I've been to every independent coffee shop in the St. Louis area, and hands down Kaldi's is still the best. After more than 10 years of going to the DeMun store it is still the best with the best decoration, best coffee, and hands down the best staff and service. Far worth making the trip in to Clayton if you live in Chesterfield or beyond.
Pros: Awesome service, ample parking, incredible atmosphere
Cons: Can be extremely busy on weekends, food can be pricey
