Crema's Take

This Grove institution brilliantly straddles two worlds as both a welcoming coffee bar and an inclusive nightlife venue, where you can grab a carefully pulled espresso by day or catch live performances and craft cocktails by night. The staff's genuine warmth and commitment to accessibility—from genuinely all-gender restrooms to an open-door stage policy for first-timers—creates an atmosphere that feels distinctly St. Louis in its embrace of community and creativity. Whether you're stopping by for a quick espresso or settling in for a "Kush and Mimosas" event, JAVA delivers the relaxed, encouraging vibe of a third space that actually means it.

What to expect

I have been here a few times, usually for an event. I've been to Kush and coffee, and recently, kush and mimosas. Now that, was a Viiiiibe. I otherwise have come in on a few late mornings. The barista Tee, who you'd see in their videos on IG, has great personality, and makes…
