La Finca Coffee Shop
4440 Manchester Ave, St. Louis, MO
Crema's Take
“This cozy neighborhood gem in The Grove has mastered the art of hospitality, with staff who genuinely love teaching guests about coffee and are equally enthusiastic about their standout matcha lattes and buttery veggie empanadas. The space feels intentionally designed for lingering—whether you're settling in to work for hours or catching up with friends—with diverse seating nooks throughout a bright, inviting room that manages to be both energizing and calm. Their espresso-forward approach and pour-over precision reflect a real commitment to coffee craft that pairs beautifully with the Colombian café atmosphere and thoughtful light menu.”

This was the cutest little coffee shop. my class and I took a field trip to the coffee shop. They were so open and willing to teach about coffee. The Matcha I had was amazing, an iced Matcha latte. Very delicious! Atmosphere was amazing, beautiful portraits, beautiful murals (which are for sale!). The people were amazing, employees, staff, etc. Just an overall great coffee shop, would highly recommend!
I really enjoyed this cafe. There was an array of different seating choices. Everything looked clean, bright, and inviting. The snacks were good. The coffee was good. The service was great. A lovely barista served me and he was really friendly but also efficient. Would happily return when back in town
The lattes were delicious, and the coffee was very good quality. We also enjoyed the veggie empanadas. The staff was kind, smiling, and took time to respond and help with orders. However, the café seemed a bit disorganized—one of our drinks was forgotten, and another came out wrong. Also, while the bakery selection itself was nice, the number of baked items didn’t meet the demand. By 10 a.m., they were already sold out, with only a few chicken and beef empanadas left. Overall, a pleasant place with tasty coffee and friendly service, but the organization and availability of items could be improved.
Needed caffeine. Needed food. Walked into La Finca in the Grove and I got smacked in the face with deliciousness. The veggie empanadas with green salsa, how dare they be that good? Golden, flaky pockets of joy that made me rethink my entire stance on mid-morning snacks. And the coffee? Hot, strong, and unapologetically bold. Cute little shop that’s way too Instagrammable.
What a lovely Columbian style cafe in The Grove neighborhood of St. Louis. They have light pastries for food. Awesome place to work quietly or study - lots of seating and nooks and several areas with outlets to charge your devices. It's nice that they are open later than 2pm most afternoons. The staff were very kind. Limited street parking available.
