“We frequent Teleo Coffee with our family after moving to St. Louis. As a European, in my first months living in the US, I visited so many coffee shops where I could feel the cozy atmosphere and smooth, delicious coffee like in my homeland, and I found it here. This place has become like a second home to me, especially thanks to the friendly baristas and owner of the establishment. This is the very moment when you come to this cute house with a huge bright veranda and they greet you and call you by name. They also participate in donations, helping different organizations during certain periods with a small percentage of drink sales, which is amazing!P.S. Barista Sarah recommended the Lavender Vanilla Latte to me on one of my first visits, and I've been kind of addicted to this latte ever since. Highly recommend. Thank you, Sarah!“
“We came here 10 years ago and remember the custard being amazingly smooth and creamy, but we didn't feel it was as good today. Also, it is a lot of chaos, and we stood in a line for 5 minutes before realizing it wasn't a line. Finally, there are no benches anywhere for people to sit. There were a lot of people propped up against cars or sitting on the road curb.Service: worker was really fast& friendly with a fully staffed kitchen for the huge crowd. The lines moved pretty quick.“
“We were in attendance for Monthly Girlfriend luncheon. Only 1 of us 4 had visited Hendel's in the distant past and she chose the restaurant. You don't see a lot of truly warm and cozy restaurants nestled within the neighborhood that's prospered. The food was good and service was excellent and as we have visited restaurants month after months, it's obvious that cooks aren't same. There is space for indoor & outdoor eating with limited parking. Nice afternoon luncheon experience ?Parking: Free parking in rear where u have a short walk from vehicle into establishment, but if full being that it's sitting in residential area, one can park on side street, no meters, & without inconveniencing residents.Kid-friendliness: Kids were running around where we sat indoors but no one seemed disturbed by their antics ?“
“I hate that we discovered this place because now we can’t stay away! All the flavors are delicious, you can’t go wrong with any. Service is always friendly, and their hours are magnificent! Prices are a little steep but the quality is there and I’d rather get that.“
“The food was excellent! Perfect temperature for everything.I think this place is MUCH better than the BBQ place down the street.The restaurant itself is very simple. But, the food & service is so much better.The owner came by at the end of our meal to make sure we were happy & that speaks volumes!Try Smoke & Bones!“
“Great little ice cream shop. Good amount of seating. There's also a beautiful park with benches across the street. We all loved our chosen flavors: maple bourbon, coffee, honey lavender, and blue moon. Great service!Definitely will be back when we're in the area again.“
“So glad this place exists in St. Charles! The frozen cocktails are delicious and strong. Narwhal's has the best drinks out of all the frozen cocktail places I have been to which includes places in Colorado, Florida, and other places in Missouri. The 40oz fishbowl is totally worth it! You keep the fishbowl and if you bring it back then you get $5 off refills. The staff is knowledgeable about the ingredients in the drinks like what type of alcohol is in them, etc. They also let you taste flavors before ordering them! Overall Narwhal's is a fantastic place to get drinks!“
“Adorable Indie vibe-a nice change from the big coffee chains. I ordered a French Kiss coffee and it was awesome! Very very clean. The chocolate chip cookie was OK.....kinda like a grocery store cookie. Adding some more baked selections would be great but all in all a nice little find. I'll be back.“
“What a fun steampunk themed place. The copper bar top is a nice aesthetic choice. The beer is varied enough to have something for most beer drinkers. Pair that with a good selection of beer/wine making supplies and a helpful and friendly staff, and you have yourself a winning spot.“
“Born and raised in Belen, NM (although I now reside in Minnesota), I dream of New Mexican food on a daily basis. While visiting St Louis, MO with my family we found this gem of a diner. I had the huevos rancheros (Christmas) and it was amazing. Our server, Nicole, was kind and attentive and our food came out in good time! The owner was seating people as well as cleaning tables as needed. The quirky decor totally made me feel like I was back home in New Mexico! I would definitely recommend this place!“
“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.“
“The breweries cellar serving up some of the best beers made in the world. With an ever changing draft list and an extensive bottle list from the cellar on top of the private and personal experience the small but unique space creates, you are bound to have a great experience. The staff is great and incredibly knowledgeable.In addition my favorite experiences are the multiple special events they have a year serving up their more limited beers.“
“The staff at Failoni's were amazing we came in with a large group of 25 and not only were they able to accommodate us but they also provided expert service. On a busy day at the restaraunt they got all of our orders out together and very quickly... the restaurant had a great Midwest vibe with friendly people and would highly recommend to anyone looking for amazing Italian food.Parking: Plenty of parking along the street on both sides“
“We recently got a big order for a little shindig we were having. The people were nice, the process was smooth, and the food was an absolute hit. We have been here a number of times and will continue to but this was such a positive experience I had to leave a review :)“
“I had the appetizer of hummus with toasted bread so good. The ribs were so tender and juicy and let’s not forget the turkey, excellent. The food, the atmosphere, the staff and the owner are amazing and super friendly. I definitely recommend it. Oh almost forgot the mac and cheese.“
“This restaurant has outstanding Italian cuisine. The food is delicious and its presentation is pretty as well. We went there on a Saturday evening with friends and had to wait around 45 minutes. I don't know if they take reservations in advance. It is well worth the wait though.“
“These are the brewery vibes you're looking for... The beers are top notch and Brewligans is only $3 (12oz) or $4 for a pint during STL City matches. The staff is always genuinely friendly and the sandwiches at TriState are clutch. I've been here 100x and happy to have them in my neighborhood - it's worth the trek from anywhere in STL!“
“This is the face of a VERY happy birthday boy. The driver was professional, and very kind to the children. Multiple people around the area were excited to see the ice cream truck too. He did our party and other sales. How he managed that I will never know. Because the kids were coming in left and right. I was excited that this business had sonic the hedgehog ice cream. But they exceeded my expectation on the variety of treats. We purchased bracelets for our party guests so the driver could know they were with the party. It worked out beautifully. I was actually able to purchase extra sonic the hedgehog ice creams and snocones! I will definitely be using them in the future. Great reasonable price and so friendly.“
“Great tacos and dessert! A very rich flavor, the meat is soft, they don't have a lot of salt, the dessert is not overwhelmingly sweet either. The flavors of each dish contain a lot of balance between each other. ❤️ The tacos have a very well combined taste with lots of balance within the ingredients. Not too salty and not too sweet for the dessert. Very nice service.. they brought the food to our car since it was pickup..❤️“
“SO CUTE! The iced mint matcha was solid and the inside and outside aesthetic is adorable, clean, with a vintage decor flare. The greenhouse and garden area makes this place more than a coffee shop, but a cute afternoon activity! I’m excited to come back?“
“The best restaurant in Saint Louis. The food is so flavorful. I tried the gnocchi and the tofu dish and it was the best tasting dishes of those type I have ever had. You might require a reservation and the space is a bit limited, but the staff is very accommodating.“
Brewery • $
“Always friendly staff, recommending different beers. Great atmosphere very laid back. Different events with the brewery are so great for the community with the garlic fest & tomato and the brewery classes. Very well thought out events for kids and adults which is great. The shop is cool if you're into home brewing or no someone who is.“
“Best brewery in the world for me. Very cozy place. I am a fan of your creations. These guys make every style of beer well, from lagers to extreme high gravity beers. Special attention to their BA stouts and BWs, unparalleled barrel work. I plan to go to their festivals every year.“
“BEST VALUE for your money. They are a little bit short staffed, and, can be a bit of a wait. However, once you get the food, it's hot and DELICIOUS authentic Asian food. If you don't like the wait, you may order on the phone.I love it here , Vicky the owner is the best, and, so is the food in this small restaurant. Also, the bathroom is the back since it's an old Taco Bell store. Everything else is EXCELLENT.“
“At first we weren't sure we were at the right location, but then spotted the sign. Great little place, we got a chicken pita and gyro with drinks. Fast, tasty, friendly, and good prices. There was a nice sitting area outside which we were lucky to have perfect weather for.The chicken was moist, the pita was warm with a little crisp, they were generous with tomatoes and onions, and the sauce was pretty good. Altogether very tasty, would recommend that, and the gyro was similarly great. If you're hungry, you can opt for a big boy instead of the standard size, but this size was perfect for lunch for both myself and my husband.Parking: Parking was easy to find on Friday afternoon.“
“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“
“Drive past this place all the time and finally stopped. Love that they serve Dole whips. The custard was super light and fluffy. I am definitely not a custard expert but I really enjoyed the texture a lot. Large menu with a lot of options and helpful staff. Fair prices.“
“Peace Love Coffee is absolutely the best vegan restaurant in the entire St. Louis area! I’ve eaten pretty much everything on the menu and most of the desserts. Everything is delicious. I usually order the chickpea of the sea sandwich with a side of chili. The desserts are out of this world delicious and moist. We have brought most of our family here and they love it too! The service is as good as the food. I can’t say enough good things about Peace Love Coffee.“
“Had chicken enchilada soup + walleye fillet for lunchSoup, fish and fries were very good.Went at 1 PM CT and It was not crowded at that timeService was very good and we were promptly served.Overall a very good experience. Thank you.Parking: Plenty of parking spots during lunch time since Dance Academy is not open at that time.“
“Love the Malt Shop and thrilled they have opened for the season! A simple hometown kind of burger and ice cream stand, they serve up a fantastic orange freeze, root beer floats, concretes, sundaes, shakes and tasty apps and burgers. The staff are friendly and enthusiastic and make ordering a breeze once you settle on your delicious choice. There are a couple seats close to the building, but most of the time we eat in the car or take food home. Go and enjoy a refreshing treat or try the pork fritter sandwich. You won't regret it!“
“Sugar and Slice is my absolute favorite bakery. They made our wedding cake and dessert bar for our wedding reception. The desserts are so delicious and we’re such a big hit. Everyone complimented them and loved the dessert bar idea. Sugar and slice was so easy to communicate with and handled last minute changes like adding our dog to the cake. They did an amazing job and were so much fun to work with!“
“Our server was great and the food was amazing!! Came here for my husband's birthday and we were both super happy with our overall experience. The lighting was dim and it felt very cozy. We had the charcuterie board, the crab cakes and one of the flat breads. We definitely are coming back and would love to try their patio seating once it warms up!“
“Had one of the most amazing Omelettes I’ve ever had while picking up some equipment downtown today. Don & Lisa are diamonds and we enjoyed every second. If you’re anywhere near here, run, don’t walk & go get a breakfast or brunch. They even had a wonderful coffee and hot sauce bar. Highly recommend the smoked Salmon. Amazing!“
“I came here this morning for a Sunday brunch and to explore a new coffee shop in town. I love the space! It is very inviting and a great spot if you are looking for a place to study and enjoy good food. I ordered an iced caramel latte and the breakfast burrito. I enjoyed the burrito, but the iced caramel latte needed to be stronger in flavor and have less milk.The coffee shop itself has plenty of indoor and outdoor spaces. If the weather is nice outside, enjoy it with the outdoor spaces! I highly recommend this spot for a chill-axing moment.“
“I’m giving everything five stars because the food and beer were good and the staff excellent, save one a-hole manager. Basically we were there on a busy running club night, and as a family of 4 having just arrived to St. Louis looking for dinner, we popped into Heavy Riff to give it a try. We waited in line with everyone else at the “front counter” and a lovely female bartender waited on us and let us know we could grab a table and then she’d help us on the side of the bar where it’d be less hectic for us to order (since we had kids in tow). This was very thoughtful and accommodating of her in the masses of young runners. We met her there and she offered great advice on what to order for kids (spice levels) and as a vegetarian. We were about halfway through ordering when Rick (I got his name later since he ruined the vibe of our experience) butted in and told her she was supposed to be taking orders at the front counter not side bar (about 4 feet away) and said she had to get back there. By his command she had to leave us hanging to wait for the “proper” bartender to take our order which was a few minutes later. He didn’t offer to help. Meanwhile as the staff was slammed with orders this Rick jerk just stood in the back and reined over the staff. He didn’t lift a finger. Even later when I went to settle the tab at the bar he stood at his throne position in the back scrolling, messaging on his phone. (Super unprofessional) I was standing right next to him and he didn’t ask if he could help me. I sure hope Rick isn’t the owner because if he is I would hope employees would quit. Rather, to the owner, it is time to find yourself a new manager as Rick is useless and frankly ruined the good energy we had going. I felt for the staff that had to deal with his power trip. Though we are staying fairly close by, we won’t be back.“
“Everything was amazing, great service, friendly staff. The pulled pork simply melt in your mouth, the Gumbo was so good, and you guys have an excellent and wide variety of beers, definitely we are coming back soon, thank you for one of the best meals ever! ❤“
“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.“
“Love this place! Celebrated a birthday with a cute breakfast turned brunch. The drinks were delicious. The ambience to die for. It is completely IG/TicTok worthy. And the staff was so incredibly nice. Our waiter was outstanding. Probably some of the best genuine service I’ve ever received. I wish I could remember his name to give him his credit. I only deducted a star because they were out of the ingredients dish my friend wanted and the bacon and cheese potatoes were a bit over charred. But overall the food was delicious.“
“Great little ice cream shop. Good amount of seating. There's also a beautiful park with benches across the street. We all loved our chosen flavors: maple bourbon, coffee, honey lavender, and blue moon. Great service!Definitely will be back when we're in the area again.“
“I went to grab a pick up order on Wednesday March 27, I had had a bad day and the bartender could not have been nicer!!! Her kindness meant more to me than she will ever know. Also the food was phenomenal and the margaritas were excellent will be back for sure!!“
“Great bar to enjoy delicious pizza and drinks and play a wide variety of pinball. The owners are awesome and always there to make sure their machines are in tip-top shape, and it's CLEAN!!! If you enjoy pinball, you should consider joining their league! Everyone there is friendly and welcoming. Their sister bar (The Silverballroom) is a must visit too!“
“I had a great experience at this spot! The food was absolutely delicious and staff were friendly. The owner is a humble, down to earth guy. He shared with us the care and precision that goes into finding and processing the best quality ingredients for customers, which blew me away. I would definitely recommend checking them out!“
“The pretzels are delicious! They are warm, soft, buttery and have just a hint of sweetness. There are some great dips but they are so good I prefer them just warm out if the oven. This visit we had the pepperoni pizza pretzelachee. It was filled with cheese and pepperoni and a delicious sauce with just the right amount that it was not messy.We placed our order ahead of time and it was ready when we arrived fresh out of the oven. Also picked up two party packs for a family Easter party. We warmed the bites in the oven for about 3 minutes and they disappeared in about the same amount of time. Definitely my favorite pretzel of any found in the area!“
“This is an awesome place. Brother in law took us out here, got there right before they closed. It's a nostalgic place, you park and then walk up and order, there are lots of metal benches and tables to enjoy your treat. So creamy and delicious. So many options to choose from!! Will def be coming back.“
“A lovely place. Gives opportunities to those with disabilities. Great for the community. Really nice baked goods as well. Just have to ask to see the tray. Skip Starbucks and give this place a try. Prices are well below avg for market.My order:Iced Mocha 20ozBlueberry muffin - homemadeGooey butter slice - homemadeTotal with tax - under $10“
“When I travel I am always looking for interesting restaurants to visit. Hello Juice & Smoothie is one of the good places where you can buy healthy food in Saint Louis. Here you can order delicious açaí bowl with fresh fruits and local honey. I highly recommend to try THE “
“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.“
“Fun local bar. If you're looking for a cheap friendly spot to grab a drink or watch a game this may be a decent spot. All of the folks at the beer seemed like regulars and they were all very friendly. There is also a full-sized ping pong table that was free to play so our group had some fun playing each other while enjoying our drinks.“
“I had my husband's 80s themed 40th birthday at two plumbers event space and we are still getting compliments on the venue a month later! The owners were great and easy to work with and responded to questions very quickly. I will definitely have more events here in the future!“
“My spouse and I celebrated here. She had the Shrimps and Grits and the Berry Goat cheese salad. I had the Grilled Salmon and Lobster and sausage gumbo. The waitress and the chef were very courteous and pleasant. We had the bread pudding with better pecan ice cream, and the death by chocolate cake and ice cream. It was a blessing?“
