50 Best Cafes near Des Peres

“The time i sit down, order, have a drink of coffee, my food is there, quick and fast and very delicious. My server name is Mary, exceptional waitress, friendly, funny, good person.“

“So, my wife and I just about ruined the weekend on our way to Nordstrom trying to decide on a place to eat. We arrived at the store still undecided and noticed the Cafe Bistro. We checked out the menu and wandered in. Great food! I had the crab macaroni & cheese - nice sized portion and some real crab chunks, not mush out of a can. It came with an arugula salad on the side. Equally delish. My wife had half of an warm Asian glazed chicken salad - I couldn't imagine the size of a full!! The quality of the food was top notch and the price was reasonable. I don't come to this store often, but I'll find an excuse to come next time!!“

“There is something about being in a bookstore that opens the mind to ideas, interest and creativity. Great store and friendly people along with an incredible selection.“

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 ❤️“

“Amazing food! Affordable pricing... a must try“

“Such a great breakfast experience at Brew & Bites! The coffee was delicious. I had an iced vanilla latte. I also ordered the breakfast burrito with green salsa and sour cream, and it was SO good! The green salsa was the cherry on top.

My husband had the strawberry crepes, and they tasted heavenly. 🍓 We also had the chance to chat with Juan, who was incredibly friendly and made us feel so welcome.

Great food, delicious coffee, and even better service. We’ll definitely be back for another round before we leave.“

“Seriously the best donuts I have ever had!!😍“

“Glad I found out about this place-smoked salmon bagel and mocha frappe were so good. Can't wait to go back!“

“Wow this place was amazing, I cannot wait to go back next time I’m in town!!! The menu was a unique take on brunch familiar brunch items. Everything sounded so good it was tough to decide what to get. We all got different meals to share and all of it was delicious! And pretty big portions, oh it was SO good. I had a medicinal mushroom coffee tasted great and had me feeling great all day.“

“Our family loved it. It’s a cute little place with delicious (and aesthetically pleasing)treats, and the employee was very friendly. There are tables, seating for 2 mostly, and K-pop which my daughter also loved. We’ll definitely return!“

“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!“

“Living Room has THE best coffee and breakfast in St. Louis. But that’s just what gets you in the door. What keeps you coming back are the amazing staff, inviting vibes, excellent work stations (for those of us who wfh but need to have people around), and community engagement. Seriously, they have the best cortados, seasonal drinks, and bacon. But they are also vegetarian and vegan friendly and have a great selection of teas and other drinks for weirdos who don’t drink coffee. I love knowing that visiting LR means my money is going to a family-owned small business who invest in their community and put people over profit. 10/10.“

“A small and wonderful Boba Tea cafe with smoothies, coffees, sparkling juice sodas, bingsu shaved ice desserts and more! They have games to play in the cafe. Everything can be customized on the order screen- type of milk, how much ice, variety of boba, sweetness level and more. Just tried their chocolate bingsu— amazing! And seasonal hot coffee was great.“

“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.“

“On July 12, got two orders of the hot honey chicken tender sandwich. They were overcooked and were hard and dried out. The last time I had them, they were cooked just right and very tender. Lately, I feel it is hit or miss.“

“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!“

I am SO EXCITED that they are moving close to my house in the Affton area. Just this morning (May 8, 2026) I checked at the new location and saw three signs on the windows with new shop hours and a couple of phone numbers! YAY!!!“

“This was my first time eating here. The food was amazing and the staff was super friendly and helpful! Just an all around wonderful experience!“

“It is a relaxed environment. Always fast courteous and friendly service. The only thing that I did not like the last time that I was there was the fact that I could not find a way on the get up and go paying system to change the amount that I had entered for the tip. It is possible that I missed it. I did look repeatedly and did not see a way to go back and change the amount of tip that I entered without totally backing out of the program and going back in. I just figured a dollar was not worth the stress. All I wanted to do was add $1.00 to the tip amount. Oh well.“

“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.“

“I enjoy dining on the patio. Healthy menu choices. The food is always delicious..“

“We had a great time playing with the cats and kittens. Go see them they are wonderful and well taking care of.“

“Found this place on line and decided to try it. I was pleasantly surprised how good it was. Great food, atmosphere and service. The thing I liked most was the prices were very reasonable with appropriately sized meals. I had the 3 egg meat lovers omelet with bacon, sausage and ham y cheddar cheese for $12.45. Delicious.
I will definitely be back.“

“I had a hot Pistachio latte and zaatar croissant. They were both delicious! The baristas were super friendly, knowledgeable and everything was fresh! The inside is beautiful and the seating is plenty so I stayed and did a little bit of work on my iPad. I will be going back and recommending everyone I know to go there as well!“
