The menu is sandwiches and a daily special. The staff were really nice and we were given a tour of the restored home and the rooms available. Looks really nice and I would recommend this place for someone needing an alternative to chain motels. Will be coming back again for coffee and lunch.

They arrived simultaneously with the rest of the food. Would have been nice if spaced apart so we could enjoy the apps before the main course. I ordered the meatloaf that comes with mashed potatoes. I chose sweet carrots as my other side. I like meatloaf with ketchup, so asked for no gravy. It was tasty but I probably wouldn't order again. Plenty of tables and booths so large parties can be accommodated easily. Drink refills would have been nice, but it was getting crowded.

Villainous Grounds in Perryville is one of those places where you walk in and immediately wonder if…read moreyou've stepped into a coffee shop or a comics store and the answer is basically yes because it's both. I spent a few hours working from here this morning and it was a fantastic office for the day. I was warmly greeted by a young lady with elf ears who made a perfect cortado and then I headed upstairs where i was able to work undisturbed for a few hours. Other than coming back down for a refillable mug of their light roads, I cranked out emails and did some Zoom calls without any trouble at all. The service from the elf ear lady and from a man with a killer moustache who might be the owner or the manager was friendly and engaging and welcome. The whole place has that comfortable vible where you feel welcome whether you're grabbing a drink or settling in for a while. I'll definitely pick Villainous Grounds for my caffeine the next time I'm passing through Perryville. [Round number review 800 of 2026 - 531 in Missouri - 25980 overall]

This is in a beautiful building in downtown Ste Genevieve. When you walk in, you're greeted by multiple employees eager to help, a beautiful dining area and cute menu with a baked goods counter.

Stop in and get it to go or sit down and enjoy. They brew Kaldi's coffee (one of my favorite coffee roasters who are also STL local). Get a coffee, latte, cappuccino, frappe, smoothie, or any number of their specialty drinks. Or you can create your own concoction choosing from a large selection of flavors with many having a sugar free option. Or just get the drink of the day in any style. They also offer bagels with a selection of house made flavored cream cheese spread.

I was so surprised to see this spot hasn't made it on Yelp!…read more We were visiting the area for the day and looking for a good coffee shop. A lot of the small shops in the area serve traditional drip coffee from a coffee pot, but we like our fancy stuff, so were so happy to stumble upon this spot. It's the only one we could find! They had some quiche that looked bomb and some other food, but we were in just for drinks. They dropped their seasonal today, an apple crisp flavor, and it was SO BEAUTIFUL. I had the matcha which was super unique and flavorful. Another person in our party enjoyed the latte, and my dad had the chai which if you have the time, order for in house because the presentation of everything is so amazing. The hot chai was so tasty and spicy, he loved it. The aesthetic was super clean and inviting. If we lived closer, I would be here every day. Loved it. Great coffee shop in a sweet boutique town. 10/10.

Last time I ordered the following: Organic Turmeric Ginger Green Tea. It helps with inflammation. Excellent flavor. I make it be the gallon and drink a cup or two each day. It works.

That sample makes for a nice surprise gift. The product is delivered on time and you can track your delivery, if you want to. Awesome tea!! Try it people!!

While we visit coffee shops/restaurants for the food and beverage is actually the people that make the place. The woman that took my order and spent a few minutes to chat while I waited for my coffee to be made is an absolute angel. She is the reason I'll be back. That said I absolutely LOVE the blackboard walls with the explanation of various coffee beverages, the classic offerings and seasonal is a cute and classic look to this shop. On their seasonal offerings one beverage caught my eye the rosemary & brown sugar OMG LOVE IT! The rosemary is subtle and not overpowering and the brown sugar flavor adds a hint of sweetness. I can't say enough positive about my experience with The CoffeeHouse. Thank you for a memorable morning.
