Colleen's Cafe
7337 Forsyth Blvd, Clayton, MO
Crema's Take
“Colleen's Cafe is a beloved University City spot where the salted caramel latte and almond milk lattes are genuinely worth the trip, paired with excellent pastries and breakfast that draw regulars back again and again. The welcoming atmosphere makes it perfect for lingering over coffee with friends or catching up on work, though arriving early helps you snag a seat before the late-morning rush. Their attention to detail shines through in everything from custom cookies for special occasions to a matcha program that earns consistent praise alongside their traditional espresso drinks.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.

We are very grateful to Colleen’s Café for baking and assembling our wedding welcome box cookies! We shared a few inspiration photos, and they absolutely nailed it — designing the most adorable custom cookies that were not only beautiful, but also delicious! They packed a set…
