Vanilla Latte

Always a cool place to visit when we are In Jefferson City. Great atmosphere, kind staff, and even better Coffee!

Strudel

Holy cow wow!!! I had to drive to Jefferson City today for work and found High Rise Bakery since it was very close to the Capitol building, (just 4 min walking) and I was starving. I was not expecting it to be as amazing as it was!! IT WAS SO GOOD AHHH. I randomly picked the chicken corn chowder which was the soup of the day (cup for $4). I was expecting Campbell soup level quality --but WOW. It was so so good!!! The soup was darn luxurious. It was creamy and flavorful, with slices of bacon on top and the perfect amount of chicken, cheddar, corn, carrots and potatoes. I know I sound like a crazy person since this is not a very good descriptor and I'm just rattling off the name. But whatever they put in it was incredible. I tried to convince people on the side walk to go in to High Rise because it was just that good. I actually ended up going back to get a second cup of soup for takeout to go. I wish High Rise Bakery was closer to Saint Louis!!! And not 2 hours away! I also had what I believe was a strawberry creme strudel which was also a great texture!!! So yummy. My fiance got a raspberry strudel in the morning and loved it too. Plus they have free WiFi and nice tables! The bathrooms are also very clean. Also great service!!!

Chorizo Burrito

Was excited to try this new coffee shop I added to my list about 6 months ago. There is a small menu, but they do it very well. I got the breakfast sandwich and hubs got the chorizo burrito. Both were delicious, and the chorizo was cooked really well and was not greasy! My fav is a Peppermint Mocha at Christmas. Theirs has dark chocolate, marshmallows and crushed peppermints on top.i live the way they did the inside. The original brick, plywood floors and loft for extra seating were great ideas. They have amazing looking pastries and I can attest the blackberry homemade pop tart was delicious. Everyone was great and we had excellent service. Great experience all around.

Good, hip spot in the downtown Jeff City area with great coffee, good breakfast options, and a nice patio to take everything in. We were heading out for a day on the nearby Katy Trail and while breakfast important, coffee might trump it on days like these. Fortunately they had a little taste of home (Messenger Coffee from KC) and the Ethiopian was fantastic. I was going for a vegetarian breakfast and the menu only had avocado toast which was good. It might've had a little too much going on for me (beyond the avocado it also included eggs, cucumbers, beet hummus, and arugula) but overall was good. They were also celebrating Christmas in July for some reason, which meant a decorated apple strudel to cap off the meal -- it was fantastic. The vibe on the patio on a nice summer morning is tough to top, with people flowing in and out, and a nice stretch of downtown to take in. Fun spot that I'd recommend!

The food and service is top tier! My girlfriend and I have been coming here consistently for almost 3 years now... And they decided to raise the prices astronomically! Not just a small percentage increase, but on some items $2. For example, the cinnamon rolls went from $5 to $7 in just one night. Our same coffee order we usually get for $12 and some change is coming out to $16 now. I get wanting to up your prices but this just shows you don't care about your customers/regulars.

Back again Such a refreshing salad... and the watermelon is unimaginably sweet! My go to when I'm in town Although I do wish they had more pork alternatives still great!

Salmon frittata with sour cream and capers. Delicious.

What a lucky find! Was biking the Katy Trail and rode into Jefferson City. Stumbled across HRB while cycling past the capitol building. Very good food, especially after not having a good sit-down meal for over a day. Salmon frittata with sour cream and capers was excellent. Fruit on the side was good, too. Not canned pineapple, mind you. But freshly cut. Highly recommended.

Delicious ham, Swiss and gouda with Sriracha aoli and pineapple on side.

Top notch bakery/cafe in the heart of downtown Jeff City. They serve Messenger Coffee so they can't go wrong. I was impressed with the layout, but even though this was recommended as a coffee shop, it is more cafe than coffee shop. The service was spot on. Several people were there at the counter to balance out the flow of people coming in and ordering. The only bad thing to say about this place is the capital hill prices. The prices keep with the motif as the Cafe is called "High Rise," and is located on "High," street, so the prices are high. They had a burrito for $16 and the same price for their breakfast sandwich that was on a croissant. My husband and I split that, and we were quite filled with eating that and having a fruit Danish on the side. He loved his blackberry Danish. I ordered the apple Danish, but what was supposed to be an apple Danish had strawberries instead, so maybe an extra surprise. The Danish was very tasty and with the perfect amount of crisp. The Danish was the only comparable price you'd pay elsewhere at $3.50.

The service was prompt and accommodating. You order at the counter, and if it's take out, you wait by the counter, or if it's dine in, they bring you your food. They even bring your food anywhere outside if you're out there. There's plenty of seating both upstairs and downstairs. It's a cafe-type vibe. The food was delicious. I originally was just going to get the matcha latte, but then I saw avocado toast with a side, and since it comes with prosciutto and I don't eat red meat, I asked if I can have smoked salmon instead, and they said yes! Awesome service includes the fact that I sat on a bench a couple of stores down outside, and someone walked over with an order thinking I might be the customer, and I said no, but the fact that they would have walked down the street like that to get me my food was so nice!

Chai latte

I was driving past Jeff City on my way home one Sunday, and since I particularly like bougie brunch places, this place seemed like the perfect spot. Service is order at the counter, which is fine. There is seating inside and outside, but since it was a beautiful day outside, I ate outside. Since it was a Sunday, there was no people watching to be had, but I'd imagine that on any other day, it'd be a good spot for that. As far as the food and drinks, it was fine. Better than a random chain restaurant, but not necessarily best place ever status. If I happen to go back to the area, I would stop again, but it's not a place I would make a special trip for, which is why I have it at 4 instead of 5 stars.

Coffee and cinnamon roll. Nice size roll, enough for two. Being that it was almost one pm, coffee tasted good. Thanks.

If you're anywhere near the Missouri State Capitol and need a great place to stop, Red Wheel Steam…read moreHouse is an absolute win. It's an easy walk down the hill from the Capitol. Yes, the coffee is excellent -- well-crafted, smooth, and exactly what you want whether you're starting your day or taking a midday break (be sure to get a pastry or cookie, trust me on this!). But what really sets Red Wheel apart is that if you're not in the mood for coffee, you've got options. Their selection of alcoholic drinks makes this a perfect spot to transition from afternoon caffeine to early evening relaxation. Indoor seating is limited, but the ample outdoor seating more than makes up for it. Inside, the cozy space gives you a front-row seat to watch the barista work their magic, while also creating a great opportunity to chat with the owners and learn about the connected bike shop next door. Red Wheel Steam House strikes that perfect balance -- great coffee, flexible drink options, and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. Whether you're a local, a Capitol regular, or just passing through Jefferson City, this spot is worth the stop.

The Lavendar Haze was a little too sweet for me.but the stepdaughter loved it. It was definitely good and very refreshing. Our lunch location didn't have Guiness stout, but the Red Wheel did, which made the hubs happy. I got an espresso AND an Espresso Martini. Both were delicious. The actual building is very small and has limited seating and room. Therefore, the coffee comes in nice paper cups. There is a wonderful outside seating area and would be amazing in the warmer weather. The barista was so nice and very efficient making our drinks. There were several people and more who came in, and he handled the rush gracefully They also offer batista classes, which I think would be super cool for a couples or girls only outing. Stop by and try them out!

It was also right across the street from my hotel which honestly merits one start all on its own. The reason it only gets two stars is that one of our drinks was pretty much not drinkable. I was tasked with picking up the food/drinks and the first thing that was off was how long it was taking them on our order, but that wasn't a huge deal, though maybe it should have tipped me off this wasn't the best starbucks location? Once our food and drinks were ready I picked them up and was on my way back to the hotel. My brown sugar shaken espresso was sort of separating which wasn't ideal, but the flavor was fine so I was okay with it. Not the best one I've had but also not the worst. My cousin ordered an iced nonfat vanilla latte though and she said it was the worst one she'd ever had, and if you know her, you know that she's not the pickiest of coffee drinkers so I believe her. It looked very watered down and it makes me wonder if they added ice before the espresso which is the wrong way to make an iced drink like this. Who knows, but long story short that's a very easy drink and to mess it up is not great. The long and short of this is that you might have an okay time here and you might not. I'd take a sip before you drive off.

The seating was very minimal and even seated at one for the couches, I felt like I was intruding on the group at the couch across from me.

It's a good place to grab some friends for a small meet up like that but otherwise more of a grab and go spot. Cute, nonetheless. Lots of potential!

But over time something has happened. My husband and I have been in business for 50 years and it's hard to serve the public and stay competitive and make a living. I get it, but the prices at this business have reach a point that we can no longer go there. Rising prices are just a piece of the issue. $20 for a piece of the wonderful carrot cake and 2 cookies? Really? Also the selection has gone way down. The muffins are under baked most of the time and the flavor is lacking (except the carrot cake). When I have gone into this establishment there are often 2 or more employees just standing around. That's a business killer there. The new location is dark cold and uninviting in my opinion, I felt she did a better job in the small corner store and the smells greeted you as you entered. Just my honest opinion.
