The beauty of this South City roaster and coffeehouse is its capacity to appeal to both the coffee adventurer and the coffee traditionalist. From the “flash-brewed” iced coffee to the crowd-pleasing hot chocolate latte, owner Scott Carey has small-batch roasting down to a science (literally—just check out the equipment behind the counter). He and his iconic beard, immortalized in Sump’s edgy logo, have even taken the concept south: He recently opened a second location in Nashville, adjacent to Gerard Craft’s Pastaria outpost. 3700 S. Jefferson.

Despite the name, there’s nothing sleepy about this Richmond Heights coffeehouse. (Coma comprises the first letters of the owners’ names, brother and sister Corbin and Macy Holtzman.) Located on the ground floor of the University Club Tower, Coma offers bold blends from Ethiopia, El Salvador, and Kenya. Another draw: fun under-the-radar events such as a latte art “throwdown,” a brunch pop-up with Farmtruk, and a tutorial on how to properly cup coffee. 1034 S. Brentwood.

This local coffeehouse has become a busy hub for students, as well as for those looking for a cup of some of St. Louis’ best coffee. But that doesn’t mean quality is sacrificed for high volume. Blueprint’s precise brewing techniques and exceptional hospitality make it a standout. Baristas often use their ingenuity to whip up limited specialty drinks.

Now more than 25 years old (and predating Starbucks in St. Louis), Kaldi’s is as serious about barista training as it is about its relationship-driven coffee. (Kaldi’s reps sometimes visit growers in more than 15 countries in a single year.) Trainees must attend a six-class program at the roastery before beginning work in the stores, but it takes several months to attain apprentice status and six to become fully certified (i.e., able to work without another certified barista present). “An experienced barista may or may not move through the program more quickly,” says co-owner Tyler Zimmer. The program is accelerated for Kaldi’s 30-plus restaurant and wholesale accounts, where training is ongoing in continuing education classes held every two weeks.
The also have a downtown location at The City Garden!
