"If you’re looking for a place where your inner 12-year-old boy mentality can giggle uncontrollably while your adult self enjoys a damn fine cup of coffee, Shameless Grounds in St. Louis is your nirvana. It’s in the Benton Park neighborhood at 1901 Withnell Ave and is a sex-positive café that has been making uptight people uncomfortable since 2011. and we love that! Upon entering, you’re greeted by an atmosphere that’s as cozy as your grandma’s living room if your grandma was into risqué literature and cheeky décor. The walls are lined with human sexuality lending literature. Now, let’s talk about the menu. I couldn’t resist ordering the “Morning Wood,” a breakfast bowl. The combination of eggs, cheese, and your choice of meat or veggies so satisfying, it almost made me mature. Almost. The staff here are friendly and inclusive, making everyone feel welcome. Shameless Grounds isn’t just about food and drinks; it’s a community hub. They offer free STI testing every other Friday and provide an array of safe sex supplies at no cost. Because nothing says “I care” like grabbing a coffee and a handful of condoms on your way out."

"Absolutely amazing place with equally amazing people and food! It's always inviting, tidy, and the atmosphere is great to chat, play games, or just chill on the patio (which allows dogs)! Our pup always gets spoiled by the staff. 🫶 They also have a really excellent library and a corner art and adult toy shop."

"Stopped by for breakfast during my visit from Michigan by recommendation from a friend and was not disappointed! They have great vibes - super friendly and I felt so welcome here. The menu is punny and the patio was a nice place to relax and enjoy the fresh air. The drinks are yummy and breakfast hit the spot. Definitely would stop by again if I'm in the area!"

"I was looking for a coffee spot to try for today, I saw this name & had to come here. I had a bottomless coffee & a delightful treat. I have to mention the House-made Gooey Butter Cake first. OMG, it was so good. I would definitely have to limit myself on those, they’re that good. The coffee is wonderful too; had a medium roast with half & half. The people working were very nice & great with helping me with any questions. They have comfortable seating on the inside & a nice patio area outback. They have a fire pit. I recommend coming here if you’re wanting to grab a coffee & a delicious butter cake."

"Some of the best coffee and food in the area. Excellent service, atmosphere, and down to earth staff won me over and keep me coming back year after year. It's a place every respectful person can feel accepted and respected. They also have one of the most amazing patios for cocktail sipping."
