Atmosphere was superb. Great place to go if you need to get some quiet work/studying in and want a place to sprawl out, connect, and focus. Would be a great place to come as a group too. I ordered a cold brew and it was very tasty. Well worth visiting!

Great craft coffee shop! They have more interesting drinks, and more advanced skill at pulling quality espresso, than your typical local cafe, and the seating was generous - I wish I could have stayed longer. The massive windows let in a lot of light, making it feel very open and spacious. Friendly staff too :-)

Pit stop on my road trip. Easy to find - parking is limited but right in front of the shop. I had an iced vanilla matcha - solid 8/10. It needed a bit more whisking, still had some clumps, but the flavor was good. Inside had a mix of seating - a few larger tables that could work for getting things done, and a couch area. Overall, a solid coffee shop.

What an amazing vibe here. Some perks… 1. Coffee is good. We had latte. Ask for sugar if you need. But it’s good even without sugar. 2. The vibe and atmosphere is really good. They can accommodate like around 30 people considering they have few outside tables too. 3. They have bakery items too. 4. Both BluePrint coffee and High Low in same building like combined.

Blueprint beans so you know the flavor will be there. This location is so bright and airy. Usually 5-10min wait of you are there before 9am. The Cold brew is solid but it's the lattes that shine. Blueprint beans tend to make the best lattes in St Louis, whether it's at a Blueprint location or a café that uses their beans. Its up to a good Barista to deliver the final product and the HiLo is pretty good in that regard.

I came here from out of town. I’ve received this coffee through my Trade Coffee subscription. I was helped by Ryan. I asked for a pour over and Ryan made an excellent suggestion and delivered an amazing coffee. I furtively enjoyed the experience. The coffee was great the art room was awesome and the environment was top notch! I highly recommend this coffee shop!

Limited selection of food, but what they have is very good -- had an egg and sausage biscuit that was basically egg casserole on a full size biscuit, tasted very good and was filling. Space has an art bookstore vibe, very nice. My cappuccino tasted great. Can highly recommend, we dropped by because we were staying in the Angad Art Hotel a few blocks away.
