Maypop in Webster Groves is the definition of a hidden gem. It's part coffee shop, part plant haven, and part neighborhood hangout--and it nails the vibe on all fronts.
The patio is gorgeous with sunny yellow chairs, greenery everywhere, and string lights that make it feel like you've stepped into a rom-com. Inside, you'll find shelves of teas, pottery, and local goods, plus the cutest wall of Polaroids of everyone's pets (love this touch). They even have a quiet zone Hearth Room for those days when you want to sip in peace or get some work done without distractions.
I grabbed a latte and it was perfection--smooth, creamy, and topped with beautiful latte art. They make their own syrups (honey lavender, cardamom, seasonal flavors), which takes everything up a notch. I popped in for coffee this time, but I'm already planning to come back for brunch and cocktails. Between the plants, the patio, the food, the drinks, and the overall vibe...this place is basically everything I need.
Webster Groves - worth the trip if you're looking for a beautiful spot to relax, catch up, or just treat yourself.
