Came here while visiting the city and decided on the chocolate croissant and morning bun. The chocolate croissant was phenomenal and had amazing lamination and was extremely soft and fluffy. The chocolate was a welcome addition to the croissant. The morning bun was also amazing. It had an orange and cardamom flavor infused throughout the entire pastry. It also had very defined lamination and was a bit more dense compared to the croissant, as expected. We also got a pot of tea and settled on the Jade Scroll. It was a very light green tea and it contrasted very well with the buttery pastries. The staff are very friendly and if you wanted to resteep the leaves, make sure to let them know and the Jade Scroll leaves were pretty good up to 3 brews. Overall, an amazing breakfast experience and would come again!

Comet Coffee has become an almost-daily ritual. I love walking in and seeing the beautiful looking and delicious smelling pasties. The staff is so friendly and have provided great recommendations. I always look forward to going there :) My favorites (so far) there are the Alaska Big Sur espresso, dirty chai w oat milk and a pump of lavender, and their matcha latte with oat milk and a pump of lavender. Also they have great extras for sale! Excited to try them!

Yesterday I was craving scones and I saw a review that said this place had the best in town. When we arrived, I was immediately charmed-- the place was totally packed, which was a good sign. There were gorgeous, happy plants all over! The decor was cute and simple, and had an inviting bookshelf with some great books available -- perfect for enjoying with a snack and a drink. The baked goods section sadly didn't have any scones today. I was stuck deciding between the morning buns and chocolate-almond croissants, and the super helpful barista suggested the morning bun with zero hesitation. The barista was so helpful and kind-- she really went above and beyond to describe the different drink options on the menu, including how popular each was and what people had thought about each as I tried to decide what to get. I really appreciated the thorough suggestions. I got the morning bun and it was sooooo good. Flaky on the outside, soft and chewy and moist inside, covered with orange cardamom sugar. Divine. I got an Ecuador pour-over coffee, black, and though it wasn't filled to the top, it was exactly what I wanted. The barista did not steer me wrong. My partner got an iced dirty chai latte, which he orders from various places often. At first sip, he rushed over to me and insisted I try it because "they nailed it." It was really tasty! He got a slice of coffee cake and devoured it. Lots of people were working at the various tables or chatting with friends. Though we took our order to go, we both agreed we should go back and work from there sometime. Lovely experience, A+!

Came here while moving/road tripping from Georgia to KCMO. A friend who lives in STL introduced it to me, and it's in a pretty convenient location that's a 5 minute walk from his apartment (so I can't really attest to the parking situation here). This place is hidden away in an office complex-looking building, but it has pretty great vibes once you're able to find it. I think it doesn't have enough indoor seating for the patronage they get, but it's excusable since they're sharing the overall space with other businesses. The pastries are phenomenal. We ordered a chocolate and almond croissant, chocolate croissant, pistachio croissant, and morning bun. This comfortably fed 3 people for breakfast. The croissants are wonderfully flaky and crunchy, and the morning bun had an addictive rosemary/citrus flavoring. My favorite pastry out of the ones we tried was the pistachio croissant, as I'm not a huge fan of chocolate flavored things in general. The coffee was splendid as well, I ordered a honey lavender latte and it was refreshing to drink the day after a grueling 8 hour drive. Service was also friendly. We asked for pastries for here and drinks to-go, and they were very accommodating. They gave us table service which was more than expected for a little cafe like this. I think the only gripe I have about this cafe is the pastry pricing. $5 for a croissant is a bit high. The tea is, according to my friend, "extremely worth it" because they steep an entire leaf of tea (instead of shredded/ground up leaves), and it can be re-steeped up to 8(?) times for an extremely reasonable price of $3-4. Coffee is standard pricing, maybe even a little cheaper than what I expected. Overall a very good cafe that I would frequent to treat myself if it fit into my budget.

Comet coffee was a cute spot! It's Located right outside of St. Louis Community College forest park campus. I grabbed an iced honey lavender latte and it was delicious and gave me exactly what I needed to get through the day. The service was impeccable and I love that both the cashier and barista were incredibly friendly and helpful! This coffee addict will definitely be back!

Stopped by for a breakfast treat and was not disappointed. I've been to Comet a few times and the star of the show is really the selection of buttery baked goods. The bear claw and all variations of the croissant are always crowd favorites. I dream of their tarts and have been lucky to sample a few. The best time to stop by is the weekday because the weekends can get busy and they may run out of your favorite treats. The coffee is great too so treat yourself to a caramel oat latte and a baked good and you'll have a great day. The staff is always friendly and warm and they have seating inside and outside. A great place to grab a weekday coffee with a friend or to cowork.
