48 Best Cafes in St. Louis

“I have had a lot of food from Loafers over the past few years but never had enough information to write a review! They serve a more cafe-style menu during lunch, offering amazing soups, sandwiches and salads. I have eaten lunch at Loafers many times and loved every experience. During dinner service, they serve their amazing pizzas, which I only got to experience for the first time recently. We went with another couple and ended up getting their spinach pizza and their seasonal pizza, which had far too many elements to name. Both pizzas were amazing. The service was great, though they did seem to want to turn the table quickly, understandably, as they are quite busy constantly. Highly recommend this space, as it is not unreasonable prices for the quality and quantity of food and service you receive.“

“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. 😊“

“We loved Have a Cow! Very cool atmosphere, great food and very friendly staff!! Will definitely go back!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Went here on a Sunday as soon as they opened up. Can’t say I’ve ever eaten such home cooked food from a restaurant before. Their roasted potatoes were crunchy but melted in your mouth as soon as you chewed into them, their qofte was so flavorful and moist, the Mediterranean omelette was SO GOOD. Olives in eggs are a new add-in for me, but so good from here! Will definitely be going back!“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“I ordered their happy wrap with mayonnaise,lettuce,tomatoes, onion, veggie burger tofu, ketchup, and avocado. If you have a low spice tolerance don't get it. But for me this was a 100/10!! The flavors came together so nicely. The food was all wrapped up securely. It was the best thing I ever had.“

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

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

“literally walking in i just feel like so cozy so calm it’s like a warm hug !!! their food is absolutely impecable (especially their sweets such as the cinnamon roll) and they serve (imo) the best vegan burger in the world, covered in magic sauce, coconut bacon, and a rich veggie patty… thank you sweetart!!!! 🌈💖🌸💐🍄🥥❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜“

“Terrible parking but great food.“

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

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

“Executive Dining’s food is delicious. There is always a good variety of food available from comfort food to classic sandwiches and snacks to healthy options. The portions on the fresh food are substantial, you certainly get your money’s worth. They also work very hard to make sure their setups fit in your break room and look nice and updated.“

“They have good food in my opinion and it is reasonably priced. The beef I have with them is you never know when they will be open. The web connection gives their hours but you can't go by that. On 4 different occasions I went there & they weren't open! They were supposed to be according to their store hours but they were closed! Once I went there & they were inside and supposed to be open but they weren't. I tried the door & they just looked at me with a look like "what do you want?" So my advice is to call before you go or you might make a trip for nothing!“

“Great family atmosphere! Excellent fine dining.“

“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.“
