“Serving up traditional food that can delight our family, with a taste for our late Lola's cooking, AND a crowd of first-timers to Filipino flavors, I can't sing enough praises for STL Filipino Bread...though, I can try, thanks to the karaoke setup they made happen as part of a big family party we recently hosted in their shop.Food: Wonderful, whether you're a newbie looking for an accessible place to sample a variety of traditional dishes, or a Filipino foodie giving your own rice cooker a night off...I definitely recommend stopping by for takeout and baked goods!Service: They're always happy to help you find exactly what you're looking for on a daily basis, whether you're looking to grab a quick lunch or grab enough food to host a gathering. At the aforementioned family party---we couldn't have pulled off a celebration of a lifetime without all of their hard work to make it happen! The space was decorated to the nines, and every need we had leading up to and during the event was met quickly and with enthusiasm. Leah, Mary Beth, Anna, and Kuya Jojo felt like part of the family!Ambiance: Perhaps one of the most fun parts of STL Filipino Bread is how it is a "one stop shop" for items of cultural significance. I'm so thankful this place is here and helping share Filipino culture and food with the St. Louis Area!“

“Excelent service, never had a better drive through experience I think the cashier's name was Asia. Perfectly communicated the menu items to me as I has a hard time seeing due to my visual impairment. She was so patient with me and the food was “

“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 went to Ukraft off Clayton for brunch for the first time on Easter Sunday. It was fully staffed, and the service was exceptional. Everyone working was friendly and seemed genuinely happy to be there. The food and drinks were wonderful as well. Thanks for the great experience!“

“This is an amazing find in Frenchtown. The food is great. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. The owners are an amazing couple who have led the charge to revitalize Frenchtown and promote commerce and community activities. Great space for a meal or event. They have also done catering orders some corporate lunches I have held and they have been a hit each and every time. Be sure to try the chocolate chip cookies.“

“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!“

“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.“

“This place is worth a try if you've never been. They have a huge amount of donut options. I enjoyed the butterfinger chocolate cake and the m&m chocolate cake flavor. My ham egg and cheese on a whole wheat bagel was hot and fresh. My husband says that the burger was mediocre, but he really loved his glazed donut. Friendly staff as well.“

“This place is amazing! The kitties are so cute, and the work the cafe does is great. The place is clean and inviting. I would highly recommend getting a reservation. You get a complimentary drink with your reservation or a discount on other things. This is a great place to spend an hour, plus you get to hang out with adorable kitties! ?“

“Amazing espresso drinks ( of course!) The best breakfast burrito I've ever had...thin crispy-just the right amount of- wrap with a delicious blend of flavorful and fresh ingredients inside.Dietary restrictions: Good variety of choices for those who are gluten free/need gluten friendly.“

“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.“

“We were very well served, everyone was very friendly. The latte was delicious and our dishes were very tasty. The only problem is that it's a small place and when it's busy, you can see the pressure to leave your table quickly, from the looks of the customers in line.“

“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.“

“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 brunch place. I appreciate the table service which was excellent. The menu selection was varied and I was very pleased with my selection of half a salad and half of a sandwich.Wheelchair accessibility: Zero grade entry. Tables and accessible bathrooms.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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 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“

“I drive 20 miles to buy my Jasmine milk tea with fresh brown sugar boba and 50% less sugar because , it is the best I have found in a 40 mile radius. Excellent service, friendly, delicious drinks and the macarons are out of this world especially the red velvet. Business is right by the tailor shop. Try them.“

“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“

“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!“

“Do Telva’s Turkish Eggs think about me too?But seriously.. I wake up and go to sleep thinking about the delicious Turkish Eggs and all the other incredible food at Telva. The service is great, don’t be intimidated by the line because it moves quickly. The ambiance is fun and be sure to walk off your extra order of Turkish eggs in the nursery below.Walk ins only but you can order ahead. Parking is street parking.Did I mention to get the Turkish Eggs? ? “

“Met up with a friend today at one of my favorite brunch spots, First Watch. We went to the one located on Streets of St. Charles. Their fresh food, juices, and eclectic menu makes it so you can always try something new. They have specialties each month, and I suggest you go before the end of February and try their barbacoa chilaquiles breakfast bowl!! Today I had the morning meditation juice and the barbacoa chilaquiles breakfast bowl. The breakfast bowl was a party in my mouth! The braised beef barbacoa mixed with the eggs, beans, and other seasonings. My friend opted for the Italian Inspired omelet. You can put a reservation in online prior to arrival on busy days (like Saturday). The wait was not long this morning, and the food makes the wait worth it. One thing I like about Fresh Watch is the continuity across the chain in that regardless of which restaurant you choose the food is always good and fresh. Great service. Stop in and check them out…try something new!“

“We were here for breakfast. We ordered a power wrap, tomato basil soup, roast beef and havarti, and broccoli cheddar soup. Everything tasted good. We loved the ambience and the waiters were cordial. We didn't have to wait a lot of time after ordering food. Also, check their coffee.“

“The server had great recommendations and was patient with my while I made the hard choice of choosing which delicious things to try.I got the butter squash pizza (pictured), a Fruitz juice and a chocolate chip cookie— all were so delicious!!Great job Seedz!!! Vegans and non-vegans will love this place! Yum!!“

“Visited the daily bread yesterday for the first time. Cannot wait to go back! Great service, friendly staff, clean surroundings, and great food! Their salads are huge, their sandwiches use the freshest meats, and their desserts are really difficult to pass up!“

“Awesome. Best burger I've had in St. Louis. This was my first time here. I do plan to go back. The portions are a good size. The person I was with couldn't even eat all of her food. It became obvious they have regulars. Every other person who came through the door was greeted by name. Great place highly recommend.“

“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.“

“We made a trip to St. Charles, MO in August 2023 to ride the Katy Trail. The Bike Stop Cafe was the perfect choice to help us with the trip. They were so helpful in so many ways. Jodi got us to Clinton, MO for us to start our ride back to St. Charles. St. Charles is a cute little town to stay in, so many shops and restaurants right by Bike Stop Cafe. We also got to enjoy a lunch one day at the Cafe and the food was amazing. If we get to ride the trail again we will without a doubt use Bike Stop Cafe and their services again.“

“I was staying nearby and got the chance to walk over to Colleen's for breakfast before starting my day at work. I was warmly greeted despite all the snow on the ground at the time. It didn't take long to receive my order of a chocolate croissant and Americano with vanilla and half and half. The Americano was good but I've had better. The chocolate croissant was very flaky and delicious but I really wish I would of asked if they could heat it up a bit. That would of been the chef's kiss!“

“My parents live in Kirkwood, so we've been coming here for breakfast for years. The service is always awesome and the food is consistently good. A caveat of this is that there's almost always a line/wait, but with quality like you find here.... that's just another indicator to us that it's really worth it. Cute place too! We love it!“

“We arrived early on Sunday morning to try a new Pho restaurant. They prepare each bowl fresh upon ordering, which makes the process a bit slower, but I appreciate the attention to detail. The Pho was not only delicious but also offered a satisfying balance of quality and quantity. In addition to that, we ordered a boba smoothie; the owner customized it perfectly to my preference for less sugar, and it was delicious. We will definitely return and recommend this place to our friends.“

“Place is always popping on a weekend morning but they offer a waiting list online to put your name in to help shorten your overall time. Food is always amazing and we love the coffee refills! Everything is decently priced and even when it's crowded you get your food pretty quickly. First watch never disappoints “

“We love meeting up with friends. Food is great and plentiful! We have .et up at various locations. All good.Vegetarian options: Always accom.odates food allergies or preferences.Dietary restrictions: I have a diary allergy, and they are very helpful.Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible for walkers, cane-assisted, or wheelchairs.“

“Great breakfast sandwich! I mean perfect. Wonderful croissant with real egg and real cheese stacked and I mean stacked with crispy real bacon. Coffee was perfect as well and the staff is friendly. Best part of all, they openly profess their love for Jesus Christ.“

“Very efficient ordering system. The line is to go to the counter and order your meal. Once you’ve ordered, you will be seated and your meal will be brought your table.Food quality was excellent. We enjoyed a novel quiche , and a large portion of avocado toast.The desserts are on display as you are waiting to order, and we were tempted by a chocolate caramel pastry with a nut crust.Parking is easy, and prices are reasonable.“

“I made it a requirement to return and sample other dishes on the menu after my initial meal here. I've probably been here three times in the last two weeks. I strongly advise including the vegetarian patty along with the salad (P22). In addition to being a good value for the money, the salad's crunchiness complemented the tasty flavor of the hand-made patties. The majority of the menu items include a vegan option, and they range from smoothies to soups and bowls. The service is excellent here. If you're looking for a quick bite, they're happy to answer any queries and the turnaround time is rapid. The atmosphere is excellent. The site is hidden behind an AMC theater, but once you enter, you'll notice the indoor seating, refrigerated beverages, and a menu with a list of the large variety of food they provide.“

“This is such a great brunch find! Unique menu full of locally sourced ingredients. Fresh pressed juices and fabulous coffee bar. The ambiance is eclectic, warm, and inviting. The restaurant follows an admirable quality of sustainability and carbon footprint consciousness. There is a taproom and cocktail lounge Thursday-Saturday evenings featuring local singer-songwriter focusing on Americana with occasional blues and jazz. The taproom boasts handcrafted cocktails and pints from locally sourced breweries. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable about their menu. It's definitely become a family favorite!“

“Looking for a hearty breakfast and well made coffee to set me up for full day on the Loop and surrounding area, and this place hit it on both. Had the Bruno on everything bagel with extra bacon and it was chock full…maybe even over generous on the eggs, but I was happy about that. Chilled atmosphere made even better by the eighties tunes they put on whilst I was there.“

“First watch is the best breakfast place for a hot cup of coffee in the morning. Their food is always good and service is always efficient. Their coffee comes by the pot and is refillable and they offer so many breakfast options with decent portions. I always end up leaving full with leftovers “

“I recently dined Clover & The Bee and had an amazing experience! The atmosphere was so quiet and relaxed, it was the perfect spot to unwind. But what really stole the show was the food and drinks! Their chocolate martinis were to die for - rich, creamy, and utterly decadent.But what really impressed me was the service. Our waitress was so attentive and knowledgeable. When I mentioned I had gluten intolerance, she went above and beyond to investigate which dishes included gluten and suggested alternatives. She even double-checked with the kitchen to make sure I was safe.On top of the excellent service, the food was delightful! Overall, I'm so impressed with Clover & The Bee. The combination of great food, drinks, and service makes it a must-visit spot. Can't wait to go back!Dietary restrictions: They offer gluten free crackers in lieu of the pita with the hummus.“

“Grande Burger is worth the price. Do not hesitate. No gristle or bones in these burgers! The first time there were jalapeños which was delicious. Ask for them if you want them. Pick up service is quick. The hard shell tacos are yummy too. One time they were flour and the next time corn so it is lovely to get a variety and have this choice. (Later learned hard shell flour is chalupa not taco. Chalupa shell is a little heavier than a fried flour tortilla.) The Steak Fajita King Burrito is so large it could feed a family! Super tasty and made less messy which is another thing to appreciate. We just started ordering here and plan to make it a regular staple in our rotation. Typically do not get along with restaurant food but *this food* must be built with love!“

“Glad I found this place! I was in search for cafes and this popped up in the search results. Looked amazing from the pictures and more amazing in person.Tried the minis! Since I couldn’t commit to so many large chocolate options.I did get the large raspberry lemon one. I’m a chocolate fan, and this one blew me away. The frosting was yummy and the cake is soft and moist.Thank goodness this place is far from me.Friendly lady at the register. They have cakes and ice cream options too. Dangerous ?Please make one with lavender and lemon!!!!!“

“Though this is a small establishment with a limited menu, they excel! I’ve visited 4 times in 2 weeks and keep trying the same dish. The spicy pork belly rice bowl has me in a choke hold. It’s the perfect thing to warm you up and the flavors are so developed and complex for such a simple dish. I also love the spring rolls with beef and shrimp. I’ll definitely be returning.“

“Best cafe in Clayton! I order boxed lunches from them for meetings all the time! So easy and effortless to order. Food is incredible and the brownies in the lunches everyone RAVEES about! Love the chicken salad sandwich and the cranberry walnut chicken salad! Always so fresh and healthy!“

“People here are very nice but it seems they are so used to their script and laying it on so thick that when a person walks in and just wants to see a menu they get confused.I am in town on a business trip and I have some dietary limitations so I wanted to see if they had menu items that fit my diet and my expense limitations. It seemed like I made the woman's head explode when I asked to see a menu and after the fact she kind of made me feel like she thought there was something wrong with me.The rest of the experience was nice but the older ladies there lay it on pretty thick with their interactions with you. The younger ladies seem to be a bit more real with you. I don't fault these ladies for working super hard for their tips and I applaud them for doing so because it must be super exhausting for them because the level of effort they put in to it is extreme.The prices are reasonable, the people there are nice, and the food is good so I would definitely recommend this place.“

“My wife and I came to know of Russo’s through the venue we are using to get married the woman helping us with everything quit I believe anyway it took longer then expected to get in contact with whoever the new person was going to be after getting in contact with our new representative things started moving along“

“I went to Hearth Room Cafe for a bridal shower. We had three choices for food and I got the West Coast Club. It was very good! However, my sister got the Chicken Salad Pie and I tried a bite. It was soooo good. I want to come back and get that next time! The servers were very friendly as well.“
