Northwest Coffee Roasting

I stopped here for coffee and I have found a new happy place. Very cool setting to sit and get some work done and have great coffee. Service was friendly and prices were reasonable. I didn’t get a pastry this time but they looked delicious. Definitely headed back!!

Had some time to spare so I stopped In after dropping my daughter at softball practice. Had a great little convo with the person taking orders, they recommended the chicken wrap with salsa, a MUST try, very delicious and the perfect amount of spice. Also had the iced Chai Latte, got it with the black coffee option because I love the spiciness. They have the cutest courtyard to enjoy your morning in. Highly recommend.

Four stars, with the hopeful anticipation the coffee will be spectacular the next time. To explain:
I tried the Northwest House Blend for espresso...the beginning of the cup was quite mediocre, but the second half had a wonderful complexity, with all four coffee varieties making themselves present and a delightful balance between the acidity and sweetness. A whole cup of this would have been exquisite and memorable. (I am certain this is easily achievable, with some dialing in of the espresso). I bought half a pound of this blend in coffee beans for home (btw, very reasonably priced)
The staff was very polite and helpful and the location is very bicycle friendly. I hope to visit again!

They have a a very nice patio sitting underneath some trees. They also have indoor sitting. The baristas were very friendly and welcoming. They shared a bit of their knowledge of their city for us tourist. The coffee was very well blended and refreshing.

Their entry set up was a bit weird- sign said only one person at a time could be in the ordering area but the converted outside area was nice with heaters and benches----- strawberry latte was really good- they have a restroom in the back.

Cozy, spacious, and lots of personality. This place is a little gem, and the lavender latte was very good. The coffee is roasted on site, which flavors the experience. There’s a lot of heart that goes into roasting, and you can feel it infused into the space!

Love this spot. It's like the lighthouse of STL.

Everything was good and I would definitely come back if the time is right. I feel like this is the perfect spot for a winter snuggle fest with your pupper or partner.

The environment and coffee/smoothie was great! The only reason for the 3/5 stars is the way the Manager/supervisor spoke to the employees. Not at all like a leader. Female, 20's, thin, strawberry blonde curly hair. She was counting the drawer when we walked in and made a face to the other 2 for someone else to help us, but to wait til she was done counting. That's fine, I run a business too and we get it. She finished counting the drawer and made a comment "is no one gonna take their order?" 1. She was right there, why couldn't she? 2. Don't belittle your staff. 3. Did she tell them she was done? She was so off-putting I didn't even order anything. The gentlemen making our drinks and the woman behind him had great attitudes! Don't let this girl ruin your business.

Everything about this place is terrible and it isn't worth a visit. For a place with a giant wall mural of "Control the Narrative," they sure were quick to treat me as less than and talk down to me. That is, when they bothered to acknowledge me at all after standing at the counter for 10 minures without so much as a look. Everybody in this shop was rude and couldn't be bothered with me today. Once they got my money, they were even ruder. If this is how you "Control the Narrative," then I don't want anything to do with you. Next week's episode of the STL Coffee Tour is going to be short! Don't go here. They're not worth the wait. (Edited spelling)

Espresso was over-roasted and had an odd tepid flavor. (I drink a lot of dark roast espresso grinding 35 lb/yr for personal consumption.) I couldn't finish my drink. My wife said the coffee in the hotel room was better. On the plus side, my breakfast burrito and her waffle were first rate.
