    This is a cafe. Seat yourself at available table. Order from the counter. They bring the food out to you. So there is no service staff other than those that take your order/run the food. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They were busy (sunday around 11am) & the place was noisy & crowded but cleared out around noon.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The menu is extensive. So many choices. There were 5 of us. We all got different items & everyone liked their meals. I got the standard breakfast with a biscuit & added a side of gravy. Eggs were cooled perfectly. The bacon was thick & not overly greasy. Potatoes were crisp. Food came out hot. Ordered bloody mary & it was good. Added some hot sauce & made it even better

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Stopped by for a quick lunch and was shocked to see how empty the place was.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Staff were so kind and welcoming and the food was delicious. I ordered chilaquiles and a latte.

    My daughter and I visited this cafe during our recent visit to St. Louis. We were staying downtown, and the cafe was a brief walk from our hotel. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior was very bright and airy, which felt extremely inviting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There was lots of available seating inside and several tables located outside in a courtyard area as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The layout included a full-service bar serving up fresh juices, coffee, tea, smoothies and cocktails. You place your order at the counter, and you are then given a number to place on your table for service. I spotted an open booth (there were only a few) and sent my daughter to hold the spot while I placed our order. I opted for the Ukraft 2 Combo with 1/2 Ukraft Club (no tomato and the addition of herb aioli on the side) and 1/2 Santorini salad (no bell peppers and no chickpeas). Let me tell you...the portion sizes made for two completely separate meals for me! They were generous, and everything was so flavorful and fresh. My daughter ordered the Cajun Shrimp sandwich (no tomatoes) and said that she could've gone without the bell peppers as well. Again, very generous portions. Her sandwich came with a side, and she chose the Loaded Baked Potato soup. I had a cocktail. The Brunch Punch. I wasn't really a fan. The flavors weren't that balanced, and it mostly tasted bitter. My daughter wanted Sweet Tea, but they had unsweetened tea and sweetened syrup available upon request. She wasn't a fan and ended up dumping that and getting a soda. Sweet Tea connoisseurs would not be pleased. The staff was friendly and fast. The fast part made me feel a little rushed while ordering, but she was super-nice and answered all of my questions. If/when I return, I will be better prepared. With this being my first visit, I wasn't aware that you order at the counter and was expecting to have the leisure of sitting and looking over the menu in a much slower manner. I'll definitely return next time we're in the city.

    A fantastic breakfast find in the downtown area! After sleeping in and missing our hotel's breakfast, we walked over to Ukraft, which was just a short distance away. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The space is very open and inviting,[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] the service was friendly, and the food was delicious. It turned out to be a great accidental discovery

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]We dropped in for a late lunch and the place was pretty quiet--ideal for a quick, no-fuss bite.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's just down the street from the Arch, so super convenient if you're sightseeing or in the area. Our food came out fast and both dishes tasted great. I ordered the apple salad--fresh and light, but I wish it came with a bit of goat cheese to take it up a notch. Almost forgot to take photos (you know that means the food was good), so they don't do it justice. Still, a solid spot if you're nearby and want something quick, tasty, and low-key.

    I wanted to try this place after seeing it on TikTok They had a large food selection, so it was going to be easy for me and my man to find something on the menu. My man, I got the pancakes and bacon and then I got the turkey club sandwich. I thought my sandwich was okay. It could've used some lettuce. If I was to come back again, I would probably try the French toast and the breakfast next time. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I would say when I walked in it was about 15 people inside. It was very spacious inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Mushroom omelette, sub egg whites, added Cholula sauce

    This is the second Ukraft location we've visited, with a similar positive experience. They offer multiple different components of breakfast/brunch/lunch that you can add together. This allows for a smaller or larger meal with healthy options. I chose to get egg whites in my mushroom omelette. I also opted for the Yukon potatoes because they are not fried. They also offer lattes, which brings the whole breakfast package for me. They are located in the Peabody building. It looks like there is street parking. Not sure if there is more parking as we walked from a nearby hotel.

    Breakfast tacos without onions. Delicious!

    Best breakfast tacos ever! Went here based on yelp reviews and it was close to my hotel downtown. Definitely did not disappoint and I will come back!

    Side of bacon and Hawaii 5-0 smoothie.
    Caitlin S.

    I visited Ukraft with a large group while in town for a conference. They were so accommodating and very patient when trying to deliver everyone their food and drinks (it was not an easy task.) I had a side of bacon and the Hawaii 5-0 smoothie, which was the perfect combination. I'm hoping to find a smoothie place in my town to try to recreate this recipe, since it was probably the best smoothie I've ever had. Think Pina Colada, but with vanilla protein powder instead of run. The sandwiches and breakfast items my colleagues enjoyed looked delicious and the price point was great.

    Honey Apple salad and chips
    Gwennita W.

    Today, the office provided lunch from Ukraft Brunch Cafe. I picked the Honey Apple Salad. This Honey Apple Salad is fire!!! There's apples, blueberries, grapes, strawberries, cucumbers, chicken, mixed greens, almonds and granola with a honey apple vinaigrette. I've checked out the menu and I see a bunch of items I want to try.

    A great brunch spot in downtown St. Louis. They offer many different kinds of food from breakfast bowl to pancakes, toast, salad and more. We had traditional ukraft breakfast with waffles. It's just mediocre food and the waffle was not crispy enough. Chicken salad was a good choice, it's fruity and refreshing.

    If you're looking for a BIG and I mean humongous menu for brunch and lunch then Ukraft Brunch Cafe fits the bill. It's right in downtown, which is where I stay when traveling to St Louis, so for me it's convenient and the location provides a nice walk to burn off that brunch. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's an order at the counter model of restaurant however, they do have a pretty stocked sit-down bar.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The avocado toast selection is any millennial's dream! You will never be bored with bland cardboard avocado toast here, the selections of flavors are fun. My Tex-Mex avocado toast looked like a party and tasted like one too. The layers of flavors made up for the lack of texture. The succulent black beans combined with sweet corn made a nice earthy salsa which paired well with the classic pico de gallo. What made this toast most tasty was the generous helping of the chipotle lime vinaigrette on top of the runny over easy egg, which once combined made a super saucy bite. The only complaint I have is the multi grain bread could have been toasted a tad more because once everything was piled on it because a little bit soggy but, the substantial seasoning made up for it. All for a little over $10 this wasn't a dainty avocado toast, the toppings made it a sizable solid meal.

    Honestly I would give a 2 star because the food was really bland but the staff here was incredibly nice and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the ambiance wasn't bad at all[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Self serve Togo boxes and water cup station. I think this place is meant for people to have lunch near their work.

    This is the most welcoming, comfortable and delicious restaurant I've been to in a long time. As…read moreothers have noted, the interior is bright and the staff is very kind and helpful. There are even 3 ways to order: at the counter on the tablet, on the QR code at the seats, or asking the staff directly. The DD Mau salad may have been the most delicious salad I've ever had. The greens were fresh, not bitter at all, and the ingredients were so flavorful. The textures combined with the sauce made for a very complex, umami taste and mouthfeel with a slightly spicy kick. Wow! So wonderful that it's a local collaboration too. We also got The Works, a generous swirl of basil and matcha soft serve with shards of sesame peanut brittle. My friend liked it a lot and I thought it was very interesting. I don't think you could go wrong with anything on their menu and there's also the option to make your own salad. Lastly, you can sign up for tours of their hydroponic farm (attached to the restaurant), which are held on weekends 1-2pm. You'll know where to find me on Saturday...

I'll be up front and disclose that I AM NOT A SALAD PERSON. The closest form of a salad that I eat would be a chicken Caesar wrap laden with dressing and cheese and carbs with probably 2000 calories. That said, boy was my elote salad at Neon Greens enjoyable. It is a lil pricey but worth it once I dug in and really enjoyed myself and learned more about the shop and their mission. They grow everything themselves - so cool. I love the friendly employees and the really really fresh greens and combinations. I got the cheese bread but was really close to ordering the soup instead. I'll skip the bread and try the soup next time. No matcha soft serve available the day that I went.

It was perfectly cooked, flavorful, and honestly one of my favorite dishes from the trip. I also had a scallop dish that was just as good -- rich, well-seasoned, and beautifully prepared. On top of the food, they have a really strong wine selection, which made the experience even better. The overall vibe is polished and elevated without feeling too formal.

    Fantastic food, mediocre service…read more I took my partner her for his birthday, we were planning to celebrate with friends over the weekend but I wanted to treat him to a romantic dinner with incredible food in a laid back environment and this completely fit the bill. We had been previously for brunch but neither of us had been for dinner so we were really excited. From the moment we walked in the vibes just felt off. Not bad, just off. I made a reservation for 7pm. When we pulled up at 6:55 I noticed that my reservation confirmation showed 6:45. I'm certain I made it for 7:00. Not sure what happened there, and not blaming them for that, but I'm curious if that's why things felt off. When creating a reservation it prompts you to include any dietary restrictions and whether you are celebrating anything. I included that we were celebrating a 40th birthday. Despite the restaurant being relatively empty we were crammed directly next to another table despite other 2 tops being available. We were close enough to our neighbors to hear their entire conversation. It's a small space, I get it, but it felt odd especially since several tables around us remained empty for the 2 hours of our visit. I enjoy a leisurely dinner but that not what this was. The service was just that slow and inattentive that it took that long. We saw our server visit the table next to us several times before we were even greeted. I waited about 10 minutes before finally going to the bathroom and that's when he decided to come to the table, so if there was a greeting, listing specials anything at all I missed it'. He came by again when my partner was in the bathroom. We had already waited a while, I would not have minded waiting a little longer for us both to be present for the greeting. I want to be clear that the service was in no way bad, it was just very lackluster. The only real issue we ran into was waiting a very long time for one of our appetizers. Not the end of the world, but for the caliber of restaurant that this is I would at least expect attentive or kind or personable service and it was none of those. He was nice enough, but was very much an order-taker only. We were not offered any suggestions or recommendations at all, it felt very transactional. The kicker was as we were leaving we see someone (not our server) approaching our table with a dessert and a candle. They specifically walked past another party towards where we were sitting (the table next to us was gone by this point). We had paid our bill about 10 minutes earlier and were just walking away. I think "oh they are bringing him a birthday dessert how sweet!" So we sit back at our table only to see the same person backtrack to a nearby table and bring the dessert to them. I was mortified for thinking it was for us and actually sitting back down. We leave, there are 3 people standing there (including the person who brought the dessert and saw the whole thing) and no one even acknowledges us leaving. It was all just so bizarre. I wasn't expecting rolling out the red carpet and certainly wasn't expecting anything for free for the birthday, but I was expecting *some* level of hospitality, especially when I made it explicitly clear we were celebrating. My partner does not treat himself to ANYTHING nice and it was a milestone birthday. I wanted to make it unforgettable. We loved our food and again, didn't have a *bad* experience, but I chose to dine out to make him feel as special and well taken care of as he makes me feel and this just didn't hit the mark.

There is street parking available and a small parking lot across from the restaurant. You can enter the restaurant at the main entrance on the corner or through the garden gate to the courtyard, but you must see the hostess for a table. Entering the courtyard patio is lovely as there is some nice landscaping and water features that make it quite tranquil. There are tables of various sizes there or you can go inside where there's standard dining tables or in yet another area is the bar. It almost feels like three restaurants in one. I highly recommend sitting out in the courtyard patio if you're able to. It really is lovely. We had a group of people and our server, Kelly, was great!

You sat down and KNEW it was going to take an hour and a half because everything was made fresh. It's not like that anymore.

The mac n cheese had that great flavor I remember, but again, I could tell it wasn't fresh. And the biggest dissapoinment, which is what I was looking forward to, was the popover. It was cold. And had obviously been sitting around all day. We sat at the bar and service was great. The bartender was fantastic, and took really good care of us. Food was super quick.
