AO&Co. Market & Cafe

While staying in the area I found AO&Co for some morning coffee.

Overall I do like the location, it’s a nice looking place.

Great feel and atmosphere but..

I honestly wasn’t a fan of the coffee, it lacked a lot of the aromatic desires I look for in a solid cup.

As for craft options the wife was not impressed by her vanilla latte either, she also stated the flavor was off and something didn’t seem right.

We’re no coffee snobs by any means, but I’ve had a better shot of espresso from Starbucks and that’s not saying a lot.

For food I will say the display case looked good, but we were headed to brunch that day and didn’t try anything else.

nice little market and coffee shop. they have the Victoria arduino lever espresso machines here. market has nice mix and selection of goods from all over from Mala chili oils to cheese to whiskey to wine and cigars

outdoor seating is nice as well

staff are friendly and nice and helpful and there is parking. there are also mini shops in the same lot

Good coffee at the coffee shop. They have some cute unique item available in the store as well as a small food market. They also have a decent sized cigar and wine room with fine and expensive options.

The staff are so kind and knowledgeable about everything they sell. Super personable and amazing people! And amazing drinks to boot!

Nice little specialty store that is part coffee and tea store with an outdoor patio with seating and a small seating area indoors. This is one part of the store. Then you enter the cigar and wine room which is laid out nicely and had a nice wine selection. I can't really comment on the cigars since I don't smoke! The last part of the store has dinner cute home furnishings, and provisions such as salumi, cheese, and other beverages such as kombucha, etc. Parking is on street and they have some other great food neighbors so worth a visit!

This is my favorite cafe in St.Louis. it has a Spanish vibe. You can get the best Jamón Ibérico here from acorn fed black swine. This is top grade. They also sell wines, cheeses and all kinds of things, but their sandwiches and coffee are what I go there for. They have a COVID safe outdoor area for a family to sit outside, protected from the weather with transparent plastic that is SO cool. I can't praise this enough.

This place sells quick and simple sandwiches and decent coffee and has a very nice yard to sit in. However the store is very overpriced. I wanted to support a neighbor store but every time we look at the price tags we feel like being treated as idiots - most items they sell can be found in other places (Whole Foods, Amazon etc.) at cheaper prices. I guess for high earning people it is acceptable but I personally don’t want to shop here.

Definitely one of the fanciest coffee shops I've been to. (A whole room devoted to booze and cigars?) The market portion is a perfect place to stop before going to the park to set up a cheese board of some kind. The breakfast sandwiches were delicious. But the espresso was treated a bit aggressively.

The sandwiches are fantastic, you can find some eclectic high-end items in the market, however the drinks are not good. if you're paying $6 for a coffee, it should be exceptional.

Good coffee, The store is overpriced and no customer service. Employees keep talking to each other and ignore customers. Poor customer service.
