Meshuggah's Americano, breakfast 'bagel' (I got mine on sourdough), and thought-provoking reading to start the day.
Adam B.

I never tire of this place. It isn't fancy. It's not presumptuous. It's simply the neighborhood - students, older locals, and others, all talking, laughing, drinking their coffee, eating any variety of their breakfasts and more, and enjoying time together in this comfortably appointed coffee shop on Delmar. People know one another here, with the staff and owners checking in with regulars and welcoming new people as though they've always been here. I come here as often as I can - my go-to is their black coffee, each cup of which is essentially this delicious freshly steamed/brewed americano - and today I added their breakfast bagel, made by my request on sourdough. I meet here with colleagues, friends, and myself, making space to read and think and be in a place that's just good and honest and kind. I'll be back again soon.

Lavender oat latte

Cute and delicious! I sometimes forget about this hidden gem of a cafe but when I do go I always enjoy my time there. Today I'm enjoying their iced lavender oat milk latte. I love the plants in the window, the window seating, the eclectic decorations, and fun menu boards. They have a plethora of options, too! The staff was helpful and quick. Excited to take a book here and read in the window sometime :)

My favorite spot on the loop. The coziest atmosphere perfect for catching up with friends or catching up on work. The matcha latte is delicious and I get it every time I go. The bagels are also good, and the spotted pig is probably my favorite. Definetly go for the everything bagel! Service is always friendly and quick.

The service is excellent and ambiance is perfect for small groups, couples and individuals. The only thing that I wasn't too fond about was not having an option to have my coffee served in a cup for in-house consumption.

Inside. The line may be long, but it moves fast!

We wanted a special breakfast and, by golly, we got it! Meshuggah Cafe is cute as all get out, with fabulous art for sale on the walls. Oh, and the food is great, too! I loved the vibe. There were a lot of students with laptops, which makes sense given the cafe's proximity to Washington University. The staff taking our order and delivering our food... all very nice and cool. I apologize, I don't recall what we ordered, but I can attest both of our bagels were fantastic. I'll state with confidence - no matter what you order, you will love it! And the Ube colored smoothie, not on the menu, must have been a special. I'm here to tell you it was special. I remember it and it was GOOD! If you're in the area and looking for a breakfast spot, this is it!

Their customer service is so nice! A cute mom and pop place. I think their food is good, nothing too crazy but a nice solid place.

Wanda H.

Cute place. They did have decaf which I always appreciate. They modified the flavoring well (1/2 the sweetness) and were quick with the delivery. The price was reasonable.

Outside patio for dining!

Great service and best bagel sandwich in the Lou! We sat outside and enjoyed people watching in UCity. Love this little breakfast nook!

cheese, egg, and bacon on an everything bagel sandwich
Vivienne C.

The vibes in this place are so cute! First time trying this place out and got a cute little nook upstairs to eat, and definitely would consider doing homework here. The ordering was fast and efficient and the prices weren't too bad. I ordered the cheese, egg, and bacon on an everything bagel sandwich, I forgot its name. I've never been a big fan of everything bagels, but the bagels here are actually amazing as it is super toasty and the seasoning on top is not overpowering the semi-sweet carb. Wish there was more bacon in the mix, but I did really appreciate the fluffy eggs with cheese. I felt super full afterward, it could be considered a brunch item honestly, so I would say that it's pretty worth the $8. Overall, great experience and Meshuggah. I will definitely be back for more and studying.

Bruno & Iced Thai Coffee
Amanda D.

Cute little place with tasty bites and yummy coffee! Got a toasted, everything bagel sammy, with eggs, turkey, spinach, and mozzarella. It was hot, crunchy and soft at the same time, full of flavor, the the texture was on point. Paired with an iced Thai coffee (coffee & condensed milk). We also got a Turkey Club (not pictured, sorry!) and iced tea. Our total was around $30 for 2 drinks and 2 sandwiches. The service was pretty quick, staff was friendly and helpful, the place felt cozy, and the walls were adorned with local artists paintings for sale. I will be back to try another menu item and coffee!

This is a perfect place to get a lox and bagel on an everything bagel. Their cold brew is very flavorful and the service is fast.

There was something so nostalgic walking up and opening the door; it definitely was bc of the…read morebuilding and the brick, or maybe the grand study area, or the shelves of books upon books... or maybe the handwritten menu sign. But the nostalgia was so charming and brought me back to a place in Queens, NY in the early 2000s and a coffee shop that I used to visit during high school. Anywhooo - the vibes were fun and I got my order in right away. This is space does not rush, so do not feel like you have to go-go-go here. Just order your coffee and hang back bc when I got my coffee (The Tragedy) and my husband's (The Protagonist), that flavor was perfect. I wish I lived closer because I would love to be here daily writing and reading like I used to. HIGHLY recommend!

As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by the baristas. I received a compliment on the shirt I was wearing and then we placed our order. He immediately asked if Kylie would like a pup cup which she happily accepted. The layout of the space reminds me of an online library - rows of books, couches, board games, etc. they even had a kids library area which was so cute! Their menu offers more than just coffee too, which was awesome! They also have specialty lattes available. Kylie made herself at home and got tons of attention from all the sweet customers. Can't wait to go back!

Me and a friend went there and we both ordered the same corn dog, half and half original Korean corn dog, on the same order ticket. As soon as we got there I noticed we were the only ones in line and the restaurant was pretty empty, so we should get our food fairly quickly. About a line of 5 people came, ordered their food, and received their food before we ever got ours. We kept waiting and the waitress finally brought our food after about 30 minutes of waiting, but only my friend received his food. We waited longer for my food to come and it still took them about an extra ten minutes, which wasn't given to us until we went to the counter and let them know I still haven't received my food and it was then they gave me my corn dog. After I finally received my food I noticed how big it was and was at least excited to try it, but as soon as I bit into it, the majority of the inside was air and a little bit of mozzarella cheese. I was really disappointed by this experience and had high hopes I was going to enjoy it. I'm giving this experience 1 star, this place has great foods and desserts that they offer and could be better, but the staff really has to step up their performance.

It was pretty busy for being close to closing time which is great, birthday parties were being celebrated, families grabbing ice cream, and folks like us not ready to end their evening.

It was absolutely fantastic and really hit the spot. The quality of ice cream with the little kick of espresso/ cocktail was so great.

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.
