Park Avenue Coffee - The Hill

cold brew was pretty alright. they have gooey butter cake! delicious with coffee. nice outside seating and the inside is ok. Seems it could get a little cramped if more than 3 people were there, but it is a little neighborhood coffee shop so they probably don't get rushes of traffic.

This is a quirky little steam punk style coffee shop that specializes in unique flavors and St. Louis style gooey butter cakes in a variety of flavors. They also offer mixes if you'd rather make it at home. They have similar drinks as other coffee shops, but with a twist that truly sets them apart. I highly recommend to other coffee snobs to check out!

Seriously good coffee and good tea selections. I had the Italian dark roast (roasted on site) and Jen had the Earl Grey. It was so good, we came back 2 hours later for a second round. This place was busy for a Sunday morning, not just because it was one of the few places open.

Park Ave is the best coffee period. Lattes to fresh brewed they have it. It's the only coffee we brew at home now too. If it ain't Park it ain't right. If you buy a bag to brew at home the employees will help you pick one that's suits your taste, they are very friendly. Just remember they got several varieties so one should fit your tastes. We have a few we switch between to keep it fresh.

Came here for gooey butter cake and it did not disappoint. Delicious, sweet texture that melts in your mouth. Pair with their excellent coffee to cut through the sweetness.

Very friendly staff, and the place has a nice ambiance. I knocked off a star b/c they don't have whole milk which is kind of how it's supposed to be done if you are used to espresso drinks from Europe. Pastries are mostly muffins and gooey butter St. Louis favorites

You won't find fresher coffee anywhere in St. Louis. Why? Because this is also their facility for "air roasting" the coffee beans. I can't honestly comment on the gooey butter cake. But the cinnamon rolls & muffins are sinfully delicious. And how the staff remembers the names of all the regular customers...I have no idea. I'm terrible at remembering names. It's like a scene from the TV show "Cheers" when I walk in the door. "Joe!"

Granted, the outside patio are is a converted loading dock area from days gone by. But it's comfy & in the sunshine most of the day. Even a bike rack for cyclists - which I am.

I liked the quaintness of this shop, and how it was in a neighborhood, but it is cramped. Did not enjoy the Cubano or the Nitro we ordered and gave it back. Our expectation with the cubano was that it would be espresso served with steamed milk, none came with it. I did not enjoy the acidity of the coffee, I expected it to be smoother. The employee did not offer to have us try something else and those 2 coffees cost us $10. We tried 3 different flavors of gooey butter cake - traditional, lemon blueberry and espresso chip. The first 2 were great! But the espresso chip was crumbly and hard, maybe it was not fresh? The watermelon cucumber mint elixir was refreshing. Our group of 5 were not impressed and will not return, but I'm sure the local community will support it. It has a quaint, yet quirky vibe.

Local coffee with a nice vibe. Perfect for a quick stop or hangout spot

Wonderful varieties of gooey butter cakes! Very safe with masks and social distancing. Glad I stopped in and took 5 different varieties home with me. They didn't last long!
