Came here for coffees and sandwiches, and to check out the store. I ordered a prosciutto fig and Brie pretzel bun sandwich and a ham egg and cheese on croissant, as well as a cappuccino with cardamom sauce and a chocolate chip cookie. Everything was made in store which was great. The fig and Brie sandwich was a little underwhelming, not super flavorful. The croissant ham sandwich though was really tasty, I’d recommend! The coffee was really really good, the cardamom syrup was delicious. The cookie was also PHENOMENAL. When I went, the place was POPPIN and they were short staffed, so they got my order mixed up with someone else’s. But they were able to fix it quickly and we got everything we ordered, just a little messy making sure we got our food. Place is a bit small, not a lot of space to eat food so better to take it to go.

I had not intended on coming here. However the other bakery I was planning on going to was closed.
My hot chocolate was okay; They had some special with a banana in the hot chocolate which was all right, I wouldn’t go out of my way to request it though. I will have to say it was great that they had lots of non-dairy milk options to choose from. I did order a rustic cinnamon roll with cream cheese added to it; I would say that it was edible but not enjoyable. When I order a cinnamon roll, I wanted to be sweet but it really was just not sweet at all, that is your kind of cinnamon roll then this would be for you.
Overall, the atmosphere is really lovely. The shop has lots of cheeses, meats, wines, cigars, etc. lots of good stuff. That would be useful if you were making like a fancy dinner for somebody. That’s not something that I do a ton of, so I probably wouldn’t come back again. But I did enjoy the atmosphere.

This place has quite a variety of different options such as desserts, coffee, sandwiches alcohol and grocery items. We brought sandwiches. The sandwiches are fairly price.
The staff were nice. Overall if wanting something in a crunch, this is the place to go.

While staying in the area I found AO&Co for some morning coffee.
Overall I do like the location, it’s a nice looking place.
Great feel and atmosphere but..
I honestly wasn’t a fan of the coffee, it lacked a lot of the aromatic desires I look for in a solid cup.
As for craft options the wife was not impressed by her vanilla latte either, she also stated the flavor was off and something didn’t seem right.
We’re no coffee snobs by any means, but I’ve had a better shot of espresso from Starbucks and that’s not saying a lot.
For food I will say the display case looked good, but we were headed to brunch that day and didn’t try anything else.

Very nice people and a wonderfully curated grocery. Coffee was excellent and the cakes they had at the counter were AMAZING! Also, the Jerusalem bagels are awesome and worth a trip there just for those!

Loved this market! Everything they had was top quality and a super fun store to go buy stuff for your cheeseboard or a gift. The coffee was fantastic as well.

AO&Co. Market & Cafe is a chill shop with a nice selection of knickknacks and booze bottles. The coffee shop in the back offers a great selection of coffee drinks. Overall, it’s a pleasant spot to hang out, enjoy a coffee, and do a little shopping. I’ll definitely be returning on my next visit to the area.

Service ♂️
Despite the bustling atmosphere of a busy Sunday morning during a long weekend, the baristas at AO&Co. Market & Cafe handled the rush with grace and constant smiles. They skillfully crafted everything from our regular drip coffees to intricate matcha drinks with names too long to remember. Their friendly and efficient service added a cheerful touch to the overall experience.
Decor
AO&Co. Market & Cafe is a hidden gem with a stunning aesthetic. Entering from the southeast corner, you might first encounter a charming market before discovering the cozy café tucked in the back. The indoor space is intimate, with limited seating comprising two small tables squeezed against the wall, leaving just enough room for the queue. However, the real highlight is the beautiful patio outside, offering ample seating and tables where you can truly enjoy your food and drinks. The combination of indoor and outdoor spaces creates a unique and inviting ambiance.
Food ️
While my friend and I opted for regular coffees this visit, the menu at AO&Co. boasts an impressive variety of drinks and sandwiches, perfect for breakfast or lunch. The quality of the coffee was excellent, and I’m eager to return and explore their food offerings. The diverse menu promises something for everyone, making it an ideal spot for a casual meal or a quick coffee break.
In Retrospect
Reflecting on our visit, AO&Co. Market & Cafe stands out as a delightful destination in St. Louis. The excellent service, beautiful decor, and promising menu make it a must-visit. Whether you’re looking for a cozy spot to enjoy a coffee or a vibrant patio to relax with friends, this café has it all. I highly recommend stopping by for a taste of their offerings and a chance to soak in the lovely atmosphere.
Final Verdict: – “Great”
