“Nice urban Israeli breakfast, brunch and lunch place. In new redevopment district. (Craft Alliance is a few stores away.) Nice outdoor garden. Inside nicely designed semi industrial feel. Quite loud inside.

Vegetarian options: Most of the menu items are vegetarian with two exceptions - 1 a lamb pita and the other a shakshucka with lamb.“

“This place doesn't disappoint. I love there tea selction. The staff is caring and compassionate. Love how they give recommendations.“

“Traveling and just stopped for coffee. Was blown away by the charming atmosphere! And yes, like any real speakeasy, there is a secret which probably gets missed by most! Very cool! The owners are the sweetest and they have THEE best baked goods and fantastic coffee.“

“Protagonist has the best cheerful, cozy vibes!“

“I loved the Turtle Latte Omj“

“Friendly. Makes an excellent amaretto latte.“

“This place is just lovely. The staff are always so kind. I have a severe gluten sensitivity and they are so helpful. The staff knew what my choices were to eat safely. I really like the chicken salad without the bun (no chips) add lettuce & tomato on side / corn tortillas. The chef at the Eureka location is so kind to me about my special order. Thank you all who work there. I appreciate having a nice and safe for me place to get something to eat quickly. The atmosphere is nice to get work done or visit with others. I love their spicy chai tea. The pastry case looks incredible for those who can indulge - everyone will find something to love here. ⭐️🌷“

“What a lovely coffee shop! I am from Boston & have a pretty high standard for a good latte and ambience, but I was obsessed with this place. There was literal tiny trees inside and a super cool old bank safe room with a beautiful painting. They had some seating and big windows that let the light in excellently. Would recommend“

“The food is so good, hot and fresh. The fries are amazing, the ice cream is fun. Can’t wait to go back!“

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

“Years ago I ordered a coffee here. It was single origin that they prepare fresh. I asked for half and half on the side.

Five minutes later the coffee comes out and I say, “oh could I get that half and half?”

The barista looks at me sideways and says, “did you want to try it first?”

I mimed drinking and enthusiastically enjoying it, then said, “can I get that half and half?”

All this to say, they’re intense, but they care about their coffee. Its for the better.

Probably the best coffee roaster in stl.“

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

“So impressed by the sustainable production efforts of Park Avenue Coffee and the growers of the coffees they use! Truly enlightening tour and yummy beverages to sample during #caffeinecrawl“

“My favorite place for coffee, tea, gelato, and pastries on south grand, BUT, they make the best London fog on the planet.“

“cold brew and a chocolate chip cookie!“

“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“

“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. 😊“

“Great family atmosphere! Excellent fine dining.“

“Got an iced latte here..now I can't go any other place! The coffee here is excellent. Go give it a try!“

“Highly recommend!!! Delicious food and lattes, prompt service, super friendly staff. Couldn’t recommend enough. My mom forgot she had changed her mind from biscuits and gravy to a different meal, and she initially asked if she would be getting gravy before I reminded her she had changed her mind on her order. The cook immediately brought out gravy, free of charge. We were humbled and very impressed! Thank you for a great experience for us out of towners. :)“

“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!“

“Cute coffee shop. Quite a bit of seating even in winter thanks to a covered patio with heat lamps.

We had three coffees and three egg wraps. They have a combo both for 8.50, plus 50¢ for a little dollop of (Costco) salsa. Which we thought was a fine deal (though the salsa was a little eh).

The drip coffee was good. You could taste the greenness, it was light roast and very smooth.

The egg wraps were yummy, but a little dry and the edges of the tortillas were hard. Almostttt good, just need a fresher tortilla and maybe some cheese or something? The filling was good.

The atmosphere on the covered patio was pretty good. They just need to spruce it up a bit with updating the chalk boards. Some string lights or something.

The main guy working (owner?) was super nice.

This is a good spot, really close to being a great one!“

“excellent place for really good coffee“

“As someone who typically enjoys a simple coffee or latte, I tried out the seasonal sweet potato latte. What a brilliant choice it was. Full of flavor and wonderfully spiced, I could drink this every day. The barista was an absolute gem as well. I’m always on the hunt for a great coffee shop, and this has definitely made the list.“

“Today was my first visit at Perk It Up! The owner is very sweet (we had a great discussion about Education). I’ll definitely be coming in more often! The S’Mores Latte is delicious! I’d definitely recommend coming in and supporting a local coffee shop!“

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

“Cute shop, friendly staff, and delicious food!“

“Delicious fresh and healthy!“

“Cute small shop. Ice cream was delicious. I also tried the Canoli Latte. That was ok, not large or hot enough for my personal taste, but the flavor was nice. My daughter had an iced lavendar mocha, which was delicious. Staff is very friendly and has a great sense of humor. They do cator to GF and VEG as well.“

“Tried their Gateway Blend coffee and it is delicious!“

“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.“

“After my favorite water bagel place closed after many years (the owners became too old and ill to continue the business) I had to find another establishment to replace it. I am happy to report these are authentic, delicious, and provide a modern twist. The flavors are classic (everything) and new (rosemary salt) and the service was efficient. It’s completely out of my way but I will travel for what I crave and these bagels are crave worthy.“

“First time and not the last time we dine here, God willing! 🙏🏼♥️🏁 Very busy place, but fantastic service, food, and experience! Josh answered the phone and was so helpful, friendly and welcoming! When we walked in Josh was on it, made us feel we were “regulars”, like he new us personally and Stacey, the hostess that seated us, was equally as welcoming and we were seated promptly. I don’t believe we got our kind servers name, but the beautiful young lady was on it as well. The chefs/kitchen were on par as well, hubby had one of the eggs Benedict with a side of biscuit and gravy, I had the Ranchers beef salad, one of the best beef and blue cheese salads I’ve EVER had, and believe me, I’ve had a “few” 😋🤫😊 Hubs also loved the huge coffee mugs his coffee and my Kahluah/hot chocolate(yum on this damp chilly day)were served in…this where my only complaint would be, my mug was chipped along the rim 😅 All that said, it was just a fantastic way to start our Sunday. Looking forward to sharing this spot with some more loved ones 🙏🏼♥️🏁“

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

“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!“

“Kaldi’s Coffee is hands-down one of my favorite spots! Their drinks are absolutely delicious and always made exactly how I ask for them—no matter how specific my order might be. I also love how they’re always coming up with creative and seasonal options to keep things exciting.

The cashiers are so nice and friendly every time I visit. They’re super helpful when I have questions about the menu or can’t decide what to try next. It’s clear they really care about creating a great experience for their customers.

If you’re looking for quality coffee and a welcoming vibe, Kaldi’s is the place to go!

Parking: The parking situation can be a bit tricky since Kaldi’s shares a small lot with two other restaurants, which is almost always full. Street parking can also be a challenge, especially depending on the time of day, as it’s located right near WashU’s campus.“

“Nice cozy setting that’s good for catching up with friends or getting some studying/work done. Coffee tasted pretty good but food (lunch) was kind of meh. We got chipotle chicken sandwich and turkey pesto club. The chicken was bland and kind of chewy in places. The turkey club was below average. It wasn’t toasted and didn’t even have a slice of tomato. Pesto was minimal with pretty boring nonexistent flavors. Might go back to try some breakfast and more coffee.“

“Got my shaken espresso early morning before work. Was early enough I was having trouble even remembering what my order was and I don't visit Starbucks very often. Doug was my cashier and the way he treated me I would think that man could guide anyone through any problem. I'm just standing there trying to order a sweet treat to fight the dead tired feeling inside and Doug leads me through the entire process with the customer service patience of an angel. Would trust Doug to teach an older person some technology and not have them get mad. 10/10 experience“

“I am visiting from Hawaii and let me tell you with the jet lag and the temperature difference I’m struggling, but with this wonderful little shop they took care of me. I had a wonderful peppermint mocha that woke me up and got me warm. Aloha and mahalo??“

“Seriously one of my favorite places in St. Louis. GREAT food, my go to is the breakfast chopped cheese sandwich, but you won't go wrong with anything. Deserts are wonderful too, and the people and atmosphere are the icing on the cake. If you haven't been here, you're missing out.“

“Cold brew w/ cold foam was delicious! They were nice and quick and the place was clean and cozy. I was bummed they didn't have nitro though it was on the menu. We got egg&cheddar biscuits and they were EXTREMELY crumbly, like eventually I gave up eating the biscuit part. The egg was dry. Would recommend a different food choice“

“Please go here! Not only are the cupcakes delicious, but the staff was so kind. Our group was walking back to our car when the tornado sirens started going off and the green suddenly turn nasty green. It was terrifying. We dashed into their storefront. The staff was calm and went out of their way to make sure everyone was safe.“

“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 🐾❤️“

“I went to That’s Sip for the first time today and enjoyed my latte to-go. I was greeted when walking in and the service was quick. I think the prices are very standard despite the other reviews on Google - it’s still cheaper than Starbucks and you’re supporting a local business. I think they could benefit from a few additional lounge chairs but it’s a small shop so the space is well thought out. Overall, this was a wonderful coffee shop to grab a drink and I plan to return again!“

“Decided to make the drive from IL for their open play last weekend and my 2.5 year old had such a good time we came back again this weekend. Can’t recommend this place enough!“

“In stl visiting for work and I could not be happier! The coffee is phenomenal, the vibes of the shop are great, and the baristas are so friendly!! I spent more time chatting it up with the baristas than waiting for my coffee and it was so fun every time. Would def recommend this place to anyone visiting and was able to recommend it to some of my out-of-town co-workers who frequent the area.

Wheelchair accessibility: no stairs to enter, clear pathway to register“

“I wanted to make sure the two nice ladies that were working tonight got the recognition they deserve 🎉 my friend and I took the Lime Bikes here and didn't even think about the time. we were a minute late and we insisted we leave but they insisted to serve us. They were so awesome and so kind - thank you girls!“

“Love this Starbucks, staff is awesome and one of the cleanest Starbucks I've been in.“

“Great little coffee shop located conveniently by the hospitals. Good menu selections and a nice vibe.

The food was minimalistic based on the price, but it was good. Very nice environment and great customer service.

Two avocado toast with two friend eggs and sausage was approximately $40.00.

They do however try and get you to tip STARTING at 18%/22%/24% for a place that YOU go and order your own food, YOU pick it up, YOU put it away, YOU get your own water, etc, which is a silly trend some places are getting into.

I do highly recommend though checking it out.“

“Alli, the new Assistant Manager is simply amazing. She leads by example, multi-tasks with ease. She made this vacation of mine so much more fun each day for my daily Starbucks run. I was fortunate enough to meet the new GM on my way out and I can tell that this location will continue to be the best by far by remembering the importance of customer service and making the Starbucks experience what it should be.“
