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.”

Fantastic cafe and great location in university city. We have visited twice and loved both experiences. It can get busy in the later hours so I would suggest coming early if possible. The breakfast fried rice is amazing and is even gluten free
We ordered drip coffee (okay) and the salted caramel latte — a must-try. The chocolate croissant wasn’t fresh. Sunshine grilled cheese was decent (3/5). Grilled chicken bowl was very bland; the chicken seemed boiled rather than grilled or roasted — not recommended. Overall, a below-average experience.
The BLT is top notch! We also loved our Matcha. Can’t beat their cookies. Highly recommend!
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 of 4 cookies in an 8x8 window box, tied them with ribbon, and delivered them to our guests’ hotels with care. It was such a thoughtful touch that our guests loved! Thank you for transforming our ideas into something even more perfect than we imagined!
Food was amazing - breakfast. Almond milk latte was one of my favorite I’ve ever tasted. Good coffee and nice AM.
