I normally love the occasional visit to half and half's Saturday brunch, but I must have caught…read morethem on an off day. I had to ask multiple staffers who our server was before someone filled our waters which is odd because it is a very small space. Also once identified the server could not tell us what was allergy friendly and misspoke about an item that is routinely made with nuts. The server really makes the experience, so I hope they do some more pre-shift checks with servers before busy days. I love the restaurant and variety of drink options and food. I will be back one day. Accessibility note, there are handicap parking spaces along the main road but the curb is separate for bike lanes and the curb cuts are varied along the street. The restrooms are single person and are down a small hallway shared with staff so waiting in line may cause congestion for wheelchair users.

I was really excited to try Cafe La Vie. The ambiance is cute and the pics online looked lovely…read more While all of the servers were kind, they seemed a bit disorganized. It took a decent amount of time to get water and even longer with multiple reminders to then receive my coffee. I wasn't sure who exactly was supposed to take care of our table so it made it difficult to ask. Hoping this isn't a common experience for guests and it was probably just an off day for everyone. Food was good. I think the prices for quality and quality didn't meet my expectations. I hope to come back for a different meal time and try it again!

Stopped in for breakfast on a Saturday morning and it was great! We got coffee, a smoothie, scone &…read moreI enjoyed the avocado toast while my friend got the breakfast sandwich. Everything was fantastic -- the smoothie wasn't overwhelmingly sweet and all the food was really good. Food presentation was pretty too! It was a little busy, so there was a short line, but it moved pretty quick. You order at the counter and they bring the food to you. The staff was friendly and though there was a bit of a wait for our food, I think the ambiance was perfect for a slow Saturday morning. Can't wait to come back and try different things!

This is a super cute neighborhood cafe not too far from us that we come to fairly often. They have…read moreboth outdoor and indoor seating- so great for various types of weather.

You can tell the owner truly cares about her customers and that shows through the quality of the food. Songbird is located on Morgan Ford in Tower Grove south and is easily accessible for all. If you want local, fresh foods and a staff that cares, I highly recommend Songbird!

I ordered Sprouted Grain English Muffin Sandwich, a house made English muffin, chicken sausage, microgreens, omelet-style eggs, pickled red onion + dijonnaise. So good, and it was large!

Its a draw with the poptarts!

Group of four arrived just after 6pm on a Friday, and after a brief wait we were seated. Busy, but…read morew/ empty tables intermixed inside and out. Perfect weather. Ordered three pizzas, one pasta, and a bottle of red wine. 5 Stars for ambiance and service on point w/ water glasses filled quickly. Complementary warm bread served individually was a hit, with choices of olive oil, one chili infused, and a small bowl of Parmesan cheese powder, reminiscent of the green container from the grocery store, was a miss. Pistachio Ravioli, served with an extra large amount of oil, lacked flavor and was mid at best. All four of us agreed the pasta was hard, undercooked, not near al dente, and needed seasoning. Could not tell you what was inside the ravioli. We were hungry and the pizza was fine, though not enough to inspire a second visit.

Although, the café is family friendly, the setting of tables are but closer, not wide for running kids and the delicious food leans a bit more to the adult. It's more of a place for a lite meal, a quiet moment, chit-chat catch ups or a mid-day date. I've experienced the food for both the breakfast and lunch...and both were seasoned to my taste. The ambience is relaxing and intimate. The café is wheelchair accessible... you can eat outside, as well. Please note...weekends are busy, so make sure that you RESERVE your seat(s). This will eliminate wait times or being turned away. Enjoy family...you will not be disappointed!

But I made it in before peach season was over and it is truly my favorite time of the year Their peach Crepes are heaven. I always get the Dutch baby but peaches trump the DB. Our food was DELISH & our server was as sweet & efficient as can be. This food is not cheap and I understand people say it's breakfast food and consider it overpriced, but for me, I don't cook and eat out all the time, combined with the service and cozy atmosphere I think it's well worth the cost, my opinion. They have a great system and they stick to it. And it's a nice diverse crowd in there which I enjoy. Young old black white and everything in between.

The owners care DEEPLY about their business and their customers. They were very kind, concerned, and clearly on a mission to be the best they can in terms of their customers' experience. The service level is unparalleled! They kindly shared that improvements were made to avoid having similar issues in the future. I went back again and tried their turkey bacon sandwich (which was delicious and a very generous portion), but I look forward to coming back to try the improved Jenny sandwich as well! Many of my previous comments stand, the large outdoor seating area, and overall aesthetic inside is all lovely. A great place to grab lunch, read a book over coffee, or work at their window seating. I look forward to coming back many, many more times!

**Worth getting off the highway for!**…read more I'm the biggest fan of City Coffee & Crêperie. I first ate here a few years ago while visiting my sister-in-law, who lives in town, and I've been hooked ever since. The crêpes are the best I've had anywhere. That makes sense once you learn that Anne, the owner, learned to make them while traveling through France. And the muffins! They are truly to die for. On a recent drive from Atlanta to Iowa, I actually got off the highway just to pick some up! It was a packed Saturday morning with a long line of people waiting to eat, and Anne still took the time to make sure I got all the muffins I wanted for the road. That's what makes this place so special. Anne is the sweetest, kindest soul, and you can feel that care in everything from the food to the warm, cozy atmosphere. Please eat here. You'll never want to leave!
