A Local Favorite Since 2007

Founded in 2007 by Jessica Lenzen and the late John Caton, Benton Park Cafe & Coffee Bar grew into a welcoming spot for locals and visitors near the Benton Park neighborhood. Located just steps away from the Anheuser-Busch Brewery, it became a place where good food, fresh coffee, and community meet every day. The mission has always been to bring people together around the table with a menu that feels both familiar and fresh.
