Situated between The Frisco Barroom, a Rustic American Restaurant and Civil Alchemy, a Modern Day General store, we’ve merged elements from both, expanded, and built The Annex Coffee and Foods. Stop in morning, noon and night for breads, croissants, house-smoked deli meats and locally roasted coffee. Grab a sandwich, take a seat inside or out, sip coffee or a cocktail, shop specialty foods, and bring staples home all in one stop.

I really loved the Annex! The patio is lovely, and the inside has such a nice atmosphere with a beautiful spread of original looking products. There’s a great variety of cakes and pies, and they’re delicious. The coffee is good too.
That said, there are two things that feel like misses:
1. They serve you in a mug, but no spoon (which really blows my mind). They have wooden sticks. Good thing I always have my own spoon!
2. They expect a tip, but you’re essentially doing the work yourself…you walk in, order at the counter, wait while they prepare it, then carry it to your table. I don’t mind doing that at all, but I won’t tip in that setup.
I will be back!

The Annex: Huge flavor, huge variety, and yuuuuge prices
Bigger isn’t always better — and a perfect example of that is The Annex. It’s a bakery of big extremes, and it’s big on both the positives and the negatives. The Annex outshines its competition by being in the top percentile in several aspects:
– Variety & Uniqueness: How many places do you know of in STL where you can get a lot of the classics, but still get something unique like a pear & frangipane tart or an ube white chocolate chip cookie?
– Taste: To offer something like a pear & frangipane tart is one thing; to be able to execute it and make it taste good enough that it’s one of the most popular choices at your bakery is another. The best of the best at The Annex is the best of the best in STL; the key lime pie is king, the beef & mushroom streusel is life-changing, the pear & frangipane tart was the ultimate pear-adise, and the blueberry streusel cheesecake might legitimately be the best cheesecake I’ve ever had.
But despite being so good compared to other STL bakeries in some areas, it’s big on a few negative extremes as well — and falls flat on its face versus the competition in other aspects:
– Price: Some of their offerings are the most expensive pastries I’ve seen in the STL area, and they’re even more expensive than all of the bakeries I visited in San Francisco a few months ago. And San Francisco is one of the highest cost-of-living cities in the U.S., which makes this even more confusing. The baked goods here are good, but $11 pre-tax for a slice of beef and mushroom strudel that’s about as big as my fist? Come on, lol.
– Inconsistency: Some of their bakery offerings are absolutely TOP-tier — arguably some of the best of what you can get in STL, like what I mentioned earlier. But some of their other items fall flat vs the competition:
– ube white chocolate cookie (dry)
– brownie (tasted like a brownie mix brownie from a grocery store)
– blueberry macaron
– cheese pierogi
Overall, this bakery is a great choice, and I’d 100% take someone here from out of town if they were in the mood for one of The Annex’s standout items I mentioned earlier like the key lime pie. But are you playing dessert Russian roulette when trying something new? Absolutely

Omg. This is a must visit specialty store. They serve coffees, pastries, candles, sandwiches, etc ! They carry international and local goodies. From olives, olive oils, pastas, teas, salsa, to just everything you are wanting for occasions. I absolutely love this gem. Definitely going back with the family.

The Annex is a super cute coffee shop serving a variety of coffees, along with selling lots of cute items, and they even have an ice cream parlor, Half-Pint, inside. This is as close to a “third space” that you could find… you can chit-chat, study, get ice cream, or purchase something cute. I highly recommend swinging by!

Really good coffee shop in STL and great vibes. Indoor seating is usually packed, but they have good outside space as well. Overall, a good spot for a coffee/bakery.

Overall: average stop, nothing life-changing but not bad food. One order had the Ham Jam with a Maple Cinnamon Latte. As a non-ham gal I wanted to trust the process though I should’ve substituted for a different meat. The cherry raspberry jam had good flavor but lacked the sweetness that is expected from a jam-meat-cheese combination. The other was the Pear, Brie, Arugula add turkey and an Iced Peach Latte. Between the both, we would’ve liked to have some more Brie, it flew pretty under the radar and didn’t seem to add much to either sandwich. Coffees were ok. I would’ve liked the Maple Cinnamon to have more flavor, it was a little boring. The peach latte is just as interesting of a combination as it sounds. Good sourdough bread, it was crisped nicely and pleasant to eat. I think this place definitely has the potential to be a great stop if you find what works for you!

Pro: shared seating with the ice cream shop next store. The store looks modern, and the service is nice. Has a parking lot in the back with ample parking. In a nice and vibrant neighborhood
Con: coffee were meh. Modern looking shop but there are a lot of taxidermy on the wall which is unnecessary. Weekend are especially crowded and loud

Hands down the best Mocha Latte I have had in St. Louis. You can taste the difference of the La Marzocco espresso shots and that this coffee shop focuses on quality over quantity. That said, the line moves very fast and you can also order hot/cold food at the register. I recommend the Beef & Mushroom Strudel, Dolmas, and whatever version of tiramisu they have in stock. That apple tart frangipane is also delicious for any meal…breakfast…lunch…snack.

Stopped into pick up a quiche and some staples for my pantry. What an amazing selection. You could get into serious trouble with all they have to offer! This is one of my favorite coffee shops in St. Louis for sure!

As my stars indicate, the place is nice, but their coffee not so much. Drip coffee is weak tasting and acidic. Espressos are undrinkable. I’ve ordered them several times thinking it was a fluke, but each time they were so acidic, I ended up throwing them out. Not exaggerating when I say this, but it tastes as if you’ve squeezed half a lemon into a double shot of espresso. Food is ok, not worth the inflated prices. Atmosphere is nice, both inside and outside. Staff can be huffy if you ask for anything out of the ordinary. Example; we asked for porcelain cups, as he was getting ready to pour our drink in paper cups. That got us a sigh and a an eye roll for some reason. Do better anex. Plenty of other options around where you will be appreciated as a customer, served drinkable coffee, and will be greeted with a smile
