Entrance

When I lived in the city, I loved my local Einstein Bros. Bagel shop. Now that I live in IL, I don't have an Einstein's near me. So when this one opened close to the Costco that I shop regularly, I was ecstatic. I'm the type of person who on occasion enjoys a bagel for breakfast. I've tried the ones at Costco and they do not satisfy my craving. When I shop my Costco, I pop over to Einstein and grab me some bagels. I like that I can mix my dozen or half dozen with flavors that I like. Being single, I cannot eat them that fast, so I pair them up in freezer bags and seal them with my FoodSaver. Now when the craving for a bagel hits in the morning, I take a bag out of the freezer and put it on the counter. By the time I get back home from walking the dog, they have thawed enough to be toasted and enjoyed. Freezing them does not affect the taste of the bagel, no matter what the flavor. The staff is friendly, helpful and get me in and out quickly. Before I know it, I am on the road back to my home in Illinois.

Bacon Bacon, Avocado, & Tomato Egg White Sandwich
Kayla K.

This Einstein Bros. Bagels is one of several locations throughout the St. Louis area. I visited on a Sunday morning before running errands, and the location is very conveniently located next to Costco and the Target and Dierbergs developments. Parking is ample and easy, which made stopping in simple. I ordered the bacon, avocado, and egg white sandwich, along with their fresh orange juice and a vanilla hazelnut coffee. Everything was well prepared and tasted fresh. The wait time was about 10 minutes, which was reasonable and appreciated given that the food was made to order. The only minor limitation is the absence of a drive-thru. Overall, this is a solid and dependable choice for breakfast in University City, especially if you are already in the area.

Orange juice

Einstein Bros. Bagels recently opened near the new Costco in Olivette. I was running errands this morning and had I stop by! I ordered their All Night Egg sandwich meal which comes with their twice baked hashbrown and coffee or orange juice. The bagel sandwich was yummy and warm and what you would expect for a classic bacon egg and cheese sandwich. The twice baked hash brown was cheesy and a little heavy for my liking but still good. Overall the vibes are casual. You order at the counter and then they call your name up when your order is ready. They have many bagel sandwich options and a few sandwich options. Overall I'm glad that this establishment opened up here!

Heavenly Chocolate Chip Cookie
Chrissy E.

Today was my first time at Einstein Bagels. I love that they open at 6, which is clutch for early risers like myself. For starters, the place is exceptionally clean!I love that they have so many options to choose from aside from the bagels. I decided to go with the egg sandwich on the everything bagel and add avocado, the small passion fruit sunrise, and the heavenly chocolate chip cookie. Within 5 mins, my food was ready and I was on my way. The first few bites of my sandwich were good. I wish it were grilled a bit more bc it made the sandwich a bit difficult to chew. The bagel itself was ok but didn't wow me. I found the passion fruit sunrise to be really refreshing. I ate the cookie later and it truly was heavenly. Overall, I had a great first visit and I imagine I'll be back in the near future.

Nova Lox

This place is more popular than you'd think. When I arrived at maybe 10:30 AM on a Saturday, I could hardly pull onto the lot. I wondered where all those people could be going. Come to find out, Einstein Bros is the only open establishment in this strip. There's been signage for a Nail place next door since Jesus left Chicago, but it's empty on the inside. At the far end of the strip, there's an empty space with a drive-thru. If/when it opens, you can imagine this place being even more of a clusterfrick--though it should be noted that this overall development has been surprisingly well-designed, at least traffic-wise, so far. Much of the traffic on the lot today was just people trying to get as close to the front door as possible. I'll spare you my thoughts on ostensibly able-bodied people who circle a grocery store parking lot for half an hour trying to get the closest parking space possible, because that's not why we're here. Inside was an absolute zoo and a surprisingly diverse demographic mix--just as many clearly slept-in sweatpants (on women, mind you) as there was Patagonia. Bagels: bringing America together. The dining room is small and inhospitable. There's only a few tables and, as is the case with the Panera across the street, they seem to be purposely designed to not be comfy. They don't want anyone showing up with a laptop trying to write the next great American novel. All of the seating is clearly visible to the person working the register, lest anyone get any bright ideas. All orders are made to-go by default. You can eat there if you want to, if you can find a table. That might not be as much of an issue at 10:30 AM on a weekday. I was there to get a bagel with lox, which I've never had from Einstein Bros. I was glad to see that there was one on the menu, since I didn't think to show up with an envelope of lox in my pocket just in case. I've had one of their breakfast-y sandwiches once before--it may have been a bacon, egg and cheese--and didn't care for it. But I think it was more a matter of me not liking the idea of a sandwich on a bagel. A bagel with lox is different, because it's mostly just a bagel with cream cheese. The lox, capers, onions and what have you function as an accent. I got the bagel and a small coffee, and my total, with a 0% tip (feel free to @ me, if necessary), came to just shy of $13. They didn't give me a cup for coffee when I paid nor when they gave me my bagel. I just reached and grabbed one. I took a large, since they couldn't be bothered to hand it to me. I wanted (admittedly) the vanilla hazelnut coffee, and both pots were out. I settled for a breakfast blend. The bagel was honestly much better than I expected. If you can manage to eat it there, there's a nice contrast between the fresh-from-the-toaster bagel and the cream cheese. The bagel is nice and soft, with the toasted part being just a little crisp. The lox is sliced thick enough to feel substantial, with the trade-off being that they don't give you enough of it to fully cover the bagel. Some bites are just cream cheese and the various other toppings. The shmear is generous, but not as ridiculous as some places in New York, where they give you more or less an entire brick of Philadelphia. Eww! The onions are fresh and delightfully pungent. The tomatoes aren't stale, but they're kinda flavorless in the way that tomatoes at fast-food restaurants often are. I bet that's the case more often than not, not unlike at Wendy's. I'd suggest they find a better purveyor, but I shudder to think what they might charge if they did.

So exciting to leave the first review for this new Einstein's location on Olive! The location is superb for me, so I will be stopping by often. I ordered the caramel cream cold brew, which was better than I expected! It's very sweet, which is just the way I like. Not pictured (because I was very hungry), I also ordered the six cheese bagel with plain shmear. It was ~$10 altogether which felt pretty reasonable to me for a quick breakfast. The inside is quite small, with a handful of tables, but the service was quick and friendly even as they get their footing. Can't wait to come back!

Songbird is the Dolly Parton of St. Louis breakfast: bigger stage, brighter lights, same voice…read more I've followed this operation since it was a sandwich pop-up at the Tower Grove Farmers' Market, through the brick-and-mortar in The Grove, and now into its larger home in Tower Grove South. The quality has not wavered once. I ordered what I always order: The Combo (fried eggs, maplewood smoked bacon, cheese, brioche toast), extra egg, extra bacon. Most kitchens treat a fried egg as binary (runny or ruined). Songbird has mastered the middle register: lacy edges with a yolk that stays glossy and intact right up until the first bite. I ordered them over hard, and they came out a bit closer to over medium, but they were just as good as I wanted them to be. The bacon carries real smoke. This is a decadent sandwich, big enough that half of it would make a light breakfast; I wasn't remotely hungry after one, the second half was indulgent. The service made the move too. The hostess still recognizes returning customers, and the bigger room finally lets the dining experience breathe. The service at the table could have been a little warmer as we've had it the past, but it is still professional. I was there with two close college buddies, one of whom declared his latte excellent. I keep meaning to get adventurous with the menu, but it is genuinely hard to find a bacon, egg, and cheese toasted this perfectly, and I'd go twice in one day if given the opportunity. 4.8 A full five arrives the day when I can arrive first thing on a Saturday without a 30 minute wait, honestly, it's hard to get a reservation here because of its popularity. Good for them. Cheers to you, Songbird. Dolly would be proud

*Not accessible *Not kid friendly…read more This location has a lot of improvements to be made. The menu is bland and they deter you from making modifications. I wanted my toast's jam to be on the side and they said no. It was a thick tasteless brick without the jam. The items are not as traditional for a breakfast spot, and when I asked the server what they were known for she said the drinks.... They also run a tight turnaround time so they will make you feel uncomfortable when its time to clear your table and pay the bill because they will tell you the next reservation is in 5minutes. The plates were all different and my guest who got a sandwich had her food come out in a plastic fry basket instead of the nicer plates. Odd. As I mentioned earlier, they are not kid friendly as they don't have a kids menu or kid friendly items like fruit and pancakes. We ordered a side of avocado and chicken sausage as those were the safest for us. Also there are no changing tables in the restrooms. Accessibility note: the entrance is a giant multi-slope and 1 turn ramp into a cramped lobby. The men's restroom is the only one on the main floor and female restroom is tucked far in the backroom inaccessible due to a steep step in the back. It is not wheelchair or walker friendly.

I ordered the Hatch'd By You which consisted of two eggs, meat, hash browns and and English muffin. I thought everything was great. The eggs were spot on and the hash browns were super crispy - exactly how I like them! Hatch'd is a true example of how a restaurant should be run. The owner, Josh, worked alongside his staff, and also stopped by at every table to introduce himself and check on their dining experience. Our waiter was also incredibly polite and suggested some great, personalized customization to our dishes. The place has a very welcoming atmosphere.

Amazing restaurant, with amazing staff…read more I went here with my kids for an early fathers day breakfast. We made a reservation to this place. It said we were ninth in line. We thought we had to wait for a long time, but it actually went quick (like 5 minutes) when we got there. We did not realize this place had an upstairs, until our waiter guided us. This place looks very large on the inside compared to what it looks like on the outside. The restaurant also had an rustic atmosphere. With exposed pipes, rusted decor, and 80's memorabilia on the shelf. We ordered coffee here, and one of them came in a Christmas cup. Even though it was six months away. My wife chuckled on how they served her coffee in a Christmas cup. Mine came in a plain white cup. But I still excessively chuckled on how funny the menu is and the staff are. The staff are very attentive to how your food tastes and make plenty of funny jokes with you. They also are very descriptive on what the specials on pancakes and omelettes are. As well as being very honest. I ordered the Benny's Got Beef Or Belly with Brisket. I know, long name. I watched the weather while my food was being prepared, and occasionally looking at the PBS TV nearby. My wife was drawing with my 11 year old daughter (and writing "secret messages") as their food was being prepped and prepared. When my food finally came out, I immediately took a bite. The brisket was very juicy and tender. And the eggs were delicious on the side. I tried this place several years ago. Was still the same good taste that I remember when I took my wife to this place. Very amazing place. Will come again.

It was perfectly cooked, flavorful, and honestly one of my favorite dishes from the trip. I also had a scallop dish that was just as good -- rich, well-seasoned, and beautifully prepared. On top of the food, they have a really strong wine selection, which made the experience even better. The overall vibe is polished and elevated without feeling too formal. Service was great, food came out on time, and everything felt intentional. Highly recommend if you're looking for a nice dinner spot in St. Louis.

Not about the food. Did not eat here…read more We happened to be in town for a long weekend. On our way to the zoo we stopped here for a bite to eat. We were greeted by one of the nicest and overwhelmingly insulting people I have ever met. We "had to have been from out of town" because "if you were local you wouldnt have imagined coming here without a reservation." Then we spent the next 10 minutes trying to walk back to our car while having an app explained to us so "you can check for open tables at other places." There were maybe 3 people eating in the entire front area. So out of towner's, dont spend the 5 minutes looking for parking and the 5 minutes walking to this establishment to be treated like some peasant commoner who is sullying their establishment.

Husband got the ham & cheese omelette and felt the same. We split kids pancakes to get the toppings on the side.

I guess it's a choice but it does deter me from rushing back or trying more on the menu, and be aware if you go. Ps does seem there is an allergy option so if you do have an allergy I suppose you can check that but I'm not sure how to note what you need a change; didn't see it in the QR-only ordering.

The Fleur-de-Lys is the epitome of a luxurious getaway. Whether it is the quaintly appointed guest…read morerooms or the delightful library and parlor, each area of this former residence is unique and meticulously maintained. While it is not likely the norm, the owners, Mark & Leslie, met us at the front door, quite literally inviting us into their establishment. It was simply the most welcoming manner in which to be introduced to this treasure and Leslie quickly engaged us with the history of the home and how she and Mark had recently become the owners. We chose this destination based upon the significance of the Fleur-de-lis to my love, a native New Orleanian. Given St. Louis' rich French heritage, the mansion was originally outfitted with four chimneys that feature the fleur-de-lis design and the pattern is repeated throughout the home. While we enjoyed a quiet morning coffee in the back of the property, a lovely shaded patio area, she noticed how many places the symbol was present. She actually made mention to Mark & Leslie that they could make an activity out of counting/finding all of the fleur-de-lis around the home. What a fun idea! We were fortunate enough to book the Tower Grove Park room, a spacious room fitted with a king-size bed and a two-person jacuzzi tub. There is even a 'fainting couch' for that extra French touch! The bed was amazingly comfortable and the decor and accoutrements were exceptional, right down to the pocket doors and writing desk. But a B&B is set apart by the fare served in the morning, and this is where Mark, a chef by trade, and Leslie, a self-taught baker, knock it out of the park. That morning's menu included a fruit starter, fresh juice, Leslie's home-baked sourdough toast and home-baked English muffins, and Mark's egg and sausage soufflés with country potatoes. The entire breakfast had us completely over the moon! We felt so at home that we wanted to clear our own place - so we did! The rates are competitive and well worth every moment spent here. There is parking behind the property, as well as across from the property, and each guest is allowed a unique security code so as to gain entry while you are enjoying your stay. I can't say enough about how much we enjoyed this getaway, and Mark, Leslie, & assistant Sammy made us feel like family from the moment we crossed the threshold. We'll be back - and you should give Fleur-de-Lys a try!

Where do I begin? Absolutely fabulous, that's where! Wow, what a beautiful historical building…read more From arrival to departure was entirely 5-Stars.

Location is perfect to venture out in any direction. We appreciate our stay at the Fleur-De-Lys Mansion, and highly recommend it as a destination stay spot whenever in St. Louis.
