High Low

Cool spot for a coffee or bite to eat. They have a nice selection of specialty roasts and the house made orange cardamom flavor was on point. They have a nice selection of sweet treats too. There are plenty of desks if you need space to work. The staff was very nice and even brought me my drink after I went to sit down.

If you want coffee AND an experience, come to High Low. It has one of the calmest, serene decors of all coffee houses in STL. Its theme centers around literature, full of bookshelves and comfy couches to read. It’s not overly loud of a setting, so if you want to do work without headphone, this is the place. Because of its design, I believe it attracts an artsier crowd who wants to read or discuss. I regularly have business meetings here unrelated to art and literature because I know I’m not surrounded by pretentious finance bros or fraternity brothers.

The coffee is pretty standard, but I can’t say much on it because my order is always bland: Hot, black coffee.

Highly recommend making this a coffee staple of yours, you’ll always leave feeling better than when you walked in.

TLDR: Delish coffee brewed well, don’t plan to sit in the front window on a sunny winter day.

Of course, they coffee is amazing. It was a very well brewed cup. I had the choice of batch brewed or pour over, I chose the Ethiopian fresh pour over option and it was great. It came in a glass beaker and small cup so I could pour what I wanted and keep the rest hot, which it did very well. My wife got a cappuccino and it was truly delicious.

The only problem was that we sat in the front window and on this cold sunny day, it got downright hot sitting there. The other tables were full, but even they were getting a lot of sun this time of year. If I had planned my seating better, it would have been an amazing place to hang for a while.

Of course, the LaMarzocco machine is agorgeous blue.

This coffee shop is such a cool little place to grab a great coffee or tea with an excellent selection of bites. It's lively but not loud so the perfect place to meet up with some friends and hang out or simply get some work done! A real gem just around the corner from Grand Center.

High Low was recommended by our Airbnb host as it was within walking distance of our place and had quality coffee! Can confirm, we had kind service and lovely espresso. I had chose the cortado with oat milk and house-made vanilla syrup ✨
Seating was at a premium on a Wednesday at 11am, many remote workers/students, but also pairs of people chatting, but a few spots opened up while we sat.
I tried to check ahead of time if food was served, and assumed it would just be a small pastry case,so we were pleasantly surprised to see a small food menu + pastries. Recommend!

I guess I can consider myself as a High Low regular now, given my visits almost every weekend. It's perched perfectly at the intersection, and has beautiful sunlight streaming in, with just the right variety of beverage options, enough to have you try new things each week, but not too many to overwhelm someone. Their freshly baked breads are also equally good complements to their brews.

Wow! Amazing! I stumbled upon this cool and cozy spot while waiting for a show at the Fab Fox. The walls are lined with books to read. The music is light and contemporary. The vibe is so chill. A++ Great pumpkin bread and coffee too! Xoxo 😘

Friendly and highly knowledgeable staff, offering in-depth tasting notes and explanations of the different beans/roasts. welcoming, laid back ambience with a plethora of seating options.

The highlight for us were the pastries though, as Lindsey is a phenomenally talented baker who is quite modest to boot! The blueberry lavender and rosemary goat cheese scones are easily among the best we've ever tried. The flavors are rich, natural tasting, yet also proportioned in harmonious balance. A must stop anytime we're in STL from now on.

We really love High Low. It’s an excellent place to get some work done, while enjoying a fresh pour over and a scone. The atmosphere is bright and relaxed, which makes it perfect to read or work if you’re needing to get out of the house. Parking is usually great, and I often can get a spot right by the entrance. The art gallery in the back is a really unique part of High Low’s experience. It’s part of to Kransberg Arts Foundation and it’s a free exhibit hall with rotating work from local artists. It makes for a really cool place to visit or to make part of your weekly routine.

Very cool space to work a d drink coffee! It’s an extension of the Kranzberg Art Foundation making it a great place to support. The coffee is great and there is plenty of room to get work done if you like working in coffee shops. Check this place out asap for your next cup of Joe!

I absolutely love blueprint coffee and this setting makes it even better! The employees at the high low blueprint are the coolest ever! I work in the building so I see them all the time and they’re always so friendly and accommodating and knowledgeable. I’ve been to many blueprints and I think this is the best one, the vibes are great and the coffee is immaculate!!!

Delicious coffee, mellow vibe, space for working and very bright. Love this place so much.

1 thing though... very limited outlets so I would recommend they add surge protectors with extra outlets

Some of the best coffee you’ll find in the city, and the most amazing atmosphere to work from - most ppl come here to read, write, work, or study so there’s a cool library vibe. The staff are always so nice and remember my order. Can get busy during college session.

Excellent products, venue, service and atmosphere. This is a gem that I am so happy has come to the Grand Center/Wash ave loft district. They have managed to create a wonderful jazz/art gallery/cafe experience with a fantastic vibe. Breath of fresh air, love it, will be back often!

Really great coffee and presentation! Seating is really great for studying, unlike many coffeeshops that force people to work at tiny tables. Beware: large amounts of sunlight come through the large windows and can make it difficult to work in certain areas.

Great customer service and excellent coffee! I absolutely love the atmosphere too! Nice sunlight with large windows and plenty of space to sit and enjoy.

Coffee is so good and the pastries are unique and delicious! Bookish vibes and friendly atmosphere!

I practically live here during my breaks. The staff are the friendliest I've encountered in STL, the quality of my coffee has never missed, and the ambiance is sunny & comfortable.

Great experience! Went in for some beans and was helped by a very friendly and knowledgeable barista. Also had a lemon scone which was marvelous.

The new Blueprint Cafe at High Low is amazing. They have a great staff and are offing the same high quality coffee experience that you have come to expect from the Blueprint name.
