We had a fabulous brunch here! First off, it's huge and each different seating area has something authentically pleasing to offer. Our server was super nice and our food came out quickly. The best part: the food was FANTASTIC. I talked about the breakfast nachos all day. Delicious!!! read more

I absolutely love Latte Lounge! The space is beautiful, open, and has such a welcoming vibe that makes you want to stay awhile. I especially enjoy going on Saturdays for coffee and the chance to create my own flower bouquet it's such a fun and relaxing experience. The coffee mobile truck is amazing, and the breakfast is always delicious. I also love the events hosted here; they really bring the community together in a special way. And as a Black-owned business, it's truly a gem that I'm proud to support. Highly recommend! read more

Service is excellent. The server was nice and gave recommendations. The place is spacious and open. It was clean but could use a dusting and someone to regularly clean tables. I had the chicken and waffles with Cajun grits. Grits were moist and packed with flavor. The chicken wings were crispy and perfectly cooked. The waffle is average but cooked good taste. Overall 4.4. I'd come back for them service alone. read more

This place is amazing!!! The atmosphere is just such a cool vibe. Food is better than I could have ever expected and the coffee was also fantastic! The space is open and inviting - with tables, swings at the bar for seating, couches and in the back there's a pool table and lounge area. We had the sweetest waitress, Nina! What a kind soul - ask for her! read more

10/10, I would highly recommend! The Latte Lounge is now one of my favorite restaurants for brunch! The coffee and food was delicious. The restaurant was spacious. The tables were not placed closely and provided an environment that was inviting. Oh, did I mention the DJ? I ate and sang my heart out! read more

Top notes, fantastic space, good coffee, good service. What a cool space! Love the decor, and some Christmas decorations, for the season. I really wanted to get the shrimp and grits but decided the breakfast sandwich was probably less calories. The bacon was cooked to perfection and I loved the softness of the bagel. I am on a decaf journey, and I enjoyed the flavor of the black decaf coffee. The only con is parking, there was snow everywhere, I have no idea if I parked legally or not, luckily I did not get a ticket. read more

Love this place! Wish it was closer than downtown haha. This is more of a sit down spot rather than a lounge or cafe vibe where you bring your laptop at least in front - we've brought laptops here to work I believe they have WiFi so it's still doable :) the drinks are unique with various flavors and a seasonal or two. For us the star of the show was the breakfast fried rice and the grits - all outstanding. The inside is very cute with leveled stairs and swing seats at the bar. They are really busy on weekends so seee if they do reservations or call ahead in case. It's worth it!! read more

Ambiance was great. Nice open concept. Bar area was really cute with the swings. Food was good. Lattes were tasty. Pleasant customer service. Only issue I had was with how the eggs were cooked (scrambled eggs)...manager rectified situation but they still didn't make them correctly after the second batch (first was left on skillet too long/ slightly brown. 2nd batch was almost the same but also runny) . I had the French toast and bacon - both were good and good portions. read more

Went here for brunch for a friend's birthday! We went on a Sunday and while we were seated pretty quickly, this place got busy quick. For brunch, I ordered an iced butter toffee latte with oat milk. It was delicious. I also got the breakfast trio with 2 sunny side up eggs, a red velvet waffle and bacon. Food was really good and came out relatively quick. My friends all enjoyed their food too! This location is pretty cool, it's a loft style with swing seats at the bar. Looks pretty trendy! Would def eat here again! read more

If you haven't been to Latte Lounge + HG Eatery on Washington Ave, you're missing out on one of STL's best brunch vibes. The food is fantastic--bananas foster waffles, biscuits & gravy, crispy potatoes, and more. The drinks are equally impressive, with iced lattes (mine came with the cutest little heart stopper), latte flights, and even split cups so you can try a few flavors without the FOMO. They also have a DIY bouquet station, which makes it feel like brunch + an experience. The atmosphere is what makes this place special. Swings at the bar, cozy lounge areas, a game zone, and a welcoming community vibe rooted in faith and belonging--it's clear they care about creating more than just a meal. Their mission is about uplifting people while serving high-quality, locally sourced food, and you feel that in the details. Heads up: they don't take reservations and it gets packed, so don't come if you're in a rush. But if you have the time, it's absolutely worth it. And for me, sharing it all with one of my best friends made the experience even better. Food feeds your stomach, but good company feeds your soul.

Really beautiful place and I love that it's locally owned! Me and my friend got lucky and were seated right away at the bar on a busy Saturday morning for some brunch. It was cool sitting at the bar on the swing chairs and watching the baristas making the drinks. I got the matcha and a side of fruit. I felt like the food options were pretty expensive but all the food I saw come out looked really good. The lattes were a good price. The blueberry matcha I got was delicious. It did take a while for both our food and drinks to come out and our server had difficulties with the card reader. Our drinks came out after 15 minutes. It took another ten for the food to come out. We were able to park easily in the parking lot across the street. read more

Highly recommend. Some friends and I stopped by on Sunday for brunch and it was sooooo good. I got the breakfast sandwich which was amazing, one friend got the catfish and eggs -- perfectly cooked and seasoned, and our other friend got the sampler. I got a bite of her French toast and it was immaculate. It was one of the fluke warm days in December so we were able to sit outside and avoid a long wait. Service was prompt and friendly. The cold brew was great on its own (almost tasted like it had a little maple in it), but before that I opted for the Owner's Fav latte in the 24oz. bucket. Can't wait to go back and try something else off the menu. read more

Gather up your best guys and gals -- because it's brunch time at Latte Lounge. We sat at the bar (which had swings) -- it was a fun and athletic way to dine in. I appreciated the throwback movie playing on the TVs (shark tails I see you!!). It added such a fun twist to the experience. The catfish was seasoned like they knew I wanted a trip to flavor town. Crispy. Flaky. Mouth-watering food. (To die for). My only critique is: let's spice up the grits! Keep the party going in flavor town with some added spice and zing. read more

We came right at 8:30 on a Saturday morning to beat the rush I kept seeing in reviews, but the restaurant was pretty empty from 8:30-10 while we were there. While waiting for the check, several larger parties did come in, so I'm thankful we opted to arrive at opening time. For parking, we snagged a street spot out front, but it did seem like the parking lot across the street could be used as well. I will start with a huge shoutout to our server, Tevin, who was very friendly and had great energy. As it was our first time in, he gave us a lot of recommendations for food and drinks he liked off the menu. We opted for a matcha flight and the seasonal Gilmore Girls latte flight - both were absolutely delicious and very generous size glasses for the price. I also loved the Luke's Coffee sticker included with the Gilmore Girls flight - such a fun surprise! For food, I chose the breakfast scramble which included mixed vegetables, eggs your way (sunny side up), and an english muffin. It was good overall, but nothing particularly special about it. My partner chose the breakfast fried rice with bacon, which was a fun new breakfast item for us to try! Very flavorful and we both really enjoyed it -- highly recommend trying it if you stop in. Removing 1 star overall for the general ambiance and service -- we were the first party seated right at 8:30 and our table was unfortunately not very clean, including food left on the floor. It also seemed like all the staff was still busy with prep work for most of the time we spent at the restaurant, including rolling silverware, refilling items at the coffee bar, and filling to-go containers of sauces. Not something I'd normally remove a star for because I understand it takes a lot of "behind the scenes" work to keep things running smoothly, but we had to wait a few minutes for the host to notice us to at 8:30 with no line and no other parties seated, as well as waiting a while for water refills, napkins we requested, and paying the bill at the end. Also, the plate and bowl were black plastic with visible cuts in them from previous use -- not super aesthetically appealing in my opinion. Overall, the drink flights are a unique option and the food was pretty good, so I'll keep this on my breakfast rotation when people come to St. Louis! read more

One of the few places that are open on Mondays and then also it was a Holiday so bonus points! Arrived about 10:30a and given a 20 min wait time. It was definitely full this day. Offered the bar as an option, but the swinging chairs were a deterrent for trying to eat a meal. Ordered the Turtle Coffee beverage, no 2%...only Whole milk. Interesting... for those of us in a certain age bracket, it would be great for them to consider 2%. I proceeded with the coffee and did have an enjoyable taste. Opted for the Breakfast Bowl with pork bacon and pork sausage with the breakfast potatoes. I didn't expect the tortilla shell bowl, but it works out really well when you tear of a piece to eat with the egg scramble part. The bowl has 2 sauces, I had them leave off the honey mustard and stayed with the Chipotle sauce. Flavors were really good together, fresh and hot. Potatoes were a bit dry, next visit will opt for hashbrowns. Very friendly service and overall a nice brunch. read more

Yep another good win guys! Lately my local restaurants been coming through and it didn't stop here. Let's talk about the interior. The have every kind of seating imaginable from tables to swings to couches there is something for everyone. It really is like a lounge restaurant for dining, chilling, getting work dine(seen some people doing that) or just having a latte. Now the important part. The food. All the food was cooked to perfection. The seasonings, the fresh ingredients it was all great. While I am not the biggest coffee drinker, I absolutely loved the Latte flight. I drank all of them. The portion sizes of the Lattes are pretty big so it's better to share with someone. Overall I highly recommend and will be support again. read more

My friends and I dined here for brunch on New Year's Day! We are from Memphis, and we're only in town for a day so we knew we had to find a good brunch spot. Service and food/drinks were amazing! The food was really slow coming out but they were packed so it didn't bother me or friends at all. The restaurant vibes were amazing! The decor, the area, the building space was amazing! I believe our server was Yemaya, (sorry if I'm remembering wrong), she was top tier!! If I'm ever back in stl, I will definitely be stopping back in! Wish I would've taken a picture of our food bc it was phenomenal! Also for other patrons, please give the servers and the host some grace about their bill splitting and gratuity policy. Our host seemed so nervous telling us we could only have two separate checks and gratuity would be automatically on the ticket. read more

Long wait times for a Sat just before noon, but that's good news for their small business! On the flip side: it's a big space, but there's not a lot of table seating. It was going to be 45 mins- 1 hour for a table so we opted to get a coffee to-go and find food down the street. We ordered caramel macchiatos. They were made more like latte macchiatos filled 2/3 way with milk (similar to Starbucks) as opposed to an authentic macchiato with a splash of milk/ dollop of foam. I had been hoping for the latter, but I guess thats why it's called the latte lounge. There's a decent amount of street parking, but it does get busy on the weekends. Would love to see the addition of an online waitlist read more

I have been to the original Latte Lounge many times and I was excited to try their downtown location for some brunch. We came in at 1100 with a group of 10 and they sat us right away in the private upstairs space. This was super nice as we were celebrating our daughter's birthday and she was definitely feeling special. We received great service even though our table was out of the way. I ordered the chocolate covered strawberry latte which came with its a cute heart straw. I also got the chicken and waffles which was delicious. Will definitely be back! read more

I waited, waited, and waited for over 15 at the bar after waiting 5 mins at entrance and seeing them not being super busy at all at 1pm/ but by 1:20pm and no one at the bar spoke, asked for drink order or anything it was simply time to leave because I was hungry and really needed a pick me up coffee and could not waste more time. Especially since wait staff passed by a few times and they cleaned up behind my neighbors. Horrible, unfortunately was excited to visit and try this location but will not return. Ha when I check a place out I want actual service and not to be invisible in a non busy restaurant. I would have understood more if they were slammed but they simply were not on this Tuesday early afternoon. read more

Food was great! But service was slow. Don't seem to know how to navigate big parties.

I was honestly a little disappointed with this place! Maybe I came in with too high of expectations but after reading all the amazing reviews I feel like this definitely fell short. First off, the drinks left... a lot to be desired. For $27 I would have hoped this latte flight would have been AMAZING, and honestly it tasted like straight milk.. I only drank two of them. My friend got Diet Coke and it was easily the worst Diet Coke I had ever had.. I couldn't even put my finger on what was wrong with it but it was just off. Also, everything is served in plastic. Which isn't inherently a bad thing, but this place isn't cheap, so I was expecting a little bit higher of an experience.. Now for my fried rice, it was AMAZING, like if you go I cannot recommend it enough, it was so flavorful and I felt like I got a huge portion. Seriously, if you come here GET THE FRIED RICE. My friend got the breakfast sandwich and it left a lot to be desired but my meal was seriously fantastic! Our waitress was okay, but the hostess was so friendly and made us feel so welcome in the space! All in all I don't regret coming, but I would definitely try a new place before I came here again. read more

Getting here was easy and parking was easy. There is a parking lot or street parking, but we chose to park on the street (in front of the restaurant). The restaurant is huge, but it feels like there aren't a lot of tables available in comparison with the space they had. I heard they host different events there, so maybe that's why there's more space / less tables. We had about a 30-minute wait for a group of 4 on a Sunday brunch. During your wait time, you can go to the bar and order coffee on the swings. The swings at the bar are a cute touch! For my drink, I got an Iced Owner's Favorite (oat milk latte topped with cinnamon powder). My coffee was great with enough cinnamon flavor. For my entree, I ordered the Crab and Crawfish Benedict. The Eggs Benedict was mediocre, I felt as if it was a bit too dry with not enough flavor. I didn't even finish the Eggs Benedict because I wasn't a fan of it. I think I had my hopes a bit higher for it because of all of the other reviews. Service was great for how busy it was. Overall I probably would just order a coffee next time and maybe try their coffee flight. read more

Overall, I had a good experience with my girlies here today for Sunday brunch! I was quoted for 30 minute wait and it felt a little bit longer, but wasn't bad because they have a latte lounge! I got their specialty house latte and a small cup for around seven dollars, it wasn't cheap, but I did enjoy the flavor so for me it was fine! The House Latte came with cinnamon. I enjoyed my meal definitely feel like they could upgrade their dishware and utensils as they continue growing. This is my first time ever having shrimp and grits, and I really enjoyed the flavor and texture! I will definitely come back and try the other menu items that I'm curious about and recommend people to go support this amazing Black owned business! read more
