50 Best Cafes near Maplewood

“I took my 2.5 year old here because she loves cats-we had a great time! A lot of the cats are rescues and need space-I wouldn’t recommend this for grabby kids. The staff is all extremely friendly, we got to give the cats treats, and they are all adoptable! Your ticket price also includes a free cafe drink which is really cool.“

“This has been one of our regular spots for a long time. Food is great and the coffee is even better. I love the big outside sitting area and the whole atmosphere of the place. We almost always get a scone and one the yogurts each week. The service is always kind and helpful and we have never had anything but a positive experience here.“

“Went to St. Louis for the first time and found this gem! Everything I had here was yummy! The staff here is super friendly which seems hard to come by nowadays. Definitely stop by if you’re in the area!“

“My dad had been telling me about this place since you all opened and this is the first time I got to experience the deliciousness for myself. Dad had a burger for the first time that he can remember and I enjoyed the BLT! highly recommend!“

“Great local restaurant with excellent service and great food.“

“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!“

“Staff does a great job keeping up. Definitely recommend checking whatever signature drink they are offering at the time. I tend to be a one trick pony when it comes to my coffee order but I am never disappointed when I go out of my comfort zone and try their suggestions. Seating upstairs is a hidden treasure. My mom came from out of state and wanted to come because of how accommodating and patient the staff was.“

“I cannot express to you how much I love this place. The shop is locally owned and operated by a family. They are the friendliest people. Their Ethiopian macchiato is my favorite drink. It is rich and authentic. I have tried their mango smoothies and just had a frozen coffee drink today. The quality of their espresso is best in class. Highly recommend trying if you appreciate "real" coffee. They offer punch cards if you want to be a frequent customer and receive a free beverage after so many visits. The shop is clean. Good ambiance if you have work or studying to do with free WiFi. Only positive to say about this venue.“

“Great handcrafted sodas and sandwiches (although a bit heavy-handed with the spicy mustard on the pastrami sandwich)! Service was top notch, the workers were very patient with us even though we were there during close. They were also sweet enough to give us free cookies!“

“Best coffee in Soulard! Live music on Saturday’s! Try the Goat Toast! It’s the best“

“I consider myself a donut connoisseur, and I've had donuts at several of the popular spots around town. The Sweet Spot's donuts are among the best in town. I'm a big apple fritter enthusiast, and I really enjoyed the style here. Tons of apple bits and great cinnamon flavor. The strawberry cheesecake donut was superb, as were the old fasioneds and the glazed chocolate cake donut. 10/10 I'll be back the next time I'm in north county.“

“loved our experience! we booked a private room and loved the ambiance. our server Scotty was very attentive and made it a great evening. food was delicious. my picky eaters loved the pizzazilla“

“EXCELLENT food, family run, welcoming experience. We'll definitely go back“

“Friendly staff and Gelato made fresh daily and AMAZING! Definitely planning to try some baked goods on our next visit!“

“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.“

“Best coffee in st louis- in my opinion... and those empanadas?! I think I have tried every flavor- they are all fantastic.“

“We got the breakfast burrito, the mushroom and spinach hash and a refill coffee. The coffee my wife said was delicious. The hash was ordered without pesto but it came with pesto, so we got to try both, I preferred it without, she preferred it with. If you love pesto get it, otherwise if you want to taste the other ingredients order without the pesto. The breakfast burrito was ok but nothing special, the vegan chili seems more like a chipotle sauce then a chili.“

“First time here and the service, food, cleanliness, pricing, location were all excellent! Celebrated a grandson's b'day and it was perfect! I love that they give you an option for spiciness (0-5) since I'm a 0 and opted for Orange Chicken. I'll be more adventuresome next time. LOL Great restaurant all the way around!“

“Loryn Nalic continues to be a gem in St. Louis with this new concept Telva at the Ridge in Webster Groves.Telva means grounds left at the bottom of the cup. Ask for the fortune telling pamphlet so you can read your grounds.We had the cilbir, Turkish Eggs, served with garlic yogurt, tomato-chile brown butter and herbs. For“

“I decided to try this place out before heading back home. The food was amazing! My server was very attentive. The inside was also very nice and the booth was comfy. There was a 30min wait, so I suggest getting there early.Parking: The parking lot seemed like a comfortable size and there was no issue getting a spot.Kid-friendliness: They have coloring menus for kids and automatically give them a cup with a lid.“

“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.“

“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 ?“

“The kitties were adorable, the staff lovely, the price great. I was only disappointed that there were cats I couldn't get to because they were caged or high up. But I totally understand kitties need their space. Also, we weren't allowed to pick them up, which was disappointing.“

“I read the reviews and I totally agree - best bubble tea I've had in STL. You can customize sugar WITHOUT getting a weak drink. They have tons of fresh additions - like fresh taro in your drink. My ube milk tea had actual fresh ube in it, so delicious, and I'm happy I can enjoy bubble tea without essentially drinking cups of sugar. The chili BBQ curly fries and potstickers are delicious.“

“My friend and I have been coming to STL to try different coffee places for quite some time and this has got to be top 3 for us. Anita was super friendly and helpful right away. Food was amazing and presented really beautifully and the coffee was delicious. The inside is adorable and felt really homey and comfortable!“

“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.“

“I got there and my husband described it as a dog going to the dog park jaja ja. I had a blast, bought plant varieties I hadn't seen before. Prices were reasonable for the variety of plants and healthy. Loved it and will be going back soon.“

“Just ordered delivery for the first time here and we loved it!! Everything was prepared well; the croffle is heavenly, rice crispy chicken was moist and fried well, and the Okonomi Toast was a delightfully different comfort food addition to breakfast. Will be eating here again, frequently!“

“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“

“Solid breakfast sandwiches and great coffee!“

“Great food, a little on the expensive side but definitely worth going“

“Very fast, very friendly. I ordered at the kiosk and it was very easy. The descriptions of their special drinks are a bit confusing to order, but I asked the lady behind the counter and she was able to help me. I got a taro bubba tea and a strawberry cheese tea both were yummy and the bubba had a nice texture“

“LOVE this place. Amazing French/Creole fusion bakery. I make sure to hit it up every time I'm in St. Louis. Lots of fun themed celebrations, like Juneteenth, Harry Potter, Mardi Gras, Macaron day with special themed menus. You can do high tea time here. Highly recommend their wedding cake taster box to try lots of different cake and frosting flavors. Their savory stuff is amazing (as well as their sweet of course). Get there early because they run out quick daily. You can order ahead online but some of their unique offerings can only be purchased in store. Amazing drink selection too, including boba teas and coffees. They also have pre-packaged to go items.“

“I stopped in here for brunch with my girlfriends Saturday morning and what a cute spot! I'd definitely recommend joining the waitlist at least 30 minutes prior as it was VERY busy; we did so luckily we only waited maybe five minutes before our table was ready. There was also plenty of parking out front of the street and additional parking on those side streets throughout Clayton. Between our table we had the fruit salad, biscuits and gravy, pancakes, the BLT and various lattes and everything was so good. Shoutout to our waitress, also, she was such a gem and very attentive. This is a great brunch spot and I'll definitely be back!“

“What a fun name. Today was the day to sit out in their patio and there was plenty of space. A lot of positivity coming from staff and they were so helpful explaining options. The nitro cold brew was good and delivered on a wood tray with tiny creamer and a glass of ice we requested. It was in a neighborhood which added to the family friendly vibe.“

“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.“

“I've enjoyed visiting this fantastic restaurant a few times with my friends and family. The food and desserts are delicious and genuinely capture the essence of home-cooked Filipino meals. This restaurant is also unique because it is a small market where you can purchase Filipino goods and traditional clothing such as the barong Tagalog.Adding to the charm of this place is a karaoke set-up at the front, creating a lively atmosphere for those who wish to showcase their singing skills. The staff, with their warm and welcoming demeanor, always greet guests with a smile and provide exceptional service.Overall, this restaurant is a must-visit destination for anyone who wants to experience the authentic flavors of Filipino cuisine and immerse themselves in Filipino culture.“

“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 !!“

“They have to be using some of the most high quality ingredients in St. Louis. I’ve tried their rose tea, pandan flavored latte, bibimbap and the steamed buns. Everything was extremely well made and delicious. The bibimbap comes as a large portion in my opinion. I appreciate the leftovers every time.The sesame steamed bun paired with a rose tea latte is ?‍??Dietary restrictions: Vegan“

“This is our 2nd custom cookie order and they were amazing. They make the process so easy and communicate throughout the entire customization process. From design to colors to theme, they provided guidance the whole time. And the price was amazing for the quality of product we got. We even had to make a change 2 weeks before pickup and they accommodated it right away. Thanks for making our kids birthdays that much better!!“

“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!“

“Our waitress was friendly but a bit overworked. The Italian Wedding soup was horrible. No flavor, no Italian sausage and full of barley. The roast beef sandwich was good but had wilted greens on it and we didn’t like that. The ham and cheese sandwich was good. The atmosphere was a bit noisy.“
