Friendly and highly knowledgeable staff, offering in-depth tasting notes and explanations of the different beans/roasts. welcoming, laid back ambience with a plethora of seating options. The highlight for us were the pastries though, as Lindsey is a phenomenally talented baker who is quite modest to boot! The blueberry lavender and rosemary goat cheese scones are easily among the best we've ever tried. The flavors are rich, natural tasting, yet also proportioned in harmonious balance. A must stop anytime we're in STL from now on.
We really love High Low. It’s an excellent place to get some work done, while enjoying a fresh pour over and a scone. The atmosphere is bright and relaxed, which makes it perfect to read or work if you’re needing to get out of the house. Parking is usually great, and I often can get a spot right by the entrance. The art gallery in the back is a really unique part of High Low’s experience. It’s part of to Kransberg Arts Foundation and it’s a free exhibit hall with rotating work from local artists. It makes for a really cool place to visit or to make part of your weekly routine.
Coffee is so good and the pastries are unique and delicious! Bookish vibes and friendly atmosphere!
If you want coffee AND an experience, come to High Low. It has one of the calmest, serene decors of all coffee houses in STL. Its theme centers around literature, full of bookshelves and comfy couches to read. It’s not overly loud of a setting, so if you want to do work without headphone, this is the place. Because of its design, I believe it attracts an artsier crowd who wants to read or discuss. I regularly have business meetings here unrelated to art and literature because I know I’m not surrounded by pretentious finance bros or fraternity brothers. The coffee is pretty standard, but I can’t say much on it because my order is always bland: Hot, black coffee. Highly recommend making this a coffee staple of yours, you’ll always leave feeling better than when you walked in.
High Low was recommended by our Airbnb host as it was within walking distance of our place and had quality coffee! Can confirm, we had kind service and lovely espresso. I had chose the cortado with oat milk and house-made vanilla syrup ✨ Seating was at a premium on a Wednesday at 11am, many remote workers/students, but also pairs of people chatting, but a few spots opened up while we sat. I tried to check ahead of time if food was served, and assumed it would just be a small pastry case,so we were pleasantly surprised to see a small food menu + pastries. Recommend!
Coffee was absolutely disgusting. Very acidic, tastes like vinegar. Aesthetic was calm & peaceful though.
Cool spot for a coffee or bite to eat. They have a nice selection of specialty roasts and the house made orange cardamom flavor was on point. They have a nice selection of sweet treats too. There are plenty of desks if you need space to work. The staff was very nice and even brought me my drink after I went to sit down.
I absolutely love blueprint coffee and this setting makes it even better! The employees at the high low blueprint are the coolest ever! I work in the building so I see them all the time and they’re always so friendly and accommodating and knowledgeable. I’ve been to many blueprints and I think this is the best one, the vibes are great and the coffee is immaculate!!!
LOVE their biscuits and coffee! Service is getting better and better too!
Super cool building and good coffee. The menu is a bit confusing (wish they described the brewing process of each option). Their banana bread and citrus corn bread was actually very good. The service was on the slower side.
TLDR: Delish coffee brewed well, don’t plan to sit in the front window on a sunny winter day. Of course, they coffee is amazing. It was a very well brewed cup. I had the choice of batch brewed or pour over, I chose the Ethiopian fresh pour over option and it was great. It came in a glass beaker and small cup so I could pour what I wanted and keep the rest hot, which it did very well. My wife got a cappuccino and it was truly delicious. The only problem was that we sat in the front window and on this cold sunny day, it got downright hot sitting there. The other tables were full, but even they were getting a lot of sun this time of year. If I had planned my seating better, it would have been an amazing place to hang for a while. Of course, the LaMarzocco machine is agorgeous blue.
Bitter, flavorless overpriced coffee in a hipster spot. Might as well have used the Kuerig machine in my hotel room.
Best coffee I’ve found in St. Louis. Knowledgable and friendly staff, and relaxed, welcoming environment. What a gem!
Great customer service and excellent coffee! I absolutely love the atmosphere too! Nice sunlight with large windows and plenty of space to sit and enjoy.
Some of the best coffee you’ll find in the city, and the most amazing atmosphere to work from - most ppl come here to read, write, work, or study so there’s a cool library vibe. The staff are always so nice and remember my order. Can get busy during college session.
Stopped in for a couple of dirty chai lattes. L, the batista was very nice and the drinks were perfect.
Great experience! Went in for some beans and was helped by a very friendly and knowledgeable barista. Also had a lemon scone which was marvelous.
Unfortunately, I can’t give 0 stars... The staff was very rude! I am visiting family in STL and I attempted to work from this cafe for the day... complete failure! Instead, I felt very uncomfortable from the moment I entered. I was stared down by the workers. Though awkward, I decided to try this place, plus I needed to get work done. I walked to the counter to place my order and was met with a very nasty attitude from the tall blonde guy. He had asked me for my vaccination card. I was baffled by the poor attitude he was giving... also, 1. no one else was asked, I was the ONLY one asked... 2. The cashier assumed I didn’t have a card nor a negative test so he cancelled my order then rudely said, “bye”. The attitudes were completely unnecessary and piss poor. Needless to say, I decided to leave and not spend my money with them. You all need better customer service, and maybe a training on biases. Especially seeing as you are working in a neighborhood with very mixed class of people.
Ugh the rudest, meanest, most toxic staff I have ever encountered at a coffee shop. Verbally abusive and insulting my body in front of a several customers
I practically live here during my breaks. The staff are the friendliest I've encountered in STL, the quality of my coffee has never missed, and the ambiance is sunny & comfortable.
