Reviews for Maplewood Deli & Coffeehouse in Maplewood, MO
Lovely little place :) . Only my second time here and the people recognize my face! (And my love for hot chocolate) the hot... chocolate is amazing, it isn't all chemically and incredibly stripping as the stuff from stores. It's really subtle and I enjoyit alot. Their food is really good too, the grilled cheese panini has a more unique taste. Love this place- I plan on becominga regular :) Read more
Fun, funky, hip, bohemian. Heart of purple hair Maplewood. Good cookies. I would prefer they bring the drinks to the table after... ordering because I get a little self conscious when they call out my order in front of everyone. Read more
One of my absolute favorite coffeehouses in the region. I've tried several different lattes and they are all great. Not bitter... or overly sweet like some other places. My go to Lavendar latte never disappoints, the peanut butter blonde and macaroons arealso amazing. The owner and staff are friendly and genuine. You should give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

This is my second time visiting Maplewood Deli and Coffeehouse (formerly known as Foundation Grounds). The staff has been SO... welcoming and friendly each time. Their latte's are top-notch (seasonal honey cinnamon pictured), and their food is great aswell! It's such a warm and inviting environment to sit and work or visit with friends. There are several neat touchesthroughout the space, but my favorite is the "Pay it Forward" coffee board where you can purchase a coffee for someone, forinstance, having a bad day. They can redeem it using the sticky notes (pictured below). Definitely one of my favorite coffeespots I've visited in STL so far! Read more
We stopped by this place for our quick Morning coffee and breakfast. It was Sunday morning, and the place was fully packed. We... got a table and the coffee was served on the table l. The coffee was very basic and nothing fancy. I ordered a bagel with creamcheese. I requested the bagel to be toasted, however on arrival I discovered that it was not toasted. Anyways, the place waspacked, and maybe they were on running on a shortage of staff. Even we found the service to be slow. My partner ordered somevegan burrito with butternut squash and spinach. It was also very basic and underwhelming. Read more
Excellent little cafe and a great place to work. Lots of natural light floods in through the big windows all around. Edit: as... of Oct 2020 it seems like staff is all new and don't know what they're doing when it comes to espresso. Had a really sour andwatery double shot. Read more
For some companies to claim to have an undying devotion to high caliber espresso machines, fair trade beans and single sourced... this and that there hasn't been enough action on the coffee scene for the a primary ingredient, milk. Milk is a huge part ofcoffee culture, so to overlook it is just asinine in my opinion. Foundation Grounds has all the above AND the milk covered in anexceptional way! I have been looking for a place that made espresso drinks with almond milk but they are very few and farbetween. Then comes this jewel; it was a light ordeal to park (that's Maplewood for you) but I'm so glad I found this spot andI'm proud to declare this is going to be a new coffee Mecca for me. I went in and ordered a Mocha. Normally, I would gethazelnut or toffee-nut because a lot of places Mocha is rather bitter for my liking. Something told me to just go ahead and giveit a try on its own (I was already getting almond milk - so I was winning). Before I could sit down and make a phone call myorder was up. A lovingly, handcrafted drink with very beautiful artwork was piping hot and ready for me. I go to stir my drinkand I lick the stirrer to gauge how much sugar I'll need to add. In my mind "oh boy they have done it, I don't need any sugar -what in Sam Hill is going on"? It was so good I had to call my mom. It was so good that I called over the Barista and told himthat the drink that he just hand crafted up for me was ri-damn-diculous (in a good way)!!! I told him I was frustrated withother places not serving almond milk and also about how taken aback I was at how delicious the Mocha was without any extraadditives. This place truly uses premium ingredients and that was apparent straight away. I can't wait to go back and try someof the awesome food items that are on the menu. The customer service here is impeccable. They were about to close and they toldme they don't kick anybody out. It really felt homey and relaxed in this charming location; lots of comfy se Read more
Busy coffee shop could also pass for a hangout spot! Lots of 20-30 somethings at work on laptops. Nice location in Maplewood.... Reasonable prices and solid food. Oh...and they have macarons too! Read more
