    Such an awesome find! It was a great breakfast stop on our way to the City Museum, and the service was so kind and welcoming. She gave us ice cream tasters with our breakfast, and it was so good that we wanted to come back! We ate dinner a few blocks away and thought we were too late to get ice cream, but we called the cafe and they kindly stayed open a few minutes past closing for us. It’s a really special spot in St. Louis!

    We came in from California for coffee and food and got that PLUS handmade ice cream! The owner gave us a bunch of different samples and you can taste the difference in quality compared to ice cream with preservatives. Highly recommend the cheesecake ice cream, strawberry, and affogato! I had the Pumpkin Spice Latte and my boyfriend had the Maple Spice Latte. Both are really good and flavorful. They also offer vegan options, which I love. The owner let us try a sherbert flavored vegan ice cream with real fruits. The regular ice cream also uses real fruit. If you're in St. Louis near the Arch, come by for a coffee and some treats. The owner will definitely take care of you!!

    I was only in the area dropping off a delivery, which happened to be in the same building. The customer suggested this place after I inquired about a restroom, so he gave me directions and I assumed I had to be a customer in order to use it🤦🏽‍♀️(I just made a wrong turn🤣). Honestly, I'm glad I did because as soon as I walked in, the cashier greeted me loudly and with the most pleasant smile!!! I skim the menu and went with the 16oz Java Chip Frappe which came out to a lil under $8. I ran to the bathroom and my order was ready by the time I came back-still that beautiful smile & thanking me for stopping in...now my frappe was AMAZING! I can taste the fine Java Chip pieces with every sip and I definitely wanna try the hot food next time

    Hands down, our best coffee experience! We stopped by TWICE in the same day, and every drink was just right. The owner was so cheerful and insisted that we try our drinks before leaving the counter to ensure that we loved it before walking away. The ice cream is heavenly, and the coffee drinks smooth and perfectly flavorful without being syrup- thick. There was a crowd but we barely seemed to wait before our drink was ready. Faster service than Starbucks, and better prices and quality, in my opinion! Thank you, it was a highlight of our trip!

    I feel as though I did not get the same experience all the reviews are raving about. When we first entered the coffee shop the vibe was immediately off - the vibe was awkward and sterile. My husband was the first to initiate a greeting and said good morning, to which the employee didn’t even respond and then just looked at us and waited for us to place an order. My husband said his coffee was decent however my hot latte came with about an inch of foam on the top and the breakfast croissant was the saddest, least flavorful sandwich and the sausage looked dry and crusty. Between the service and products, I was quite disappointed and immediately found a different coffee shop to go to. The one positive I found in this shop is its location, as we had originally planned to walk with our coffees to the arch.

    Great little spot for coffee and specialty ice cream in downtown St. Louis. Stopped in to wait for an appointment and get some work done with a colleague. Grabbed a coffee and the owner immediately handed me a sample of their made-in-house ice cream. It was 10:30 in the morning but, why not? So glad I did! You wouldn't think that strawberry chocolate habenero would work, but it was awesome! Fruity sweet on the front end and a spicy zing on the back. Check 'em out!

    This place is AMAZING! The owners/servers are super friendly and their products are so good I wish I lived closer! We got their swamped chocolate ice cream, matcha strawberry bubble tea, caramel Frapp, turtle brownie (not pictured because we ate it too fast), and hot mocha and they were all so good. Fast service too.

    Clean and amazing staff! This small cafe is great for a quick stop and the service was spectacular. I’m not from St. Louis, but thought I’d stop by on my way for tea. Tea was $3.07.

    Cute little spot for coffee, hot chocolate, boba tea, ice cream, pastries, bagels, and more! We got a cherry danish, everything bagel with cream cheese, and a hot chocolate. It was all delicious, and the folks working there were sweet as can be. They even let us try the mango jalapeño chocolate chip ice cream when we commented on how good it sounded. Definitely worth a visit!

    I knew once I walked in I would love it here! We were greeted with such love and great vibes. Ms.Sunny served with great quality smoothies, frappes, and hot &warm desserts. The quality of their food is top tier and is the best in St Louis. Cafe de Blaire is my kind of spot!!!🫶🏾🫶🏾

    Amazing customer service. Great tasting coffee! And can we also add they are super dog friendly! We were on our way to Kansas and spent 48 hrs in St. Louis. We love giving business to local coffee shops so we came here. We went with our Golden Retriever who was spoiled rotten with a special pup cup and pup ice cream! There energy and kindness to everyone who went in was just amazing.

    Great service when I was here on vacation. One day, I got a cold brew. The next day, I got bubble tea. It was the blended taro with coconut milk- Yum! Super friendly and efficient staff. One thing I'll note, it's their coffee isn't as sweet as other places but still fantastic!

    Absolutely wonderful! They have delicious coffee (one of the owners recommended an eggnog latte and it hit the spot) and some classic and new pastries! The picture attached is of a taro cookie and I could not get enough. And the ice cream is homemade, and delicious as well! Focus is on flavor instead of sweetness and it makes them all the flavors pop.

    What a great little coffee & ice cream shop, minutes from the Arch. Ask for a hot dirty chia tea! Absolutely delicious...the best I've ever had! The Turkey Sausage, egg white & cheese croissant was delicious as well!

    Amazing cold brew coffee and ice cream! The owners were so welcoming and let us sample several things. If we lived here we’d come every day!

    Loved our seasonal drinks: Blackberry Vanilla Coconut Latte and a Blackberry Matcha Latte. Also loved the açaí bowl and the almond croissant. They were super friendly and gave us a sample of their homemade ice cream, the S'mores flavor, and it was amazing. Would come back for ice cream on our next St. Louis visit.

    If you want a cozy friendly Cafe to enjoy delicious and made-with-care food, Cafe de Blaire is the place to go. We visited every day that we were in town and it was a highlight of our trip. The owner is kind and has wonderful recommendations. The ice cream is made in-house and the coffee is so balanced and lovely no matter what you get. Thank you for being such a great part of St. Louis!

    With owner, Sunny, behind the counter, the friendly atmosphere is the first thing you encounter before being impressed by the extensive coffee, boba, tea, and ice cream menu. There's a small food menu and a delicious pastries selection as well. A must stop if you're walking though the area!! Right off Washington, it's an excellent downtown location!

    We try not to drink coffee at big stores instead we try to find small gems and this was one! We got a maple spice latte and a matcha latte. Both were incredible and absolute perfection. Combine that with the awesome service, it’s a match made in heaven. Skip the Starbucks and protect the small business!! You won’t regret this choice!

    Great coffee AND ice cream! Came for a quick visit, wish we could try the food too. However, the barista was very generous and helpful, and our drinks were spot on. 10/10 wpuld recommend for a quick bite, a caffeine refuel, or something sweet.

    I highly recommend this place. Everybody I. this place was enjoyable (including customers). I wasn't sure what to get, so I ordered a caramel/cinnamon cappuccino. My husband ordered a mocha cappuccino, and my daughter ordered lavendar Chai. Let me tell you, it was so good. They even made sure we liked everything. We finished it, and all 3 of us wished we had ordered a larger size. Thank you for your recommendations, and thank you for being patient with us. O-H-I-O

    Cafe de Blaire is a hidden gem in downtown St. Louis. My husband and I ordered caramel machiatto and found this to be finely balanced medium to strong coffee. The kids ordered the handmade ice cream in waffle cones. The ice cream is super creamy and delicious. Kids (and adults) loved it. The staff is fast and friendly. Prices were reasonable and budget friendly. Definitely recommended!

    Stopped by for breakfast on our way out of town and this place made our day! They gave our dog the most adorable pup cup and offered us free samples of their AMAZING homemade ice cream. Everyone was so welcoming and friendly. Also, fantastic lattes! Highly recommend stopping by.

    The coffee was amazing! I loved this little shop and the owner was super helpful and nice. All the syrups are gluten free so I was happy to have a fantastic iced coffee. Way better flavor than any chain coffee I’ve ever had!

  • 5/5 Andrea A. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is great! They are so kind and appreciative. They took the time to talk to us and take an interest in what we were doing while visiting the city. The breakfast sandwiches were perfect. Ice cream was amazing and coffee and brownie were good too. We’ll definitely come back when we visit again.

  • 5/5 Alisha P. 11 months ago on Google
    Went on a late Monday morning. AMAZING cold brew!!!!! I had mine with oat milk & vanilla. I love that it’s located right next to the arch and the park so I grabbed my coffee to go and enjoyed it in the park. Inside does have limited space and cleaning but very clean & staff are fast & efficient. Will definitely be back

    Sunny and Jeran treated us like family. My friend had the Strawberry Hananero ice cream. It was AMAZING! My strawberry ice cream was homemade, and had huge pieces of strawberry in it. I will definitely come back often and tell all my friends. Precious little place.

    Great little place! We stopped for breakfast there, twice. Great coffee, inexpensive but nice breakfast sandwiches. They also had Danishes, muffins, etc. The owner gave us samples of their store-made ice cream, which was amazing! Would definitely go back if we're even in St. Louis again.
