“This place is a nice gem, but they have some work to do. Their nitro cold brew is delicious and so is their iced coffee. They have some various baked goods and other food options. The staff didn't seem to know how to explain the menu or what ingredients were in the specific drinks. The staff also couldn't tell us what the WiFi name or password was. I think it's great that Granite City has this option. I hope that this business continues to thrive, but please teach the staff about the menu and drinks.“
“The Luna Cafe is a small but friendly place.It's kinda historic. I don't think they serve food anymore, I could be wrong about that though.Is it a destination spot? No, but if you find yourself in the area stop in and have a few.Oh, bring cash, no cards accepted.They do have an ATM you can hit.“
“I’m a regular here and frequent during the warmer days, this place right here is like no coffee shop I’ve ever been too. If you have time please check it out, there is a Starbucks the same distance away maybe even closer and I go out of my way to come here because of the fantastic coffee and staff.“

“I recently visited Have A Cow Cattle Company and overall had a great experience. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was cozy and inviting. However, I did notice that after the checkout process, there wasn't much interaction with the staff. Despite this, the service was still efficient and the food made up for any lack of interaction. I would definitely recommend trying their dishes and enjoying the peaceful ambiance at Have A Cow Cattle Company. I would give them 4.5 stars.“
“The staff are SO kind and welcoming + hands down the BEST matcha in St. Louis! Every time I visit, they make me feel at home and are so kind and sweet. They have plenty of delicious vegan food options, a clean and adorable sitting area, and an insanely good range of tea. Absolutely 12/10, six stars!“
“Russell’s on Macklin is such a staple. It has a cozy and relaxed ambiance with a fireplace offering locally sourced American cuisine.Located in the Southampton neighborhood of St. Louis, it’s a family-run restaurant that prides itself on warm hospitality and mouthwatering dishes reminiscent of home-cooked meals.From their homestyle cooking to freshly baked goods, Russell’s on Macklin caters to both the brunch & dinner crowds. The menu features elevated versions of classic American favorites, highlighting the best seasonal ingredients available.I had the broccolini salad and lump crab cake. Both were delicious. I also shared in the cheeseboard.Don't forget to indulge in their tempting gooey butter cake.“
“I really loved my time here. The staff was very friendly and approachable. They were more than happy to help with games or menus questions. The overall atmosphere was very laid back. My guest and I were there from about 4 pm to 10 pm, and no one pressured us to order anything. They kept our water craft filled and occasionally popped in for friendly conversation. Their color coded flag system at the table is an Ingenous idea to alert staff to your needs. I really appreciate not having to scan the room like an anxious child looking for my server and begging for eye contact so I can flag them down. If you are someone with severe social anxiety like my guest, this Is a pretty solid place.Vegetarian options: The vegetarian sloppy Joe sliders were very good.“
“This is my overall favorite place for coffee in St. Louis. Every cafe has their strengths but this one makes for my overall top rated cafe. Quality service, food, beans, and creativity on their menu all at a good price. Their bottomless drip is just a dollar more than their large, which is very good value!“
“I am ashamed to admit from the get-go...our food looked so good when it arrived at our table we dug in before taking any pics! Ugh. Once I thought about it I had done enough damage to my salad and plate it wouldn't have been very appetizing. I will say this though...Valentine's Day, sneaking out for lunch with your sweetie, 65 and sunny, AND Union Loafers tees you up for a great day! Happy Valentine's to all and thanks to Union Loafers to making our day even more special. Ambiance is always fun, loud place. We each ordered a chenin blanc, the little gem salad with beets (my favorite salad in STL!). My wife ordered the Turkey Swiss and I had the Bistro Beef. Everything was just outstanding. Of course a loaf of semolina to go. Service was great as always, place was packed. Love, love, love Union Loafers!“
“I have been looking for a place that serves like a Cuban coffee shop, and I stumbled upon this place. I feel like this place is underrated because you would pass this time so quickly while driving through Gravois Street, but don't pass this place up and check them out!There are two stories in this shop, so there is plenty of space for all the guests considering studying here. I love the wood-styled table and chairs; it is a gem!I ordered an iced cafe latte and then the chicken panini.I highly recommend this place, and the service is fast!“
“Cute and clean with phenomenal food! I don't understand why this place isn't packed with people!! You can tell they put so much love into their food! I would eat here every day if I could! Hatch'd is a few buildings away and they always have an hour wait for Saturday brunch. This food is just as good if not better if you don't feel like waiting!“
“My wife and I stopped by this morning before a four hour drive home for breakfast. I had the smoked pork chop with eggs and a biscuit, my wife a vegetable omelet. Both were fantastic, the portions were large and the prices very reasonable. The service was great. Highly recommend.“
“I absolutely adore this spot! I got the iced oat latte with hazelnut and a half focaccia sandwich. Everything tastes fresh and delicious! I want to go back for the gelato. They have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. It has a modern look to it. The baristas are also very kind and helpful! What a cool coffee spot to visit!“
“So I used to live next door to this place.I had a fiance who was up to no good and pocketing the rent.When our antique row fairy tale ended they bought our building and expected me to pay some undisclosed amount of back rent (pay the rent again sucker! Yeah.sure.)instead of communicating what was going on from the beginning.I now still am unsure what I supposedly owe or how it affected my credit but I basically can't rent anywhere.Fun stuff.Anyway the hipster staff is snarky snobby and rude, but its comical to observe and that absolutely is part of its charm.Its a show.100% The coffee is THE BEST coffee I have ever had.I don't know what it is about it but man...it is VERY good.Amazing.The food is also amazing.Its an adorable place.I am embarassed to go there though I should simply be pturbed but yeah.I never have the money to go out for fancy coffee anyway but yeah...its good.Very good.“
“This restaurant is one of my favorites. Not only do they serve regular food, but they serve some of the best desserts I've ever tasted. When I tasted the desserts, I couldn't believe they were vegan. My favorite was the sweet potato cupcake. It was so delicious. The service was a little slow but they were pretty busy.“
“After a fantastic hike with the Black People Who Hike (BPWH) group, Anita's Cafe was the perfect refuel spot! Their brunch collab with Honeybees Biscuits was a winner. The biscuits and gravy were comforting and delicious. The drinks were just what we needed to rehydrate. I'm excited to go back and try their Mediterranean menu!“
“The charcuterie board I ordered was phenomenal!!! Also the best slice of key lime pie you will find in St. Louis (the owner makes it homemade!)The owner was so sweet and helped each of us at the table pick wine that we would enjoy. Thank you for the hospitality ?“
“Bought a pack of cookies at the Festa Italia. We tried one cookie, then another, then another.....OMG these are some of the best cookies I've ever had. So, of course, we went back to your booth and got another box of cookies. Next time we're in St. Louis we plan on visiting the cafe to buy lots more to bring back home to Chicago.“
“the friendliest staff you will ever come across . I personally think they beat Starbucks . I have recommended them to everyone I know and I will continue to do so. I am up there enough for all I have to do is call when they answer the phone they know my voice and my number and automatically know what I want. cannot say enough good things about their coffee their food and their staff absolutely amazing“
“Coming from out of state, we were looking into a few bookstores to check out while staying in STL. When we arrived, we were surprised to happen upon the open mic night that had just begun. We really enjoyed our time listening to each heartfelt artist who shared their music with us. The drinks we got were decent and they had a nice selection of books too. Regardless, the open mic night ended up being our favorite event of the evening. It was a very wholesome experience. Shout out to the dad and daughter Duo, Mixtape Romance!“
“Very nice French bakery in St. Louis. They had an assortment of pastries, macaroons, and other baked goods. They have limited coffee but many teas on their drink menu. I got a slice of the raspberry almond tart which was incredible. There are a few tables to eat inside, but I took to go. Lots of street parking close by. I’d definitely stop by again when in the area.Parking: There is a lot of free street parking in the area. There are some locations that are restricted during certain times.“
“We visited this spot today. If you're looking for somewhere cozy, this is it. The "library" selections were very intriguing. The food tastes were on point. He had the chauvinist pig and I had the pulled pork nachos. Yummy yum yum. we will be back. Oh and covid 19 vaccination enforcement, was real. I can truly appreciate that. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. The patio area was spacious and clean. I can't wait to visit again. thank you for being so polite.“
“The wife and I love Espresso Yourself. The environment is nice and relaxed so you can enjoy that first sip of the day. They have a wide menu too with lots of fun varieties and flavors. I love that they have popular latte ideas because it helps when I’m wanting to try something out of the ordinary. Their banana fosters cold brew with the coffee cubes is 11/10. We have even gone on busy days (today during the race) and the baristas were super nice, helpful, and greeted us with a smile. For a line our the door, everything moved so fast and our drinks were done quickly. Check this neighborhood spot out for your next pick me up and you will not regret it.“
“This place has been in business for 5 years. West siders are going to say this place is on the West side. Northsiders are going to say this is on the North. Im from North so it's on the Northside. Lol Either way, I finally decide to stop on thru and was rewarded with some very good tasting food. They are known for their homemade ice cream and for selling breakfast all day during their operation hours (as of this review, they are closed on Sundays and Mondays) On the day I went it was too hot for me to get ice cream as a togo item so I got :Breakfast plate with salmon Croquet 3.5/ 5: 2 nice sized patties that were well seasoned ( too well season for me but I can see how the majority of their customer base would like them this way.Egg over easy 3/5 good but the yolks wasn't running like it supposed to bePotatoes 5/5 smothered potatoes; best ever I had from a restaurant hands down Wheat toast; 3/5 I would have prefer white bread. Im going to ask next time if white is an option. Plain Stirfry : 5/5 noodles and sauce were on point .portion size was huge They have a loyal neighborhood customer base and the food is cooked to order; so there will be a wait time.If you are on the North, check out Ari's !!“
“Discovered this sweet space while looking for a work break between meetings in the Downtown area. Free Parking, ample space with plenty of workspaces to drop your laptop, and set up for a "working lunch hour." Friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere for ALL!“
“Lovely atmosphere, though it's a bit small. I found seating somewhat limited as business picked up, so be prepared to stand or take-out during busy hours.I ordered a chocolate croissant and an iced matcha latte. The croissant was to die for all around, but I found that the matcha tasted a bit too milky.Overall, would recommend if you're looking for a cozy café experience!Parking: The parking was a bit inconvenient, but that's to be expected when you're in the city. There was a two hour parking lot shared between the local restaurants located behind the café, and some street parking and on-site parking. Nearly all of it was full when I parked.“
“A wonderful experience, starting with the lovely ladies behind the counter, and extending to the great little grocery store attached to the restaurant.But let's be real, you don't come here for the ambiance, you come here for the cevapi! And boy does it deliver. Expertly cooked sausages, lots of raw onion, banana peppers, and sour cream. As usual, bring your appetite or be prepared for leftovers... the sandwich is about the size of your face!If for some reason you're still not full, there is a full service bakery to satisfy your sweet tooth. And the Bosnian coffee is top notch as well.“
“Excellent service each time, which always makes a difference when you eat out. Delicious food, my go-to are the "2 for you" options. Salads, soups, and sandwiches are all delicious. Some items are not worth the price IMO, such as the pancakes. The tables in the far back can get loud, long wait times during brunch.“
“Had one of the yummiest burrito bowl I have ever eaten. It had grilled mushrooms, grilled red onions and grilled yellow corn served with a ball of mashed avocado over jasmine rice. It was priced at $15. Also had a very tasty chocolate chip cookie.“
“Visited Road Crew for the first time today! Great, open atmosphere inside. The bar staff was helpful and kind. They responded amicably when I asked for more dairy in my cold brew. The cold brew was strong, bold, and held up to this heat! Bonus fact, I saw TWO dogs during my visit!“

“Ukraft has been a live safer living downtown. Great place for a healthy early morning breakfast/smoothie. They are also one of the local restaurants partnered with One Cardinal Way apartments where they provide discounts to residents of the apartment building which is awesome. Definitely recommend, Ukraft is the best breakfast/lunch spot downtown!“
“This is what we've been waiting for! Coursed menu, elevated experience from start to finish. These young chefs is going to go far and I'm here for all of it! Located downtown, the outside isn't much to look at, but as soon as you enter, you're greeted with the modern and stylish yellow and gray decor. Counter Seating and a few Tables on the perimeter shape the room. Staff is friendly and you can tell they put so much into their Service. For this restaurant, you reserve your seat online ahead of time and pre-pay the meal. My first visit was for Brunch on 9/24, the 10a Seating. 4 courses, starting with Shrimp n Grits, then French Toast, then Asian Croissant, then Honey Cake. (See Photo of menu for details). Overall, amazing!! I added the cocktail pairing which was a Mimosa and a Coffee Martini, both excellent. My only point of feedback would be that the menu was Carb forward and really could have used an Egg or Veggie forward dish as Course 3 to break it up, but all of everything tasted amazing. The restroom, yep, it's a Vibe too and very Clean. I'm motivated to come for Dinner and will be back soon!“
“My best friend and I book a date at The London Tea Room every month, or so. It’s a gem, and we enjoy every moment we’re there.The atmosphere is charming and the staff is top notch. We always end our visit with a friendly chat in the gift shoppe where we’re greeted with delightful conversation about the latest tea flavors and best goodies to take home.Five stars just isn’t enough for this little piece of British charm.“
“Great spot for coffee, avo toast, and/or a pastry. Even better when the weather is good enough to sit outside. A short wait to order and receive your order, but worth it.NOT recommended to work or read a book, as people are aggressively trying to get seating throughout the day.“
“Such a cute tea shop! Everything we had was delicious - avocado toast, steamed buns, cookie, and tea. Everything's vegan. The muffin was the best vegan muffin I've ever had. Staff is super friendly, and the interior is really nice. They've got a long list of tea selection, and loose leaf tea to take home, too. Very comfortable place to sit and work! Highly recommend.“
“The food here is memorable! I love the ultimate egg Benedict gluten-free bread. The coffee was good, the vibes were warm. I gave service a 4 because a glass of water was forgotten and we had to change someone down for coffee. But they were kind about it and responded quickly. Maybe just need to check in with customers a tab bit more.“
“Neighborhood spot. Good Drinks. They have two bars. I have hosted political functions here and birthday parties. John and his wife have refreshed the decor and it's nice. Too much Sauce - chicken and etc. Restaurant connected to them. Eat Up!Check out their calendar, they have 2 step nights, poetry slams, karaoke. Etc.“
“This coffee shop is such a cool little place to grab a great coffee or tea with an excellent selection of bites. It's lively but not loud so the perfect place to meet up with some friends and hang out or simply get some work done! A real gem just around the corner from Grand Center.“
“Hello All,We have been driving by this Billie’s Pastries for years. Each time I would say I am going to stop in and try the doughnuts. Well today was that day. I must say they did not disappoint. The doughnuts were delicious. Full of flavor, fresh and simply delicious. I highly recommend you give them a try. Nice friendly environment where you can gather to share a cup of coffee, read the paper and reminisce. They also serve hand dipped ice cream.Blessings and Love!??❤️“
