Good food in an open space. The tuna melt was good and the potatoe salad was too.
Place to hang out with MY GIRLLLLSSSSSSSS
Ok, not your typical garden restaurant. Take a look at the salmon rye or avocado 🥑 toast pics. Really tasty well prepared items in an indoor or outdoor dining space. Very nice. Give this place a chance next time you visit the Missouri Botanical Gardens. Great for a refreshing lunch.

Sassafras offers two dining options: a grab-and-go cafe with baked goods, and a fast-casual counter-serve restaurant serving soup, salad, sandwiches, and burgers. The cafe had a long line during a visit to the Japanese festival, while the restaurant did not. The potato leek soup was flavorful but very salty. The atmosphere is cute, making it a recommended choice over festival food vendors.
The brunch offerings include a Belgian waffle with pecans, fresh berries, syrup, and whipped butter, served with a side of fruit. The prices are reasonable, around $10. The garden setting makes it a convenient option without leaving the area. The employees are welcoming and accommodating. The children's Belgian waffle is a satisfying choice for a light meal, accompanied by butter, syrup, chocolate sauce, whipped cream, and fresh fruit.
The cafe is wonderful and beautiful, with affordable prices, fast service, and a unique, aesthetically pleasing interior. The staff, including Ms. Tiffany, are hospitable, friendly, and accommodating, especially when customers visit with their children. The dining room and patio are kept very clean, and the staff is incredibly helpful and friendly.
