I tried Seedz again with some friends and family after not having been there in a couple years. It…read moredefinitely had a well deserved refresh with the inside and menu which is so so exciting as vegan/vegetarian places are becoming less and less common. I love all the fresh, healthy and raw ingredient options they have. I ordered the original Reuben and it was so good, the sauerkraut sauce was full of flavor. My partner got the Malibu Melt and mentioned it was full of flavor but a little dry and maybe needed some more sauce. It is a small quaint little place, walk up to order and seat yourself. They close at 7 so if you're trying to go for dinner you better get in early! The employees were really nice and even let us try a chocolate chip cookie which was soo good. I definitely want to go back and try the pizza:)

The Seedz Cafe is an experience everyone should have. Nestled the historic DeMun Community, we…read moreabsolutely love eating here and walking around the community. I had a delicious vegan burger and their exceptional artisan vegan donuts s, which they daily run out of before Noon. Next door they also have a coffee shop with some of the best coffee I have ever had. The service is always excellent with a family friendly environment, with outdoor seating for nice days. After going to Seedz you will want to make it a regular stop for some of the best vegan food in Missouri! I will share my rating of their vegan pizza on a later post, meanwhile, I recommend you try it for yourself.

Boardwalk Cafe has a special place in my heart because it's in the town where I grew up--about a…read moretwo-minute drive from my high school. Funny enough, I never really ate there growing up, but I've come to appreciate a great breakfast much more as an adult. It has a great small-diner vibe, with booths all around, so it can fill up fast--which is honestly just how you want it. The servers are great and everything comes out incredibly quick. Everything there is good, but I usually go with the namesake of the place: the Boardwalk Omelet, plus the hash browns and, of course, the toast. Whew--you absolutely cannot go wrong with this. Ever.

Service was quick and our waiter was nice and knowledgeable. Very friendly. I go a coffee and my "friend" got a mimosa. We got the buttermilk biscuits to share and I got the breakfast sandwich. Everything was so delicious. I accidentally dropped my fork on the patio floor and it fell through a crack in the wood and I was too embarrassed to say anything. Everything was amazing and I would love to come back and try some new things like the delicious looking baked goods.

We almost ate outside but stick indoors; Maggie was a great server. We enjoyed a nice Bees Knees drink, complete with elderberry - nice.

We also enjoyed some flourless chocolate cake and took home a gooey butter cake, which did not last long. Thank you, Russell's on Macklind!

Everything was fantastic -- the smoothie wasn't overwhelmingly sweet and all the food was really good. Food presentation was pretty too! It was a little busy, so there was a short line, but it moved pretty quick. You order at the counter and they bring the food to you. The staff was friendly and though there was a bit of a wait for our food, I think the ambiance was perfect for a slow Saturday morning. Can't wait to come back and try different things!

Still not sure why it is called soft but it was delicious. 2 eggs on bed of arugula with avocado and toast on the side. I also got golden milk latte which was good. Loved my food and drink but prefer if portions were slightly larger. FYI- order at counter then they bring food to table.

The man wants coffee, when all the coffee places are closed, and I want actual food, not carbs. This is how we stumbled up on Mountain House. He was happy with his order, so I want to tell you about mine. I was so pleasantly surprised with the generous portion of my sandwich and I did not realize my order came with chips too. I was even more pleasantly surprised to see MUD\WTR on the menu, I recently quit drinking caffeine, and of course I have seen a lot of ads for mushroom coffee, I very much appreciated the opportunity to order it here as opposed to having to buy it online to try it. Personally, I liked the mushroom coffee, I have always drank coffee black and I appreciated the flavor of the mushroom, turmeric and additional spices.

Wow, what a cute little place, lots of local art, I got an awesome little purple ceramic mushroom,…read morebut they had lots of other things. And of course coffee, which was really delicious, the one I got. It was a cinnamon roll cold brew with foam and.... I don't know what else, but it was pretty amazing (iced). Lots of coffee/tea options, they have gluten-free goodies and I noticed they had some quiche and soups, so while I didn't get any food, I would not be opposed, for sure! The place was clean and bright, and the local art everywhere was really cool. The bathroom was tidy, service was great, definitely will be back when I'm in the area.

The location of Espresso Yourself Coffee & Cafe couldn't have been any better, as far as what I…read moreneeded it for. I'd just done a training run that began and ended at the shoe store across the street. At the conclusion, I was given a Paloma-flavored non-alcoholic beer, courtesy of one of my running group's sponsors, but what was I supposed to do with that? It was decided that we needed coffee. (How ironic, by the way. Receiving a free beer from your sponsor.) We seem to have gotten there just in time. There was already a healthy crowd of people who apparently weren't runners, based on their physique (lol jk), and several people from our running group arrived after we did. People apparently like this place. The vibe is quirky and independent, with a lot of random decor, including a Blues Brothers poster and a sign declaring that the Teletubbies are welcome, and a lot of local-interest signage and artwork. People in the City love to remind themselves that they're in St. Louis. You never see anything like that in my native West County. Truth be told, I wouldn't even go into a coffee shop unless someone else suggested it. It costs less at QT. But I figured when in Rome. I wasn't about to get a sandwich, in part because I wasn't hungry, and in part because I'm always wary of food from places that specialize in coffee, but I figured I'd try one of their fancy coffee drinks instead of just a regular coffee. I went with something called a Zippity Do Da, or something to that effect. It was a latte, served hot or cold (I of course went with hot), with... if I'm not mistaken, peanut butter, honey and mocha. I liked the idea that there was a peanut butter element, in part because I couldn't imagine what that would be like. Peanut butter, even the welfare version you get at Aldi, is at least somewhat viscous. Was this going to be more like a milkshake? That could be gross, and grossly caloric, canceling out any benefit of my training run. Of course I was going to drink it anyway. Turns out that the peanut butter was the element that was least prominent in the overall taste of this drink, though you could in fact taste it. I found it impressive that, if you concentrated hard enough, you could detect elements of peanut butter, honey and mocha. It's like when you purchase a fancy bottle of wine, from, perhaps, the aforementioned Aldi, and you really can taste bits of oak, vanilla, campfire and a slight nuttiness. No Diddy. These people are true coffee artists, the cafe equivalent of people who work at Subway. I'm at the nearby shoe store every once in a while, so maybe I'll return. I might even cop a bagel.

I ordered the spicy pork belly over rice. Taste is 5/5. The pork belly is perfectly tender. True to…read morethe dish's name, the sauce definitely has a spicy kick but not too spicy that it overwhelms the taste. It pairs really well with the rice. The egg and cilantro are nice touches to the dish. If the dish were a tad cheaper (priced at $19), I'd be an even bigger fan. But not unreasonable and taste is completely worth it - reminiscent of home cooking or Taiwanese comfort food (Lu rou fan) which is my favorite. I would definitely order again!
