I absolutely adore small coffee stands like this one! They seem to be everywhere in the Pacific Northwest, and I'm thrilled to see more starting to appear around here. This particular spot is a great addition. The barista was incredibly friendly, and the latte she made was excellent. I also appreciate that the menu clearly indicates how many shots are included in each drink—it's frustrating how many coffee shops skip this essential detail. I ordered a 16 oz. latte and really enjoyed it. While I’m not a fan of flavored drinks, I noticed they have plenty of options if that's what you prefer.
I genuinely believe, based on my research, that Bonaventure Coffee is the best coffee shop in St. Louis! The coffee is not only delicious, but the owners are truly some of the most wonderful people you'll ever meet!
Best coffee I've had in a long time! The people are fantastic, and the coffee is excellent. I can't wait to return to St. Louis for more. I'm curious, how do you roast the beans? I've never tasted coffee with such low bitterness before!
Just found this gem of a coffee shop a few days ago. Not only do they have really good coffee and can make anything you want but they have really great customer service. My first time going I did not know what to get and the lady gave me suggestions and really made the experience great. I highly recommend!!
We always get out Saturday morning coffee here for quite some time already. This mom and pop coffee shop is a gem in town. Their beverages are absolutely on top of the game. I always order Sugar Free Hot Caramel Macchiato and yes, they offer a sugar free caramel syrup. Becca and Chris who run the shop and are the baristas themselves are the most friendly people you can encounter. This drive-thru coffee shop is one of the best things this world has to offer! Oh, I've tasted their new offering, the coffee-chai latte. It's rare and heavenly-like tasteful! Nicely textured latte and I like that I am able to taste the nuances of the flavors in it.
