My favorite is the three-meat burrito which comes packed with scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, ham and cheese, with sour cream and salsa on the side.

But they were happy to bring any item you forgot to pick up. I ordered the weekday deal which you picked 3 items. My eggs were cooked correctly, the sausage was just okay to me and the bowl of fruit was a bit small. Personally I'd rather pay a little more and get a slightly more fruit or thicker sausage. All in all I will definitely return here to try some of the baked goods. Or to have lunch.

I decided to try the iced cobbler latte after seeing it on TikTok, and it definitely lived up to the hype. It was delicious and not overly sweet, which I really appreciated. You could really taste the freshness of the berry filling, which made it even better. I ordered a small (I believe it was 12 oz), and it was honestly the perfect size. The service was fairly quick, and the overall vibe made it a really enjoyable stop. I didn't order any food this time, but their menu looked huge with tons of options to choose from. I highly recommend checking this place out if you're looking for a new coffee shop to try!

I had an oatmilk latte, which was very good. I also had a blueberry muffin, of which they get delivered by a local bakery. Normally when blueberry muffins have lemon flavor it is extremely out of balanced. The lemon did not over power the blueberries. Their staff are nice and inviting. They currently do not have an app or website to have your beverages made ahead of time but they mentioned it is something they are looking into. TLDR: Worth going to. Parking might be interesting. Be warned there is a risk of a wait for their busy morning crowd.

Their team members and owner are always so insanely friendly and providing a one of a kind experience. We love signing up for these classes and highly recommend for a fun night out!

I don't have a lot of experience with gluten-free baked goods, so it doesn't feel genuine to say that the cupcakes that we have gotten from Britt's Bakehouse are the best gluten-free cupcakes we've had. I do, however, feel confident in stating that the cupcakes we have gotten from Britt's Bakehouse are among the best cakes of ANY kind, gluten-free or not, that we have ever had. We are so happy to have found them, they made my son's first birthday after his diagnosis not just bearable, but really special. He chose the chocolate cake, with chocolate buttercream frosting and birthday sprinkles, and they were outstanding. Moist, rich and delicious, and they were as beautiful to look at as they were to eat - but you'll have to trust me, as I didn't act quickly enough to take a photo before they were all gone. I had a birthday recently as well, and we again ordered cupcakes from Britt's and were again delighted. My choices were chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting, and they were every bit as lovely and delicious as the ones we got for my son. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the shop is located in an easy-to-reach part of Kirkwood, with plenty of free parking nearby. So far, we have only tried their cupcakes, but they have a large and varied menu that we intend to sample soon (the gluten-free donuts look amazing). Give them a try, even if you aren't gluten-free. You won't be disappointed.

We met the owner, she was decently friendly and explained that they are struggling with getting items made this season and they "need a location 3x bigger and much more staff". Because of this, they were out of a lot of items. They luckily did have gift cards though! We decided to buy a couple bakery items since we were already inside. They were just okay, but we aren't gluten free, so that may explain why they tasted a bit more chalky than your typical dessert. Not sure, but our family friend loves it!
