Such a cute little hidden gem Love the vibes, decor, and smells Friendly service! Friend got a chai latte, I got a decaf drip and blueberry lemon loaf. All delicious! I was surprised to find they have more than just pastries on their menu! (see photos) They had biscuits and gravy along with a few other things on their written board. (Forgot to take a pic!) We sat on the cozy little sidewalk patio. Didn't get to check out the back patio or basement, but will when I go back! read more

Call me a super fan! I'm here all the time and it's so lovely to have a coffee house in Carondelet, as there's nothing but the Starbucks and I'm not a fan of them. Speakeasy ticks all the boxes - al fresco space, chill vibes, history (it used to be a Speakeasy), good coffee. Now there's ice cream! They have a delicious chili, protein shakes, pastries and now that I've tried, I can say the tuna salad is sooo good. You wouldn't think a coffee house's food would be this good but it is. read more

Speakeasy Cafe - Tuna salad croissant sandwich - Coffee & Tea Near Me - St Louis, Missouri

Stopped in speakeasy on a quiet sunday morning. The space was quite unique. It's a repurposed house. So, the counter to order is basically a kitchen counter. They have a dishwasher back there and everything. I thought that was pretty cool. The worker was super kind. The interior is super eclectic. Tons on vintage statement pieces adorn the interior. Pops of color, various shapes, and even a few odes to st. Louis. They had a solid offering of pastries as well. I just grabbed coffee this go round. It was fine. The coffee itself tasted a bit burnt so it wasn't my favorite latte ever. All in all, a really unique spot with some solid photo opportunities. read more

This place was a really cool hole in the hall, it had lots of seating downstairs and a cool speak easy in the basement . They also had outside seating, which is a patio that is dog friendly. The server in the front was so kind and very knowledgeable. We had a breakfast sandwhich and biscuit and gravy! The sandwhich was so tasty ! read more

Very neat place! Homey and friendly upstairs, with a lavish downstairs and a closet door transporting you to narnia/another seating section. Got the breakfast sandwich - a croissant with a three cheese omelette and turkey sausage with cream cheese and honey, and biscuits and gravy to split. Both delicious! read more

If you haven't been to Speakeasy Cafe, there are so many reasons you should go. The decor and the vibe are so fun! Because I went in on a rather quiet Monday morning, I may have gotten a little carried away with picture-taking, but there is so much to see, much more than in the pictures I took. When I mentioned I hadn't been before, I was taken on a tour and was told some of the history of the building as an actual speakeasy, and the owners definitely recreated that vibe. There are so many cozy spots to sit and enjoy an espresso or coffee drink, a protein smoothie, breakfast, lunch, or even just a bakery item or ice cream. There is something for everyone to enjoy. I loved it here and can't wait to go back. read more

Wow! A treasure was nestled in Carondolet. I got a delicious cheese danish, a cappuchino and several donuts to go! Great bang for buck and hit the spot. The lovely lady behind the counter (who I assume was the owner) was incredibly welcoming and kind. Cozy, full of treasures - one of those uniquely cool and eclectic St. Louis spots. Couldn't believe it wasn't more packed . I wish I lived closer so it could be my regular haunt! read more

One of my new favorite spots! From the history, the warm hospitality, the charming decor and atmosphere, the quality and freshness of the food, A-MAZING! You get a true sense of COMMUNITY, we look out for each other! Gotta love it!!!! A true Speakeasy and a beautiful marriage of vibes, energies and auras! Thanks again for your hospitality Ms. Aleshia! read more

NICE PLACE, VERY RUDE OWNER (NOT BOTH, JUST ONE) Its a nice place, very cool environment. The food is alright but its all pre-made/frozen which offsets the expensive cost. I've been going for a few months with no issue, always the same nice woman behind the counter. She owns part of the business, sharing the other half with who I assume to be her husband. While she herself is kind, her husband is a very rude and assertive man. He approached me yelling because I had been asking his wife questions in passing, which after I explained was simply me making conversation he proceeded to ban from the establishment. If your wondering what the 2 questions were, I asked her what her name was and if the space above the restaurant was an apartment. Both of these we're weeks apart and given I understand how the question about the apartment could be weird he still refused to hear me out when I tried to explain myself. You couldn't pay me to go back there, after all the money I've spent on overpriced food and drink just so I could enjoy the unique environment I get treated like some creep for being polite. read more

The interior is luxurious shining wood with soft velvet chairs and comfortable couches to hang out and read in front of their picture window. Somehow they always keep their AC and fan ratio perfect. Coffee and teas and sandwiches are delicious. I'm a fan of their mango and strawberry smoothies. Their gourmet ice cream is good too. But my favorite is their Kat's Pickles which they serve up with their sandwiches or by the jar. Sweet garlic is my favorite. You'll love the music too. It croons you into a state of relaxation while you're enjoying everything else. read more

Super cute cafe in a historic building with period appropriate decor. I had the vanilla latte and the banana nut muffin here recently, both of which were tasty. The barista was very accommodating and friendly. Super cool atmosphere, quiet, comfy. Loved the decor. Prices were appropriate for a coffee shop, I didn't have any sticker shock, and I tend to be a cheapskate. I'd definitely come back again and try a different yummy breakfast snack. read more

Great new coffee shop. Friendly owner, neat concept, great prices. I didn't get any food since I was heading to breakfast after, but the case of baked goods was very tempting The menu is fairly standard as far as coffee shops go - I just had a latte. But the place just exudes character. There's a few tables on the main level, but the basement has quite a bit more seating and roaring twenties era decorations. If you like new local coffee shops, this is definitely worth a stop in. read more

I haven't been in here since the time I went in and ordered a caramel latte, paid and tipped, and the woman working had no idea how to work the espresso machine or steam milk. She just started adding random stuff on the counter into a plastic (cold drink) cup and was about to steam it. (Nooooo!) Eventually another customer came in who had barista experience and she helped her make my drink. It was obviously not good. The time before that, I had ordered a dirty chai and the owner was like "yeah! We have that!" Then I ended up with something totally different like a mocha with chocolate flavor. I gave them 3 shots and am bummed because this entire area needed a cafe and this is the only one. I hope they've improved. Tip: no one cares about a gimmicky theme. Name the place "cafe" if you want... all people want is a gathering space that can make coffee. read more

I drive by this area quite often and was excited to see a new coffee shop! This part of South City is served exclusively by a Starbucks in Loughborough Commons. Today I decided to walk in Carondelet Park and end my walk with a coffee and snack at the neighborhood's new cafe. They have several tables on the sidewalk outside for nice weather days. Inside, they have the main floor with 2 4-top tables + 1 couch and 2 arm chairs. It is super cozy and friendly. There is additional seating downstairs, but I did not check that out on this trip. Their menu is pretty standard coffee shop. I was able to bring my mug inside to have my latte. They also made a kids steamer for my toddlers. No dairy milks are oat and almond. They have a pastry case filled with delicious looking items. I did not try any this time, but hope to on a future visit. So glad to have a local coffee shop back in the neighborhood again! I will be back. read more

Let me start by saying that I absolutely love this coffee shop! Both the coffee and pastries along with all the other goodness is a chef's kiss. However, today I experienced something extremely out of character. The employee was incredibly rude to say the least. After not being able to access my points which allowed for a $10 off coupon we. We continue to speak all the trash that he come to me yeah read more

great service and love the history! ambiance is impeccable! drinks and pastries are so yummy!

Such a cool place and nice owner. The coffee and chai latte were delicious. The atmosphere was very interesting and welcoming. I would highly recommend this place. Get a drink and a goodie and unwind for a while. Nicely done. read more

this should be put on an South STL MUST visit list for coffee!! We went because it was close and convenient but got much more than a coffee shop! Not only is the ambiance beautiful, customer service was amazing, they had a jazz band, and the downstairs is a lounge/speakeasy area. read more

I stopped by here on a random Thursday morning. I was delighted by the beautiful patio and interior. I ordered a chia tea latte and a chocolate pastry and both were delicious. There's multiple comfortable seats in the top floor alone, and there's a downstairs area too. The service was friendly and they asked if it was my first time in and made sure I got a loyalty card. Definitely coming back with this stylish location so close to home. read more

Speakeasy Cafe - Chocolate pastry and chia tea latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - St Louis, Missouri

This gem of a coffee shop was such a delight to visit and sip a great cup of coffee at. the atmosphere was so chill and the vibe was cozy. This family owned shop has an amazing space full of pleasant surprises. Coffee drinks are delicious and well priced. I did not get a chance to taste the pastries but they looked awesome! I will be returning to try some. The music was laid back and the space was quiet for working, studying, or just escaping for a nice book read. read more

-pastries "look" like the ones I buy at sams club (illegal to re-sell) -employees are nice but the owners seem to talk very condescendingly to them -it's always so hot in there -coffee is mediocre at best -bugs flying around store and pastry case -only 1 person working usually, very long wait times -seems disorganized -logo looks like something from a horror movie -boss man yells at workers "I don't want to lose customers!" Which would make me (as a customer) not come back. read more

This place is a hidden gem. The owners were absolutely lovely and the whole place was very clean and nice. The decor adds a lot to the vibes of the place and it's a historical location too which is pretty cool. The coffee and food were delicious and you really gotta explore the whole place to get the full experience. The basement speakeasy area is very nice and has some exciting materials you have to experience for yourself. read more

Great coffee and good selection of pastries. Friendly hosts. Indoor and outdoor seating.

Lovely, friendly spot for coffee or lunch. Patties are outstanding as is the atmosphere. Give it a try!

I love this place! It is so darn cute! I also love that it was an actual speakeasy! Can't get much better than this??
