Blueprint Coffee - Delmar

We had a great time at Blueprint Coffee in St. Louis! The place has a really nice setup with a good vibe and just the right amount of noise. The service was excellent — Julia Luster helped us and she was super kind and friendly. The coffee was delicious, and the rosemary goat cheese scones were amazing — so flavorful and fresh! It’s close to our hotel and in a great location. We really enjoyed our visit :)

Caffeine is chemistry I guess or at least Blueprint Coffee thinks so. Listen, if my coffee arrives in an Erlenmeyer flask, I already know I’m in the right place. Blueprint Coffee isn’t just serving up a drink; they’re conducting a full-on science experiment with every pour. And honestly, I’m here for it. The place was packed because of course it was. Good coffee attracts a crowd, and St. Louis just so happens to have one of the best coffee shop scenes out there. A carefully measured and extracted moment of joy in a flask. Consider me converted.

Egg biscuit was amazing!! I got the Abuela latte and it was very good, but the espresso didn’t come through. Maybe I’m just not used to super smooth coffee though. Beautiful latte art aswell!

I’ve heard of this coffee shop before, but this was my first experience and I loved it! I got a Vanilla Bean latte with Oatmilk it was fantastic. The espresso was very good, not too bitter. My friend got a pour over and it came in a cute beaker style container. The staff was very friendly, and the atmosphere was very relaxed, just what I want in a coffee shop. Unfortunately it’s not very close to me, but I will definitely be going again when I am in the area.

Great place! My girlfriend got an iced gooey butter cake latte and I got a regular hot latte. We both enjoyed our drinks! We also got the gg sandwich which was unique but good, and their chocolate chip cookie which was amazing!

They obviously care. They had 6-7 different beans they would pour over - awesome. I got their newest, the Gamatui. It has a strong fruity smell and the taste was a strong fruity flavor. After a few drinks it’s subtled a. It and is good. Their pastries look very good. Update - took their pour over class with Valerie and Ashley and 7 other people. What an amazing experience! I can’t speak highly enough for these two giving the class. They were patient, super nerdy about the details of coffee. I felt like I was with my people. The attendees in my sub-group of 4 were also fun and super into it. There were 8 people and after a high level discussion of terms and basics of brewing they split us into two groups of 4 and then each of them showed us two different methods, pulse and continuous pours. They would demo it and then each of us would do a pour. Of course we each had to try each others’ pours. All were great, with small variations in taste. I felt like I made at least 5 new friends!

Walking into Blueprint Coffee felt like stepping into a cool New York apartment—industrial chic with a touch of comfort. The exposed concrete counters and white subway tiles added character, but the standout was a thick wooden slab designed for standing and sipping, a subtle nudge to slow down and enjoy the craft. Now, the real reason for the visit: the coffee and food. I’m deep into my matcha era, and their iced matcha latte did not disappoint. Smooth, balanced, and with the perfect sweetness—just how I like it. The biscuit sandwich? Bomb. Flaky layers that crumbled just right, paired with a savory frittata that made it a perfect match for my drink. A whole vibe from first sip to last bite.

It’s cozy and studying friendly. My twin loved the banana bread she tells me about every other day haha. I should bring her with me sometime soon :) the staff are always welcoming and prices are good

So I walked in at 3:30 on a saturday and this place is jumping?? I suppose caffeine knows no time cutoff, lol. The interior has an interesting design. A few big islands for studying and high tops for groups. It is all very open, at the counter I almost did not know where to order lol. The worker was great. Friendly, quick, happy! Coffee was solid, too. A latte with ample ice is a good latte, regardless of flavor. Don't worry, had plenty of flavor, too! Super solid coffee shop. I assume it may be tough to study here as it is on the loop so it probably gets loud and sees tons of traffic. It will certainly be a mainstay for me any time I hit the Loop!

Great customer service! However, my egg biscuit was cold in the inside. Additionally, the matcha didn't taste like fresh matcha should taste. The biscuit on the sandwich was delicious and warm, flaky and yummy.

Blueprint is my favorite coffee shop! My current obsession: Cherry Cola Espressoda. They also have the best chocolate chip cookies! The staff is super welcoming and there is a lot of space to work but it does get noisy

Stopped by this cafe on our morning walk. Loved that they have outdoor seating in the back. Ordered two almond milk cappuccinos. Super clean space and awesome baristas. No complaints, just good coffee!

The service is great! The baristas work hard to bring the best coffee. The food is all made in store, and the coffee is roasted so often that always makes the coffee taste and feel fresh! Even for a busy Saturday, the wait is worth it. I got a matcha latte and I have also ordered a biscuit which was yummy!

The overnight oats are fantastic, and all of the drinks are high quality! I felt the price point was a little high for the drinks but in this economy they're hardly an outlier. Lots of workspace and seating, with lots of natural light! The service was great, if you're staying they'll bring your order straight to your table. Chairs are a little uncomfy but they all have back support, even the bar stools! WiFi available, street parking required. I do not believe they charge for alternative milks

The vibe is pretty dull, unfortunately. Cold and stale feeling. Seating is a bit awkward and uncomfortable. The back area looked unfinished and a door was open so it was cold (37 degrees outside) I love coffee shops that are inviting and make you want to stay and drink and eat all day. This is not that place. There were a few tiny food items under a glass cover that looked stale and lackluster. We were hungry, but passed on the food. Now, to the coffee. We are not coffee snobs, but the coffee was really good. I had a cappuccino and it was smooth. A little overpriced for what was offered. All in all, it was the closest coffee place to our hotel within walking distance and I would come again but just get it to go. The staff was friendly, no issues there.

Amazing vibes and drinks! The staff was so nice and quick! We will definitely be back!

One of my high school classmates owns and operates Blueprint Coffee so I feel I will always support. The coffee is great, the staff is wonderful and the customers are one of a kind. A kind gentleman who ordered many bags of coffee from there gave myself and my friend his free coffee coupons. That was really nice of him! #PayItForward

Review Visit: July 30th, 2018 Is Blueprint Coffee a good blue print for coffee? Sadly, no. In 2017, I was in St. Louis for a Coheed and Cambria concert and discovered Blueprint Coffee. Unfortunately, they closed 5 minutes before I got there. So, I made a mental note to visit it the next time I was in town. Fast forward to 2018 and I am in town again to see a Cardinals game with my mom. We only had a few minutes to grab some coffee before the game, so we were in and out super quick. So... why isn't Blueprint a blue print for coffee shops? The interior was pretty plain. Not that that is bad. It's just very plain with no décor. We don't visit coffeehouses for the décor or paint colors. We visit them for coffee. How was the coffee? It was interesting. I ordered a Tekton v12, which according to the menu was a 'Colombia/Guatemala' filtered coffee. It had a hint of chestnut, I think. It was alright. Not something I would order again but not bad enough to not finish. The whole menu, which was on an awkward clipboard, is weird. It was kind of hard to decipher and figure out how to order a plain black coffee. I'd definitely recommend them having a bit more cohesive and a better laid out menu. They also offered teas and food but since we were in a rush, I didn't get a chance to see what they offered. Last but not least... the customer service. The barista must have been having a bad day or something because he showed no enthusiasm when I placed my order and when he handed it to me. That whole mood of 'you aren't welcome here' was actually felt throughout the entire place. Now maybe it was because I was on a time restraint, but I definitely was happy to leave the place. Now with the disclaimer. Just because I had a 'less-than-stellar' experience here doesn't mean you should avoid it. The online reviews are great and the place was packed when I was there. They opened a 2nd location, so business must be going great. Go there, try it yourself and form your own opinion.

A step up from Starbucks, but nothing extraordinary. Decent coffee spot if you're in the area and need a cup. While it won't blow you away, it'll satisfy your caffeine craving better than the big chains.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Food: 5 Stars Service: 5 Stars I'm not quite the coffee connoisseur, but I can appreciate the intentions being made at Blueprint Coffee. The beans they source from places like Ethiopia and El Salvador are luscious and well-rounded. The brews definitely lack the heavy bitterness you often taste with commercial roasts. Their breakfast menu is delightful with handmade biscuits and sandwiches.

Awesome atmosphere with various seating options. The staff was friendly and helpful as this was my 1st visit. The biscuit and jam was delicious and the salted caramel cappuccino was amazing! I will definitely return (maybe tomorrow morning!).

I'm not a coffee drinker so I admittedly can't speak to their coffee which is undoubtedly what they're known for, but I did have the breakfast and found it to be good. The biscuit was very tasty, not as heavy/dense as I might've otherwise feared and the egg was well cooked. I just wish they'd added more of that tomato chutney spread on the bottom - it was good but hardly present and really would've made the sandwich that extra level better. The venue was nice and service was quick; would be happy to return.

Super cute place to go, comfy seating and friendly staff. Seems like they make a lot of stuff in house. I really enjoyed my matcha! Will def be returning

I've heard of this coffee shop before, but this was my first experience and I loved it! I got a Vanilla Bean latte with Oatmilk it was fantastic. The espresso was very good, not too bitter. My friend got a pour over and it came in a cute beaker style container. The staff was very friendly, and the atmosphere was very relaxed, just what I want in a coffee shop. Unfortunately it's not very close to me, but I will definitely be going again when I am in the area.

Coffee is soooo overpriced here. Cool coffee shop where coffee is good not great. Friendly enough staff. Pricing will keep me from returning

In Saint Louis for the Matisyahu show and hoping to find all our coffee and Matcha needs. In the morning the pour over was one of the best I've had and the iced Matcha in the afternoon was awesome too. Thanks, Allie. Sigh

I was excited to try Blueprint Coffee conviently located in the University City loop. Since it is on Delmar Blvd, parking was hard to find. When I walked in, I saw many employees working hard to perfect their coffee. There were some tasting different beans, and some packaging beans which gave a wearhouse vibe. I landed on the lavender latte with oatmilk which I enjoyed. It wasn't overly sweet at all, but I prefer a latte that still has the taste of espresso, which was a bit lost for me. It would have been perfection with a tad less milk. There were a few tables inside but not many. It was overall a good experience.

Whenever I visit a city, I love to research local roasters and try to bring home a piece of the city, and blueprint coffee is one of the most popular recommendations from my research. The shop offers a variety of recently roasted coffee as well as various brewing supplies. There aren't a huge amount of sitting space but still has a good amount of people working on their tasks.

Got a cappuccino and a slice of chocolate chip banana bread. The cappuccino was pretty good. No extra flavoring and straight whole milk. It was creamier than most and had a distinct roasted flavor... But it wasn't so good that it blew my socks off. Maybe if I got it for there and sipped on it there out of a real mug. The banana bread was quite tasty. Not dry at all.

Great local coffee roaster with coffee bean subscription options and free local delivery! My husband and I have two subscriptions set up with Blueprint - one for whole beans for drip and one for whole beans for espresso. They also have a variety of grind options if you don't have your own grinder. They send bags of their choosing which is great for discovering your taste or you can specify preferences. They offer free local delivery so a member of their team drops our coffee off at our doorstep and texts us when it arrives which is extremely convenient! Their deliveries also come in recyclable packaging which is a plus and includes an information card about the coffee and brewing recommendations. Their customer service through email is also impeccable! Overall, highly recommend getting a coffee subscription from here if you're local and love coffee. They have top notch customer service, always deliver freshly roasted beans, and the subscription service is very customizable and seamless.

5 stars. The place is very industrial, and has a distillery vibe, which is not my favorite but I think they did it nicely. The best part was the service. I came in, got a Gooey Butter Latte, and took a seat. The first drink they brought me ended up being an unflavored latte - which, normally I would despise, but was actually really good - and when I asked them to add a few pumps of syrup, they went back and remade my whole drink with no fuss. Very nice and personable, and made my experience great. And, like I said, the coffee was excellent! I could even drink an unflavored latte as someone who usually hates the bitterness of coffee. Give this place a try if you're on the loop!

Fresh ready to order delicious coffee of the non chain variety on the Loop. Every time I have had a coffee here it has been made exactly like I asked. Good place to chill and sip your coffee while you are shopping on the Loop.

Coffee was very delicious here. Latte was perfect balance and smooth. Has limited indoor and outdoor seating but great for a quick pick up.

As a middle Eastern a good coffee is always a struggle Blueprint surprised me ! Great staff amazing coffee awesome vibes Definitely a spot to come back to

Came with a friend who wanted their coffee because there are no other places in the area. We walked to the counter and the two people working were busy. We waited a few minutes and then realized the screen was turned our way so we thought it was self service. When she started to tap it to order the guy got quite snippy and told us to wait. She got a cold brew, iced tea and I asked for a biscuit with peach jam. The same guy came to bring us a biscuit and said he'd be right back with the drinks, 10 minutes later she still didn't get the drinks and when she asked they looked at us confused. He had to go back to see what was ordered and quickly made it. She said it was very bitter. The spot is really cute and the biscuit was great but the service was not.

My wife and I hail from Chicago where we are lost certainly spoiled with great coffee options. That's why we always looks for good places when we travel! This place delivered a solid flavor from their pulls. My wife opted for a dirty chai and I got their drink of the month: lavender and cardamom. Both were solid, not special. We'd certainly come back if we're in town again and enjoyed the atmosphere despite the lack of seating options.

Blueprint is a Delmar Loop top 3 list - especially when seeking your caffeine fix! My go to her is a cortado but I rotate around between drinks and love the more espresso rich drinks here. A big fan of their espresso beans; perfect amount of bitter! Always greeted & served with kindness - loved near here for a bit a grew a great relationship with the baristas. Never been somewhere everywhere is equal passionate about their brews!! On the smaller side - personally not my favorite place to work but people do bring laptops!!

Friendly service and delicious coffee and scone. It's a shame it's so small but fellow customers are friendly and happy to share a table if asked.

Being going here for years. One of the very best coffee spots in STL. Coffee always hits the spot. And the egg/biscuit breakfast sandwiches are next level! Really nice they offer a free drink when buying a bag of beans! Blueprint is top-notch. Great people, coffee, and food.

I ordered take out. Fast, friendly and delicious! Next time I'm in town I'd forsure come back! The space was super cute too!

**Fantastic coffee alert** This Denver dude was in desperate need of a caffeine jolt while in STL. I had planned to walk around The Loop, as it's considered one of the finest streets in America. But first, coffee. This place is cool. However, not pretentious! That Midwest hospitality was showing its true, bright colors. It was a lot warmer during the day than I originally anticipated, so I felt like an iced beverage was the way to go. Lo and behold, their cold brew is phenomenal. After a filling and hearty meal at Pappy's, this coffee resurrected me from the depths of a BBQ-filled coma. It just had so much flavor to it, unlike a lot of coffees out there. That's the difference between a place that roasts their own beans. Lord have mercy! Keep in mind that it's a small shop, so for the remote workers this might not be the most productive environment for you. But for me, the innocent traveler, it was sheer bliss. Dare I say, they're the "blueprint" when it comes to coffee? Dad jokes aside, I'm still thinking about this coffee!

Randomly found this place while visiting. Walked in and a very friendly barista gave me a list of recommendations. Tried the seasonal special over ice because she said it's sweet. Absolutely loved it the aroma of the coffee & it was so refreshing. Would come back to try something else. The coffee shop is super cute with small tables and work counters. They sell a bunch of coffee related merchandise. A really good spot to get work done (WiFi is available)

Went back for a third time. Biscuits were perfect. Also their cardamum latte was amazing. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable of their coffees. Its a cozy coffee shop if you can find a seat.

What a great coffee shop! I had an iced almond milk latte and the only thing that I wish they offered is a sugar free syrup to add to it. The service was great and I purchased some beans to grind at home and enjoy.

Coffee is good. Wish they had more room for people to sit inside though.

A comfortable coffee spot for relaxing, study, or work. Mostly a coffee roaster-seller but has a few breakfast sandwiches and pastries. Our small hot mochas, at $5 each, were heavy on cocoa powder, giving the drinks a dusty aftertaste. Street parking immediately around Blueprint can be challenging.

What a cool coffee place! Stopped by here to get coffee with a friend. I was taken away by the roastery within the store with a whole packaging department. They also have their own beans for sale in store. If you buy a bag, you also get a free drink, which I thought was so thoughtful. I got the Gamatui Community coffee, as recommended by the barista. The fruity notes were definitely there! Also got the vegan banana bread, and it was to die for. Definitely a checklist coffee place for sure.

Great coffee and atmosphere, friendly staff and efficient can use some more seating for others to stay longer

Took my friend who loves coffee here and he liked it. He bought some coffee to take back home with him. I liked the coffee too, also tried the bubbly Italian Espressoda coffee they had. It was...interesting weird and I liked it! Iy is different, but I'd give it a shit at least once! Def would recommend a cup of coffee here to start your day!

Received a bag of coffee from Blue Print through Trade Coffee and it was the worst coffee I'd ever been sent. I would not recommend buying their coffee as I highly suspect that they cut their supposedly craft level coffee with cheap blends. Avoid this brand at all costs if you want to enjoy your coffee

Cute little coffee shop in the Loop. It's hard to park nearby and all the parking close is paid meter parking. They had lots of choices and many baristas wore masks for safety, which I appreciated. Everyone was super kind! I ordered a rosemary latte that was very nice. Other customers seemed to be enjoying their food and coffee in the shop as well.

The BEST coffee in all of stl! There are two locations in St. Louis, but I have only ever been to the Delmar Loop location. Their beans are also brewed at a few cafes around town (one being Half & Half, one of my favorites as well). Service is always fast and coffee is ALWAYS fresh. They select unique coffee from around the world and meticulously roast and brew it. My two favorite blends are Penrose and Nariño Select. I highly recommend this coffee to any person seeking out high quality beans!!

Today wasn't the first day I'd visited Blueprint - I've come many times before - but it was definitely the day they impressed the hell out of me! My partner and I came in planning on doing their weekly cupping (Mondays at 12pm) but decided to get breakfast first. I was not convinced their breakfast was going to be amazing because I'm not used to coffee shops impressing me with their food but OMG it was! We ordered the eggs florentine and egg biscuit to share. Every ingredient was cooked and made to perfection. The eggs florentine had a beautifully over medium poached egg that was still warm from being freshly made on top of a buttery biscuit, yummy greens and roasted tomatoes, topped with hollandaise sauce. The egg biscuit included an over easy egg, tomato jam, and cheese. I lovelovelove when places add homemade jams to items and this one didn't disappoint! It was a savory jam that totally made the dish 10x tastier. The fact that a shop that focuses mostly on coffee (duh) does such a great breakfast really tells you how great this place is becuase the coffee is top of line. We also ordered a Colombia pour over to share before the cupping and it was a very balanced, well-roasted cup. On to the cupping- what an awesome time! I was a bit nervous about how approachable and comfortable the experience would be and I was completely confortable. It is an extremely authentic cupping. You are provided an sheet to note what you smell and taste and guided by an employee complete with a how-to on how to properly to the cupping. We tried six different coffees and it's such a great way to learn what you like and learn more about different types of coffees. Overall, wonderful business. You can tell the employees are passionate about coffee and quality without being pretentious and I will be back!

Hands down the best coffee in the StL. There are a lot of great roasters in the area, but Blueprint is consistently a great roast no matter which bean you buy. Others have hits and misses, but I haven't had bad roast yet from them. And if you buy a bag, they'll give you a free cup of coffee to enjoy. I highly suggest their lattes and any of their pour overs!

BEST COFFEE in St. Louis. Found this place by recommendation from a local and I got hooked right away. The Delmar location was the closest one to the hotel I was staying at so that's the one I frequented the most. My usual order was a double espresso to consume while I waited for my pour over. The coffee selection for pour overs was very diverse and I had yet to try one that I didn't enjoy. They do such a great job with their coffee. HIGHLY recommended.

How have I not left a review of one of my favorite places to drink coffee in Saint Louis? Blueprint not only roasts and serves some of the best coffee in Saint Louis, but they have amazing pastries and breakfast sandwiches. Sometimes at this location parking can be a little tricky, there's paid street parking that's typically available unless there's an event going on in the Loop. As you can see by my photos, the chai latte, a Tekton v6, their biscuits with apple jam and butter... these are my favorite things not only at Blueprint, but in life. We are #blessed to have such an elevated coffee roaster in Saint Louis. They set the standard of coffee goodness, all things hip, and hospitality. I love that they are always hosting events to educate locals about their coffee, too. Way to be, Blueprint. See ya in the AM.
