    What a lovely little spot on Cherokee! I popped in here after a meeting in the area to get some work done and it was a really lovely experience. It's a really welcoming vibe, the baristas were kind and talkative, and there was tons of room to sit and work. It's bright and open, nice windows to get some natural light in. The coffee itself was tasty. I *believe* they have some baked goods/ food options, but I was only caffeine focused for the day. I would definitely return!

    STL Coffee Pass

    Huge fan of Good Strangers. I'm glad the STL Coffee Pass has pushed me to try new places because this place is going to become a regular for me. They have ample seating and a great aesthetic and vibe. Their drinks are greatly varied and I cannot stress how good they are. Because of the BOGO coffee pass I tried their two seasonal flavors - tahini and the coco mocha lattes. The Tahini one was super sweet and a bit umami due to the sesame flavor. The coco mocha one was a bitter chocolate instead of super sweet. Honestly these two balanced each other out so well! And I love they have a less sweet latte available :) The person at the register was very helpful in providing recommendations and alterations to the food and drink. Thanks for a great experience! 10/10 coming again :)

    Interior

    Local, communal, loving... The pillars of a Cherokee small business. And, well, now the esteemed Cherokee street has some damn good coffee in a damn good space. You're not a stranger in good strangers. The interior is minimalistic, yet modern. Pastel walls send you to a soothing oasis of peace. Even better: they have a small corner for kids to sit, enjoy, and play (or maybe the kids at heart as well). The workers were great. Super polite, they use your name, and greet you with infectious smiles; to reiterate: nobody is a stranger here. The coffee was wonderful. Per usual I snagged an iced, almond milk latte. It was great. A little bit of funk, plenty of ice, lots of caffeine. The perfect busy saturday afternoon pick me up. A beautiful space, full of beautiful people, and good friends(not strangers, lol).

    Good Strangers on Cherokee is exactly what this neighborhood needed. It's such a cute and chill spot perfect for posting up with your laptop or just hanging out for a while. They're serving up Baked and Boiled Bagels (yes, please!) and 4th City BBQ Tacos, which is a combo I didn't know I needed but now fully support. The vibe is relaxed, the staff is friendly, and you can tell they care about being a part of the local scene. If you're into great coffee and a very welcoming space to hang or get some work done, this place is it.

    A lovely addition to Cherokee St. Friendly service, and a very large space, complete with a kids corner for kiddos! I'm not sure if they roast their own beans or use somebody else's, but I had a dang good Americano with a splash of oat milk. I will be back for sure! I love that they source their pastries from Diana's down the street!

    A guava empanada
    Abe R.

    Decided to make the journey down to Cherokee Street for for a treat. The tahini latte really intrigued me and I followed the recommendation and got it with oat milk and it was very tasty. Great flavor and you can tell they know what they're doing because it was served at the right temp. I feel like some coffee places serve their lattes so hot and it kind of takes away from it. It was very delicious. I was not planning on getting a pastry, but the guava empanada looked delicious and it's not something I would typically get. Great flavor and the crust was so flaky and flavorful. The guava had just the right amount of sweetness. I believe it might've been the owner but had an employee stop by to check on me while I was enjoying my coffee. It's a big wide open space- perfect if you'd want to hang out or even maybe set up shop to do some work. I will be pulling for this place and it was definitely worth the drive.

    Love this place. Great vibes, drinks, food, place to work alone or together, and holy crap the WiFi is SO FAST

    I stopped in for a taco and cup of coffee. Great vibe and everything was delicious! The taco was a Philly cheesesteak variation.

    This was such a cute spot! The lady at the register was wonderful!…read more I learned about this place simply from the bakery crawl! I'm happy I did. Located in soulard. This bagel place is YUMMY!! It is hard to find a real bagel place in the Midwest. STL is extremely lucky to have this place. I got a bacon egg and cheese sandwich on a onion and garlic bagel Being someone who grew up on New York bagels & New York bakeries. I can happily say that this is very impressive place!! Jalapeño cheddar bagel YESSS!! It's a nice spot to sit and eat inside or outside. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. You can also sit and read or even work. It's just a nice little spot!

    What a cool spot in Soulard. My husband and I live in the area and frequesnt iTap pretty often, so…read morewe always see this spot, but had yet to make it in. A lot of my coworkers highly recommend it so I knew I had to try. We finally had a morning playing at the market, and decided to swing in for breakfast. WOW. It definitely lives up to the hype. Their bagels are SO flavorful, and their sandwich options are delighful. I just got the standard egg and cheese on the onion bagel and it was SO GOOD. My husband got the pruscuitto sandwich and he was a big fan. For what you get, I think the pricing is super fair. Really cool you also get to see the kitchen and everything they're making in back. We will absolutely be back, and will recommend it to all our friends who visit!

Recently spent some time in New York and was happy with the bagels - non chewy, not tuff, soft, and consistent throughout. I went with the New York New York option, ample meat was between my bagel halves. Very filling and great taste. I opted for the potato salad as my side, it is mustard based. Potato salad is always Russian Roulette for someone that does not like crunchy onions in their food -- this one passed the test. The flavor was there but no big chunks of raw onion were to be crunched while enjoying my meal. (Please never change that) Great friendly service. Refills on fountain sodas and tea available. Would definitely recommend.

    Woke up and started wanting bagels and heard great things about this from our friend…read more We came by and were greeted warmly! This place is more of a breakfast/sandwich spot first, before it is a bagel shop so don't come here expecting a TON of bagel varieties. Nevertheless, it was still good for breakfast. I got a salt bagel for my BEC, and my husband got cinnamon raisin for his sausage, egg, and cheese. I also ordered a buttered plain bagel for my son. We didn't wait too long, and they gave my son a sticker that he played with while we waited. The bagels were nice and chewy, and I loved that they didn't skimp out on any of the ingredients. The buttered bagel though was VERY buttery, so be ready to wipe your hands a lot while eating it. It was still very good!

    My review comes with an embarrassing admission: For the better part of a year I've lived within…read morehalf a mile of a divine Jewish deli -- and today was the first day I visited. But not the last! Legitimately tucked away from Delmar Blvd, Deli Divine can be difficult to find (if you don't know where to look and also because there isn't a shop sign). But you will be rewarded upon your discovery! Fresh foods! Hard to find specialty foods! Real sour pickles! Flavorful sandwiches! 'Tis the season for root vegetables, so we each tried the beets and didn't let them drop. Amazing and fresh and gorgeous, I have zero complaints about our beet salad and sandwich (the Herta Peltzman). Pickles, beets, red cabbage, Swiss cheese. What's not to love?! Enjoy lunch indoors or outside in the courtyard for warmer weather. Excellent service. Of course I'm going back!! See you there!

    Wow, we are so glad we discovered this spot for bagels and schmear!…read more We first tried Deli Divine out on Too Good To Go (an app which lets restaurants sell their excess foods for a discounted rate) twice and have loved both orders. The first came with a pack of mixed bagels and a giant (GIANT) tub of dill schmear. The second order came with a small tub of salmon salad, a medium tub of split pea soup, and a pack of mixed bagels. We were generally happy with both orders: Bagels: love that these taste so robust and fresh, even though we know these were excess product and potentially day-old. I also appreciate that their bagels with onion/garlic are not A) overpowering or B) burnt, both common issues we have found at other bagel shops. Schmear: Well made, but few flavors available. They have plain, onion, dill, tzatziki, and strawberry from memory. They may have one or two more that we are forgetting. Salmon salad: delicious and absolutely would pick up again! Split pea soup: Our one true miss. This was watery and the flavors were weak. Would not order or ask for in a bag again. The shop/restaurant itself is so cute and a great spot to grab lunch with friends. We're so excited to come back with friends when they visit and we have more time for a sit-down meal. The major downside here is parking! The lot is small and, while there is lots of street parking, the whole area fills up with parked cars for healthcare and other services operating in the attached building. Carpool if you're bringing a group!
