Hi! I’m Carrie and I’m here to drink cold brew.
Did you know there are over 50 local coffee shops in St. Louis City and St. Louis County? That’s a lot of cold brews to try! As a writer, advocate, and collaborator, I’m constantly having meetings at coffee shops. I had many discussions with my friends and network about where they like to meet. It seemed everyone had a favorite stop for coffee! So come along with me on the voyage of discovery: finding the best coffee shops to have a meeting, a date or a place to meet friends for a cup ‘o joe.
*Also, when I couldn’t take a picture at the shop, I borrowed pictures from each business’ facebook pages, respectively.

Read MoreCoffee Stop #5: Sump Coffee
Oh boy. I knew going into it, that this place had pretty hardcore coffee and I was a little nervous. Let’s just say, I’m a bit of a sissy when it comes to coffee. I like sugary drinks, but not like so sugary that your teeth are going to crumble, but I’m definitely not a…

Read MoreCoffee blog: Starting off
When considering a visit to a coffee shop, I have a few things in mind. The most important part is obviously the coffee, but there are other pieces of the puzzle that make a particular coffee shop a place I will frequent. I love nothing more than supporting local small businesses so I toured 13…
