Good news: we\u2019ve decided to provide coffee at WCUS this year! What? There was coffee at WCUS in Nashville? I didn\u2019t notice because I was too busy drinking the most delicious coffee in Nashville<\/em> while doing research for this blog post last year<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m sure the coffee at America\u2019s Center Convention Complex<\/a> will be fine<\/em>. But you\u2019ll probably still catch me sneaking away from the venue to get my fix at one of these delectable java joints. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Sump Coffee<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Location:<\/strong> 3700 S Jefferson Ave, St. Louis, MO 63118
Opens:<\/strong> 8 AM (9 AM weekends)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Website:<\/strong> https:\/\/www.sumpcoffee.com<\/a>
Description:<\/strong> Sump Coffee may be the farthest shop from the conference center that made it on this list. But when I asked my family what coffee shops we want to return to, Sump was at the top of all of our lists. As good as the coffee and espresso are at all of the other places you\u2019re about to read about, somehow they\u2019re even better<\/em> here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blueprint Coffee<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Locations:<\/strong> 
6225 Delmar Blvd, St. Louis, MO 63130
4206 Watson Rd, St. Louis, MO 63109
Opens:<\/strong> 7 AM every day<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Website:<\/strong> https:\/\/blueprintcoffee.com<\/a>
Description: <\/strong>Blueprint is one of the few places in town where you can attend a cupping<\/a> to learn what makes their beans special. The baristas know their stuff and can help you find the right flavor to fit your palate. And if you\u2019re feeling peckish, their food is excellent, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Catalyst Coffee Bar<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Location:<\/strong> 1223 Pine St, St. Louis, MO 63103
Opens:<\/strong> 8 AM (closed Sunday)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Website:<\/strong> http:\/\/www.catalystcoffeebar.org\/<\/a>
Description:<\/strong> You\u2019ll find great-tasting coffee, lots of seating and beautiful (local) art in this hip coffee bar. They take care to source their beans from roasters across the US, but all of their pastries are baked locally. If you can walk 8 blocks, this could be the perfect place for an offsite meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rise Coffee<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Opens:<\/strong> 6:30 AM (8 AM on Sundays)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Website:<\/strong> http:\/\/risecoffeestl.com\/<\/a>
Description:<\/strong> This neighborhood coffee shop is beloved by locals because of their focus on building community. Just because they put people first doesn\u2019t mean they skimp on the coffee that they roast! If you\u2019re looking for food, Rise Coffee has great options for breakfast and lunch fare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Park Avenue Coffee<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Description:<\/strong> Don\u2019t have time to go across town for coffee? Park Avenue Coffee isn\u2019t at the top of the list, but it\u2019s just two blocks from the convention center to the southwest. While you\u2019re there, pick up a Saint Louis favorite: gooey butter cake!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
