Stopped in on Friday night 1/23/26 at The Wolf and decided to try out the veggie pizza and a cup of decaf coffee on a very cold st louis night 7 degrees out. When the pizza arrived it was piping hot and very tasty. The veggies, mushrooms, onions green and red peppers were fresh the crust had a good but not heavy taste to it, the red sauce has a nice tang about it a bit more cheese than I like but it did not harm the taste of the pizza. Pizza and coffee were about 32 dollars with tax and tip. read more

The Wolf Cafe is truly such a vibey spot. I was in the area for a meeting and decided to pop in, it had been awhile since I've grabbed coffee here. When you walk in, you undoubtedly notice the ambiance and decor first! It's warm, colorful, inviting, and so unique. I love the umbrellas and how many spots there are that look so cute. The staff is always kind and welcoming as well. I grabbed an iced latte to go, it was definitely a great afternoon pick me up. I recommend it :) would love to grab food next time! read more

The food and ambience is awesome here. Plus they have open mic every Wednesday and its a lot of fun!

Love the wolf cafe! Such a cute location and the food is amazing. Their mission is to serve people and the planet and they succeed at both! The staff is wonderful, everyone every time is so kind and helpful. Their cappuccino and grilled egg sandwich with ham is my go to order for breakfast. I highly recommend the sandwich with the thick cut ham, you can't go wrong. My daughter loves the French toast and my husband loves the breakfast bowl. Honestly you can't go wrong with any choice. If you haven't stopped in, You should! It's fantastic!! read more

I really dig this place!! If there was a 4.3-4.5 that would be my score. Lively, cool, relaxed coffee shop vibe. Decor is hip, but not overdone. Great mix of music!! Nice cozy warm feeling and eclectic friendly staff. Had the vanilla latte (love it when it's in a big, ceramic mug!), a breakfast club (which was good, but not great) wifey had the Black Bean burger (out flippin' standing...I snuck a bite ) and the fruit as a side was perfect. Bottom line...awesome place to eat, drink, hang with friends and I highly recommend. The perfect Saturday morning spot and I can see myself logged on during the week, answering those pesty work emails while enjoying a cup of Joe. Give a try. PLUS...it's a locally owned and operated business in my town, so come on Yelpers, be a customer. Our community needs more places like The Wolfe Cafe. read more

We visited The Wolf for dinner a week or so ago, and as always, we enjoyed a great meal. This time we sat outside on a nice evening. I initially planned to get a burger, as my wonderful wife and our daughter each ordered, but I saw the Ruben and was intrigued... I then saw it was not corned beef but mushrooms and I then recognized... "it's The Wolf... it WILL be good... order it..." and so I did... it is similar to a beef Ruben and yet different and unique and good and highly recommended... I recommend that you try the mushroom Ruben at The Wolf the next time you dine there. This time our daughter also enjoyed some gluten free (GF) deserts: Coconut roulade, GF Sugar cookie w/ icing, GF Thank you, The Wolf Cafe, for being who you are - great food sourced as locally as possible, with a staff of great people! read more

Started with some coffee a cortado and latte both delicious. Mom got the Slutty burger and tots and I got the turkey, Gouda and bacon sandwich with tots. Tots super crispy! We went halvsies and split the sandwiches so got a taste of both. Highly recommend either. Plenty to choose from and cute vibe in the space. Bigger inside than it looks. Will definitely be back again. You grab a menu, ordered the counter and sit down. They will bring the food to you. read more

The Wolf Cafe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Ballwin, Missouri

Great burgers and tots, and they will cook that 6 oz beauty perfectly, even rare if you prefer (which I do). The only downside is the prices. They are expensive. My wife eats there most weeks with her parents, and this is the first time I've been there because I couldn't bring myself to pay $14.50 for a burger and tots. They don't have French fries. The tots are scratch made and convection bakes, and are nothing like any low quality tater tot I've ever had. I'm trying to not be so overly frugal, and the burger really was excellent, so I will start going with my wife when she meets her parents there. read more

Food was great, but it took 30 minutes to get. I'll definitely be back, though. So many things on the menu that looked amazing. I also appreciate that they had a big jug of water to fill up my water bottle as I was leaving. Funky Deco with tons of healthy options. I sat inside, but there is an outdoor area that looked pretty dope. read more

Unfortunately I didn't get a picture but I tried their caramel apple scone and... wow. Continuously blown away by this establishment and that is why I keep coming back. order: * grilled egg sandwich * breakfast club sandwich * caramel apple scone * chocolate chip cookie It was busy per usual, still lots of seating available though for our brunch people! The employees are always running around, serving, cleaning, taking orders, making drinks. It's always such a good vibe in there and clean! read more

Waited in a long line that moved slowly. I like their breakfast menu options. I ordered the Ham Scramble. Unfortunately they don't have smoothies. If you dine in them they give you a number and you display it at your table so they know where to deliver your food. The Ham Scramble was hot when it arrived at my table. The Ham Scramble has scrambled eggs, diced ham, cheddar cheese and breakfast potatoes. Most of the scramble was delicious. When I got to the bottom of the eggs I noticed they were overcooked (see close up picture). There's not a lot of close parking spots. The restaurant decor is nice and looks like a cafe. read more

Great pizza! It is only available at night fyi. The cafe is nice as well and is open for breakfast and lunch.

Stumbled upon this cute place with a friend and was quite surprised at all they had to offer. One of the first things I noticed walking in were the ceilings and the bench table booths. I've always found the umbrella ceilings fascinating because they're unique and none are ever the same. Their menu has a little bit of everything- breakfast, lunch, sandwiches, pizza, and even things for vegans! Opting for something light and healthy, I chose the breakfast bowl and went with the black beans and salsa on the side; my friend got the French toast and three pieces of bacon as a side. Ordering was simple and was done at the register. Once completed, you're then given a number and can choose a table of your liking. Note, they do have outside seating but it was a wee bit chilly, so we opted for inside. The bench tables (idk what else to call them) were unique as they sat up rather high but also had a foot rest underneath. They were steady for a breakfast run, so we weren't in too much of a hurry but were definitely hungry. I'd say it took a little bit longer for the food to come out than we had anticipated, but we were relieved once it did come. Although my dish was pretty good, it lacked seasoning of any kind. Thankfully, the salt and pepper were close by and after a few sprinkles, it made a world 8; a difference. I should also say, I opted for the cold press juice (not pictured). It was okay but didn't wow me, so I decided to stick with water and coffee that I split with my friend. Overall, the dishes were good and service were pretty good. I'd like to come back since they have a pretty big menu. read more

This was my first time at the Wolf Cafe. Went to the Bling pop-up and I was highly disappointed. Had reservations for 7:45-9:45pm. When we arrived at 7:40pm, there was a line down the hallway and it took about 10 minutes for us to get seated. It took over an hour for us to get our first drink. After we received our first drink, no one ever came over to ask if we would like a second one. By the end of our reservation, a gentleman stopped by our table and apologized for the wait, acknowledging that service was not up to par. One positive about the experience was the food! Recommend the hummus, croissant pretzel with the blueberry mustard (delicious!) and the onion dip. Reservations cost $20 per seat for a regular experience and $25 for the VIP experience which comes with a glass of champagne and you sit in a separate room. The holiday decorations were very festive and chic. Overall, would not recommend this holiday pop-up experience for the price of reservations and extreme wait time for cocktails. There's a lot of potential and very nice staff but improvements need to be made. read more

Upon walking in, my husband and I were pleasantly surprised by how cute this small restaurant was. It was still decorated for their Bling Christmas pop up so that might explain the fun looking atmosphere. My husband had just gotten off his midnight shift and we decided to do a date "morning" instead of a date night since his schedule is upside down right now. We were optimistic and happy to try something new. That's where our positive experience ended. One person was working the counter when we walked in. She was helping someone so we stood and waited our turn. There were no signs telling us to seat ourselves and never having been there we waited to be greeted by another server or worker. Never happened. When the woman was done helping her customer my husband asked her if we should seat ourselves. She said yes. We sit down and again- unsure what the protocol is since we are new to the establishment, we waited for a server to bring menus. They were not on the table like you would normally see in a "seat yourself" kind of place. At least 3 people walk back and forth without saying a word to us (as we sat looking obviously clueless), Ironically as we sat and waited, I saw a sign that said "We don't hate here" in English and several other languages. Well. Apparently they don't show kindness either because literally, workers walking past us, don't even acknowledge our presence and no, it was not busy. No one asked if they could help us. No one offered to show us the ropes. Cool. It's a figure it out kind of place. No problem with counter service. So my husband got up and looked around and found the menus by the counter. We looked at the menu. Everything looked good. We loved the farm to table items. We liked how it actually said where your food came from. This is why we chose to try The Wolf Cafe in the first place. But, as we talked, and continued to sit for at least 10 minutes without so much as a head nod from an employee, we decided this was not how we wanted to start our day or spend our money. It seemed we were not welcome so, we quietly got up and left. I think the take away from this review for anyone who maybe reading this is, food and atmosphere are important. My husband and I love an intentionally decorated local restaurant and who doesn't love locally sourced food. However, human interaction, kindness, acknowledgement mean far more. Another sign said they had no wifi and to "talk to each other". The staff should probably take that to heart. We would rather go to waffle house and have Sally Sue make us feel welcome and seen than go to a decently cute place with a really bad vibe. We did go to another breakfast place in The Valley where we were greeted by 3 different people before even getting to our table. Any employee who walked by smiled. THAT'S how you do business friends. In a world where you can be anything.... Be kind. read more

The taproom boasts handcrafted cocktails and pints from locally sourced breweries. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable about their menu. It's definitely become a family favorite! read more

Our first time visiting was during their holiday pop-up bar BLING! BLING Holiday Pop-Up Bar gives speakeasy meets North Pole vibes in the lower level of The Wolf Cafe. The walls are wrapped like packages and the ceiling is adorned in ribbons and bows! Favorite cocktails: Merry Little Cocktail & Christmas Island Favorite snacks: Pepperoni Pizza Puff & Herbed Goat Cheese Reservations are required. Tickets are $20, but you should splurge on the $25 VIP Lounge ticket that includes a glass of champagne upon arrival, complimentary snacks, cozy private seating, and access to 2 exclusive cocktails. The chocolate chip cookies have a cult following, so I'm happy one of the drinks was garnished with a cookie. Plus we got to try a peppermint chocolate chip cookie, too. I can't wait to visit again to try their full menu. read more

We love the Wolf!!!! The vietnamese coffee is out of this world, the black bean burger & the breakfast slingers & the grilled cheese!! (and i'm not even vegetarian) I haven't tried a thing from here that I don't like yet. The staff is super sweet and the food always comes out hot and fast. Also the ambience is homey and happening. Definitely a Ballwin staple! read more

This place was great! Neat ambiance and amazing food. I am still dreaming about the grilled cheese and tomato soup combo I had. Toasted sourdough bread with mixed cheese (including goat cheese) then drizzled with honey. Is there anything better? Only if you add their homemade, chunky tomato basil soup. Then it's perfect. I also had a phenomenal bloody mary and their signature egg-free cookie. Highly recommend everything and will be back when I am in the area again! read more

One of my favorite places in STL! It's such a cute little lunch spot. It's also a great spot to grab coffee, a smoothie/juice, breakfast or a casual dinner. My favorite thing about this place is their general concern for being socially responsible. They produce significantly less waste than other restaurants and have many vegetarian/vegan options to choose from. This place really has something for everyone on their menu, another reason I love it so much. They have burgers, pizza, salad, meat & vegetarian sandwiches, and good appetizers. I got the chili & veggie sandwich. Both super good. The veggie sandwich came with a really good sauce on it and was super fresh and served on soft, sweet bread. A great combo. The chili was filled with beans and different veggies, I was a huge fan. My grandpa got the turkey club with tater tots. One thing about The Wolf is they air fry their tater tots making them SOOOO crunchy!!! Truly the best tater tots ever. They also have a selection of bakery items. My favorite chocolate chip cookie ever is from The Wolf. It's very different from what you might expect. It is NOT your typical soft, warm, gooey, super-sweet cookie. It crumbles easily, isn't too sweet, and is pretty dense on the inside. Its soooo good, probably pretty different from every chocolate chip cookie you've ever had. Definitely worth a try. read more

If you're looking for a Holiday Pop Up bar outside of St. Louis in Clayton area, this one is for you! read more

Been here several times and really enjoy the atmosphere and quality of food. However, I always leave a little hungry as their portions are very small. Also had to ignore the sign on their door that says no outside food under any circumstances. Four adults in our party were eating, but my small children have food intolerances and a packed lunch, so I realize they're trying to deter squatters but for parents and those with allergies/intolerances that's a daunting mandate. I'd leave and not come back if it was challenged, but fortunately it was not. read more

Last night my husband, SIL, friend, and I braved the cold and snow to visit the Wolf Taproom for dinner and some drinks. My husband and I had been there for their holiday popup, Bling!, but not during normal operation. The taproom entrance is around the other side of the building from the cafe entrance, and is one level down from the cafe. The cafe was closed when we went, but I believe you can go in the cafe level and take the elevator down if you park on that side of the building. We visited in a Saturday night and there was plenty of parking. This building has its own parking lot. I have visited the cafe during the day and the lot was more full, so I think the availability just depends on the day/time of day. The taproom has a large section of high tops and a section with about 6 or 8 large picnic tables like you'd see in a bierhall. They also have a separate lounge room which you access once you're inside the taproom. We didn't go in there, but my husband and I sat in there for the holiday popup and it has a cozy/classy and intimate vibe. We chose to sit at the picnic table since we were planning to get a few pizzas and the high top tables looked pretty small. We grabbed a menu from the bar to peruse the options and make our choices. The beer list is on the wall and the cocktails and food are on the paper menu. I tried the Pickle Lane cocktail because I absolutely love pickles. I must not love the taste of the liquor in the cocktail because I was hoping it would taste basically like straight-up pickle juice but it didn't. My SIL tasted it and liked it more than I did. The bartender said it's a polarizing drink - you love it or hate it! My SIL got the Cafe Beignet cocktail (like an espresso martini), my friend got the Dapper Dan cocktail (like an old fashioned), and my husband got a winterbock beer. We also got a second round which included a couple more beers and the Fairy drink, which was light and refreshing (prosecco, green tea, lemon, and some other ingredients). Everyone enjoyed their drinks! The food menu in the taproom is pizza plus a few appetizers. We ended up choosing three of the 12" pizzas to share: Korean bbq, Hawaiian, and hot honey pepperoni. They were all delicious! One thing that threw me off a little bit was that the chicken is breaded on the Korean bbq pizza, but it was still good. They use fresh pineapple on their Hawaiian pizza, and there's also fresh jalepeno on it for a little kick. The hot honey pepperoni pizza seems like a new-ish classic combo and it doesn't disappoint! I would order any of these pizzas again, but I have my eye on the pickle pizza for next time! A live band showed up and started playing around 7 or so. The bar didn't initially turn off the music playing over the sound system, but they ended up turning it off so the only music was the band. They were pretty good! We had a great experience here and will return! It's nice to find a fun, chill hangout spot in west county! I recommend checking the taproom and cafe out! read more

Stopped in for lunch and it was not that great first you have to wait in a long line to order which didn't make sense since they were bringing out all the stuff might as well have waiters come up and take your order just made it a little more difficult with it being a lot of seating areas and long lines. The service wasn't all that the lady who took my order seemed to be in a rush and wasn't that friendly. Also my drink was ready and I was in the restroom and the guys must of been looking for me then I said the drink was mine he rudely set it on the table for me to pick it back up which was ignorant. The decor was off seemed like your walking into a teenage kids room with all the dark theme wasn't my type of style just felt like stuff was put up to cover up the walls it was a bit much, looked like a bar theme in the back park in the bigger dining area. The food was really basic no flavor the coffee was good but nothing amazing. The salad was also very basic definitely not your authentic med salad very dry. Pretty disappointing! read more

The Wolf Cafe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Ballwin, Missouri

I reviewed The Wolf a number of years ago and gave them three stars and that was appropriate for that visit. Over the years, my opinion changed! We love this restaurant and come here somewhat often for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The decor is eclectic, fun, and interesting. There's usually good music playing in the background. There are a number of tables inside, as well as patio seating. The whole vibe is relaxed, with a community feel. Orders are placed at a counter and food is delivered to your table. Employees are friendly and laid back. It can take a little time to get your food, so get something to drink and relax while you wait. The food is delicious! I've never had anything there that I didn't care for. Some of my favorites are the French toast for breakfast and the sweet n salty grilled cheese for lunch or dinner. There are vegan and vegetarian options on the menu. The Wolf has a taproom and cocktail lounge in the same building. We haven't been yet, but we hope to remedy that soon! read more

I also love their avocado toast with an egg on top. Yumminess!! read more

I came here with my friend who is an expert on all things ADA accessibility, and it passed the test! The bathrooms were up to par as well as inside & outside seating. The food was delicious & creative - lots of options for daytime and night time. Only issue was we got there right at the change between breakfast and lunch. The girl at the counter told us we could still get breakfast, but apparently we the kitchen had already put it all away, so we were a bit disappointed we couldn't get the breakfast option we chose- maybe next time. We had a great time chatting on the patio- relaxing, laid-back atmosphere! read more

My family of 7 were visiting St. Louis on a three day trip. We decide each trip to go out and try new local food spots for lunch and dinners. We were turned onto this place from our local friends for having great craft, beer and wine, selections, paired with wonderful sandwiches, and boy did they deliver! My wife and I decided to go halfsies on the grilled cheese and wished we had each gotten one. I sat at the bar drinking one of my favorite local breweries while I ordered the takeout. The atmosphere is unique and very diverse in that they have a bar, a good order area, a wine seating area, and a music venue all under one roof. For those that use Untappd like I do to search out good beer, be forewarned that they do not update as frequently as they should. I went here for a rare BA stout pour and they had changed the tap handle a week ago... this combined with a few other small things like presentation, service promptness, and seating get them the 4 star rather than 5. I will definitely be coming back to see how they evolve their business in the coming years! read more
