I found my jam here. My very favorite combination is half of the turkey bacon club (on croissant) and half of the chicken Caesar salad. The turkey bacon club: The bacon on the flaky, buttery croissant was smoky and wonderful. The turkey was plentiful. And the cheese was melty. The mayo, lettuce and toms work well on this sandwich. I will definitely have this sandwich again! The chicken Caesar salad: The lettuce was fresh and the Parmesan was plentiful. The Caesar dressing was perfect. The croutons really are homemade--and were my favorite part. I will definitely have this salad again. I've had their signature cranberry/nut salad, chicken salad sandwich and tuna salad sandwich before--all are pretty good but I don't crave them like I will the two items above. The latte was good. I love their coffee. The ambiance is beautiful. The tile in the main room and the different tile in the bathroom are both gorgeous. Good service too. This is a great little unique coffee shop to have a nice lunch!! read more

What a cute little gem hidden in up and coming St. Joe. The neighborhood has seen better days, but recently has seen a boost in new shops and restaurants with a hipster feel. The cafe is reminiscent of small neighborhood coffee shops, mixed with Italia touches. Tables are scattered throughout, with a hidden nook for private conversations. Their menu is diversified, but still offers the standard cafe offerings. The chicken salad was sampled on this trip , and had an herby edge to it. The broccoli soup is slightly watery, but great flavor. The atmosphere was cozy and welcomed long conversations. A major plus? The space can be rented by the hour. They also allow outside food/drink. Unheard of , but greatly appreciated. We used it for them for an event today, and were so overwhelmed by the owners/staff. Very accommodating and easy to work with. Great space, and easily customized for your event. Thanks to the Pronto cafe staff- you made our day easier! read more

Oh my word!! I am originally from Los Angeles, living in Kansas City now. We came to St Joseph's to just visit. Going back to my "oh my word" comment. I just had the best pumpkin bar ever. The breakfast sandwich was delicious. They did not skimp on the bacon. read more

Pronto Café - a white car parked in a parking lot - Cafes Near Me - Saint Joseph, Missouri

So several weeks ago, I found myself having driven to St. Joe with friends and we were hungry after our long drive and saw Pronto as we were driving around. At first glance it looked like just a coffee house. Oh nay nay! It is a full on cafe and they even have live music in the evenings at times. We ordered a late lunch. We all ordered the Italian sandwich. It was amazingly good, this had to do with the sandwich being made to order with quality fresh ingredients. We accompanied our sandwiches with Strawberry Basil Lemonade and a chocolate brownie which the nice lady at the counter "talked me into"... No, really she did. I swear... OK, maybe she didn't have to do a lot of talking, but it was really good. We got ice brew coffees that were very good. The quality of their coffee was excellent too. The capper was the great staff and their wall of fame. The staff were all really super friendly, really funny, and knowledgeable. They also have a wall with famous Missouri natives on it. Pretty neat, huh? This place is a true find and I encourage anyone to stop by, I highly doubt you will be disappointed. read more

The cafe is too slow at lunchtime rush hour. In the summer the metal tables get very hot & will brand you if you aren't careful.

Food is always fresh! It's unique and and a great place to take visitors in town. They have awesome salads, sandwiches and desserts. Never disappointed. read more

A friend and I recently ate at Pronto Cafe during a business trip to St. Joseph, MO. The service was excellent and the decor was charming. It's very clear this restaurant represents a labor of love for the owner. I ate their "Special" which was a Turkey & Cucumber Sandwich on wheatberry with orange marmalade cream cheese, lettuce, and tomato! The sandwich was delicious! As stated the restaurants interior space is warm and inviting. Contrary to the imposing form of the gothic home it adjoins. I did not ask the history of the property, but it would appear to have been a funeral home at one point, now law offices (and possibly a private residence) with Pronto occupying a small corner of the property. Pronto was an enjoyable place for lunch, with a relatively small menu of eclectic and personal takes on rather traditional dishes. If you're in St. Joseph, MO I would definitely recommend them for lunch! read more

We don't make it to St Joe very often but when we do we will be back! I had the Chicken Bacon and Ranch wrap and my wife had a Salad and Sandwich. The food was incredible and the atmosphere was great. After lunch I decided to have a hot drink and went for the Cafe Mocha which was awesome. I would not hesitate to recommend this place! read more

Atmosphere is aesthetically pleasing. Food is delicious. Coffee is good. Ordered to Cafe Mocha and breakfast sandwiches. Kinda pricy (over $20 for the four items). Employees are really kind and a joy to interact with. Lots of historical information and lots of interesting pics posted everywhere. Really liked the experience. Will be back in the future. read more

While visiting St. Joe, I stumbled upon this charming little cafe. The cranberry chicken salad was flavorful and satisfying. Love that this place has a drive through! read more

Killer coffee and very clean situated right in the middle of town. I'll take it over Starbucks any day.

Went in the morning for a latte and a pastry. The latte was less expensive than other places nearby, and the cinnamon roll was huge and AWESOME. They heated it up for me and gave me a box for the rest that I couldn't finish. This is my new favorite place for coffee in St Joseph. read more

Love this place. The outdoor patio is great and so is the food! Tried the special blueberry mint lemonade and it was delicious! Support local, they have better food than Panera anyways! read more

Great coffee! We always order a white chocolate mocha and the customer service is always great! My fiancé got a sandwich once and it was delicious too! read more

Very nice new café in St. Joseph! We had a couple of sandwiches and coffee for lunch Saturday. The sandwiches were a little difficult to handle as the tomatoes and avocados weren't sliced but quartered, and could have used Dijon mustard for some flavor, but otherwise was very good. They have a drive thru which was not busy, I'm sure that will change when more people realize where they are located. We will be back! read more

This was, hands down, thee best coffee shop we've ever been in and believe me, I've been in many of them across the country. First of all, It's in such a pretty setting and not too far off the freeway. Some of the decor inside was imported from Italy and it's all a feast for the eyes, including the mansion it's attached to and even the beautiful, quaint lights decorating the parking lot. I had a blueberry scone that was scrumptious and the coffee was great too. If you're ever in St. Joe's, it's well worth getting yourself THERE! read more

We stumbled across this little gem in St. Joe today. The service, food, and decor was all excellent. This will now be our go to sandwich shop when in town. Thank you for a great experience!! read more

The staff was polite and friendly. The food was good, not amazing - I got a couple havarti and egg breakfast sandwiches. The day-old pastries aren't all that bad. Just plan on eating your cookie with coffee or milk, but that is to be expected. The atmosphere is comfortable and with a lot of natural light. It is nice having a place such as this near my apartment, so I will be back. read more

This review is for 3.5 stars. This is a nice neighborhood lunch spot. They have artisan sandwiches and make them quite fast. I was in and out in no time even with a few people in line in front. I will come back again if in town. read more

I go here all the time, they have the best salad in town, bar none. They make monthly drinks that are super but I love their lattes the best. The outdoor seating is wonderful and I really like the people who wait on me and my friends. The place is very clean and easy to visit and exit anytime. They have excellent coffee too. read more

I go here almost every morning and get a 20oz iced caramel latte. It's so Delish and so is their ham breakfast sandwich. They have a loyalty card where every 4th punch you get either a free coffee or baked good. We just had lunch here for the first time today. I had the Cesar salad wrap with tomato soup. It was very good the atmosphere was nice and relaxing for a morning brunch. The inside is very clean. They also have alcoholic drinks and I saw there was an unlimited Bloody Mary bar for $5. Service is fast and friendly. I highly recommended pronto cafe! read more

What a great local cafe! I go to Pronto at least once a week for a coffee or a sandwich! The staff is always so friendly and their baker makes amazing baked goods that tempt me every time. (Try the brownies!) read more

As an avid coffee drinker, I'm very familiar with different coffee shops and café beverages. We ordered a latte, iced café mocha and a chicken club. Everything was extremely mediocre. The latte was bland and lacked the creamy, rich flavor I look for in a latte..and it didn't have a drop of foam. The mocha was pretty typical and the sandwich had good flavors but the bread was hard and dry. The building was cute but it was definitely more "lunch cafe" than a coffee shop atmosphere. Overall, my experience was very mediocre. read more

Great interior and front deck. Pastry is also good. Then we get to the espresso. Like every other coffee shop in this town the espresso is not properly made. Espresso is not strong hot coffee, it is a extraction of oils and flavor from a special blend of beans roasted for espresso. This extraction can only be done properly with expensive equipment that most restaurants can't justify in there business model. So we have bitter strong coffee from untrained baristas. read more

I love this place! I usually walk here for lunch or grab a tea, coffee or breakfast sandwich using the drive through 3-4 times a week! Pastries are wonderful and they have the best scones I've ever had! Great addition to St. Joe! read more

Great coffee shop. We got 3 drinks, 2 pastries, and an orange juice for under $20.00. You can't do that in Kansas City. I got a vanilla latte because it was recommended on Yelp. I agree-it was a fantastic drink. I also got a strawberry muffin which was delicious. My mom got a raspberry scone. It was like a sugar cookie tasting biscuit with the flakiest and most moist inside. I'll be going back when I pass through St. Joseph again. read more

Great Cafe in St. Joseph, but it is so much more with so many offerings. I am a fan of Pronto, but lately their service and food has been really insonsistent. My two favorite sandwiches are the Ham Brie on baguette and the oven roasted chicken club. When Pronto first opened the food was so fantastic it was almost hard to believe, great ingredients and sizable as well. But lately it seems as if they have slacked off a bit to the point where I have been disappointed. I've even ordered a sandwich only to have them take a sandwich out of the to go cooler have it unwrapped and put on a plate. But Pronto at its best is really a top place to eat. The interior is really impressive, and new. The coffee, espresso and other drinks are far superior to Starbucks or any other coffee place in town. They also have a nice selection of ice cream, which I have never tried but looks delectable. read more

We visited the restaurant on a Saturday. The restaurant is clean and quiet. They food is your typical deli style/coffee shop foods. Nothing spectacular, just common food. I had the ham and brie sandwich with Chai tea. Was good, but nothing that would bring me back again. read more

The atmosphere and decor of this place is really nice and inviting, would be an awesome cafe and place to get lunch or coffee if the food wasn't so subpar. It just tastes like they barely put any effort into their food. The bread was tough and the food was just average. We had the veggie and the tomato mozzarella. We also got a pumpkin cookie with cream cheese frosting that looked promising but tastes pretty average. If the food was good I would hang out there all day, but they really missed the ball on this one. Seemed promising, super disappointing. read more

First time here. We got a chicken Caesar wrap, chicken club sandwich and cranberry chicken salad sandwich. Very good and fresh. The atmosphere is great. Will definitely be back. read more

We visit here most weekends for breakfast. The food is of excellent quality and taste. Their bakery items are also fantastic!!

A word of caution to anyone who eats at Pronto Cafe, a new restaurant here in St. Joseph ... We ate here and our bill was about $20. I logged into online banking and we had been charged $50. I called the restaurant and was told they'd investigate, but I didn't hear back after waiting 2 hours. My husband went there in person and was refunded the full amount, but the experience was a hassle, with the only explanation being that the point of sale system added a $30 tip. I won't even comment on the food or service because I'm never going back here. If you choose to eat here, watch your bank statements! read more

For Saint Joseph this Cafe is an escape from the normal cafe expierences. Pronto has a great quiet atmosphere that is delightful. The staff is very friendly, and overall provide fantastic customer service. The menu features sandwiches and salads that are surpsingly delicous. The coffee featured on the menu is mediocre at best. One thing to note is after placing an order it takes a bit of time for the staff to make your order, often after I place my order I can wait anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes before I receive my order. Overall a pleasent expierence and I look forward to enjoying this new Cafe in Saint Joseph! read more
