I'm totally obsessed with Pink Willow and I SOOO wish I lived closer, I'd totally be a regular. I've seen this spot on Instagram a ton, and when I had a meeting with someone who lived close, it seemed like the perfect opportunity to check it out. The space itself is so cute, it's very intentional and aesthetic. The pink stripes, ceiling clouds, plant paintings on the wall make it so unique. They have a pretty extensive menu, and I ordered a Garden Muse salad and it was delicious. I'm really simple and when it comes to salads, as long as the ingredients are fresh I'm happy. This hit the nail on the head. I added chicken and that made it super filling. The dressing wasn't sweet (which I prefer) and it's safe to say this is one of my new favorite salads :) I also ordered one of the latte specials which was a birthday cake latte. They were accommodating with my order of half sweet, and it was so good! I can't wait to come back for brunch! I'm already looking forward to it. read more

I recommend reading the website in its entirety because the waitlist information is under the Visit Us tab, which will give instructions on how to do the waitlist and what to expect (although from previous reviews, wait times could still extend longer than what is being scheduled) This space is SO VERY CUTE and very pink and dreamy, and I can see why it is so sought out! If there was an order counter for the outside and a host at the front, maybe a lot of issues with walk-ins could be eliminated. Because we were not familiar with this restaurant and literally came here on a whim, we had to order take out. It didn't take too long for our order to come out, maybe 20 minutes. The service here is okay, and I don't know if the nature of it being busy takes away from the service or the team that day was just over it! Our food was pretty good, but if you get the chance to eat there, it would be better straight from the kitchen! The cinnamon roll and fried egg sandwich were probably the best items. I think their latte was pretty good which had a lovely cold foam and strawberry! Definitely, if you have time to spare and want a very specific experience, try this space! Just be ready to wait a while! read more

We were so excited to try the Pink Willow Cafe. It is a very cute place with outside dining in a lovely area. We sat at an outside table and asked if the area around the table could be cleaned as there were a lot of bird droppings next to it. Unhealthy as well as gtoss! The manager came out and explained it can only be cleaned off with a power washer and that is done once a week. (Obviously not today!) She (manager) did cover the soiled area with a damp dish towel. When our order came out the food was mixed up on the plates---my eggs, husband's sausage, etc. The plates were removed and brought back out. Unfortunately the food was not as ordered and now too cool to eat as well as not prepared as ordered. We were offered a redo of our food but declined at that point. Sad to say we will not return. read more

What a fun brunch spot- the menu is great, the food and drinks were fun! Get the lemon curd blueberry French toast! They have seasonal drinks, a cute bar- lots of fun and fresh food made to order. This isn't a quick stop, the cooks make the food in an open air kitchen with limited space. It's a dance and they have it mastered. From a omelette to biscuits and gravy to rosemary potatoes and more- it's a fun stop. The decor is whimsical- and playful making the experience even more fun read more

I really enjoyed this experience. I had the egg sandwich with gluten free bread. I found their gluten free bread to be so much better than what I'm used to! It's very light and bouncy. I also had the brûlées grapefruit and it was delicious. Service was prompt and friendly. The patio is a bit cramped but overall pleasant. read more

Wow, this place is busy! This is my second time trying to eat here. I put us on the waitlist about 30 minutes prior to arriving and we still had to wait another 30 for our table to be ready. It is pretty tight inside, limited seating and there's nowhere to wait around as well. The food came out quickly though and it was pretty good. Got the Monte Cristo. It is a bit pricey for the amount of food you get. I also tried the matcha (nothing too special which is what I expected since it's not really a coffee shop). Cute brunch place but expect to wait for about an hour. read more

A cute space for brunch. Seating is very limited. We seemed to have arrived at an off time (during the week and before others came in for lunch), so we had no wait and were seated inside. (There is some outdoor seating as well.) The food and service were good, but we definitely drove out to check out the vibe. :) read more

I've never been here before and I came for a pain in class with some girls. They had a third-party vendor in there for the painting portion, and it was painting little plastic pumpkins It was two hours long, but I feel like we could've been there at least three hours. It was so much fun. They do have great little lattes and mine was super cute. I just wish they also offered mock tails. Besides just lemonades. There wasn't much to drink for someone who is pregnant. I had the campfire latte in the lavender lemonade with glitter. It was so cute and fun. read more

I would not recommend this restaurant, I went based off the experience. Prior to going we checked the waitlist and said there is no waitlist and come on by. Get there the restaurant is full and only outdoor seating was available. It was blistering hot and no umbrellas or fans. We decided to come down ask if they could find seating inside, only to deal with a very rude hostess. I would never no back here read more

Super cute place, fantastic service, and fantastic food. We came here off a Google review Make sure I mention we live over an hour away and that we came on Valentine's Day. This place is great. All of our food was great. We will definitely be back. read more

We showed up around 12:30 for brunch. *** you can join the Waitlist from their website. Doing this saved us from waiting 30+ minutes. There's a few items for breakfast that are not available for brunch after 11am. Cute restaurant with limited seating with friendly and helpful staff. The server uses a handheld device to enter orders and for guests to pay their check. This helps a lot with their efficiency. Ordered the avocado toast and it was smothered with avocado which was great. I liked the pickled onions. Really enjoyed it. There's plenty of street parking around the restaurant. read more

This is a great place to eat for a girls day out, the pink /girly aesthetic is a vibe! Be sure to join the waitlist early though as this is a very busy spot with limited seating, we opted to go on a weekday during lunch to avoid a huge crowd! I got their seasonal coconut cream pie latte and a BLT with dressed greens as did my mom. The latte tasted just like the pie, it was delicious! The BLT was also good, but the amount of bacon was not consistent between mine and my mom's, mine had a lot more which we were confused about. Our server was great and attentive, for sure a spot to check out! read more

Super cute cafe on a really cute Main Street in Cottleville. Service by Raelyn was fantastic! And their food is really fresh, tasty and scratch!

If I'm ever back in the area I would most definitely return. 10/10 read more

I went to Pink Willow Cafe for the first time this afternoon and was just blown away. The staff were courteous and attentive.

We stopped into Pink Willow on a busy Saturday. The place was packed but we were seated quickly. The entire restaurant is very cute and pink, with tons of photo opportunities!

I am still think about that sandwich and can't wait to be back in stl to eat it again! read more

It's at 4 stars for now due to not getting to taste their food. Please continue reading!! If you haven't been it is a must. pink willow cafe is adorable. we arrived later than anticipated so we didn't get to get lunch. man did those burgers look and smell delicious. Those I'll be back for, for sure! My bestie and I shared the mimosa flight. Wow that seasonal was YUMMYYY!!! We met wonderful people on the patio. And Joscelyn was a wonderful server. ERYK being a coffee lover he is did an expression. I did their Dubai chocolate latte. And it was also yummy! Please support this local business! I think they could open later and stay open later personally since so many people tried to come in around 3pm. But I don't know the demographics for 8am time frame :) read more

Adorable cafe with striped awning and pink bistro tables on the patio. Service was friendly and attentive. I like the menus with seasonal options. The martinis looked good, but i was with my mom. ;) I chose a pecan pie chai and autumn Buddha bowl. The bowl was huge; I brought half home. Greens, quinoa, roasted pesto- lots of nice flavors. I did add chicken. They have gluten friendly options marked on menu and offer GF bread. My dining companion ordered a breakfast sandwich with roasted potatoes. It's a little noisy inside for conversation but also, every table was taken. it was busy! read more

I was really excited to try Pink Willow Cafe! My friend and I arrive around 9:20 and we were a group of 4. When I walked in I noticed at first how cute the place was. My friend arrive before me so she was already at the counter waiting to be seated. When I walked in, I did not notice a sign that said to be seated go to counter so there were people that came in and just sat at an empty table. After we were seated we ordered coffee and the breakfast burrito. The coffee was not super hot, which can be a good thing and bad thing depending on the person. My breakfast burrito was okay. Nothing special and I thought the sausage would have more flavor. I chose the rosemary potatoes as my side and they were too salty. I will say I am not someone that adds salt to my food. My friend and I were there catching up and after about an hour and a half someone approached our table informing us we had 10 minutes left. We had completed our meals and paid, but I thought this was odd. There were other people in the restaurant and open tables so not sure what happened. If there was signage stating 90 minute table time, I missed it. Since visiting, I have gone to their Facebook page and noticed they posted five days ago about joining the wait list and the best times to visit for tables of 7+. I had higher hopes for my visit and was disappointed. This place is such a cute place to meet a friend like I did for brunch, but I would be mindful you might be asked to leave if you are there a long time. read more

A local breakfast and lunch spot that is a must try! Every time I have visited Pink Willow the service and food is amazing! Don't skip on the breakfast potatoes, the best around STL! My only draw back is that it can get very loud and very busy on the weekend. When it is cooler weather they do have outdoor seating that is my go to! 10/10 would highly recommend if you're in the Cottleville area! read more

Brunch with some lovely ladies this morning at one of my favorite spots -- Pink Willow Café in Cottleville! I kicked things off with their seasonal Carrot Cake Latte -- such a cozy, delicious way to start the day. For brunch, I couldn't resist their biscuits and gravy -- seriously, that spicy gravy gets me every time. And of course, I had to round it all out with an espresso martini because... balance, right? I absolutely love this venue. It's such a cute, welcoming spot -- definitely not my first time here and certainly won't be my last! And a little personal win to celebrate today: I finally fit into a dress I've owned for three years but never been able to wear until now. It's all about celebrating the little victories along the way! Cheers to good food, great friends, and small (but mighty) wins! @pinkwillowcafe read more

3.5 went at 11 on Saturday. 3 people The wait was 110 mins. the ambiance was a 9. We sat outside on the patio. The cute pink striped umbrellas provided the perfect amount of shade. Inside was cramped and very loud The service, one seated was a little slow. Took a while to get menus and took 25 mins to get a check once we were finished. The food was not special. It was good just not out of the ordinary. I got the fried egg sandwich. A little too greasy. I had to use a fork and knife to eat it. The table shared the cookie butter cinnamon roll. I wish I would have just gotten that for myself. Excellent This place would be fantastic to go grab a special drink and sit on the patio but you will have to wait to get in so you'll probably just end up at one of the bars that surround the area. read more

What a cute little lunch place! Parking is limited unless you want to pay the city $5 for their lot. I had to park a short distance away. The cafe is small, like maybe 10 table and space for 5 at the bar. Food was excellent. I had the grilled chicken Sammie and rosemary potatoes. And the sweetest staff working! Go check them out for breakfast or lunch! read more

What a CUTE spot! Perfect for smaller groups for Breakfast, Brunch or Lunch with a fantastic Food & Drink Menu! Inside AND small patio out front are decorated beyond belief. Staff was super friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend joining the waitlist online prior to showing up! Service was outstanding also, it's a very efficient restaurant experience. Our small group ordered a lot of different things off both the food and drink menu and everything was delicious. read more

Super cute place! Joined the waitlist for 4 people about an hour and a half before we wanted to go and it worked out perfectly. Our wait was a little over an hour and a half. Their waitlist is online FYI. The inside is darling and they have a nice sized patio as well. We got here at 11 on a Sunday and were disappointed to hear we couldn't order breakfast. Ends at 11- even on weekends. Would love to see that changed so we can try their delicious pancakes at brunch! They do have a smaller all day menu that has some breakfast items- but no pancakes or french toast, etc. So get those before 11. For drinks, we tried the coffee and boozy iced coffee and they were great. They have a full coffee bar with espresso. For entrees, I had the yogurt with granola, my friend had the adult grilled cheese with fries, and everyone else had the bagel sandwich. All of the food was delicious. Good portion sizes and came out fast. Our service throughout the entire time was wonderful. They were short on their staff and it did not show! The decor is so darling- tons of photo op spots. The only other zonk is it is extremely loud inside. We were all screaming over each other because there is nothing to soften the noise. All in all, super cute place with a decent menu- will try and get in before 11 so we can try the breakfast menu. read more

We joined the waitlist at 10:45am, but we were 17 in line, so we waited almost 2 hours to eat here. The space is small, so the place gets pretty loud even if 2 tables start talking. We ordered their Blueberry Matcha, Breakfast Burrito, and Grilled Chicken Sandwich! Blueberry Matcha was weak, and I couldn't really taste the matcha that much. Definitely taste the blueberry, though. I am a caffeine addict so maybe I just needed something a bit stronger. They have alternative milk (almond milk, oat mill, etc.) for the lactose intolerant people. The chicken sandwich was dry and bland, so I was glad I ordered the bacon. It helped! You get to choose between grilled chicken and fried chicken, and I think fried chicken would've been the better choice or ask for more condiments. The breakfast Burrito was delicious and loved the crispiness of the potatoes! We also added the gravy. The gravy is not just any ordinary gravy. It had a cheesy flavor and accommodated well with the burrito! Definitely need to go back to check out their other items. Notes: * Check the waitlist and join when you're at home. * Parking can be tricky on busy days, but you can find one in the back by the neighborhood, or they do have a $5 parking across the street at upshot! read more

Truly a delightful place to meet up with a friend and have amazing food with great service. Truly love this place.

It was fairly crowded when we arrived just after noon on sunny Saturday. But we got lucky enough that a table opened up and we were seated very quickly. Our server came right over and took the drink order, with both of us ordering black coffee. Which when it arrived was delicious! Looked at the menu and I picked out something for the breakfast menu because I thought that was all-day menu, but that's the next section (breakfast only, it was noon). Settled on the breakfast burrito (I know, but it was on the all-day menu). My partner ordered the avocado toast. Both were delicious. Very nice portions and great ingredients. We were very happy with our experience and look forward to coming back. read more

This is a really cute place and a great addition to Cottleville. I highly recommend utilizing the waitlist on their website, as this is a smallish place. Because we used the waitlist, we were able to be seated as soon as we arrived. It had charming decor, lots of pink and definitely Instagram worthy. There was plenty of street parking when we visited at lunch time. It is disabled accessible but seating inside could be challenging if you use a wheelchair or mobility aid, as the tables are close together. It might be easier to sit outside on the patio. Also, if you use hearing aids, the inside can be very loud when they are busy. The have an all-day menu, a breakfast menu available until 11 am and a lunch menu after 11 am. They are open only for breakfast/brunch/lunch. I started with a cold brew with cream and the honey lavender syrup. The coffee was smooth and quite good. My server recommended the BBQ salad with added grilled chicken and it was incredibly good. Service was top notch by our server, Marina, and all of the staff were friendly, polite and helpful. I will definitely be back for breakfast. read more

Join the waitlist on their website before you head over!!! I went on a Sunday for brunch so I knew it would be busy. I got on the waitlist around 9:30am and arrived at 11:30am when my table was almost ready - just to give you an idea of why the waitlist is strongly recommended. Once seated, service was quick! The server was also friendly and helpful. I loved the winter latte specials they offered, and mine came out like 3 minutes after I ordered it!! I also ordered biscuits with honey and they were delicious. My friend ordered biscuits & gravy, and the gravy was amazing - it had a unique spicy-ish seasoning to it. The inside is beautiful. They thought of every detail to make it look aesthetically pleasing. I would love to go back sometime, but probably during the week when it's less crowded! read more
