A great way to get your favorite sides from chef Ben Porembas restaurants! The sandwiches & lattes are excellent as well. The in-house cigars are in top 3 favorite brands. And they have an excellent alcohol selection as well!

Loved this market! Everything they had was top quality and a super fun store to go buy stuff for your cheeseboard or a gift. The coffee was fantastic as well.

Wonderful atmosphere and the young lady working was super nice. Best gluten free muffin ever and coffee was delicious. I need to go back and see the shop connected.
Dietary restrictions: Their Gluten free items are great
I had lemon poppy seed- super moist

Service ?♂️
Despite the bustling atmosphere of a busy Sunday morning during a long weekend, the baristas at AO&Co. Market & Cafe handled the rush with grace and constant smiles. They skillfully crafted everything from our regular drip coffees to intricate matcha drinks with names too long to remember. Their friendly and efficient service added a cheerful touch to the overall experience. ?????
Decor ?
AO&Co. Market & Cafe is a hidden gem with a stunning aesthetic. Entering from the southeast corner, you might first encounter a charming market before discovering the cozy café tucked in the back. The indoor space is intimate, with limited seating comprising two small tables squeezed against the wall, leaving just enough room for the queue. However, the real highlight is the beautiful patio outside, offering ample seating and tables where you can truly enjoy your food and drinks. The combination of indoor and outdoor spaces creates a unique and inviting ambiance. ????
Food ?️
While my friend and I opted for regular coffees this visit, the menu at AO&Co. boasts an impressive variety of drinks and sandwiches, perfect for breakfast or lunch. The quality of the coffee was excellent, and I’m eager to return and explore their food offerings. The diverse menu promises something for everyone, making it an ideal spot for a casual meal or a quick coffee break. ?????
In Retrospect ?
Reflecting on our visit, AO&Co. Market & Cafe stands out as a delightful destination in St. Louis. The excellent service, beautiful decor, and promising menu make it a must-visit. Whether you’re looking for a cozy spot to enjoy a coffee or a vibrant patio to relax with friends, this café has it all. I highly recommend stopping by for a taste of their offerings and a chance to soak in the lovely atmosphere.
Final Verdict: ????? - “Great”

Hidden gem in the area, you would never know it just driving by. This little luxury market and cafe is a wonderfully unique collection of products and consumables displayed almost like a gallery. If you are in the area it is a must visit location if only to window-shop and grab a chai.

AO&Co. Market & Cafe is a chill shop with a nice selection of knickknacks and booze bottles. The coffee shop in the back offers a great selection of coffee drinks. Overall, it's a pleasant spot to hang out, enjoy a coffee, and do a little shopping. I'll definitely be returning on my next visit to the area.

I visited on Saturday May 11. Outstanding latte. Good scone. Friendly batistas.
Coffee side layout is not good. With the order area right inside door, it's confusing, congested, and frustrating.
The bourbon / cigar room is super cool.
The grocery area is well stocked with unique items. However, it baffles me that the person working that area doesn't speak to anyone looking around. A niche shop really demands better hospitality.

Great place for artisan grocery’s. I was seriously impressed with their selection. Highly recommend their tinned fish, butter, natural wine selection.

Very nice people and a wonderfully curated grocery. Coffee was excellent and the cakes they had at the counter were AMAZING! Also, the Jerusalem bagels are awesome and worth a trip there just for those!

I had not intended on coming here. However the other bakery I was planning on going to was closed.My hot chocolate was okay; They had some special with a banana in the hot chocolate which was all right, I wouldn't go out of my way to request it though. I will have to say it was great that they had lots of non-dairy milk options to choose from. I did order a rustic cinnamon roll with cream cheese added to it; I would say that it was edible but not enjoyable. When I order a cinnamon roll, I wanted to be sweet but it really was just not sweet at all, that is your kind of cinnamon roll then this would be for you.Overall, the atmosphere is really lovely. The shop has lots of cheeses, meats, wines, cigars, etc. lots of good stuff. That would be useful if you were making like a fancy dinner for somebody. That's not something that I do a ton of, so I probably wouldn't come back again. But I did enjoy the atmosphere.
Dietary restrictions: When ordering my hot chocolate, you could choose from any milk that you wanted which is a great option.
