Comet Coffee (Oakland) ★ 4.2
The second Comet sits on Oakland near The Hill, pulling the same espresso and baking the same micro-bakery pastries. Handy near Forest Park's south edge.
Signature drink: Espresso and laminated pastries
Tip: Same kouign-amann and galettes as Shaw Boulevard; both sell out by midday. Best for a takeaway cup and a pastry.
Blueprint Coffee (Watson) ★ 4.2
Blueprint's south-side cafe on Watson brings the roaster's precise filter and espresso to St. Louis Hills, a calm bright room for the neighbourhood crowd.
Signature drink: Filter coffee and espresso
Tip: Quieter than the Delmar flagship and easier for a laptop session. Ask about the rotating single origins.
The London Tea Room ★ 4.0
St. Louis's English tea room pours dozens of loose-leaf teas and serves a proper afternoon tea with scones and savouries. A change from the espresso bars.
Signature drink: Loose-leaf tea and English breakfast service
Tip: Book ahead for the full afternoon tea service; walk-ins are welcome for a pot and a scone. The tea selection runs deep.
Rockwell Beer Garden ★ 4.0
Rockwell's open-air pavilion in Francis Park pours Goshen Coffee by day and Rockwell craft beer with tavern pizza by evening. A rare park beer garden.
Signature drink: Goshen Coffee by day, craft beer by evening
Tip: Mornings are for coffee and the park; afternoons and evenings for beer and pizza. It is seasonal and weather-dependent.
Sump Coffee Roastery (Old North) ★ 4.1
Sump moved its roasting to Old North, where the production roastery doubles as a retail and tasting space for its light single-origin coffees.
Signature drink: Light-roast filter and retail beans
Tip: This is a roastery-first space, so check hours before going for a sit-down cup. Best for buying fresh-roasted bags.
