The omelette was good with a lot of veggies and chicken sausage and so were the biscuits and gravy however the hash browns/ home fries need a lot of work. Mine were cold and super dry my husbands were hot but also very dry. Beignets were ok nothing like Cafe Du Monde. read more

Food: 5 Stars Service: 5 Stars We came across the cutest café for breakfast this morning in the heart of historic St. Charles right on Main Street. Not only was the hospitality at @frontierperkcafe impeccable, but their food was warm, comforting, and delicious. My husband had their luscious pulled short rib on a bed of hash brown patty with a poached egg on top. I had the sweet and savory honey hot chicken biscuit paired with a velvety Chai latte with almond milk. We both rolled ourselves out with happy bellies and smiles on our faces. The venue is relatively small, so plan ahead and be sure to make a visit soon! read more

Nice place in Historic St. Charles. I had ordered the short ribs with poached eggs. When it first came out, the eggs were solid and the beef was crispy crunchy. It almost seemed like they deep fried the beef. I only took a piece of the meat, to try, and said nope. Called the waitress over and asked if they would remake it. Poached eggs need to be at least slightly runny, unless requested hard. Short ribs are to be tender, not crunchy and black. When she came back with my new plate it was a whole different look. Everything was perfect. The flavors were great and I couldn't have asked for anything better. I was very happy with my choice and glad I asked them to remake it. I would give them 4.5 stars just because if my plate came out the first time, like it had after remaking, they would definitely get a full 5. Coffee was nice and my cup never ran dry. read more

We were doing some shopping on Main Street and popped in here to get Hubby a coffee. Ordering process was quick and easy at the counter, the employee was friendly and helpful. Hubby ordered a regular with cream and said it was very good (I don't drink coffee, cant share my own opinion). The pricing was also very reasonable from what I've experienced other places. The food menu looked really good and they advertise that their food is homemade which definitely had me drooling... we weren't looking to eat but would like to try it at another time. Be aware that this is a VERY SMALL storefront with only a couple of tables. Everyone had a seat when we came in but I can see where there could be a wait involved during busy times. read more

Frontier Perk Cafe - What a cute place - Cafes Near Me - St. Charles, Missouri

We looked for a new adventure close to home. We weren't disappointed with Frontier Perk Cafe. As many others stated, this is a small cafe in downtown St Charles. There is a good selection of food for both lunch and breakfast. The Americano I ordered was good too, but being charged for half and half was a little weird. That usually comes with coffee. Jake greeted us, and he did a great job making sure the customer area stayed cleaned. I will say he seemed serious in his personality. He did lighten up some as we talked to him more. There are 5 tables indoors. Neat decor on the walls. It has an "at home" feel. If you like spicy, the breakfast tacos are a hit. The Braised Short Rib Eggs Benedict was phenomenal! There were a number of pastries to choose from, but we did not partake in those. All in all, we will go back! We enjoyed it. read more

It is a beautiful place for breakfast, brunch or lunch in a gorgeous historic building. The coffees are excellent and the food is just amazing. Really flavorful. They use beef tallow in their fryer which is great! You don't see many places making the switch from bad seed oils. They also use organic coffee. I find this to be in very good character and shows they really care about their customers. Can't wait to go back and try more things. I had the fried fish sandwich and you can tell they use fresh ingredients. So, so good. Very friendly staff also. read more

What a wonderful cafe! Such a quaint spot to have a late breakfast or lunch along with coffee/espresso beverages or, like I had, Sweet Tea! Seating is not ample, so if you visit during a peak time, it's likely that there will be challenges having a seat. Some seating available outside to the right of the building. I settled on the Hot Honey Chicken Biscuit w/Breakfast Potatoes and a Side of scrambled eggs with cheese. Biscuit is amazing! At first glance, I thoughtvit would be crumbly, but I was pleasantly surprised that the Biscuit was just as you want ot to be. It's nice that they split it in 1/2 and griddle it to give it texture. The chicken breast was tasty, but could have been slightly larger. Potatoes and Eggs were true to expectations. Overall, very enjoyable late breakfast and would certainly go again. read more

We stopped in for lunch on a Thursday. There are about 8 tables inside and maybe 5 outside on their patio (which is to the side of the building and easy to miss!). You order at the counter and they bring your food to your table once it is ready. We found the service to be very friendly and happy to help customers. They have a really good selection for breakfast and lunch. Several sandwich, soup, and salad options. There are also a ton of flavored coffees and smoothies to choose from. We ordered a wrap and sandwich and talked about how good they both were for the rest of the day! Each came with a side of wavy/crinkle chips. I think they may be sweet potato chips? All around a lovely place to stop for breakfast or lunch and I look forward to coming back in! read more

I am in love with frontier perk cafe! This place is so adorable! I had never been to St. Charles and this was one of many places I absolutely adored. I came for brunch with my friend and had a lovely experience. The staff was super friendly and attentive. Food was great. I had the quiche. My friend got a turnover I believe? And a latte that she said was delicious. I also had some sort of guava pastry to go that was to die for. I also loved how affordable they were. I am already planning my next trip back to St. Charles! read more

EVERYTHING IS AMAZING HERE! the space. The booths. The service. The food. I love this place.

Three of us came for breakfast and found this coffee shop to be severely overrated. None of us enjoyed the breakfast items we ordered. I'm told the coffee was good, but not excellent. In any event, it did not make up for the breakfast items. read more

I got some breakfast tacos with potatoes and a caramel iced latte. Note that you might have to get it extra sweet if you do not want it biter. My bf got a white chocolate raspberry iced latte and that one was actually sweet. Food was great & server was ok good vibes and environment read more

Everything was so fresh and delicious.. I had the Cobb salad they had fresh avocado, thinly sliced tomato, feta cheese, bacon egg, I had them add dried cranberries. The. dressing was homemade.

It was really good. I'm going back . The waitress named Jenn was the one who told Me Her suggestions & everything shesuggested was on point.... The ambience was a rustic, they had hardwood floors, brick walls on the inside a comfortable vibe... My daughter Refered Me to this restaurant She was so right!!! read more

I had the avocado toast.. 2 whole grain n toasts with mashed avocado $14. I added bacon menu said $3, I was charged $4. The lattes were weak, had to add another espresso. My husband ordered the big burrito $18. Was size of normal burrito. Not worth the price. Our breakfast cost $57 Service was good and ambiance okay. We will not be going back, way too expensive and nothing to rave about read more

The servings are large. Every bite is flavorful. The service is fantastic (if a little slow). We sat on the patio and had a great time watching the river while we waited. The salted caramel latte is fantastic and their homemade ranch is absolutely divine! read more

My wife and I were in the neighborhood and decided to try something new. This place looked like it would fit the bill. The layout inside wasn't thought out to well. You stood in a line down the middle of tables to order then there really wasn't a place to stand or wait while your order was made. They had a sign that you should not take a table until your order is ready but more often then not an employee had to go boot someone from a table while those of us ready to eat had to stand. We enjoyed the food but not the atmosphere. If we are in the neighborhood we might stop in depending on the crowd read more

Wanted to take my sister somewhere before leaving to go back home so we found this gem in Saint Charles Main Street. Nice area with a lot of shops and restaurants people would enjoy. I'm really glad we came here. You can sit inside or they do have an outside section you can sit at. I was recommended to try the shrimp tacos and they did not disappoint! Loved the mango salsa that came with it and also the house made chips!! My sister grabbed the Hot Honey Chicken which she loved! I'll definitely be back to try the shrimp po boy...it looked really good. read more

This is a cozy breakfast spot. We came here for a quick bite not knowing what to expect. The sit down space is small so if they are busy and you plan to eat in, be ready to wait. Take out is always an option and I know they have good options. You have to order at the counter first to get a table. My only issue is they use a television menu board against the wall and even with my excellent vision, it was hard to read. I opted for the quiche and my friend got the traditional breakfast. I also got a side of breakfast potato's with cheese and sour cream. We got coffees too and they let us have a open table with a number. In order to ensure that your food is hot and fresh when it comes out they don't start it until you have a table. The service was great, the food was tasty and the space was cozy. My only issue is half way through our meal the place got crowded and I had a woman leaning against my chair as I was finishing my breakfast. It was a little uncomfortable as she really didn't know where to stand and when she rested her arm absently on the back of my char hitting my back- we were both shocked and embarrassed. I can't blame her completely, the staff didn't exactly control the waiting people in the best way to avoid the situation of people watching you eat so they can have your table. I think that as the temps get colder and the popularity of this place increases they need a better system to keep everyone comfortable. Lucky for all, the patrons and staff alike are all very friendly and we can have a good laugh about it. Not the best place for kids when it's busy and they will have to wait, but the menu is worth the wait! Go check it out! read more

Coffee drinks at this location are quite good and run the average coffeehouse price wise. The food service is good as the wait staff go, the food itself seems to take quite some time to get prepared and can be over done (chicken strips) my friend Red and I were in on a recent Sunday late in the afternoon and had this experience. Red had biscuits and gravy, the biscuit sadly tasted only like flour, the sausage gravy was flavor full. I had chicken strips and fries, sadly we had arrived late in the afternoon after a rush at the establishment that had seemingly left the kitchen staff out of sorts. Wait time on the chicken strips being around 40 to 45 minutes. The chicken strips were tasty when they arrived but a bit over cooked, the fries, well they were like most places over salted and barely warm. I will say that the staff did their best to try and keep us updated on why the food was taking a while to be prepared. I would highly recommend the coffee drinks at this establishment, but would say go when they are not busy to eat, I will return for a second meal and another review as I believe this establishment is much better food wise than my first go round showed. read more

Worth going once. Overpriced & Add on charge for EVERYTHING!!!! Food was good, but just ridiculous prices to add or sub anything!!! It's adds up FAST!!! Coffee treat was the best part & reasonable in comparison to the food ‍. Service was "fair". Not meant for a group of more than 4!!! read more

Headed to Old St. Charles to enjoy the gorgeous weather and get some lunch and shop. He decided to stop at The Frontier Perk. This cute cafe right on Main Street is a Gem. Everything is made from scratch. We had a hard time deciding on what to get so we decided to get s few things and share. The French onion soup was one of the best and the Homemade Chili with cornbread a must for the crisp Fall weather. The Chicken Pot Pie topped with a flaky puff pastry hit the spot. The Cuban was big enough to share. The pork on the Cuban was a little fatty but nothing I couldn't overlook as the flavors were so good. Everything comes with their Homemade Chips. Which could use a little salt. They had a case of Bakery Goodies if you are looking for a sweet treat at the end. We opted for the Pumpkin Pie Supreme Latte!!!! **they do sell Breakfast ALL Day if you prefer that!!! read more

All I ordered was the "magic chicken soup" and it took 25 minutes to come out. By the time I got the soup, it wasn't even warm and everyone I was eating with had finished all their food. Not sure what's so "magic" about it but it wasn't doing anything special for me. This experience was overall very disappointing but I have had other good meals here. read more

The food here is OUTSTANDING I had the scratch biscuits & gravy, short rib egg stack, & the huevos rancheros. Honestly just skip out on the huevos rancheros, they're good but they just don't compare to the short rib egg stack, so good, along with the heaping helping of home style potato's they give you. This type of food heals the soul & will have you feeling like a renaissance poet. I also had a London fog, which was made to perfection, & a vanilla latte, it was a bit on the sweet side but still good. In total it came out to ~70$ for all this but well worth it, you won't regret it. swag ( 0_-) read more

Went here due to positive Yelp reviews and happy with our decision! Adorable location with street parking. We were seated immediately and had the best service. No eggs benedict on the menu so a little disappointed but our food was satisfying. Coffee was delicious!

The main thing I remember about this place was hoe friendly the staff were and how they really made us feel welcome. We stopped in just to check it out one afternoon, not to order but just to see what it was. Just had that feel that we would like eating there so came back for breakfast the next morning. I had the short rib and grilled cheese and it was good, very good flavor. My wife liked here pancakes and bacon. This will be on our list to eat at any time we are in St. Charles. read more
