As David Letterman once said, “If it wasn’t for coffee, I’d have no discernible personality at all.” If Letterman ever visits Cape Girardeau, we’re pretty confident he’d be happy with his caffeine options – and so will you. Our city is home to some of the freshest cuppa joe you’ll ever encounter – from cozy corner coffee shops to custom roasters to baristas who turn coffee making into an art form.

We love supporting our local businesses. Supporting them during the COVID-19 pandemic is even more important. You can find more details about how to keep our community strong at our #keepcapestrong website.

Let us help guide you on a tour of places to get your caffeine fix.
