Protagonist Cafe St. Louis, Missouri

Protagonist Cafe is located at 1700 S. 9th Street, St. Louis Missouri  63104 . It's coffee shop/ used bookstore and the vibe is inter-ethnic, local, and literary. The signature tea blend titled Royal Treatment was up lifting. The interior, which I forgot to take a picture of, is wall to wall book shelves and mostly young coffee drinkers reading books. It has a private library feel, as if we were on a college campus.
