    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. They offer comfy but limited seating inside. The vibe is real and I am for it! PS I have not tried their food but it always smells delicious.

    Popped into Mountain House after the farmers market on a Saturday afternoon. Piper the coffee shop dog was adorable and is sure to brighten the mood of any patrons! Busy but still plenty of seating. 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.

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

    Yo this place is so cute! I had a great time crocheting and catching up with a friend over a cinnamon honey latte. 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.

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

    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! We were met with the perfect fall coffee shop! 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! If you are looking for a cozy hometown coffee shop, definitely come here!

    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.

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

    Mountain House cafe is so welcoming, so cozy, and super cute! 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!

    A decaf latte with oat milk...

    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.

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

I made a reservation ahead of time and when we arrived, our table was ready and our server was quick to bring over water and make some recommendations on apps. None of us were drinking cocktails that night, but we did order some tea and sodas along with an order of arancini and an order of the chicken lollipops! Once our apps were brought over, we talked with our server a bit about entree recommendations and with his help, we all were quite happy with the decisions we made and we knew that we could share with one another so that we could all try multiple dishes! The apps were so good, I loved the arancini so much and enjoyed the sauces for dipping. And the chicken lollipops were so unique. Crunchy on the outside and juicy inside. Basically, chicken wings, but the presentation was so unique. When our meals arrived, everything looked so good and fresh. The pasta was perfect and the greens were fresh. The salmon was cooked just right. Everything was just lovely and the flavors were top notch! While we did not finish everything, it was nice to be able to pack some leftovers and reheating them did not mess up any of the flavors. All in all, this was a great spot for dinner and I am going to visit again soon.

After looking at the menu for a while I decided to get an iced matcha with marshmallow cold foam. They had a lot of cool looking coffee drinks, including some traditional options that you can't always find. I also got a cinnamon roll. I was shocked at how affordable it was here. Probably the best priced coffee shop I've been to. The cinnamon roll was very good and the iced matcha was delicious. I will say it didn't have a strong matcha flavor, it was mostly sweet, but still good. I think the marshmallow cold foam really overpowered any matcha flavor there would be in their already sweetened matcha mix but I love sweet stuff so it was good to me. I'll definitely be coming back if I'm in the area!
