I came back to work while spending time outside of my home. The upstairs is perfect for remote work! It's quiet, spacious, airy and you still get the touch of service you need. There's a water station and a large, single bathroom for patron use. I ordered the chicken gyro and it was sooo juicy! The chicken couldn't have been cooked better. The fries are so good. I also ordered a cup of lemon orzo soup which is a MUSTTTTT. I can't pass it up. read more

My friends and I had a lovely afternoon lunch here on a Sunday afternoon. We had been out running errands, and when we were talking about lunch spots, I recommended Cafe Amalia since I had heard so much about it...and let me just say that this spot did not disappoint! When we arrived, there were a few other customers inside, but it was not too busy. After taking some time to review the menu, we placed our orders at the counter, paid and then found a table upstairs to sit at. The food did not take too long before it was brought over to our table and honestly, it looked so colorful, fresh and tasty. We were all very excited to try our meals and, of course, share with one another. Everything we ordered was just so delicious. The salads were freshly made and the sandwich I ordered was honestly so good. I wanted to eat the whole thing, but it was very filling so I had to take half home with me. Of course, the fries were all eaten since they were hot and just the right amout of crispy. I need to add this spot to my rotation of places whenever I am in need of something fresh and somewhat healthy. read more

Cafe Amalia - Faro Garden Bowl, Strawberry Goat Cheese Salad with Chicken, Garden of Eva with Greek fries - Cafes Near Me - Kirkwood, Missouri

We finally tried Cafe Amalia in Kirkwood! I have been eying this cafe since it opened a few months ago, but haven't had time to come in. First off, the atmosphere is stunning. I've never really seen a double decker cafe, but this cafe has two separate dining rooms! We opted for the upstairs. It was super clean and modern inside. The service was so amiable and helpful, we really felt at home. You order at the counter but plenty of people come around to ask if you need help. An older gentleman kept asking if we needed anything else, he even grabbed us waters and ketchup! The food was pretty good. I started with an Iced Vanilla Latte and it had such a good flavor. Not too sweet and I could actually taste the coffee. We tried two sandwiches, the Grilled Chicken Gyro and the Olympian Stack Sandwich. My Mom thought her Gyro was good but a tad dry. The house-made tzaziki really helped add some moisture though. I LOVED the Olympian Stack sandwich. The horseradish and roast beef was packed full of flavor. Plus, the fries on the sides of our dishes were super crispy. We would come back, and sooner rather than later! Besides the gyro, everything was 5 star worthy. read more

Light and bright! Describes both the space and the fare served by the kitchen. The main floor is absolutely gorgeous! The decor is cozy and inviting. The upstairs hosts several cozy out of the way tables if you're in need of a little quiet. The menu is light and fresh. I went with the signature Cafe Amalia salad. This was perfect for a midday meal. Fresh greens, sweet dried fig and cranberry, tangy balsamic, and I added steak to add a little protein. They offer a full service coffee bar if you're in need of a little pick me up. The staff is friendly and helpful. read more

Cafe Amalia was such a great experience. The smoked salmon was divine! Honestly some of the best smoked salmon I've ever had. The first bite completely blew me away. The staff was incredible and beyond sweet, and I love supporting a family-owned business. Their matcha was also really tasty, and I definitely recommend grabbing something from their bakery while you're there. Cafe Amalia is a perfect place to eat with friends or family for a nice brunch. Parking can be a little difficult, but it's absolutely worth it. I'll definitely be back! read more

Cafe Amalia - Smoked Salmon and Iced Matcha Latte - Cafes Near Me - Kirkwood, Missouri

We arrived for brunch but we learned they stopped serving the breakfast items which was disappointing. So I ordered the Strawberry Goat Cheese Salad and I added grilled chicken. After you order your food at the counter they give you a number to display on your table and they bring your food. I give the grilled chicken 5 stars. The chicken was cooked perfectly and it was juicy and flavorful. The rest of the salad I would give it 3 stars. The salad portion was pedestrian. I thought the goat cheese and salad dressing would make my taste buds happy but it was just okay. I would see if they offer a different salad dressing with this salad. All the ingredients were fresh but it was lacking flavor. This is a cute cafe. The vibe is very chill. read more

Love this place. Great food very fresh ingredients. The ricotta toast however was way too sour. Maybe next time they should do like a honey drizzle even it out. The salad was good. Chicken was well cooked and the hummus was very delicious. The location is nice and bright lots of space and they also have a place you can sit upstairs. Service is super friendly and they're always very helpful and take the time to explain things to you. read more

I'll start off by saying the service was great. Many young kids and nice people overall. I really wanted to love Cafe Amalia, but I didn't. I got the Garden Avocado Egg Sandwich and it wasn't very good at all. The bagel was like a grocery store packaged bagel, the avocado was more like the readymade packaged avocado sauce packets. The egg and tomato was good, but it was not at all worth $15. However, I liked the chocolate chip scone and my iced coffee was alright too. I'm not sure if I'll be back again for breakfast, but maybe will give lunch a try. The croque was very good - enjoyed a bite of that from my friend read more

The sweetest spot. If I could wrap the aesthetic of this place up and place it in my home, I would. The cafe is located off of Manchester and parking is tight, but there is extra hidden parking in the grass lot behind the building- so note that before you venture out! You order at the counter, and they have a great selection of breakfast options, and they also have lunch. Espresso menu is wonderful, and a great time to treat yourself to a special drink. I ordered a breakfast sandwich and I loved how fluffy the eggs were! It was delicious on the ciabatta and the bacon was a wonderful salty additive. I'm really looking forward to returning and getting lunch! read more

There doesn't seem to be any gluten free or non dairy options! This is important for people to know when looking for a place to eat.

Snuck in for the first time right before closing on Black Friday. We were definitely here for lunch and could not decide what to get. The cashier really "sold" the Olympian Stack to my partner with his description of the sandwich. I am cutting back on caffeine so I jumped at the chance to get the Spartan Power Bowl, thinking it might give me energy. We also split a Lemon Orzo Chicken soup, so we could try it. The prices were higher than expected, but the portions were also very generous. I chose beef for my power bowl and I loved it, cooked with a slight pink in the center and very tender, great flavor from the peppers and the rice had a flavor that I've never tasted before also. The man was not head over heels for his sandwich, but he did like it. Since they had a cortado on special and great looking pastries in addition to the coffee, this is a definite be back. read more

Cafe Amalia is part coffee bar - part Greek/Mediterranean restaurant. I came in expecting to grab an iced chai & a fresh pastry, but I walked out with an incredible lunch! I could have just ordered my Greek restaurant go-to (a Grilled Chicken Gyro), but the menu here is anything but ordinary: *The Olympian Stack immediately caught my attention: grilled steak (SUPER TENDER), caramelized onions, red pepper, arugula, havarti & meyer lemon horseradish. *The Atlas Bowl featured Amalia's famous meatballs in a marinara sauce over a bed of rice. So filling! *I went back for their breakfast menu and ordered the Greek-style French fry omelet. They also have an avocado egg sandwich, smoked salmon, croque madame & a brioche French toast There are 2 stories of seating, so pull up a chair and stay for a while. Open 7am-3pm Tuesday-Sunday. read more

Came here for a brunch, and I was amazed by the fall decors and the interior designs. It was very cozy and cute! I ordered the avocado egg sandwich.

Cafe Amalia - Garden avocado egg sandwich - Cafes Near Me - Kirkwood, Missouri

I was able to try the coffee, matcha, and some brunch from here. It gets pretty busy and loud so not really ideal for studying. They do have seating upstairs which I think is a bit quieter but it gets full quickly. The coffee was not too bad and the matcha was a bit light for my taste. The food was good, I didn't realize that it came with onions (I would have asked for none) but I still enjoyed it. read more

The vibe was amazing. It was such a cute cafe. I really liked the Greek fries. It was crispy and well seasoned. I got a side of the tzatziki sauce to dip the fries. I also got the tuna salad plate and it was so delicious. Perfect as girl dinner. I recommend trying their pastries as well. The staff were nice and food came out pretty quick. read more

I'm obsessed with Cafe Amalia and could literally eat here every day! The food is all delicious, the space is so nice, and the service is always great.. my only complaint is as a breakfast hater that they don't serve their lunch all day but I'll live off their scones until 11am! My favs: Frappe Cappuccino, Tuna Salad, Lemon Chicken Soup read more

The service was fantastic, everyone was so nice! I really liked the frappe, it's pretty unique and not something you find at other coffee shops! It's not your standard Starbucks frappe, it's so much better! I also tried the Garden of Eva sandwich, the veggies tasted fresh and the fries were crispy! You order at the register and a number is given to you and they bring out your order. I went on a weekend and it was quite busy but I was able to find a table upstairs. It can also get quite loud when crowded. Overall had a great time and the food was delicious, will be back! read more

Fun breakfast or lunch spot, with modern yet cute vibes and quick service! Prices seemed a bit high for some of the items (like the small cups of soup that my friends ordered), but I really did enjoy my gyro to the point that it felt worth every penny. Food was made with fresh ingredients and well-prepared. I loved the chicken gyro. The combination of the grilled flavor and the creamy tzatziki was excellent! It was a bit messy, but kept together with wrapping and a sandwich pick. The fries were good too- done perfectly. While they were not distinctly Greek in flavor (as compared to other places I've been, where they are seasoned more heavily or have feta topping them), this was okay with me because they offered a great balance when combined with the flavors of the gyro. There was a nice selection of canned/bottled drinks for those not in the mood for coffee (though the coffee at other tables looked great and the fall coffee specials sounded amazing). I will have to come back some time for breakfast items and to see what the coffee is like! It seems to be a popular spot! Parking is easier to come by if you get there on the earlier side of lunch. When we left, there was little room left to park. The lot is shared with the nearby yoga studio, and there is additional parking behind the yoga studio, in the grassy area. read more

This is such a cute little spot! Modern, clean, cool vibes. The first floor is a little tight but there is a second floor with more seating. Lots of fresh flowers and simple but aesthetically pleasing decor. I was pleased to see a woman-owned & local business pop up here. Now for the food! I got the cup of lemony chicken orzo soup. It was lemony and yummy, but more broth-y vs. creamy. My biggest bummer was that it did not come with sourdough bread (though on one of the menus pictured on Yelp, it mentions sourdough bread included) :( I was able to try some fries off a friend's plate that were yummy. They liked their gyro they ordered. It's a little pricey for what it is - my cup of soup was $11 but I could have gotten a bowl which was a double portion for $15. Parking is kind of tough as the lot is small and shared. If you can't find a spot in front of Amalia's, you can park near some of the other shops nearby (though double check signage b/c some say parking for their business only) or in their grass lot. It gets busy with parking and foot traffic in the cafe so I'd recommend getting there early if you want to stay for lunch. The website needs updating - when I visited the site to try to get a preview of the menu, it has not yet updated to being open (it says restaurant opening soon). Overall, a cool little spot with some yummy (albeit pricey) offerings and somewhat limited parking. read more

Setting: Cafe Amalia is a beautiful space! So open and cute fall decor! There were also two whole floors with seating and free wifi - I'd love to come back to study here. The only thing is I wish there were more parking spaces. Food: I ordered the egg avocado breakfast sandwich on an everything bagel with cold brew. (My friend got the same sandwich with the macha drink). Everything was very aesthetic when it came out, but it was pretty difficult to eat because the tomato kept sliding off of the mashed avocado and the scrambled eggs fell off of the tomato.. The flavor of the food was a bit bland as well.. However, the service and drinks were great. Overall, I'd come back for the drinks and ambiance:) read more

Cafe Amalia, 5 out of 5! Great little lunch spot! We shared the Chicken Gyro which was delightful, as well as the Farro-Dise Bowl which we added beef tenderloin too which turned out fantastic! Very friendly staff and felt very welcome as soon as we arrived. Lots of natural lighting which is always a plus, and really cool titled flooring to add to the aesthetic of the cafe. Will be recommending to friends, and we'll also be back! Thank you! read more

Just opened and I am so excited this is right next door to my favorite yoga studio. Cafe Amalia is so pretty inside - no detail missed. Nice sitting area up front and upstairs, plenty of tables to enjoy your favorite food & beverage. Walk up service - QR Code Menus available in additional to paper menus. I enjoyed a vanilla latte this morning, which was quite delicious. The food options look amazing and I look forward to trying them soon. Staff was very nice and accommodating! Happy this spot is now open and I can't wait to try the food. read more

Super cute little cafe. My friend and I got coffee to go on a Sunday morning. It wasn't very busy so we got our coffee's quickly. They didn't have any speciality lattes or drinks when we were there so we were a bit bummed but I ended up getting a vanilla latte and my friend got a pistachio latte, both were good! read more

Such a beautiful space! This spot has been on my radar to check out for a while and I am so happy I made it! It did take a while to get through the line to order, but the coffee was brought to our table so quickly it made up for it! I recently was able to travel to Greece and fell in love with freddo espresso there. I am SO glad that I have found a great spot here in St Louis for it! They did make it on the sweeter side and it was delightful. The food was a little pricey for the serving size. The flavor absolutely made up for this! The staff was truly so kind and the speed at which our dishes were collected once we finished was respectful and incredibly impressive. I am excited to come back in the future and try more food! read more

Mediterranean menu that looks very tasty and welcoming. The ambiance is very coffee bistro ish. Comfy furniture. Very busy. Teeny tiny parking lot on very busy Manchester Rd. The sandwich (daily special) I had was okay, but nothing to write home about. Didn't realize it was coming with fries. Good but way too many. My companion said her quiche was good. I probably won't come back. Too noisy/crowded/hassle ordering in a line that moved extremely slow. read more

Fairly new cafe in Kirkwood that is spacious and has an extensive food and beverage menu. Considering how spacious and large the cafe is with two floors, they lack parking space, so keep that in mind if you are coming at peak hours. They have lots of employees, but I think because it's a new cafe, they're still figuring out their system. My friends and I came at a bustling Sunday afternoon, and it was a bit chaotic and lots of confusion. The interior is pretty though, so it's worth the trip. Everything is pricey, so be aware that you might spend close to $10 for a drink. read more

Delicious Mediterranean food, not overpriced, great portion sizes and beautiful dining area

I've been here a few times and have always had a great experience. Fresh, delicious food and the iced vanilla latte is great!! The chef is SO nice and accommodating. I accidentally ordered the wrong thing on the menu and he brought out what I wanted at no cost. Very nice staff!!!! read more

Been here twice now (lunch and breakfast) and find it to be very pricey. Luckily a friend got me a gift card which helped, but pricey for what you get. The food tasted fine,but nothing special though. I am Greek and decided to buy two types of Greek cookies to take home, and each cookie is maybe two or three bites and $10 for four cookies ?!?! Perhaps it's the ambience that customers are paying for, and although the place appears high end with new decor, it can be very loud as the ceilings are quite high. My friend and I decided to sit upstairs, thinking it was quieter, but actually the noise from the main floor echoes and it was just loud as they had a large group on the main floor. Not too sure if there's a reason for me to return, as nothing really seems to stand out in particular, and the prices are quite high. read more

Hot food options with a wide variety of housemaid pastries. Can't go wrong with the Breakfast Sandwhich, or French Toast to pair with a Blueberry Scone. Wonderfully unique coffee options. The Americano is the best way to start your weekend. However my favorite part is the welcoming, hospitable service. The family does a special job at making everyone feel welcomed and appreciated. Great Local Family Operated Café. Beautiful seating arrangements and a cozy upstairs. Great place to catch up with friends or even enjoy a quiet read! Highly Recommend read more

Came here for lunch on a Sunday. It was busy but we were able to find a table downstairs. The space is simply decorated, bright, and clean. I had the spinach, leek, and feta quiche which is served with a simple chopped side salad. The quiche was well-spiced but not overbearing. Chopped salad was a nice foil to the heaviness of the quiche. My mom enjoyed her chicken gyro and fries. The fries were fresh and well-seasoned. Baklava is a must-try. We did not sample any beverages but I look forward to returning for a bevvie. read more
