Cafes near Clayton

“If you’re looking for a great cafe in Clayton, for a girls get together or birthday gathering or just want a night out for dinner. This restaurant was fabulous. The foods were delicious and the cocktails were great as well. Even the coffees they offer are amazing. The waitresses and waiters are always cheerful and on top of their presence. We always look forward to coming here. They never disappoint. Can’t wait for the music series to open back up come fall.“

“As a long time customer of the Posh Nosh, I have to say the service, atmosphere , and food is impressive. The Rachel is my go to sandwich, however , any sandwich will satisfy any palate. The Matzo Ball soup and Chile are two of my favorites as well. Kudos to the new owner for sprucing up the restaurant.“

“Love this place! Great for all requirements! Super friendly staff! Especially the wonderful Jannette! Really tasty healthy food. Perfect for breakfast, lunch or a light dinner. Highly recommend!

Vegetarian options: Veggie wraps, sandwiches, soups and salads. Fruit, cakes, chips and other snacks. Wonderful options“

“Friendly service, delicious food!“

“Visited Have A Cow recently with a friend and it’s such a neat establishment. Great food and wonderfully friendly staff. Looking forward to my next visit.“

“My family and I are visiting St Louis and stopped in Cafe de Blaire for some ice cream. It was homemade and delicious. On top of that, the owner was sooo kind and warm to my kids. She gave me a sample of a coffee drink and it was delicious. I went back today for more coffee. The other worker was there and also very kind. I am a coffee snob and both drinks I tried were GOOD. We will be back tonight for ice cream. 😊“

“Wonderful and friendly staff in Washington locations! I love their coffees.“

“We love going to Mauhaus. The cats are very well taken care of and it shows. It's a nice relaxing area to hang out with kitties, have some good coffee and a light pastry. We recommend to all of our friends.“

“Attended a church conference in St. Louis and was recommended to check out this spot for some really good coffee — and it did not disappoint! ☕️ The coffee was delicious, and the staff were so friendly and helpful. We loved it so much that we placed an order to have their coffee shipped to our home! Bonus — you can even choose your grind. This will definitely be our new go-to coffee shipment! 💛“

“Unfortunately I couldn't stay long but I love the amount of tea options that Teatopia has. The person at the counter was super knowledgeable and made the tea how it should be prepared. I had the duck sh*t tea and he told me the history of why it was called that. Plenty of street parking abd there places to sit inside.“

“One of the few coffee shops nearby that's open past 4pm!

Went to this coffee shop while we were in town running some errands, and I'm glad we did! Hubby and I each got a Milkyway specialty drink and they were delicious. You rarely see coffee shops doing smoothies, so I went ahead and got myself a Strawberry-Mango-Banana and it was SO good. The fruit is clearly super fresh and the sweetness level was perfect. Service was also quick, the barista brought the drinks right to us at our seats.

Atmosphere is very quiet, but not in an empty way. There's chill music playing over the speakers, and it's at a good enough volume to hear but not so loud it distracts from conversation or work. Place felt super cozy and we'll definitely be coming back here next time we're in town.“

“We went yesterday after a hot but wonderful trip to the zoo. When I tell you the staff was probably the most amazing people I’ve ever come in contact with…I would not be lying! They were beyond friendly & sweet which is the best to encounter when you’re a tourist! The ice cream was top notch & I can’t stop raving about! Thank you for a great sweet treat ❤️“

“Sttopped in after shopping, wanting donuts for the next morning. well 2 didn't make it all the way home. Best donuts ever had. Tried fritter and glazed twists.“

“Breakfast was absolutely amazing! I got the burrito and nothing was left at the end of the meal! The mocha latte was SO good too. Cozy atmosphere and dog friendly patio 🐾❤️“

“My absolute favorite coffee shop! Great drinks, great food, great vibes.“

“Standards are set high and demanded. Local Europeans have enjoyed sports and best coffee years. Stop and enjoy currently Ice cream factory Premium sold in fabulous flavors. Creme Brulee with Latte iced or always a favorite. The roses still blooming as I text on the patio on a nite fall evening. This woman rates it a 5 star experience and come experience yourself“

“Cute neighborhood. Fantastic greenhouse & garden area. I could have spent all day with the plants. 🪴🪴🪴🪴🪴“

“we love this place! I've tried a few different teas, and so has my teenage daughter. I'm not a boba fan but she is, and they have something for everyone. got the pumpkin cream Halloween special today and I am IN love!“

“Friendly staff, relaxing atmosphere, and great coffee!“

“Best Bread I have ever had, and I have been chasing down good bread for 50 years. I have had six different breads, all great. But the trading pane and the sesame are my favorites. Splurge for the tempered butter, it is worth it. Fantastic salads and soups, too. And the smoked beets are to die for!! Worth it to go just for that.“

“Their Earl Grey tea is the best tea I’ve ever had! It was SO yummy- not too strong and oh so flavorful! Tea Perfection.“

“I've been going for some time now and I Highly Recommend you go today! I enjoy the Stir-Fry which is Fire! I'm on my way today for Lunch! Thanks for the Great Customer Service...Consistently! 😁 This your Favorite Customer from YB!“

“Who goes to a place named, “Damn Fine Hand Pies” and only gets donuts and cinnamon rolls until their third visit?? That would be this guy right here.

Damn Fine Hand Pies has a creative selection of donuts, which included some seasonal Girl Scout cookie donuts during my first visit. Despite these donuts looking as thicc as a fudge cheesecake on a cold winter day, the donuts were surprisingly airy — much more airy compared to donuts at similar donut shops in the STL area like Vincent Van Doughnut. So if you are typically a yeast-risen donut fan, don’t be scared off by the cake donut appearance of these Girl Scout donuts (even though the Girl Scouts are known to be one of STL’s most violent gangs).

- Best donut: lemon blueberry (seasonal)
- Most improved: cinnamon roll (new recipe compared to the first version I had in 2024)
- Biggest criticism: Price. The donuts and hand pies are among the priciest in the STL area. With a higher price for menu items, you expect high quality. They usually deliver on this high quality, but occasionally the price doesn't seem worth it.

Lemon blueberry donut > pumpkin spice cake donut with espresso glaze and chopped toffee > key lime handpie & cinnamon roll > maple bacon donut > apple cider donut > marble donut > s'mores handpie > Girl Scout cookie donuts“

“I love the various options. The food is amazing. The interior is beautiful and clean. Staff is friendly. The price point is worth the quality and experience!“

“Such a neat coffee shop and the avocado toast is amazing. Love the outdoor seating.“

“The food and drink are as good as the place is comfortable. (Thinking of the couch upstairs.) The owners and staff are friendly. They also enjoy good humor.“

“I have gone through all of the skillets twice and have had several three, four or even five times. Absolutely GREAT! Everyone!! And the wait staff? INCREDIBLE!!!“

“came in for coffee (which was amazing). loved the atmosphere and friendly staff so I decided to order food. I got the breakfast gyro, my wife got the Kotoleta (French toast). both were incredible! highly recommend!“

“We ordered Russos delivery to cater our wedding and they surpassed our expectations. For $1,000, we fed 80+ people and still had leftovers for days. Definitely ordered too much but that’s because we didn’t realize the subs were so packed with meats and cheese. Probably the best subs we have ever eaten. The pastas, fruits, cheeses, and salads were delicious as well. Our only disappointment was with the roast beef sandwiches which were lacking in the meat department as compared to the subs. But overall, a superb experience. We will definitely be ordering again as needed. Well done!“

“What a find! I was in town for a few days, looking for a place to read, and think! Each day I was warmly greeted and found the atmosphere to be peaceful yet busy and bustling! Beverage wise, the coffee and americano are all I can speak on— they were both fantastic and I plan to come back when I’m in town again! PS — Try the s’mores cookie!“
