If you're looking for a cozy and inviting spot to hang out with your buddies while sipping on a steaming cup of coffee, look no further. This place offers the perfect ambiance for unwinding, catching up on conversations, and creating memorable moments with friends. Whether you’re planning a casual meetup or a long-overdue reunion, the warm and welcoming atmosphere makes it an ideal choice.

The aroma of freshly brewed coffee fills the air, instantly lifting your spirits. From classic espresso-based drinks to rich, creamy lattes, every sip feels like a warm hug. Pair your favorite coffee with a slice of their must-try Gooey Butter Cake, a delightful treat that melts in your mouth with its soft, buttery goodness. We highly recommend Mom’s Original Flavor, which captures the essence of homemade comfort with its sweet, rich, and slightly caramelized crust. The cake’s irresistible texture and flavor perfectly complement the bold, aromatic coffee, making every bite a heavenly experience.

Whether you’re settling in for a long chat, diving into deep discussions, or simply enjoying the company of friends, this café offers a relaxing environment with cozy seating and a laid-back vibe. It’s the ultimate destination to relax, laugh, and indulge in delicious treats that keep you coming back for more.

This is a review of the smoothies at Park Avenue Coffee. The menu and the actual price of the smoothie is off. When I asked, apparently management didn’t print the menu correctly? Also, the ingredients to the smoothie are: peach juice, powdered vegetables, and powdered yogurt. There aren’t actual vegetables in the smoothie. Which made for a pretty bad tasting smoothie. The coffee looked great, I’d just recommend staying far away from the “smoothies”.
See the photo…smoothie after 20 minutes.

I come here when it’s convenient but to be honest I’m often a little disappointed. The staff is always super friendly. It’s just the drinks can be inconsistent. Maybe I’m
Just not the target market, but I wish there were more specialty drinks or just a clearer menu with all the options.

My last order was something like a sweet cream cold brew… and the drink was completely white. I didn’t watch them make it so I’m not sure if they were heavy handed with the dairy or what. I thought the price was a little steep too. I got the smaller of the two sizes and after the recommended tip it was almost $8.

All in all I feel like it lacks attention to detail. Would love to see them step it up.

Small but nice coffee shop in the amazing Lafayette Square neighborhood across from the park. Looks like they may have an outdoor back patio as well, but it was closed due to time of year (winter). Good coffee and fast friendly service. Since it is so small, it's not the type of place to spend a lot of time there.

Cute place with good gooey butter cake. Lots of Flavor to choose from. It was fresh! The place is very clean and lots of seating. I had to have gooey cake seeming I was in at Louis and it being the home of. So I looked up places and this one popped up as the best. I was excited and after driving 4 hrs with only 10min before closing we made it. The girl waiting on us was shy and quiet with short answers. Another girl came out and seemed rude an just bossy. I know 10min before closing really but there were other people inside and more coming in as we were leaving. So I don’t think that was the cause of the off customer service. If I had not just been passing through st Louis heading to Branson I would have waited for the next day to visit. But aside from the off customer service food was great and we will stop back by when we have more time an not so last min!

Chill date spot to do art stuff. Surprisingly easy on the ears, for a fresh batch coffee shop. Love love love.

This is a cute little coffee shop in a pretty neighborhood. Park Avenue Coffee has GREAT gooey butter cake. Their scone and coffee was just okay. Service was friendly and quick.

I am definitely a new fan! They had multiple sugar-free syrups, the employees were incredibly kind and knowledgeable, and I loved the atmosphere.

I had a very good sugar-free hazelnut latte. Successfully resisted the gooey butter cake, but I did let myself enjoy the smells!

Their WiFi was open and didn't require some secret password. Coffee was delicious, no bitterness whatsoever.
