    Iced coffee with a layer of coffee grounds

    So many things were bad with our recent dining experience it is hard to include everything. Our party of 4 visited Milque Toast on Mother's Day. I had reservations for this date for over two weeks and I visited their website several times prior to our visit. At no point was I informed there would be a price fix menu or what that would include. 2 of our party arrived first and ordered 2 plain coffees. They were still waiting for their coffee when we (the other 2 ) arrived. No one explained that upon arrival. We were just given the attached paper and their regular menu. Still with no coffee, no plate or silverware and no one coming to wait on the full party a plate of food was placed on the table, no explanation of what was being served but it was apparent we received the Mothers Day meal. The egg croquettes were undercooked and had to be sent back to be reheated. The rest of the food was underwhelming. A staff member was put out by the request to reheat the croquettes. I ordered an ice coffee when the food was placed on the table. I was served the ice coffee soon after which was the first and only quick service, yet it was full of coffee grounds. See attached picture. That's not mocha at the bottom of the glass. That's grounds! I sent it back and the replacement was fine. The bill finally came when requested and to my dismay we were charged $160 for the food. Extremely overpriced for what we received and price was never disclosed! All in all poor service, underwhelming food and I won't visit again.

    Norwegian pancakes

    Cute little cafe spot. We tried the milque toast, Norwegian pancakes, and eggs en cocotte. The eggs en cocotte will be a must order every time! Great flavors! I also really enjoyed the milque toast which is kind of a bread pudding style french toast, warm, cinnamon-y and sweet. We probably won't order the Norwegian pancakes again - they're a crepe style and they were just ok for us. We found them be bland. Will say that service was on the slower side for our visit, not sure if that is the norm but maybe keep that in mind if it is your first visit and you are in a schedule. We will definitely be back for the eggs and to try the breakfast sandwich which looked delicious!

    The first word that comes to mind when I think of Milquetoast is "local." The ambiance is like a homey cafe, the staff is like and the food is like having a homemade meal... but from a professional chef. I also love that they have special events for the community like $10 lunch on Wednesdays and a communal, family style dinner on Mondays. It's great for lunch or dinner and although the toasts are great, they offer quite a diverse menu.

    I was really disappointed in the menu at this place. I found it on Yelp after looking for somewhere to eat close by the Budweiser brewery. We had just finished a tour and were starving. When we got there, I identified three things on the menu that sounded good. First I ordered the burger and was told they were out of beef. Okay, I'll have chicken then. "Sorry, we're out of chicken too" How do you operate a business with a fairly small menu to begin with and then not have several of the items available? Nobody told us when we were handed menus that several things were out of stock. Once we ordered drinks, I didn't want to get up and leave so I ended up ordering what was the most expensive thing on the menu (and one of the only options available). Was it worth it? No, I would not return. Sadly, because the food was okay (a little over salted).

    What a cute little place! There was parking to the right of the building and along the street. The Spanish Tortilla was quite tasty and the mini donuts were the perfect amount of sweet. I had the Fora to drink and that was so good; I tried to savor the flavor as much as possible. Would recommend for a little brunch! Menu is a little small, but I think anything on there is tasty.

    The food is phenomenal. I had the fruit and cheese small plate. The homemade english muffin was fluffy and crispy. The cream cheese is delicious. My boyfriend ordered the Spanish Egg Tortilla, it was also great. It's a very big portion. The restaurant is small but very clean. The only compliant is the slow kitchen. The food is worth the wait though.

    Amazing. I was recommend this place and went in not knowing what to expect. We ended up being actually blown away. Everything was so fresh, COLORFUL and packed with flavor. All of the bites made you take a minute to process and enjoy. The Icelandic soup was a standout for me. It was a bowl of berries with yogurt, granola and spices - served warm! The staff were so sweet and attentive. They're making magic here at Milque Toast Bar! PS - easy free parking on the street but this place can be hard to find. Our gps first took us to their old location then we passed the right location twice. The sign is above the building but the building is an old doughnut shop. Really cool & cute just a little confusing

    I want to leave a 5 star for this restaurant, but I am a little disappointed being that it took an hour & 15 minutes to get our food. Everything we ordered all had eggs as main, & French toast the other entree was the jerk chicken which I could see would take the longest. Our waters were never filled while we waited, although our coffees stayed full. Our food tasted good & it came out hot but waiting that long left a bad impression. We were told it would take "a while" for presentation of the food but by the time food came out- I was just hungry at that point & didn't care what it looked like. The inside is very cute & open with a lot of natural lighting! Plenty of seating but it fits tight. Great for small parties or large parties up to 6. The menu offers plenty to choose from!

    Looking back, it's been 4 years since I've been to this establishment and they've moved to a new location. This location is bigger, lighter, and just seems cleaner somehow. I absolutely LOVED the Confluence Kombucha flight (every single one!) and the Spanish Egg Tortilla was different and delicious. What I like about this place is how they have very unusual offerings. No same-o, same-o HERE!

    Fluffer Nutter

    My last day in St. Louis and my hubby picked this place for brunch. It was tricky to find the location, but found it after passing it once. My hubby doesn't normally eat trendy food, but he was blown away with the Fluffer Nutter and my Tarte Flambé. Kudos to the owner/chef with the amazing food. Service was also great, the young server was very helpful and informative. My hubby will coming back with my MIL for brunch or dinner (and only available Friday, Sunday and Monday nights) for sure!!

    Root Garlic Brûlée toast
    An A.

    It is a small shop but we hear they will soon move to a larger space in 2024! Food - Overall, very good! We had an apple and cheese toast with walnuts, a fruit and cheese (berry compote over a sweet cheese), and a root garlic brûlée toast made with a variety of root vegetables with roasted garlic. We liked the fruit and cheese toast a lot but were super happy to see such a nice savory selection of toasts. Everything is shareable! 3 toasts for 3 people was enough for us. We also appreciated that they had unlimited coffee. Ambiance/Seating- This shop is small so not much space. Hopefully their new shop will offer more space to linger. The thin bistro style tables weren't comfortable, and the slats were awful for drinks. We accidentally spilled our drinks because the bottom of the cup was larger than the slat, unbalancing it. If there was a piece of glass on top there wouldn't be an issue with this. The shop itself was decorated well and spotted an arch paying homage to the Gateway Arch. There didn't seem to be any obvious restrooms. Service - The staff was great and helped explain the menu. Drinks took awhile since they said they could only make 1 hot beverage at a time.

    Spanish Tortilla (no mushrooms)

    Very flavorful food, friendly service, cute interior decor. The menu was creative and varied and I wish I could've tried more but I'm absolutely satisfied with my choice.

    Such a cute spot! Very quaint restaurant with about 10 tables. Service was really good, food came out pretty quickly. All the items we ordered were super tasty and unique including the iced coffee with pandan which I had never tasted. Definitely worth checking out!

We love the seasoning and skin on the fried chicken, it's perfect!!! The chicken is cooked well, tender and moist but yet still fried hard which we love to ensure the chicken is done. A huge disappointment was the beef ribs and rice pilaf, both lacking seasoning and substantial flavor. Yes, the beef ribs are fall of the bone but they are tasteless and over-priced for the quality. The corn bread is good. Another disappointing dish is the smothered pork chops. The porkchops do not stand up to the massive amount of gravy they are sitting in. It renders the porkchop lifeless and soggy and the gravy isn't seasoned to add insult to injury. The turn over is good, so it ensures the food is coming out hot-n-fresh, the staff do a good job at keeping the trays filled. It's worth a try to check out soul food in the STL

I also got the apple dish, which was listed under the salads but the waiter was sure to explain it's not an actual salad. Since it wasn't a full salad I also got the soup. Both the apple dish and soup were really good. It's street parking but there's lots of spots in the area. The bathroom is super nice with hairspray and mints if needed. Nice place for a good meal.

A small plates restaurant that felt a little Italian. We make reservations and show up to this place that looks like a neighborhood pub. Quaint, in the corner, inviting light shining through medium sized windows. Inside, the vibes were a hybrid of someone's very nice dining room and an old western saloon. I know that's almost nonsensical, but the vibes were good. We felt right at home. Service was spot on. The server was very nice and new the menu pretty well. The food came out tapas style, so when something was ready, it just came right out. I like that. I like the periods where there are so many plates on the table at one time that it's overwhelming. What's what eating is all about. As for the food itself, it was good. I'll give a little blurb on each thing, as not to wear out your eyeballs. Crispy Artichokes (sauce au vert​). These were fun and nice and crispy. Don't see artichokes like these very often. The sauce was a little weak, though. Didn't exactly go well with these fried little morsels. 'Nduja Croquetas (bomba rice, spicy prosciutto, fontina, grenada pepper aioli). Wow, now these little flavor bombs cannot be missed. Spicy sausage arancinis with a nice peppery aioli to dip. An intensely flavorful little dish that I loved. Can't find it on the menu, maybe it was seasonal, maybe it was a special, but we had a bone marrow French onion soup that was nice. The soup was good good. Very well developed flavors. The marrow bone was a little sloppy, though, and we got a transverse cut of bone, leaving very little marrow to access. Next were the Mussels (green garlic broth, Spanish vermouth, pickled peppers, spring onions, grilled LF bread). Very well cooked mussels, sitting in a lovely broth to dip your bread in. Ask for extra bread. But do not ask for extra of that sauce. That was really bad sauce. Sauce work seems to be this place's only weak point. Probably the biggest dish of the night, the Bolognese Bianco (Newman Farms pork & mushroom bolognese, bucatini, gremolata, parmigiano reggiano). This was a really nice pasta dish! Love those big, thicc bucatini noodles. Flavorful bolognese, great texture from the gremolata, and just cheesy enough to make this probably the most complete dish of the night. Then finally the Sea Scallops (ramp soubise, morel mushrooms, house-cured pancetta). Scallops were scored and cooked to look like fine art. Light scallops paired with nice umami from the morels and the pancetta, all tied together by that nice soubise. You don't see that very often either. We ended the meal with a Sticky Toffee Pudding (apple & date cake, apple brandy toffee, crème chantilly, marcona almond tuile). Chef's kiss. Such a delicate sponge with a nice date flavor. Then boom, the sweet boozy toffee, the creamy chantilly, the texture from the tuile. Every element helped make this a great dessert to end a great meal. Overall, another very pleasant surprise. This was a very good dinner, and I'll definitely come back if I'm ever in St. Louis again.

Very nice people who knew the menu very well, and the food came out at lightning speed. The food was so good, too. An eclectic, semi-Italian tapas menu with some real bangers on it.

Tips: Artichokes were great, scallops were great, sticky toffee pudding was great. It was all great!
