    Stopped by for a quick bite when I was in the area. Very cute and spacious with outdoor and indoor seatings. I only got the hot chicken wrap to go ( don't remember the name). It was better than I thought. Service was okay.

    One of the few reasonably-priced options in the area that's open on Sunday! Staff is friendly & efficient. Food is fresh and made to order and took just a couple minutes. I appreciate having the calorie content on the easy-to read wall menu. The "flatbreads" on the menu are actually folded in a soft, grilled bread resembling naan or pita. My chipotle flatbread was generously stuffed with chicken, bacon, tomato and tangy sauce. Not much heat at all. Blueberry bliss smoothie is light and fruity. Both were super tasty. There's cozy seating inside and out, but no shade on the metal chairs outdoors (ouch.) Metered street parking, and easy walking distance from the Ritz-Carlton. Room for improvement: 1. there are two single-occupancy bathrooms, marked MEN and WOMEN. There's no need for these to be gendered. 2. no recycling available, and drinks are in foam cups (which I can't recycle at home either).

    On our travels through St Louis, we decided to stop by Tropical Smoothie Cafe that was close to the hotel we were staying in. I walked in to see 3 women working behind the counter. It appeared that they were busy making the online orders; HOWEVER, I stood at the counter for several minutes before anyone spoke to me! 2 of them looked right at me and still didn't speak. They were having a personal conversation while getting the orders ready. I guess this morning while I was getting my dressed I accidentally put on my invisible outfit today. Silly me! Smoothies were good and i can definitely appreciate hard workers trying to get orders out in a timely manner, so that's why they get the 3 stars.

    Tropical Smoothie Cafe is one of my favorite places to grab a quick lunch or dinner -- and honestly, I'm surprised by the reviews. I've had nothing but good experiences with Tropical Smoothie Cafe. As a vegetarian with a severe dairy allergy, I often find myself faced with limited options. Still, the ability to customize every part of my meal is one of the things I love most about this place. My go-to is the Caribbean Jerk wrap without the cheddar cheese and substituting plant-based protein for the chicken with the Sunrise Sunset smoothie - sub-Splenda. I'm not going to pretend this is the healthiest option on the menu, but I'm fighting a brain tumor, and while I've lost my appetite for nearly everything, this is something I still crave consistently.

    Quick smoothie place. Pretty liquidy smoothie but the taste was good. How's the food here?

    The employees seemed very mad and had no customer service skills. They did not say hello or greet anyone and had constant angry expressions.

    There are so many more top brunch places in St. Louis-- Egg, Polite Society, Songbird, Bowood,…read moreBellwhether, Have a Cow Cattle, Clover and the Bee-- but I keep coming to Half and Half because it's relatively less expensive, simple, fresh food, and I am always able to snag a table on a busy Saturday or Sunday morning. There's a waitlist through Google, too.0 It's been around for awhile and always busy with locals so I think it's stood the test of time. If you haven't been here before, get the Clara Cake (13.5) or they're considerate enough or I have single slices of the Clara and other famous toasts / pancakes that range from 5-6.5 to try. Everything else is simple and fresh. You might leave a tiny bit hungry or 80% full which is good place to be Also parking is easy ish since there's a neighborhood nearby and after all it's just St. Louis not SF or LA!

    We stopped by for brunch on a Sunday and were pleasantly surprised by the wait. Despite the wait,…read morewe decided to stay because we knew it would be worth it. They seated us at a long table with people at the other end, but we still had ample space. To started our meal, we ordered a hot chocolate and coffee, along with some of the delicious doughnuts. Those doughnuts were scrumptious, and I even made sure to save one chocolate for after my breakfast. For my main course, I opted for the BBLT, which was an enormous sandwich filled with all the classic ingredients: bacon, lettuce, tomato, avocado, over-easy egg, and aioli. It was served on a wheat bun with breakfast potatoes, making it a hearty and satisfying meal to kickstart my day. We also shared a giant blueberry pancake, which was a complete meal in itself. I'm still reminiscing about that delicious pancake along with everything else and can't wait to return to this place for another delightful brunch experience!

    Songbird is the Dolly Parton of St. Louis breakfast: bigger stage, brighter lights, same voice…read more I've followed this operation since it was a sandwich pop-up at the Tower Grove Farmers' Market, through the brick-and-mortar in The Grove, and now into its larger home in Tower Grove South. The quality has not wavered once. I ordered what I always order: The Combo (fried eggs, maplewood smoked bacon, cheese, brioche toast), extra egg, extra bacon. Most kitchens treat a fried egg as binary (runny or ruined). Songbird has mastered the middle register: lacy edges with a yolk that stays glossy and intact right up until the first bite. I ordered them over hard, and they came out a bit closer to over medium, but they were just as good as I wanted them to be. The bacon carries real smoke. This is a decadent sandwich, big enough that half of it would make a light breakfast; I wasn't remotely hungry after one, the second half was indulgent. The service made the move too. The hostess still recognizes returning customers, and the bigger room finally lets the dining experience breathe. The service at the table could have been a little warmer as we've had it the past, but it is still professional. I was there with two close college buddies, one of whom declared his latte excellent. I keep meaning to get adventurous with the menu, but it is genuinely hard to find a bacon, egg, and cheese toasted this perfectly, and I'd go twice in one day if given the opportunity. 4.8 A full five arrives the day when I can arrive first thing on a Saturday without a 30 minute wait, honestly, it's hard to get a reservation here because of its popularity. Good for them. Cheers to you, Songbird. Dolly would be proud

    *Not accessible *Not kid friendly…read more This location has a lot of improvements to be made. The menu is bland and they deter you from making modifications. I wanted my toast's jam to be on the side and they said no. It was a thick tasteless brick without the jam. The items are not as traditional for a breakfast spot, and when I asked the server what they were known for she said the drinks.... They also run a tight turnaround time so they will make you feel uncomfortable when its time to clear your table and pay the bill because they will tell you the next reservation is in 5minutes. The plates were all different and my guest who got a sandwich had her food come out in a plastic fry basket instead of the nicer plates. Odd. As I mentioned earlier, they are not kid friendly as they don't have a kids menu or kid friendly items like fruit and pancakes. We ordered a side of avocado and chicken sausage as those were the safest for us. Also there are no changing tables in the restrooms. Accessibility note: the entrance is a giant multi-slope and 1 turn ramp into a cramped lobby. The men's restroom is the only one on the main floor and female restroom is tucked far in the backroom inaccessible due to a steep step in the back. It is not wheelchair or walker friendly.
