    Owner, Scott Carey, spent a ton of (unsolicited) time with me to explain all the varieties they roast in house and the characteristics of each. Passionate!

    Head barista Scott Carey carefully approaches each drink with the utmost care. For example, he'll brew El Salvadoran coffee roasted by Chicago's Intelligentsia using a Chemex brewer. Read more

    One of the best coffee shops I’ve visited, Ethiopian latte was incredible. Very relaxing vibes, got to shake the hand of the owner with the notorious beard, Scott Carey himself!

    Baristas at Sump brew El Salvadoran coffee roasted by Chicago's Intelligentsia using a Chemex (glass) brewer. The end result is rich flavor and a powerful rush of caffeine! http://bit.ly/18MUjN8

    After your coffee adventure, stop be Cherokee street and visit all the small businesses that @Jack Dorsey hooked up with @Square! Like this tip if you support small businesses. 💖

    Try everything. This is the best coffee in STL. Everything will show you a depth of flavor that you're not likely to get elsewhere.

    Heaven. Go with a few people. Sampling is good. Try a coffee and a couple espressos. Talk to the people working. They know coffee.

    Be prepared to get wired. So many brew methods to choose from that you can't walk out without having more than one.

    What to Order: A cup of Kyoto-styled brewed coffee, or an espresso that’s pulled using the Slayer machine.

    Fantastic coffee, roasted on site, and expertly brewed / prepared. But don't ask for cream!
