Villainous Grounds in Perryville is one of those places where you walk in and immediately wonder if…read moreyou've stepped into a coffee shop or a comics store and the answer is basically yes because it's both. I spent a few hours working from here this morning and it was a fantastic office for the day. I was warmly greeted by a young lady with elf ears who made a perfect cortado and then I headed upstairs where i was able to work undisturbed for a few hours. Other than coming back down for a refillable mug of their light roads, I cranked out emails and did some Zoom calls without any trouble at all. The service from the elf ear lady and from a man with a killer moustache who might be the owner or the manager was friendly and engaging and welcome. The whole place has that comfortable vible where you feel welcome whether you're grabbing a drink or settling in for a while. I'll definitely pick Villainous Grounds for my caffeine the next time I'm passing through Perryville. [Round number review 800 of 2026 - 531 in Missouri - 25980 overall]

Service was initially slow, our server was gabbing with another table for a while. But once she realized we were her table, things picked up. Ordered the chicken salad sandwich. It's that industrial chicken salad with only celery and the meat is pulverized into a paste. Very bland. The potato salad is reportedly homemade, but also very smooth and strong mustard flavor. Not great. The turkey bacon melt was a bit better. The grilled sourdough bread on both sandwiches was really good. And the pasta salad had a nice vinegar tang. It was actually really good. We found free parking about a block off the circle. Fairly quick in and out as we were driving through, so that was a plus.

The atmosphere is eclectic and charming with mismatched everything and there's always something interesting to look at in their small flea market and gift shop.

Every so often, we'll take our laptops and spend a few hours working from there, and it never disappoints. The ambience is simply unmatched. Peaceful, beautiful, and thoughtfully designed in a way that makes you want to slow down and stay awhile. The space itself feels welcoming and inspiring. Whether you're there for a quiet morning coffee, a casual lunch, or a productive work session, there's a calm, joyful atmosphere that sets it apart. The natural light, cozy seating, and serene surroundings make it easy to focus and relax. Their coffee and menu offerings are excellent. Crafted with care and served with kindness. It's the kind of place where the staff greets you warmly and you can tell there's intention behind what they're building. One of the things we appreciate most is that it's a Christian establishment. There's a subtle but meaningful sense of peace and purpose woven into the environment. It adds a layer of warmth and authenticity that makes the experience even better. We truly love it. Love, love, love.
