50 Best Cafes in St. Louis

“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.“

“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. 😊“

“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.“

“Our service was AMAZING and the food was outstanding!“

“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.“

“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 ❤️“

“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 🐾❤️“

“Best coffee in st louis- in my opinion... and those empanadas?! I think I have tried every flavor- they are all fantastic.“

“I am so glad I decided to try "something new" while in St. Louis for a doctors visit ! EVERYTHING was absolutely DELICIOUS, FRESH and HOMEMADE ! Super satisfied and highly recommend !“

“Rudest employees in the coffee house business. Only person who is friendly is the Boss or owner can't figure it out. Act like they are doing you a favor for being awake.“

“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“

“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!“

“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'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!“

“The best work lunch ever!“

“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!“

“we have been here a few times since we moved up here in October and it is one of our absolute favorite spots. we drive 30min to come here even though we have plenty of closer shops. ❤️❤️“

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

“Really nice place with a great meeting space and gallery space. I’m“

“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!!!“

“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!“

“This place is really great. Wonderful food and very nice people. I particularly like the Ali Pash!“

“Terrible parking but great food.“

“a great place for friends to game, professional team building, you name it. loved it there. the art deco interior is beautiful.“

“I like the variety of meals they offer. The “right bites” meals are usually very solid. I appreciate that they started offering more high-protein options for those with stricter diets. My only suggestion is that they should offer condiment packets outside of the package so we can pick based off of personal preferences.“

“Great food, clean fast and affordable. Love the service. I will be back“

“Let me just start by saying I had never heard of this place before and now that I have went, I would love to go everyday. The service was wonderful. Food was superb. I had the shrimp and grits. It was so creamy and delicious with flavor in every bite. I also ordered chicken wings with fries. I did not want to add hot sauce or ketchup because it was seasoned this for the Gods??????. They can definitely have all my monies. Been looking for a place with grits this good since Breakfast at Barney's in atl. So happy I found this place.“

“Quiche was amazing served with mixed greens“

“Love the food, owner and everything. It is a great place and would highly recommend. However, I would recommend against using the online order feature. Everytime I travel I come here, however my last visit I tried to order one more time before leaving. My flight was earlier than expected I attempted to cancel well before my meal was even made and I was charged the full amount. I tried to contact through email and Instagram and no response. Maybe this was just a one off in terms of customer service. I still love the place but was disappointed after a month no one contacted me back nor gave a refund.“

“My wife and I always start our Saturday market shopping here. No better way to start than with a Bloody Mary, Pomegranate Margarita or both! Always friendly and quick, makes you want to stop back by to grab one for your walk home. Saturday morning Soulard tradition.“

“The loaded potatoes and coffee are to die for. Now open evenings as well. Feels like home.“

“The food is delicious!!! Best Cesar salad I have ever had! And the chocolate chip cookie was so good as a desert!“

“I come to WashU often for work, and Kaldi’s at Mid Campus Center has become a staple stop for me. It’s super convenient for a quick coffee or smoothie in between meetings. Drinks are consistently good, staff is friendly, and service is pretty quick even when it’s busy. Definitely a reliable spot on campus.“

“I love the Circle at Crown Cafe. Terrific food at reasonable prices. Great people.“

“cold brew and a chocolate chip cookie!“

“I eat here often bbq tips are fire, chili 🔥and the potato salad is off the chain. Go find out for yourself. You get your money worth“

“I had such a fantastic experience at Companion today. I ordered the Kung Fu Panda salad, and it was delicious. The combination of textures and flavors was a real treat, and you can tell they use high-quality ingredients. The pretzel roll on the side was warm and perfectly chewy. It was a perfect meal from start to finish. I'll be back soon!“

“Beautiful place. Excited to try their night time cocktail hour.“

“I don’t know if it’s because I’m pregnant or I’m just obsessed with it. Sometimes I eat it twice a day and I get exactly exactly same thing I would get half-and-half, the broccoli cheddar and the green goddess melt which I’m really upset about because they just got rid of it like two days ago.“

“Visited Road Crew for the first time today! Great, open atmosphere inside. The bar staff was helpful and kind. They responded amicably when I asked for more dairy in my cold brew. The cold brew was strong, bold, and held up to this heat! Bonus fact, I saw TWO dogs during my visit!“

“Always wonderfully tasty food!“

“First time going and loved the vibe/decore!!! Met the owner and so enjoyed her and the hospitality!!! Definitely will be going back!! The food/drinks/music was so enjoyable!!!“

“Great family atmosphere! Excellent fine dining.“

“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.“

“Love all the cookies, especially the amaretti cookies and the baristas are so sweet and helpful.“

“Looking for a place to eat and get a bit of work done in the Central West End? This is it. It has a modern mid-century vibe with a lot of tables. It definitely gets crowded after 10 am on the weekends. Go early to get a spot. I enjoyed the breakfast plate, with sweet potatoes. They also have delicious smoothies. If you are looking for a Starbucks alternative and want more food options, this is your place.“

“Had a wonderful experience! Delicious coffee and nice staff!“
