St. Charles Coffee & Creperie: Grab Caffeine and a French Treat on Main Street
Historic Main Street in St. Charles, Missouri, is a favorite place to meet friends for lunch, or just coffee. We’re fond of Magpie’s for lunch (especially on their outdoor patio), or Picasso’s or Frontier Perk for coffee.
I noticed a newer eatery on Main Street this past year: St. Charles Coffee & Creperie. I met up with a good friend for a coffee date there recently.
Getting There
St. Charles Coffee & Creperie is located at 336 South Main Street, Saint Charles, MO 63301. It’s on Historic Main Street in the St. Charles Historic District (Google Maps link), located right along the Missouri River in St. Charles City. The most common way to get there is to take Interstate 70 to the Fifth Street Exit, then head north before making a right on Boone’s Lick Road, which takes you right into the district. Alternatively, you can approach Main Street from the north by way of 370 at the Third Street Exit, then take a roundabout onto Second Street, which takes you right up to the district.
Parking
You can find parking all up and down St. Charles Coffee & Creperie around Main Street and the streets around it. My favorite parking spot is one block to the east of Main Street, on Riverside Drive. There are decent-sized lots up and down Riverside, from the north end by the Foundry Art Centre if you’re up for some walking (Google Maps link) to an array of lots across from Frontier Park. You can also find an expansive parking lot on the south end of the area (also a bit of a walk to St. Charles Coffee & Creperie) next to the Lewis and Clark Boat House and Museum (Google Maps link. In addition, there is a long line of parallel and/or angled spots on Riverside itself.
There’s also parallel parking closer to the action on Main Street. Main Street can be busy with cars and foot traffic, though, so it’s not my first choice. Obviously it is for some people, since you’ll regularly find cars parked there.
Most parking in and around the district is free. If you’re having trouble finding spots to park — which can happen during festivals — St. Charles has an app for that.
Costs and Considerations
St. Charles Coffee & Creperie serves house-roasted, organic, fair trade coffee along with organic, fair trade tea. The crepes are made from scratch with pasture-raised eggs from a local farm.

They sell a variety of sweet and savory crepes, most of which cost around $13 to $14. A plain crepe dusted with powdered sugar is $6. They also offer several breakfast sandwiches, quiche, grilled lunch sandwiches, and a la cart items such as eggs, bacon, and sausage.
The front counter features pastries, including beignets, filled croissants, and cinnamon rolls. Beignets are one for $2, three for $5.25, or six for $10.25.

Our Thoughts
I met a friend at noon for lunch and drinks here. My friend arrived first, and the seating was mostly full, so she grabbed one of the only open tables for us, which happened to be right in front of the counter near the loud coffee machine. A server brought us free waters and hard copies of menus. A menu is also posted on the wall above the counter. Our drink orders came out in a few minutes.
A few minutes after we arrived, several tables emptied out, so we moved to an open table near a window, where the view was better and it was quieter. There was a steady stream of traffic in and out of the cafe after that, but it didn’t fill up like before.
Our crepes came out shortly after that. I ordered a dessert crepe, the crepe brulee, which features strawberries and vanilla custard filling topped with a candied sugar disc. My crepe was served in a cardboard cone in a metal stand. They brought out a disposable plate for me to use. Our table also had real silverware wrapped in napkins.
My friend ordered the wild mushroom & spinach crepe featuring mushrooms cooked in wine, shallot, and garlic sauce with gruyere cheese and spinach. She also ordered the a la cart mixed field greens tossed in lemon juice, olive oil, and Maldon salt. The greens were $3.50, which she thought was on the pricey side considering how small of a plate it was.
We each bought six beignets to take home to share with our families. We recommend the raspberry beignets.
The food was all delicious, with good portion sizes with the exception of the greens. It was hard to decide what to order because so much of it sounded good.
The service was also prompt and friendly. Staff were happy to answer any questions we had about food or prices.
We’ll definitely be back.
