The workers were so sweet and extremely helpful! It was our first visit so we had a few questions about their food/drinks offered and especially with their menu down in store we were so thankful the lady behind the counter was patient and thorough with her descriptions and seemed truly happy to help! During our visit I witnessed the staff going above and beyond for the patrons from holding the door for them to serving them items outdoors that are technically self serve inside. It was amazing to see and made me want to come back just for the friendliness of the staff! Aside from the staff, the coffee and food were wonderful! They have a pretty standard coffee menu with a few seasonal options and use special beans that make the drinks rich and delicious! My partner and I both got a mocha, his iced and mine hot and I requested the stencil on top! I'd seen the coffees online with the logo and couldn't wait to try it! Their mocha lattes are coffee forward with robust flavor and a rich chocolate finish that isn't too sweet but still tasty. We also enjoyed an oatmeal bar which was like a fancy granola bar but soft and chewy with a fruit jam filling. It was well worth the money and we will definitely be back! The store was quiet for a late Sunday morning and we loved the jams that played including "Hey Now" from the Lizzie...
Read moreFirst time at 23 West! I can confidently say I’ll be coming back :)
This place has been on my list for a while. My friend put me on the STL Coffee Passport and once I saw this shop was on the list I thought I’d give it a try.
I was greeted by a barista who shares the same name as me! Honestly, in addition to the great seasonal flavors and customizations for the coffee, it made my day.
To drink, I’ve been sipping on the orange blossom latte with ube foam. This was a bit of a custom ask but as it’s seasonal, I wanted to take advantage of all the flavors! It came out beautifully and tastes like a sweet and savory summer. To eat, I’ve been enjoying the blueberry muffin. I think I detect a bit of lemon! It’s so good :)
Rating this place a 5/5 because the vibes are amazing, it’s remote worker friendly, the menu is massive, and the staff is so helpful and friendly. Definitely surpassed my...
Read moreI’ve now been 10 times or so. Usually get a pour over. But I’ve had the occasional oat milk cappuccino.
My first trip was day one and have kept going since.
They’re processed have improved and seem to handle crowds well.
I’m a pour over guy and won’t review a coffee shop unless they do this, whether manual or with a machine. I prefer manual but understand the labor and time challenges. I was told that they can do it manual if the traffic flow isn’t crazy. Which I can respect.
They usually have a pretty good selection to choose from for PO and that is great.
I appreciate that the barista will talk with me about the PO technique and their love of coffee.
I’ve tried a cookie once and it was good.
I wish them well and am thankful they’re here.
Just went in on Labor Day, 2025 and they were slammed (1240pm) but as usual provided great service. Thank you for that team that was...
