Chauvin Coffee Corporation

a roaster that actually takes sourcing seriously, operating out of kirkwood's south fillmore corridor, which sits far enough from the downtown buzz that you have to mean it when you go. and most people do. chauvin coffee corporation isn't trying to court the weekend brunch crowd or position itself as a lifestyle brand. it roasts, it sells, it does the work. if you're the kind of person who pays attention to what's in your cup rather than where you're sitting when you drink it, this is a stop worth building into your routine. the address, 310 s fillmore, puts you in a quieter residential stretch of kirkwood, which makes the whole operation feel considered rather than convenient. go on a weekday morning.
