjoyed the tables on the street and the inside vibes, very casual, very comfy. We got to enjoy one of the final warm days of the year out on the patio watching bridal parties get ready for the reception, which seems to be a regular thing on this block. read more

came here when i came to the area to get a sandwich This is a really nice coffee shop. the place is super spacious, and the lighting is really good in here. they don't have cold brew, but they do have a lot of options here. the interior is kind of interesting. it looks like this place used to be a bank and they converted it into a coffee shop, so there is actually a vault on display which you can go inside and sit in. sort of neat. read more

I am visiting family in St. Louis and also had a good friend in town. We wanted to try the local coffee shops on The Hill and couldn't miss Shaw's! We went twice in a few days and got different things. The first time I got an Iced Chai Latte added vanilla syrup and my friend got a Halloween latte (the Ghostly Ghoul- which is smores tasting)! Let me say their seasonal halloween/fall drink menus are adorable!! Both drinks were very tasty! (Hence why we came back!) Shaw's is in an old bank building and still has that layout, which is really unique. They also roast their own beans and you can buy whole beans there! They have plenty of seating although it can get busy. The second time I got an Iced Vampires Kiss (which is a mocha with strawberry syrup) and my friend got an Iced Caramel Bourbon Latte. We both decided to grab food this time- I got a bacon cheese scone and she tried a egg sausage Kolache. The drinks were great- if I rated on coffee alone it would have been a 5, however the food was just okay. I think where they could improve is having a toaster oven instead of a microwave. They heated both of the items up and they would have been much better in a toaster situation than microwaved. It made them kind of soft. I would absolutely come back for the drinks! Overall experience 4.5/5 read more

Shaws is an adorable coffee shop nestled in the hill neighborhood. Parking is a bit hectic in that area so you may have to walk a few blocks but it's a cute area. The coffee shop itself is super large with tons of seating. The coffee menu was super fun! I loved all the holiday drinks. They were very unique. The drink matcha was very cute but tasted just okay. I didn't enjoy the pastries we got. They were a bit dry and not warm when we received it. The ambiance is great. I would totally come again to try a new holiday special. read more

This place hasn't been a secret for years. Withheld rating in hopes that it gets less popular, but there's no chance for that. It's always busy on the weekend mornings. I use to enjoy this place as a pitstop on bike ride to city, now I only go during odd times on weekdays. Coffee is great paired with always excellent service. Describing more about the place is all moot as no doubt everyone's already been here. Just wanted to show my online support after all these years of withholding. read more

Shaw's Coffee - Plain black coffee inside - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

Checked out this new place during a Nonprofit Marketers Network coffee hour, and I am so glad to introduced me to this little place. There was lots of room for chatting working or studying, it had a nice feel to the place, and the kings cake scone I had was delicious--and huge! The only thing I didn't love was that they left my teabag at the bottom of the cup; since I take my tea with milk and the tea bag had no string, I didn't know this; the bottom inch or two was undrinkable. Now that I know that, though, I will ask for a spoon next time. I am looking forward to another visit to try the espresso! read more

On my way to study this morning, I stopped into Shaw's Coffee. This window-lined coffeehouse is located in the heart of The Hill and serves a variety of coffee blends, specialty drinks, and bakery items. Today, I was really craving a pistachio latte. After much research, I learned that Shaw's Coffee did indeed have pistachio syrup, along with a variety of other flavors to choose from. I was delighted to see this, as many coffee shops in the area have limited flavor options. The barista who took my order was amiable and warm, greeting me immediately as I came up to the counter. I ordered a regular-sized café latte ($4.50) with pistachio syrup and almond milk. I think this price is relatively reasonable for a 12 ounce coffee in St. Louis. After ordering, I took time to admire the aesthetic of the coffee shop. The interior was brimming with bright foliage and wooden accents. Moreover, there was also an industrial coffee grinder in the middle of the seating area, evoking a sense of craftsmanship and dedication to quality coffee preparation. There was also great deal of seating, which included high top tables, regular tables, and cushioned benches. The walls were lined with windows, which added a natural vibrance to the space. I waited only about five minutes for my coffee and then was on my way. I found that the latte itself was average. The pistachio flavor was forefront but tasted mildly artificial, and the espresso was a bitter, resulting in a latte that lacked balanced. When ordering a latte, I enjoy a creamy and rich consistency, but my drink was a bit watery. This, however, can sometimes be attributed to the type of almond milk used. Despite this, I still sipped on it throughout the day. When reflecting on my experience, the interior of Shaw's Coffee offers a relaxing and tranquil ambience that affords an ideal space for getting work done. Unfortunately, I will likely not order a latte from this coffeehouse again. I do hope to try one of their different coffee blends and a bakery item in the future! read more

I was in the area on a Friday afternoon and wanted a coffee, this looked like the perfect place, and it was. The location is very walkable - the main door is on a busy street but the side door is on a quiet street so you shouldn't have issues finding parking. The place is super cool, an old bank with the safety deposit boxes still there. They've filled the area with plants. They serve at a bar area and have tons of seating. Their menu has fantastic drink options, and I thought their coffee was super high quality. I will absolutely be back, it's such a cool St. Louis spot! read more

Shaw can easily go unnoticed, but it shouldn't be because it's definitely worth a visit! When you step inside, you are greeted with a world map listing the many origins under each region for their roasted beans. There is a small vault you can see as you order. The barrista working Sunday morning has been their a long time in my opinion and does a fantastic job, especially with the number of customers they had waiting. I was so happy to see the cappuccino when it was done. It tasted creamy, warm, and pleasant. I used the tiny spoon to get coffee from the bottom and pick up foam on the way out until there wasn't much foam left, and then I gulped the rest down. read more

Selfishly I don't want anyone to know or visit Shaw because it's hands down the best coffee shop in St. Louis. Among the many things I enjoy is the ratio of espresso to milk remains the same no matter what size you get. It's the only place in STL, that I know of, that does this. When ordering a larger latte at most other places, you're only paying for added milk, with the amount of espresso never changing between sizes. Something I never really understood other than they can charge you more for less. My only critique is the awkward placement of the lovely plant life, making it difficult to navigate the line. Please never change, Shaw! read more

Super friendly staff. I always come here to get my bolts infusion and cannoli to jumpstart my Saturday!

What a gem in the cozy Hill neighborhood in St Louis. This establishment oozes ambiance along with the smell of fresh roasted coffee produced right on location. This converted bank office retains that high ceiling place of importance. You can even sip their delicious roasts in the old bank vault. And the coffee - magnificent! Go for the French press so you can sample the menu. Colombian, Costa Rican, Sulawesi- all so tasty. And not to be overlooked are the welcoming and capable staff. What makes a better take home gift than a few bags of freshly ground coffee. Enjoy! read more

Great coffee, and great vibes! Perfect location to wander the hill after. I had a cortado and it was perfect on a chilly morning.

Shaw's coffee is almost a perfect coffee shop. Atmosphere? Great. Location? Stellar. Staff? VERY kind and friendly. The only problem is that the coffee was awful. I can understand that sometimes coffee shops have a bad day - maybe the espresso machine needs to be flushed or recalibrated - but out of every drink we got (4 in total) only the hot herbal tea was good. I'm not sure if it's the beans or just bad shots, but since it is a coffee shop, the most important part to me is the coffee. I would LOVE to come back and get a great cup of coffee here, but as it is, I do not recommend unless you're getting hot tea. read more
