St John's Coffeehouse
About This Spot
Stepping into St John's Coffeehouse feels like entering a gentle pause along a bustling street corner in Covington. The warm hum of quiet conversation blends with the soft clatter of cups, crafting a space where the pace slows just enough to savor a moment to yourself or engage in easy company. It’s a neighborhood refuge where the crisp aroma of fresh espresso mingles with sweet hints of toasted marshmallow syrup and the subtle tang of strawberry foam swirling atop an iced matcha, inviting both curiosity and comfort.
The atmosphere strikes a thoughtful balance between lively and laid-back. Mornings here bring a welcoming buzz as familiar faces stop in for their first cup, greeted by the friendly baristas who seem to know everyone's name and favorite order. Families, friends, and folks seeking a quiet nook with a good book settle into cozy corners or around sunlit tables near the entrance where the street’s rhythm feels just outside reach.
More than just coffee, this is a place where everyday moments quietly shift into something a little special—a shared smile from across the room, the anticipation of savoring a chocolate raspberry square alongside a carefully crafted cappuccino, or that gentle wave of warmth from a freshly brewed café au lait on a cool afternoon. The menu, crafted with care, offers a thoughtful blend of comforting classics and unexpected twists, inviting guests to explore familiar flavors alongside seasonal surprises that keep the experience fresh and inviting.
St John's Coffeehouse is a thoughtful pause, a community hub with a mellow, welcoming vibe that feels far removed from the usual corporate rhythm. It’s where locals and newcomers alike find their rhythm—whether it's a quick recharge or a slow, unhurried moment in the heart of downtown Covington.

So glad we stopped here for a bit of refreshment on a weekday afternoon before an evening commitment. Cool street-corner shop, plenty of parking behind the building and on the street. Menu features classics and creative concoctions. We had the Chicory (black) and the Iced Matcha with Strawberry Cold Foam! Right now they have an indulgent spin on an affogato (ice cream, espresso, brownie, whipped cream) that sounded so tempting. We also had a roast beef sandwich out of the case, and it was solid. Chill space, friendly staff, quiet and inviting, great for a quick stop or hours camping out with a laptop, book, or board game. We're from out of town, otherwise this would become a regular haunt for me!

We stopped in for a coffee. We got an affogato and an iced lavender latte. Both were delicious. Service was speedy and the atmosphere had a nice vibe. This is a nice break from the chain coffee shops.

Great little mellow coffee shop. Staff is super friendly early in the morning. That's such a great way to start the day. And prices are very reasonable here. So glad i stopped in instead of having the usual corporate chain coffee.

I stumbled upon this coffee shop in downtown Covington. I was looking somewhere to have a coffee and read a book, and this couldn't have been a better place! The batista was more than kind, and the seasonal latte I ordered was delicious. Spent about an hour there, during which I saw families with small children and families with well-behaved dogs all welcomed to come in.

A quiet coffee spot on a Sunday morning. They have all the usual coffee beverages and some frozen drinks, too. The bacon, egg, cheese croissant sandwich was great.

Simply. The. Best. Been going here for 20+ years. Now that I live out of town, I look forward to my visits back and St. John’s is one of the top reasons for those visits. The coffee hits, the snacks are lit and the owners rock. Thank you St. John’s for all the consistent coffee through the years, can’t wait to get my next fix.
