HiFi - Upshot Clayton
8401 Maryland Ave, Clayton, MO
Crema's Take
“Tucked into Clayton's Maryland Avenue, this intimate vinyl-filled gem combines serious espresso work with surprisingly excellent breakfast food that locals rave about. The compact space crackles with personality—think album covers lining the shelves and a soundtrack spinning beneath friendly hellos—making it feel more like a music lover's kitchen than a typical coffee shop. Whether you're after a meticulously pulled shot, a perfectly poured pour over, or one of their legendary breakfast burritos, the efficient team here treats every order with genuine care.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. Quick-grab spot. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.

Small place, but they’re pretty efficient, and the food is absolutely astounding. Probably the best breakfast place I found in the Clayton area. And the cool thing is, they have records everywhere that you can peruse. It’s seriously one of the cutest places, and I can’t wait…
Love this place, Staff is lovely, coffee and even chai is all top notch and finally the food is delicious. Best breakfast burrito I have found in the city. The last time we were in my wife and I split the Avocado Toast and it was a perfect snack. Not a negative for me but…
