    Conveniently located in Delmar's Loop is Black Lab! Very natural & open space for a coffee date or to get some work done! They offer free WiFi! Bonus! I got the salted caramel lavender iced latte & it was delish. Definitely recommend. It also came out quick & fresh. The baristas were super nice. It's sort of hard to find, go through the main doors from the parking lot & keep going through the corridor area. You'll eventually bump into it!

    Latte heaven!

    Tucked away inside Lewis Collaborative is perhaps the best latte in aft Louis. Friendly barristers, friendly owner, awesome coffee, what more can you want? Oh yeah, an awesome space!

    Service was quick and the atmosphere was good for studying or for a quick chat with friends. Venue was pretty small and there was limited seating. Latte was really tasty, and the bagel was good too! Overall solid pick for coffee on the loop.

    Stopped in to co-work and we loved how beautiful and peaceful the space was. The staff was very sweet and we ordered their chocolate chip cookies (really delicious), a cold brew, a salted caramel latte with oat milk. Everything tasted great and most of all we felt like we could sit down and get some work done.

    kinda hard to find from the parking lot. if you parked there go ahead and come in the doors with the intercom (they're all unlocked). the baristas were super sweet and recommend parking on the street for easier access! i love the art murals located outside and all the outdoor seatings. they have nice personal touches such as many outlets outside. we came at 10 on a tuesday and it was pretty busy inside with families, but we didn't mind sitting outside. the menu was a little small, but like a typical local coffee shop. we were hoping for some seasonal drinks, but other than that no complaints!

    We walked from the heman park area and found this coffee shop relatively easily. Right off the Delmar loop and next to the Ucity library this is a great spot to visit & study/work at. My sister and I ordered an iced oat, honey latte, chocolate chip cookie, cinnamon roll and cold brew. The service was quick, the staff seemed busy and focused. The ambiance was spacious and clean. There was a beautiful, outdoor courtyard with tables and bench swings. Overall, we had a good experience. I rated this four stars because the iced drinks were not large enough! Would like to see more size options.

    Nestled within the Lewis Collaborative, this coffee shop offers a great ambiance perfect for a relaxed hangout or productive work session. The art-filled space adds character to the cozy atmosphere, making it a welcoming spot to enjoy a cup of coffee. Sourcing their beans from Proud Mary Coffee and Common Room Roasters ensures high-quality brews and espresso. It's wonderful to have another fantastic coffee option in St. Louis, and this place definitely stands out. If you're in the area and craving a good cup of joe, give it a try!

    I really liked visits this new coffee spot. The environment is colorful and chill and the service is friendly, fast and considerate. Coffee is good and pastries are fresh and homemade! Great spot!

Every single time I roll with their General tao's Chicken. Every single time it exceeds expectations. Now, this is a takeout Cantonese spot so I have no idea how fresh it actually is. Nonetheless, I love it. I wish they still allowed dine in experiences, but I think since COVID they are take out only. Now, back to the food. The General Tao's has a solid kick and is drenched in the sweet sauce. A slight tang, plenty of sweetness, and the kick of peppers makes this dish a favorite. Their orange chicken is great as well. My partner always orders that. Super bright and citrusy with that same kick from the Szechuan. Lastly, got pot stickers for the first time and they were fire. Will absolutely roll with those again. they seem to stay pretty busy as a hefty line remains consistent when grabbing a bite, so sometimes you have to wait a bit, even if you ordered ahead. In any case, a top tier STL takeout spot for me!

The flavors are plentiful, the creativity is unmatched, and the quality of the ingredients is truly unrivaled. I honestly don't think there's a better cheesecake shop that I've encountered anywhere in my travels. The staff is generally very helpful and welcoming, with Lindsy in particular being a consistent standout at the front register over the years. I've been a loyal customer for a long time and have easily spent thousands of dollars on Hank's cheesecakes for both personal celebrations and professional events. The product itself has always been worth every penny. That said, I was disappointed to learn of the new policy charging $2 simply to slice a cheesecake. When purchasing a $25-$400+ cheesecake, an additional fee for a task that takes roughly 20 seconds feels unnecessary and, frankly, a bit off-putting. While I understand that rising costs are impacting businesses everywhere, this type of nickel-and-diming can feel discouraging--especially to long-standing, repeat customers who have consistently supported the business. Hank's Cheesecake remains exceptional, and the product is second to none. I hope management reconsiders this policy, as it slightly detracts from what has otherwise been an outstanding customer experience for many loyal patrons.

The cocktail menu and RW menu were fabulous, and yet bringing it all to life with effusive knowledge and enthusiasm about the various dishes was our outstanding server, Corinthian. She shared interesting and incredible insight on each offering, making us feel valued and appreciated patrons, advising based on our interests and likes to help us make decisions. Each of us was pleased with our various selections. While the soups were tempting on a cold night, I was delighted with the French-inspired Lyonnaise salad complete with a perfectly prepared soft boiled egg. My panko-encrusted swordfish with burre Blanc sauce was light and tasty. The gooey butter beignets were light on the gooey butter custard-like filling, as promised by our server (and more special than the typical St. Louis dessert), sprinkled with powdered sugar and drizzled with chocolate. The ample dessert (3) provided take home leftovers for delicious breakfast treats. The cocktails I enjoyed included a Japanese Old Fashioned & an Espresso Martini, both very good. Initially upon arrival, an adjacent table of younger women was unusually loud (in a space that doesn't absorb noise well) that I feared would spoil our evening; rather than approach them (tempted) or engage management, I glared a few times at them and it seemed to have resolved. Overall, this was a very enjoyable, comfortable, and satisfying dinner; we would return.

Oh that was a yes. French onion soup was ok too, but honestly it could've been thicker. But when you pay 19 bucks for a burger and they hand you those little packaged mustard packets like a fast food place? Oh come on now. At least put ketchup and mustard bottles on the table. Our waitress was sweet, but she had too many other obligations going on and we got cheated out of refills. We were there during lunch and noticed when customers left, nobody even came by to bus the tables. I'm not sure, but the place kinda feels like it's on its last leg. It could be better. There's room for improvement, I just don't see it happening.
