Benton Park Cafe & Coffee Bar

I was excited to visit the new location. I’m visiting from Chicago for Mardi Gras to perform some music. I was looking forward to some cucumber mozzarella salad to find out that they were out completely. No problem, it happens. 🙂‍↔️ The waiter was friendly, but not really paying any attention to me or my order. Forgot my cold brew, napkins, condiments, and then asked ME what my order was at the end. Sadly, this is no longer a must do stop for me. Consider putting real strawberries on the Monte Cristo. 🍓 The food seemed just mediocre to me. 🤷🏼‍♂️ 🫤

Amazing food! The breakfast pizza is incredible. I haven't had anything that is bad.
Large portions, great wait staff, and baristas!

This is one of the coolest Cafe & Coffee Bars I have been too. The atmosphere is amazing and the decor is fabulous. I had an amazing latte & biscuits/gravy. The biscuits & gravy was delicious; the gravy had a hit of spice which made it heavenly. I had a wonderful waitress, Rose, who was/is amazing and helped me with both my drink & food order. She is very polite and astute. I highly recommend coming to this Cafe if you ever get a chance.

This was the best slinger I've had since I moved here. Jesse was an unbelievable server. Ask for her.

Solid food but lacking customer service. Prices are normal for these types of establishments but with the service lacking I wouldn’t consider it again.

Delicious food in a laid back, full of character atmosphere. Tasty omelets today. BPC hash browns are a must. On a previous visit we indulged with the decadent Monte Cristo and Benedict. Even the toast is great. If I lived in STL I would visit often.

Benton Park Café and Coffee Bar is a solid choice for a casual meal. It opens early on Saturdays and easily accommodated our group of eight. The ambiance is clean and pleasant, with good noise control, making it a comfortable spot to dine. Service was extremely friendly, but with only one server for the whole room, it was understandably slow. The food was good, and while prices are high (like everywhere these days), they felt reasonable for the quality. No major complaints, and I’d return, though it’s not a place I’d make a weekly habit.

Unfortunate experience. Stopped in for lunch and were seated fairly quickly. But that’s where it ends.

We were given menus and told water and silverware would be coming but spent the next 15 minutes watching tables arrive after us that were waited on while we sat ignored. The same two workers walked past our table three times without acknowledging us. Ultimately we left and walked to another restaurant in the neighborhood. We have dined here multiple times since moving to the area and were disappointed how today’s experience went.

I love it here

Love me some BPC. Lots of good food and local flavor. Try the loaded hash browns. For dinner even. They're that good.

Stopped in for a cappuccino while killing some time. Every staff member was very friendly and the cappuccino was delicious! I didn’t get to try the food, but the cinnamon rolls looked fantastic!

Good coffee drink selections, excellent chicken nuddle soup (!), and tasty turkey clun with some surprise ingredients. Relaxed but friendly service. Allow for extra time, but atmosphere is fun and eclectic with local artists pictures and paintings on the walls and available for purchase.
