The Coffee Cartel in St. Louis’ Central West End is a 24-hour-a-day coffee and dessert bar which also sells some sandwiches and liquors. This would seem to be the first 24-hour coffee bar I have ever encountered. 

I was in St. Louis for the Independent Music Market last Friday, September 9, and I spent some time in the cool Central West End neighborhood browsing in Left Bank Books and grabbing some coffee at the Coffee Cartel.
