The flagship of St. Louis's best-known roaster, Kaldi's DeMun cafe overlooks Concordia Park and pours house-roasted coffee to a steady crowd of regulars.

Northwest roasts on site at its Central West End cafe and keeps a bustling counter with strong outdoor seating, a roaster-cafe for the laptop crowd.

Tip: The patio is the prize on warm mornings. Ask which single origin is freshest off the roaster.
Sump built a national reputation roasting light, precise single-origin coffee in South City, served in a spare room that treats the cup seriously.

Tip: This is a place to taste, not to camp; seating and outlets are limited by design. Try the filter flight.

Tip: The bar seating faces the brewing; ask the barista to talk you through the day's filter. Quieter on weekday mornings.
Comet pairs carefully pulled espresso with a serious in-house micro-bakery, so the pastry case is as much the draw as the cup. A small spot near the Garden.
Signature drink: Espresso and house-baked pastries
Tip: The kouign-amann and seasonal galettes sell out; come early. Limited seating, so plan for a quick stop.
