    Cole Turkey Stacker

    I really don't get how this place has good ratings. I stopped by today and the whole experience was just gross. Every table I saw was covered in crumbs and sticky spots, I actually had to grab a napkin and wipe mine down myself because the staff was too busy hanging out behind the counter to care. The service is insanely slow. It took forever just to get a simple coffee, and when my Cole Turkey Stacker finally came out, it was such a letdown. The bread was dry and there was barely any meat on it--definitely not worth what they're charging. To make it worse, the ventilation in there is terrible. I walked out smelling like old, burnt fry oil and the smell is literally stuck in my clothes now. Between the bad food and the lack of basic cleaning, I'm definitely not coming back. There are way better (and cleaner) spots nearby.

    Two big booms. Great bagel. Good vibes inside, WiFi provided. Took a while to receive our food.

    Hartford Coffee Co was such an easy & convenient stop for me during my errands! The Salted Caramel Coconut iced latte was delicious & so was the cinnamon roll! They even warmed up the cinnamon roll for me. The menu is large with so much to offer & plenty to choose from. The food came out super fast & convenient the wait wasn't long at all. Plenty of seating inside making it great for an individual or a group! Make sure to check them out!

    I love Hartford Coffee so much! First off, the patio/ sitting area outside is so cute. Lots of space for dogs and a great spot to soak in the sunshine. This particular visit, we walked in and the line was moving quickly. I love their breakfast sandwiches, so I ordered one with bacon (egg and cheese) on an everything bagel. I also ordered a sugar free iced latte. My total was 12$- it's truly incredible how their prices are so low when everything seems so high. Everyone is always so kind and pleasant that is working. The sandwich was super great and simple. The latte was delicious as well. Their coffee always gives me the caffeine jolt I need. I always enjoy coming here and look forward to getting a baked good next time. They look delicious.

    Interesting flavor

    Currently my second visit, today I decided to stay for food. And thats what I did ! The weight was kinda long. But here I'm eating now . I order the breakfast bowl, had the choice of bacon sausages or spinach I choose bacon imean who wouldn't , it's actually a jalpeno bacon. Adds a nice spice to the bowl.. interesting flavors i can dig it for a quick bite or sit down !

    Fun little cafe with a nice kids area in the back. Food and drinks came out quick. The drinks were very sweet for me (got a London fog). The food was delicious but got cold quick since it was cold out (visiting from sunny Florida haha).

    Quiet Sunday afternoon at Hartford's, I haven't been here in probably a few years. The sugar-free hot caramel latte I got is perfect in temperature, it's decent in taste. My partner's caramel frappe I'm told is delicious! Service was a little slow, but very sweet personality. I would come again.

    My Bagel bottom was Burnt. The Top Half was fine. They Knew. But served it anyway.

    Customer service always Good. over the last year, for me, the food quality is decreasing. Two things I always order, The Pesto Grilled cheese with tomatoes on sour dough and The smoke Salmon Bagel. Those 2 items have been the worst. Today I got this Bagel. The Potatoes were under cooked and Hard. Do Better!!!!

    I've always driven by Hartford Coffee but this was my first time going in and I loved it! Everything from the food, drinks and environment were what I needed. There is lots of seating with large tables perfect for working or studying. Also a LOT of outlets. High ceilings with tons of light and windows which I'm sure if it weren't a gloomy day would've offered plenty of natural light. The barista was super friendly and my food was brought out within five minutes. Food and drinks were super well priced and I highly recommend. There's also a little children's play area!

    I can't remember what latte this was but it was tasty

There wasn't that much line when I went, they take your other at the kiosk by the bar. They have a large assortment of sandwiches, comes in whole OR half (which is half the price of a whole). I ordered 2 half sandwiches, "The Meatball" and "The Steak Out". It didn't take long at all to make my sandwiches and they also have options to customize specialty sandwiches if specific toppings are wanted. The Steak Out was the 1st sandwich tried, and was the best one out of the two. The steak was cooked medium rare but isn't too rare at all or overcooked past that if you are worried about that either. Not only that, but the jalapenos and the pepper mayo are to die for, and they didn't completely soak it in sauce (which is a common concern as well). Everything tastes so freshly made, with half a sandwich honestly being more than enough for 1 sitting. Overall rating 8.9/10. The Meatball was very good as well, meatballs were cooked well throughout and tender to the bite. I am not completely mad at the Baguette being the bread of choice but they couldn't have went wrong with ciabatta neither. It was a very solid sandwich, nothing too extraordinary but nothing I can really complain about neither. Overall rating 8.3/10. In past visits, I have also tried the Enzo Gorlomi (basically a spicy italian) which I thought was better than both sandwiches I tried during that visit, but I may be biased because I love spicy italian sandwiches. Should still try though in my opinion. All in all, I would definitely come back to this place when I'm in the area, pricing is pretty good for the food amount and quality you are getting. Vibes are cool in there, they seem like a business with a lot of experience doing what they do. I wouldn't say they are the absolute best in St. Louis... yet, but they are definitely up there for sure. They are also open until 1:30AM Tues - Sat so its a great late night option.

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.

You walk into this older building and it just opens up into this bright, clean, almost energizing space . I went with the Umami Crunch with tofu and... yeah, this is the kind of place that makes you realize how rare a really good salad is. Like, when do you ever eat a salad and think, "the lettuce is incredible"? That happened here. Everything tasted fresh in a way that's hard to explain unless you've had it. And then you find out why--they literally have a hydroponic farm attached. Not just for show either... they do tours, and a lot of what you're eating is coming straight from there. It makes the whole experience feel different in the best way. The portions are huge, super filling, and still somehow feel light and clean. I also grabbed a local blue spirulina kombucha that ended up being one of the best I've had. If you keep wandering toward the back, it turns into this almost maze-like space, and on weekends they do a pop-up called Biscuit Town with breakfast items (including vegan options). It just keeps going. Honestly, I walked in craving a REALLY good salad and left wondering why it's so hard to find places like this. This is one of those spots you go to once and immediately know you'll be back.

Songbird makes great use of its space and should be near the top of your STL brunch list. A reasonably-sized (not-overwhelming) menu, great coffee, delicious cocktails, quick, attentive service, and undeniably delicous food. I took off on a redeye this morning (coffee courtesy of Blueprint), and landed on the Farm Sampler: two scrambled eggs, applewood smoked bacon, sourdough toast, sliced avocado and sauteed shiitake mushrooms. Phenomenal flavors and textures. Toast is typically an afterthought for me, but the buttery crunch of the sourdough has to be spotlighted. The Bee's Knees cocktail was also a wonderfully refreshing prelude to the approaching STL summer. The time has come, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say: wake up, reserve, enjoy.

I was very excited to try them but left knowing I would not return. I waited 40 minutes on a weekday morning for a bar seat for one, standing because all the waiting area seats were taken. The hostess/waitress was very nice when she got to me, but you could tell that the amount of customers was simply too much to handle. Now, this was okay - I should have made a reservation, and it's not the staff's fault they were overwhelmed. However, the service once I sat down was patchy, delayed and distracted. I had to remind different servers of my presence, multiple times. I was willing to overlook this if the food had been fantastic, but unfortunately, their most popular item, the combo breakfast sandwich, was so incredibly heavy. The first bite was crispy, oily and fatty deliciousness, but by the third bite it was simply too rich. The sweet overtone of the honey was lovely but did not cut through the grease. By the time I finished half, I understood why several diners had left the other half uneaten. My personal preference is for a fresh, umami yet balanced sandwich that does not make me feel queasy after finishing it. This was not the sandwich for me. There was a long delay after I finished eating for them to bring me the check. My whole meal took around 2.5 hours. I had arrived starving and, I like to think, with an open mind. These are my honest, unfiltered observations. It is wonderful that so many people want to try their food and that their new space is bigger. Their decor, glassware and menu were cute and tasteful. I also love that they grew from a farmers market food stall and that they source their ingredients locally. With their level of popularity, I think they should focus on preserving the quality of their service and food.
