    Couch Potato Omelette with a side of hashbrowns
    Anne R.

    Ordered breakfast by phone for pick up on Friday morning. Service was very accommodating with changes while ordering and took payment info over the phone. It was good that I ordered pick-up since all of their outdoor tables were already occupied. To be pandemic-safe, I picked up from the front of the building- and since the order only took about 15min, they knew who I was before I even had to introduce myself at the door. I signed for payment outside and they handed off the fully packaged meals, and off I went. Flavors for the eggs and French toast were excellent. Very filling, very hearty, very well seasoned and tasty. The whip cream didn't hold up well in the to go box with the hot French toast- they might be able to put whip cream and/or strawberries in a foam cup to help preserve coolness- but that may need to be tested. I wish the syrup had been real maple syrup, but it definitely had the high fructose flavor. The candies were a cute bonus to find at the bottom of the to go bag!

    What a fun spot tucked away in the lobby adjacent to an apartment building. The charm of the open kitchen concept and family run establishment as well as the various seating options make this feel like home instantly. You place your order at the front and then go sit and wait for them to bring you some magical fresh and flavorful food that was made right in front of you. If you blink you may miss it because the staff is so well organized they create French toast masterpieces and coffee concoctions that would amaze you and quickly! The space is perfect for a quick stop with friends or a more leisurely stay with a good book. You have a great space with great staff taking care of you for breakfast or lunch!

    I went to this place around 9:45am on a Sunday. When I came in, I couldnt really tell if we had to seat ourselves or wait to be seated. It took a while for someone to come seat me... but not before they tell me all the places I couldn't sit because it was just me and they didnt want me sitting anywhere that had more than 2 seats..."to save space for the crowds if they came in".. Anyway...you order at the front and they bring you your food. The food was just OK. It kind of reminded me of going to a family member's house out of town and them cooking me breakfast. There was not anything about it spectacular or completely overwhelming, however I wasn't underwhelmed either. It has your basic breakfast foods, omelets, French toast, breakfast sandwiches... I just didn't see anything on the menu that appeared to be a standout item. I decided on the French toast and coffee for my meal. They were out of coffee except for decaf at 9:45 a.m.!!! The French toast was good I ordered some extra toppings and tried to jazz it up a little bit. It was just OK as I stated it was nothing that was superbly overwhelming. I would go again for the simple fact that I'm pretty certain I will get a basic breakfast that will fill my stomach. However if you are looking for a good jazzy breakfast spot on a Sunday morning I would not recommend this place. It's good for the community that it's in... it's a small little cafe and I don't think that they're trying to be more than what they are so... I think it's nice.

    Amazing hospitality and great food. It's so relaxing here and I wish I lived closer so i can enjoy the food and the hospitality more. The steamed green tea matcha was delicious! The salmon and bagel- AMAZING! The portion was big so i had to bring mine back to enjoy at lunch time. Not complaining tho!

    #23 on The 25 Places to Eat in STL in 2017. That is according to the Yelp Blog and now that I have been, I couldn't agree more. This is a relatively small cafe, with a big personality. It definitely is a neighborhood spot, that welcomes outsiders with open arms. I left the neighborhood before 2Schae opened, but if I still lived directly across the street, I'd be here every morning. I was impressed that much. I knew about 2Schae, but thought it was just a "coffee shop". I had no idea that they had such an extensive menu for breakfast and lunch. The large variety of omelettes available, just blew my mind. In addition to all the ones that they create, you can also select your own ingredients and they'll make one specially for you. One of my favorite vegetables is Asparagus and I'm a fan of Goat Cheese. So when I saw them with bacon and sun dried tomatoes in the French Quarter Omelette, I knew that one was for me. It was a three egg omelette filled with small pencil stem asparagus, the most flavorful kind in my opinion and rich creamy Goat Cheese. The bacon was crisp and sun-dried tomatoes were cut into little strips. Great presentation and the four flavors blended together wonderfully. It was so huge, I brought half of it home is a true, "Doggie Bag" that is eco-friendly. The coffee they serve is Wildhorse, which is from a local vendor. I like it when a local business supports another. At their condiment counter, they offered both skim and half & half for those who need a little cream in their coffee. 2Schae is divided in to two sections, with an open working kitchen in the middle. On one side you have small tables and chairs and on the other is plush chairs and sofas and a counter in front of the window. Either side is relaxing and work friendly. Mr & Mrs Schaeffer (owners) are very hospitable and were thrilled to here that I came in because of the Yelp Top 25. Will I return? - Gotta try lunch.

    A great little neighborhood eatery. They are small but the service is awesome! You get a feeling like you're in a local diner. I ordered French toast and a veggie scramble. Very tasty! Several menu items to pick from and you can order breakfast all day! In order to get to the restrooms you must step into the hall area of the building but it's still attached and not far..Just on the other side of the dining area.

    This place should meet all of your check-list if you are a student or professional looking for a place to do work while brunching! 1) People are friendly. I know we are in the mid-west, but it's extra nice here. 2) Free wifi 3) Texas Toast French Toast with fruit and WARM syrup 4) Omelets. Omelets. Omelets 5) Smoothies and Coffee (the coffee is no Blue Print, but better than some others and free refills) What to do? Order at the counter, grab a seat and they will find you. FYI - you are not allowed to eat on the couches in the back, but I would prefer to sit outside on a nice day anyways.

    What a great locals breakfast spot! My friend was visiting from Ohio so we walked down to breakfast. Staff is vey very friendly. We both ordered the 2schae toast and loved it. We both felt full but light and we hit the museums without getting hungry until late afternoon. I'll be back to try other items on the menu!

    Front door was locked, making you enter the apartment building and sitting at a table in the lobby. Odd sitting at a table with residents coming off elevators with their dogs The server seemed to have had too much caffeine. He was walking so much among the four tables and constantly asking questions that it made us feel anxious. Food was not that great. Had the corner Cristo which was soggy and lacking flavor. Asked for crispy bacon and was not.

    They have the best Matcha Green Tea Latte!! OMG! I liked their simple menu. That 2shae toast is a treat. Share with a friend of you have to. It's small and seating is limited but you will enjoy your food.

    French toast

    BREAKFAST REVIEW Just your neighborhood cafe with what feels like home cooking and good vibes. Nothing fancy but everything done right. It's run by the nicest couple of empty nesters who wanted to start their own cafe. They live in the neighborhood too and seem to know a lot of the people who stop in. I had the Southwest scramble and I shared an order of French toast with my friends. Both were similar to how I would cook at home and both were delicious. They have a pretty big menu, especially in the egg section, so you'll be able to find something that appeals to you. Prices are really reasonable too. I would definitely recommend you stop in!

    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.

Needless to say, I was happy to visit this new-to-me location. It's an interesting complex, bathrooms literally outside and attached to Steve's Hot Dogs. It's right next to an empty/neglected field which isn't the most welcoming sight. The parking lot is convenient though vs. street parking at Locust. They have a smaller menu than the Locust location, especially much less ice cream options. I was looking for the brownie in the mug which unfortunately was not on the menu here. I got a yummy and beautiful holiday drink along with a free holiday shot (as part of their holiday pop-up). The interior dining area is super small, I wondered if they had additional seating elsewhere but didn't seem that way. We ordered food, drinks, and ice cream all of which are delicious as usual. While I would still choose to go to their flagship location on Locust, this is a great alternate location if you are near the area.
