Sipping coffee, nibbling on a baked goody, and surrounding yourself by lush, vibrant plants just might be the most enchanting day trip in Missouri. Even if you don’t have an entire day, you’ll find this charming shop and café is perfect for just browsing, having a bite to eat, and relaxing. It might become your go to spot when you’re craving a delicious coffee and some new plants.

Taking its name from a native vine, Maypop Coffee & Garden Café focuses on “simple and holistic living,” helping customers to create an oasis in their own backyards and in their own homes.

Even if you’re new to cultivating plants, you’ll find everything you need to know and seasoned guidance at this charming shop.

Stroll through the shop that’s brimming with plants that will help you create your dream outdoor or indoor living space. The garden shop is open all year around, too, making it easy to find everything you need in any season.

Don’t worry if you can’t make it to the shop. It also features an online shop, where you can buy everything plant-related that you need.

Only one thing is better than a charming garden shop, and that’s one with an adorable café, where you can treat yourself to some of the best coffee in town.

Sit indoors or outdoors (seating is limited in both spaces) as you sip on a coffee or an espresso from Blueprint Coffee or a tea from Big Heart Tea Company.

Take a peek at the goodies on offer, too, that include pastries and other snacks. Maypop serves food from several sources, including Knead Bakehouse, Prioritized Pastries, and Whisk: A Sustainable Bake Shop.
