“I went here yesterday to try it out, I love an independently owned coffee shop! Fantastic! Great menu with interesting drinks, they do decaf so I got a dulce de leche and it was delicious, not overly sweet. Next time I was to try the Ethiopiacchiato (I think it’s called). Very kind welcoming service. Nicely decorated, great music selection…. Vibes all around. I think I might make it a biweekly work space.“

“Friendly service, delicious food!“

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

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

“Brew & Bites Cafe made a strong first impression with its great food and inviting setup. Even though it was very busy during my visit, everything was nicely displayed, and the place clearly has a lot of appeal. I ended up ordering food to go, and the breakfast burrito was outstanding—easily one of the best I’ve had.

There is definitely an opportunity to improve the experience with additional staffing and more available seating, especially during busy times. Still, the quality of the food made the visit worthwhile, and I would absolutely recommend Brew & Bites Cafe to anyone looking for a great breakfast spot in St. Louis.“

“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.“

“I have gone three times and tried the authentic Korean dishes I have been wanting close to home for so long. I love the foos and I can’t wait when new items appear.“

“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.“

“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.“

“My family has been going to OR for close to 15 years? Since they were at the original shop over in Clayton by the Schnucks.

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!!!“

“Seedz has gained a loyal fan base in their beautiful little neighborhood. Vegan delights created seasonally with local ingredients are so delicious! Dedicated, friendly staff. Ssshhhh! best kept secret in town!!“

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.“

“Really good tikka Masala and flaky parathar!“

“This was my first time at the Creve Couer location. It was great sitting outside. The table was a little sticky but the food was good, it was quieter outside than in. Our waitress was very positive and knowledgeable. She checked on us a couple times.“

“Second time Here this place is so good. Lamb kebob is unbelievable how delicious it is. Highly recommend this place you will love it !! Easily one of my Mount Rushmore of places to eat in Saint Louis!!!“

“Love the Pho here!“

“Amazing owner! So sweet and personable. I forgot my phone in the bathroom and she came three hours after closing to help me get it. We live out of state and were panicking. Absolutely grateful. She also makes amazing looking cupcakes!“

“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!“

“Ate at Cafe Smoke Shack recently. The food was fantastic. Service was excellent and our waiter was very attentive. Giant portions, well prepared & we were all extremely pleased with our meal. "Stan, Matt & Marlowe were charming and cordial to all. The owner (Matt/Chef) is one of the nicest and most hospitable folks you'll ever want to meet. Truly cares about his customers. Stay clear of Bill... Why you ask? He was a smug, rude & a disingenuous individual. Brought in six (6) people & spent over $300.00 with no other customers dining that day. He acted like he did us a favor. All of the other employees were wonderful.“

“Warm relaxed atmosphere..“

“The Perk is one of the best things about MoBap! I love going there, seeing the awesome people that work there, and getting some awesome drinks!“
