    This is a go to coffee spot when out and about STL. They have plenty of coffee options to choose from. My favorite seasonal coffee they offer right now is the Teddy bear latte. It is by far 10 out 10. The service is excellent. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They offer comfy but limited seating inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe is real and I am for it![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] PS I have not tried their food but it always smells delicious.

    Popped into Mountain House after the farmers market on a Saturday afternoon. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Piper the coffee shop dog was adorable and is sure to brighten the mood of any patrons![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Busy but still plenty of seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was quick and coffee house staff was friendly. Food was ok, and same with the coffee. Nothing super standout but definitely decent! Had a lovely time here.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Yo this place is so cute![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I had a great time crocheting and catching up with a friend over a cinnamon honey latte.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Their service was great and the drink was tasty. Also they have a crochet and knitting group on Saturday mornings :) the owner told me and he was very kind. Rating it a 4/5 because it is some place I would go again.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love the space and I loved my mocha![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They had a sweet cafe dog inside ready to greet we went in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The barista was very welcoming and we chatted for a few minutes while they made my coffee. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a warm and wonderful spot![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    A fantastic local coffee gem! The food was delicious and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the vibes were cozy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Bonus points for the adorable house dog, such a delightful surprise that made the visit even more memorable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Shop dog

    Delicious food and drink. We got the coffee cake/bundt and it was yummy. We originally ordered the cinnamon roll which looked great and then unfortunately found out that they were out of them, but we were able to order a delicious bacon and egg croissant sandwich instead. I was very pleased with the warm customer service in this could-have-been-awkward moment. The space felt calm and it resonated with those good community vibes that make you want to keep coming back. Would definitely order everything again (Churro iced latte with oat milk was bomb). The only thing I would critique is that the adorable shop dog poops in the grass right outside the cafe and we almost stepped in it both walking in and leaving. Watch your step when you go. Love the dog though!

    S'mores Breve!

    Honesty we had a wonderful experience!! I was visiting my friend and we decided to try a new St. Louis coffee shop! Have to shake things up sometimes! [[HIGHLIGHT]]We were met with the perfect fall coffee shop![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We each ordered a s'mores Breve! So delicious! And the baristas were so nice! We got to chatting and had such a fun little conversation! They also gave us some recommendations of their fav drinks! [[HIGHLIGHT]]If you are looking for a cozy hometown coffee shop, definitely come here![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    A cute, neighborhood location on a quiet street is the perfect spot for this coffee shop. This is not a cookie-cutter, chain store place. The shop is cozy and cute, with a friendly dog adding to the homey feel. The owner took our orders, talked to us about the coffee and preparation he uses, and prepared our drinks. They were excellent. We also enjoyed a couple of pastries as we sat out on the patio area in the sunshine. So glad we discovered Mountain House Cafe; we'll definitely be back.

    Piper being the best hostess

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]New favorite coffee shop, the cold brew was really good and the atmosphere was incredible.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I went alone but I felt like I was getting coffee with friends.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Plus, Piper is the best door greeter I've ever met.

    A decaf latte with oat milk...
    Wanda H.

    Service is friendly and quick. It's a neat building, but it looks like they're still putting on finishing touches. The owner has a dog, which I initially thought was pretty neat. But while I was sitting there, the dog kept barking at people walking by on the sidewalk. For those indoors, it's not real pleasant. The coffee was good and reasonably priced.

    Salted caramel latte

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Mountain House cafe is so welcoming, so cozy, and super cute![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Not only are you often greeted by a cute dog named Piper, but all of the employees and the owner are kind and beyond helpful. Coffee and food was lovely. My favorite is the lemon blueberry muffin, but they have an amazing gluten free chocolate banana muffin as well. Would come every day if I could!

The high chair for our baby accomodationed these tables and the staff welcomed us in nicely. We really appreciated a nice restaurant welcoming in A: kids B: us after a Zoo day. We loved how they had the garage door open for the air to come in on the nice day. The bar / high top are had plenty of space and was very comfortable. They had a great happy hour around 3pm, both our appetizers were on the happy hour menu, as well as our Pinot Grigio drinks. The food was excellent, we had focaccia bread, and fried calamaris. We didn't have them but the wagu sliders and chicken lollipops both were popular at the other table. We also got a white chocolate tiramisu to go that was fantastic. Great bread = Great dessert Really appreciated our waitress / bartender that day, she said she had four grown kids of her own, as well as appreciated the rest of the staff. Thank you for a great meal and service! See you again soon

    Let me start with the good. Service was amazing! Our waitress was outstanding as were other staff…read moreencountered during our visit. The appetizers, artichokes, zucchini fries and Burratta were amazing and the whole party enjoyed them. This was a birthday dinner for me so I was excited when I got there (my former review was about our amazing lunch there so I expected so much more). My mother ordered the pork chop which she enjoyed, she said it wasn't special but it was a good pork chop. My brother ordered the crab enchiladas which he hated. He did admit that it could be a taste thing as he expected sauce and there was bone, just cheese and noodles and crab and not enough cheese. My daughter and I both ordered filet and lobster with scalloped potatoes. I overlooked that it was served with sauce, which had it been flavorful sauce would have been okay but it was as if they took milk... just milk and poured it over each plate. The steaks were not medium as expected... more like a medium well and the lobster... well it is weirdly shredded partially with a bit left in the tail... my daughter complained hers was chewy and mine was ungodly nasty fishy. I even gave my daughter a piece of mine which she said tasted nothing like hers and she couldn't even swallow it. I am not a person to eat a significant portion of a meal and complain so we just ate what we wanted but it didn't take a lot to eat a significant portion because there wasn't much there. For 75 a plate I expected at least quality food and what I received was not quality food. The potato was not bad to me but everything on the table was served tepid and not at all hot. However there were some things warmer than others... my steak was warm, my daughters was cold, her lobster was warm and mine was not. The pork chop was just tepid and the potatoes were just cold. The same went with appetizers, fried artichokes were cold but zucchini was so hot I burned my mouth.... It was much busier when we went last night than when we went for dinner and i left feeling as if they either need more cooks or one that can handle a busy restaurant because the food was just not good. A big disappointment as it was my birthday dinner and one I had really looked forward to. If I were to go back it would be for the lobster roll which was the amazing lunch I had some time back or for an appetizer and a drink and that simply because the staff really are great and the little store out front so cute and J love Italian Grocers... If you go here I recommend asking questions and taking a look at reviews of what you would like to order. Again, I recognize everyone has different tastes and this review speaks to my thoughts on the food last night not on the restaurant as a whole which I feel tries very hard to be a good experience for customers.

    This is my second time visiting this neighborhood coffee shop in a residential area of Tower Grove…read moresouth. It is LGBT friendly and affirming. It's definitely a safe place. There is a one person unisex bathroom. They have an entrance with a few steps or a full ramp to enter. It is street parking only and I've always been able to get a close parking spot as many residents in the neighborhood walk there. There are scattered tables throughout the restaurant. There are plants in the front window, local artists artwork on the wall for sale and a glass case full of goodies. You order at the counter and they bring your order to the table when it's ready. On this visit, I ordered a breakfast bowl that had potatoes, eggs, cheese, spinach and tomatoes, with a side of toast. I also ordered a black pepper & rosemary scone, and a cold brew coffee. Everything was absolutely delicious. Besides this establishment having a wonderful and welcoming vibe, the staff is top-tier. They were so incredibly kind, friendly and patient. Absolutely love them!

The locals are here, the laptops are out, and someone is definitely writing a screenplay in the corner. They roast coffee in-house and keep things community focused. Parfait + coffee = I have my life together starter pack or it appears that way anyway.
