    Tiki latte
    Krista C.

    Honestly, one of the best coffee places in downtown St. Louis. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside is really cute and I think they even have an extra section to go sit.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I didn't go there, but I saw people coming from upstairs. I got one of their seasonal beverages, and it was made to perfection. Would say because a lot of the stuff is made craft, give it some time. My barista's were all friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They communicated well with each other and the overall inside was just really welcoming.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]If you don't want to sit inside, that is OK they also have seats outside for you to enjoy their product as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Went here for the first time a few weeks ago and it was fabulous! I went on an early morning and it was pretty quiet. The staff were so nice and the coffee was great! I really liked the food options, all the toasts and burritos sounded great. I went with a friend and tried the tomato toast and the Black Dog burrito. Both were sooo delicious. I didn't explore the dining area too much but it looks like a big place and must be perfect for some work. Overall a great experience and can't wait to come back!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place was such a cute little coffee shop![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There were many different seat options inside and outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The baristas were very friendly! My avocado toast was amazing! My friend got one of the goat cheese toasts and she said it was phenomenal! I would definitely go back here!

    Gluten free protein bites and gluten free brookie

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]This coffee shop is adorable![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My mom said that the gluten free protein bites were the best she's had! I agree. The woman working was very friendly and knowledgeable. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have tons of space, indoor and outdoor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This will be a staple for us when we come to visit our family in Soulard.

    Iced coconut milk latte

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]This cozy little coffee shop in a charming old building was a great way to spend an hour out of the afternoon downpour.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The seating was comfortable and the coffee delicious.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I had an iced coconut milk latte that was a bit too sweet, but that was mostly because it was my first time there and I wasn't familiar with their standards. The counter staff was friendly and helpful, and spent some tume talking with me about the various whole bean coffees they stock. There are some single origins that looked interesting, so I picked one out (Sumatra, which tends to have lower acidity). I'm very much looking forward to getting these beans home and brewing up some espresso!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Goshen Coffee in Soulard was the perfect way to start my 4th of July--calm, caffeinated, and filled with good conversation.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] A friend from STL Ladies Brunch Group invited me to try it, and now I totally see why it's one of her favorites. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We sat on the shaded patio for hours, catching up while birds literally stopped by our table like they had something to say. Add in the nearby church bells and it was basically a Hallmark summer morning.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered the Kickin' Goat Cheese Whip Toast--creamy, spicy, and surprisingly satisfying--and the Cherry Ginger Espresso Tonic, which was sparkling, refreshing, and honestly just fun to drink. 10/10 for flavor and creativity. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Inside is cozy and cute, with an aesthetic that says "chill here or buy a tote bag--you'll be happy either way."[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Staff was lovely, the vibe was relaxed, and I'll definitely be back. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Bonus points for inclusive energy and a great retail corner.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Follow me on Yelp, Google Maps, FB, and IG for more honest reviews and STL recs with a side of sass.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]First of all, the vibes are immaculate.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Good music, quirky decorations, plenty of seating to enjoy your perfectly made vanilla latte and contemplate life in general.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I liked it so much I signed up for the rewards program because I think I'm gonna become a regular.

    Goat cheese whip toast
    Christina H.

    OMG everything here is DELICIOUS! I had the goat whip toast and it amazing, the flavor of the goat cheese, cucumbers, carrots and balsamic drizzle was so well balanced! It was such a light refreshing snack, I could eat 10 more. I also had the shortbread chocolate chip cookie and wow. It is a must try!! They had so many great vegetarian option, I loved this place. I also go a dirty chai and it had some a great spice flavor, not too strong. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They had some great seating areas, upstairs and outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is a very cute little place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Outside there is only street parking. Highly recommend coming to check this place out!

    Goshen has been on my hit list for coffee shops for ages. I finally broke down and made it out on a rainy sunday morning. Let me inform you: if you have been wanting to go to Goshen(like me) but have been procrastinating(like me) let this be your sign to drop everything and run there. I went right when they opened and the manager and barista were--presumably-- caffeinated and greeted me with exuberance. It's a fun little spot. The interior is quaint and cute. Quiet and slow moving. Perfect for a coffee date, catching up with old friends, or getting some studying done. The coffee was wonderful. I went with my go-to: an iced almond milk latte. It was really solid. As i peruse more coffee shops, my palate becomes more refined I am beginning to discover good from bad coffee. Simply put: Goshen is good coffee(really good). If you have read this far and haven't been to goshen let me reiterate: go, then go again. Beautiful people, wonderful coffee, in a great community!

    Goat cheese toast with carrots, cucumber and balsamic drizzle

    Goshen coffee roasters Soulard cafe location follows in the footsteps of the smashing success by the flagship store in Edwardsville. Goshen coffee blends enjoy a cultlike reputation which imprints itself on the coffee drinks . You order at the [[HIGHLIGHT]]counter - my go-to is their mocha, and find a table either near the counter or upstairs, which is a magnificent place to focus on getting some pending work done. They also have a[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]beautiful covered deck on the upper floor and veranda like section outside on the main floor. Besides the coff[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]ee, I love their avocado toast and goat cheese toast variants - right now it's the goat cheese with pickled carrots and cucumbers and a balsamic drizzle on top. The staff are warm and friendly. On some Sundays, [[HIGHLIGHT]]there's a musical guest performing in the upstairs area. Goshen at Soular[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]d's, you're amazing and thank you!

    A diamond in the rough!! Coming from Boulder, Colorado looking for craft single origin coffee. We found and pleasantly blown away by the options here for pour over. Had a pour over Timor-Estate with tasting notes of white peace, Riesling white wine, and whipped cream. Giving a boozy peachy finish!

    Iced vanilla latte
    Katie S.

    I was so happy to find this coffee shop so close to my Airbnb when I stayed in St. Louis! I actually went 2 days in a row because I liked it so much! [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was so cute and had 2 levels for seating, as well as an outdoor patio area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff were polite and welcoming. I tried some of their seasonal items on my first visit (but forgot to take pictures): carrot cake latte and a carrot cake scone. Both were incredible! I also got their lemon blueberry scone and goat cheese, onion, and garlic scone. Also incredible! I got a vanilla latte (pictured) which was delicious. I love when coffee shops make their own syrups so I was so excited to see that Goshen makes their own! Really takes lattes to the next level. Definitely check this place out in St. Louis! They also have some food and other pastries but I did not try them.

But right off the bat was one of my pet peeves: QR menus. Maybe when the pandemic was at its worst, they were necessary, but we've learned to live with it, so let's go back to physical menus. The service was super friendly, with our server training a newbie. We started with the Arepas con Platanos Maduros, a corn cake with veggie crumbles and platanos. They were really good. I'm always up for a dish with maduros, so I was happy to see this. For our main course, my boyfriend got the jambalaya, while I got the mushroom ravioli. He loved his dish. Mine was decent, but unless you love brussels sprouts, you may find them a bit overwhelming. I found myself wishing I'd ordered the katsu sandwich. (They were out of the maitake mushroom dish that looked interesting.) For dessert, we got the dark chocolate and tahini budino, a rich mousse, and the cinnamon bread pudding that was coved in a toasted aquafaba whip that was just divine. If, like me, you don't drink, you'll be glad to know the restaurant has a few zero-proof cocktails. I loved my Smokey Orchard, smooth drink with zero-proof whiskey, apple, rosemary, and lemon. My boyfriend got the Rhinestone Cowboy, which does have alcohol. Overall, it was a good experience, and I would recommend it to folks visiting.

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. Service was great, food came out on time, and everything felt intentional. Highly recommend if you're looking for a nice dinner spot in St. Louis.

    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.

    I literally live a 4 minute walk from here and have no idea why it took me this long to check it…read moreout. I took my boyfriend here last night for his 24th birthday celebration, and boy did it exceed every expectation. When we first arrived, we were taken aback by the waterfall feature at the front door. We genuinely thought we were at the wrong entrance. Turns out it was entirely intentional, and in the excitement of the evening, we forgot to ask about the story behind it. A fun little mystery to solve on our next visit. We arrived about 30 minutes early and were welcomed warmly from the moment we walked in. The staff gave us a lovely intimate table with a great view of the restaurant's eclectic decor and designs. The ambiance struck the perfect balance, lively and engaging without being so loud that we could not have a real conversation, which for my partner and me is genuinely one of the most important aspects of a dining experience. Since we both work incredibly busy schedules, this was not only a birthday celebration but our first proper date night in quite a while, and the atmosphere made it feel truly special. The staff even surprised us with a complimentary prosecco for the birthday, something we were absolutely not expecting and deeply appreciated. On the drinks side, although I am not personally a big drinker, my boyfriend loves exploring new spirits and cocktail combinations. The bartenders were fantastic: knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely enthusiastic about their recommendations across both wines and spirits. They made the whole experience feel curated rather than transactional. Now, let me tell you about Jelly. Our server Jelly was, without question, the highlight of the entire evening, and that is saying a lot given how spectacular everything else was. I have a severe pineapple allergy, and if you dine out with food allergies, you know the usual routine. The server writes it down, maybe glances at it when the food arrives, and you spend the whole meal quietly hoping for the best. Jelly was on an entirely different level. She went completely above and beyond, meticulously checking every food option and wine pairing to ensure nothing contained pineapple and that there was zero risk of cross contamination. When a wine bottle did not clearly list its ingredients, she did not guess or assume. She looked it up on the internet right then and there to confirm it was safe for me. That gesture might sound simple, but for someone with a severe allergy, it is everything. It communicates that she genuinely cared about my wellbeing, not just about getting through her tables for the night. I felt completely taken care of, safe, and able to relax and enjoy myself without the anxiety that usually accompanies dining out with an allergy. Jelly, if you ever read this: thank you from the bottom of my heart. You are exceptional at what you do and an absolute asset to Blood & Sand. And now, the food, which was nothing short of breathtaking. From the presentation, to the pacing and timing, to the extraordinary depth of flavor on every plate, the food at Blood & Sand is spectacular and amazing in the truest sense of both words. My boyfriend and I had the 5 course tasting menu with wine pairings. We had originally hoped for the 10 course, but it was not being offered that evening. No matter, because the 5 course delivered more than enough to leave us completely floored. The evening opened with a palate initiator of carrots, goat cheese, and walnuts. I will be honest, I was not excited. Carrots and goat cheese are genuinely two of my least favorite foods on the planet. But I gave it a try and it was absolutely heavenly. A perfect encapsulation of what this kitchen does: it takes ingredients you think you know and transforms them into something you cannot stop thinking about. My absolute favorites of the evening were the tuna carpaccio, the wagyu flank steak, and the pierogis. Each one was cooked and composed to perfection. Everything melted in my mouth and left me wishing the courses would never end. My one constructive note is on the oyster course. I love oysters and eat them often, so I was genuinely looking forward to this one. The portion, two very small oysters with modest accompaniments of horseradish, a small salsa, and lemon, felt a little light even by tasting menu standards. I would love to see either four oysters at that size or two larger ones. It was gone so quickly and felt slightly out of step with the generosity of every other course. That small note aside, Blood & Sand delivered one of the most memorable dining experiences I have had in a long time. Every single person on that floor, from the bartenders to the host to the incredible Jelly, went above and beyond to make the night comfortable, fun, intimate, and genuinely special. We will absolutely be back, and next time I will not wait so long given that I practically live next door.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

    30. The place was pretty empty/ maybe 3 other tables while we were there. (that's a bad sign)…read moreWe originally had reservations for 8 but one person couldn't attend so we arrived with 7. The menu had printed that the 5 course tasting menu was only for parties of 6 or less. We inquired knowing it may not be able to happen since we had 7, but it was worth a try since it was just one more person. The waitress said she would have to ask the chef to see if he could do 7 instead of 6..... she came back to inform us that the chef was not able to accommodate this request. Ok, fine. A rule is a rule, but there were only 3 other tables in there the entire time we dined. I love music and a good vibe but the music was so loud over our table we could hardly hear each other speak. (90s Cranberries at that).... The cocktails and apps were the only good part of the meal, but $25 for one cocktail is a stretch unless I'm in Vegas or St. Barths. All of our main entrees were overly salted- like so salty we all commented how salty each of ours was. I had the pasta. Good flavor and creamy but too salty. No decaf coffee. I've never been to a fine dining restaurant that doesn't have decaf for an after dinner drink. Strange. Then it was time to pay. There was a noted 3% credit card fee. We paid with cash. The waitress attempted to say she didn't think she would have change because "there was no one working that had to cash to break our bills." Really? No one has cash at a restaurant? Must be next door with the decaf coffee and dinner music. The cherry on top that leads me to write a negative review (I am in my 40s and can never recall leaving a negative ereciew) The friend that made the reservation just found a $200 charge to her credit card from this joke of a restaurant. Ends up they charge the card you make your reservation with $25 per person and supposedly take this amount off the bill when you pay... we paid with cash and then they still charge the card. I'm well aware hardly anyone pays with cash anymore, but people still do. Be ready. Everything about this place screams closing in 18 months, poor quality control in the kitchen and no owner/management oversight.

It took them a couple minutes before they looked up and when they did, seemed less than enthused for me to be there. I looked at the menu before I came and knew I wanted the Pabellon with beef and some passion fruit juice. They said the were out it but had blackberry instead. I paid and sat down A few minutes later my food was ready and they came and gave it to me. The portion of meat was smaller than I expected and I had way more rice than everything else. The maduros were pretty good, as were the meat and beans. I'd probably pass on the blackberry juice again because it was rather blah. AI was surprised at the tables they had and was expecting more round or square, not picnic style tables. Overall, I had pretty nice visit. The portions weren't all congruent and it was freezing but I'd probably visit again.

    This spot was fantastic!…read more We ordered at the counter and it was pretty easy. The servers are so sweet. They have a great menu with a little bit of everything. We got the sampler, some empanadas, and an arepa to share. The portions are HUGE we got two meals out of it! And they STUFF everything full of meat. If you think it seems expensive, it's because you're getting your monies worth in the chicken and beef going into them. The cilantro sauce was amazing and went well with everything. Highly recommend the try.

    If you're in downtown St. Louis and craving something quick, creative, and seriously satisfying,…read moreSauce on the Side is a must-visit. Worth the wait! It has been packed with VEX Worlds. I ended up going two nights in a row, which should tell you everything you need to know. Night 1: The Fatty B This one lives up to its name--in the best way possible. Packed with flavor and perfectly balanced between savory and indulgent, every bite felt like comfort food done right. The crust was golden and crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and held everything together without falling apart. It's rich, so come hungry. Night 2: Meat Me in St. Louis Had to come back and try one of their signature options, and it did not disappoint. Loaded with meats but not overwhelming, and the flavors all complemented each other really well. It's hearty, bold, and exactly what you'd expect from something with a name like that. What really stood out both nights was the consistency--fresh ingredients, quick service, and a laid-back atmosphere that makes it an easy go-to spot whether you're grabbing dinner solo or with a group of hungry robotics kids. Pro tip: Don't skip the dipping sauces--they take everything up another level. Two nights, two wins. I'd absolutely go back again.

    My boyfriend and I were visiting St. Louis, and we were a bit hungry after visiting the Arch and…read moregoing on a boat tour. Sauce on the Side wasn't too far away, and they have a vegan option. Perfect! Sauce on the Side is a calzone restaurant, with one vegan option, the Skinny V. (I suppose you can make your own vegan calzone, but we went for the menu option.) Although it says it comes with spicy red sauce, we were able to get the milder red sauce, which is also vegan. The calzones are large, so unless you're really hungry, one calzone is enough for two people. I think it's pretty cool that they use a local soda company for their fountain drinks. The calzone, with plant-based pepperoni and vegan mozzarella, didn't blow me away, but it was pretty good. I wouldn't go out my way to eat there, but if it's near where you're hanging out, it's a great place to grab a quick meal.

    Consistently every week, Lona's comes up in our conversation and our rotation…read more Whether we're picking a place for dine-in or takeout, or we have guests interested in a quick bite, Lona's unique wraps, tasty side dishes, speediness, unpretentious charming neighborhood location, friendly service, and excellent price:performance ratio is a winner. Standouts for us include the smoked brisket wrap, bamboo stew, spicy eggplant, stir fried glass noodles. However every item on the menu is great.

    After reading alllll the reviews I was excited to try this place. But, it just did not reach all my…read moreexpectations based off the reviews I read. This place did have fresh food, I'll give it that. But, it definitely lacked in aspects that didn't make it amazing or something I'd really suggest unless someone I knew was vegetarian. We were served quickly but definitely felt like the staff had a very "meh" attitude. It's a very specific type of place, mismatched furniture, kind of eclectic. It gives very "lived in vibes". The food itself was okay. The steak dumpling were probably my favorite but I wish there was more options for dipping sauce rather than just chili crisp oil. I ordered the big Thai wrap, and while it was good, I had to ask for extra sauce because the lettuce was just overwhelming, like there was just a giant wad of it thrown in there. The wrap itself is a rice paper so you really can't put it down when you eat it or it just falls apart. But, overall, with extra sauce, rearranging things a bit everything was generally good. Would I go out of my way to go back? Probably not but it's definitely a great place to try for yourself.
