Housed in a preserved 1950s gas station near Lindenwood University, the Brake Shop maintains the building's historic character while creating a bright, open coffee space. Original elements like tire racks now serve as bar-height counters, while Curley's racing slicks and the classic brake shop lettering on our tile bar honor the building's past. The café features a 2 Group Slayer Steam for exceptional espresso drinks, alongside our full coffee and food menu. With abundant natural light and comfortable seating, it's an ideal spot for both focused work and casual gatherings in the heart of St. Charles.
