    This spot was highly recommended by a local, and I'm so glad I went. The food, service, and ambiance are all solid. At noon on a Sunday, it was bustling, but luckily, there was a very short wait for a table. Our server, Antigone, was fantastic! She provided amazing recommendations, was extremely warm and friendly, and made our experience very pleasant despite the somewhat lengthy wait for our food. The food was well worth the wait. I thoroughly enjoyed my order of salmon croquettes with rice and a biscuit. My mate's Build-A-Breakfast order of scrambled eggs, hash browns, and chicken wings had some of the best-tasting wings that I have ever had in my life. When I return to Hive Cafe, I will absolutely order the chicken and waffles just so I can have an order of those wings to myself.

    This place came across my feed and I decided to check it out and my flight got in from Tampa. They told me where I could sit and when I initially sat my stuff down, the chair was covered in dust. I moved to the seat across that was still a little dusty but not as much. The server came over immediately and gave me menus. I briefly saw the menu online but figured I'd do a once over before making my decision. I went with the build-your-own breakfast and got the eggs and potatoes with a biscuit and turkey sausage. Drink wise, I went with water and a strawberry-pineapple mimosa. The mimosa was so refreshing and I def. appreciated the pour after a stressful flight! It wasn't long until my food came out. I was a bit disappointed at the portion of the egg as they seemed almost too small for what I was supposed to receive. The peppers on the potatoes threw me off. I think I was expecting something different. Nevertheless, they were good but not what I had pictured. Surprisingly, the biscuit was the highlight of my meal. It was perfect! The turkey sausage tasted like regular turkey sausage, so nothing special there. Overall, my server was awesome and gave great service. While I enjoyed my visit, it would have been nice if there signs to let customers know they're under construction instead of walking into dust on the floor, chairs, and everywhere. Aside from that, I def intend on coming back!

    Delicious, Delicious! Some of the best pancakes I've had in a long time and the Omelet had the right balance of egg and ingredients. Omelet with American, Yellow Onion, Spinach, Peppers and Pork Bacon had the perfect amount of veggies, meat to egg ratio. Cooked well and flavorful! The pancakes were fluffy and had a wonderful taste. Everything was hot and fresh! Friendly staff!

    Nice cozy brunch spot. Stopped by with my wife for a new breakfast spot. The service was decent everyone was nice and service was fast. My wife got the build your own breakfast with the Chicken, scrambled eggs and white rice with a waffle on the side. I opted for the build your own omelet with bacon,sausage, white onions, pepper mix with American cheese. Also had a side of thier O'Brain Potatos with cheese. Everythings was amazing and the portions were a nice size.

    I had a make your own omelette. This one had peppers, shrimp, onions and pepper jack cheese. Oh and spinach suggested by my server. Great suggestion! The place is a cute little place with breakfast, coffee and mamosas. Serice was great too. The only things ng that bothered me was the bathrooms and a few other things could be cleaner. I will be back. Go check it out!

    While visiting St Louis I learned about a local small business called Hive Cafe . The menu had tons of brunch options . I decided to order the wings and waffles with butter grits on the side . The chicken was season so good , definitely my favorite. The service was fine , we were seated right away . But as we were leaving I notice all tables were filled . I plan on checking out this restaurant again

    Very cute breakfast/brunch cafe and they're open on Mondays! I've taken a couple folks here and the food and service are excellent. I've tried the shrimp and grits, the french toast, and the chicken and waffles. All of it was delicious. They have mimosa options as well as a bar for mixed drinks. Parking is off street but shared with the local residents who live above the restaurant (that has to be unnecessarily tempting if you work from home!) Anywho, check them out. They manage mid size groups pretty well. I'll return!

    We visited on a whim this past weekend and were completely amazed by this little gem. The staff were attentive and friendly. The chef cooked up a delicious breakfast. And the bartender absolutely nailed it. The vibe is open and inviting, good for small or large parties. We ordered a build a breakfast which allowed complete customization of the items and a breakfast bowl. The boozy holiday drink menu had so many options it was hard to choose one. Overall great experience and we will absolutely return!

    The food was magnificent. The ambience was great. The service was lovely. The weight was about. I say eight minutes, but it was well worth it.

    This restaurant has been buzzing around me for months now so I was excited to to finally give it a try. It was the cutest little cafe!!! Cute little tables and chairs and a small bar seating area. Very well lit. They were pretty packed when we arrived but the wait wasn't too long for seating. The food was really really good minus the large amount of butter. I literally enjoyed every single bite. I'd actually rate the French Toast in the top 3 in STL. The eggs were fluffy and pancake nice and crispy. The severs were very tentative and I have no complaints. The only headache was the parking. Shout to the owner for jumping in to cook! Love to see it. I'll be back!

    This restaurant was recommended by a friend of mines. The staff were very friendly. Greeted and seated right away on a Friday morning. It started to get busy to noon. Food came out within a decent time frame. Presentation was great. The shrimp were well seasoned and flavorful, however the Grits lacked taste. I'll be back to try a few more things off their menu. Restaurant is black own. Parking available on site

    A side of potatoes, grits, and bacon

    The food here at the Hive Cafe is so good that I had to come back again lol. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by a friendly face and the vibes were on point. The first time I visited I tried the Build-A-Breakfast and it comes with two sides, a choice of bread, and a choice meat. I had French toast (2 pieces come with it) and for my sides, I chose grits, bacon, and some breakfast potatoes. I also ordered a Dusse Punch for my drink and everything was so good! When I came back the 2nd time, I ordered the Fast Breakfast croissant, egg, and cheese. I added bacon to it and to drink I just ordered some apple juice. My food was delicious this time as well and my waitress both visits were super sweet.

The customer service was wonderful. Everyone was wonderful. Even to to teaching of someone new was done perfectly. Everyone was very helpful. The food is delicious. The seasoning is excellent.

The southern potatoes were good and eggs were very good. I even tried a fried wing. It was absolutely amazing. The seasoning was perfect If you haven't tried them it's a must!

    I had mixed feelings about our visit to Elicious. We were told the wait for a table would be about…read more15 minutes, but it ended up being closer to an hour. Once we were seated, it took another 10 minutes before our waitress came to the table, and about 40 more minutes before our food arrived. As for the food, there were definitely some highs and lows. The pancakes were outstanding--light, fluffy, and probably the best thing I had. My dad ordered the seafood omelet, and it looked amazing. He said it tasted just as good as it looked. On the other hand, the grits lacked seasoning, and the salmon croquettes could definitely use more flavor. I also ordered scrambled eggs with cheese, expecting the cheese to be mixed throughout the eggs, but instead it was simply a slice of cheese placed on top and partially melted. The staff was friendly and courteous throughout our visit, which I appreciated. However, as a culinary school graduate, I couldn't help but notice that the front-of-house operations seemed a bit disorganized. Better communication and more efficient service would make a significant difference to the overall dining experience. Overall, it was a mixed experience for our table of four. There were some dishes we really enjoyed and others that fell short. I'm on the fence about returning, but I haven't completely ruled it out. Hopefully they'll improve the timing and organization because the potential is definitely there.

I felt more comfortable eating here because I could actually see the kitchen and they had great customer service. Ordered : Honey Hot Wings + Cheese Fries Honey Hot Shrimp + Fries Total : $21.00 I always said Vail Brothers on Delmar had the best shrimp , but imma pass the torch to these guys. I like that I hardly saw the sauce but it's embedded in the flavoring , the coat was still light and crisp You can tell if someone's batter is old because the crust will be loose, so I'm glad that didn't happen today. The wings were perfect , I oddly like party wings more than whole because they are so easier to eat. Normally I would prefer sauced wings to be naked but they were executed well here. Feedback : Cheese Fries are good , but the stand-alone fries need more respect. Go to Restaurant Depot they have magnetic timers that will stick on the machine or table next to it , put that thing on 3 minutes and you will have crisp quality fries every singe time , throw some fry seasoning on and boom it brings the experience full circle I also suggest some bread Get a QR code and enlarge it and stick it on that table on the front so people can know who you are and where to find you 4.5 / 5

On a Friday night there were too many young ppl around the front of the business, almost had me drive away but I persisted because I had to understand what this hot honey shrimp was about. I wait to place my order with all these young ppl walking around going into the kitchen area which is separated by a cart on wheels. Yes you see them cooking but I guess code violations dont exist in the hood so I just turned my head praying for the best and that I wouldn't get food poisoning. I placed my order and waited for about 10-15 mins. Yes it was my theater meal but it was average at best. I couldn't see the shrimp but I could tell some of the breading was coming off. I agree about the fries because they were quite limp and no particular seasoning. It wasn't the worst but so many signs said skip this place so I'll listen next time and keep my little brownie in the county.

Needless to say, I was happy to visit this new-to-me location. It's an interesting complex, bathrooms literally outside and attached to Steve's Hot Dogs. It's right next to an empty/neglected field which isn't the most welcoming sight. The parking lot is convenient though vs. street parking at Locust. They have a smaller menu than the Locust location, especially much less ice cream options. I was looking for the brownie in the mug which unfortunately was not on the menu here. I got a yummy and beautiful holiday drink along with a free holiday shot (as part of their holiday pop-up). The interior dining area is super small, I wondered if they had additional seating elsewhere but didn't seem that way. We ordered food, drinks, and ice cream all of which are delicious as usual. While I would still choose to go to their flagship location on Locust, this is a great alternate location if you are near the area.
