Oh my - what a great spot in Downtown St. Charles for baked goods!…read more We came in less than an hour before closing, and Mr. Meowski himself was so nice to us. The case was barely filled except for a few pastries: chocolate croissant, blueberry muffin, butter croissant, and almond croissant. Luckily for us, that is our typical order! He was so apologetic but we knew to not expect a lot so close to their end of business. It smelled so wonderful inside! There was no area for sitting down so we took our pastries to go. They were divine! He let us know they do pre-orders as well so we might do that this weekend.

Sadly, we were probably the last customers and they ran out of most things which means good for them everything is delicious! The owner was so nice and welcoming. We got the pain ai chocolate and a Kouign amann. They pain ai chocolate was so flaky in a good way and just delicious. The Kouign Amann was everything! It was buttery and tasty! I wished I could have tried the regular croissant, but hopefully if I visit again I'll have to come back.

We had a large party for lunch…read more The menu has a good selection for whatever you may be in the mood for. I had the chicken modiga pizza and a side house salad. The pizza was a nice mix of flavors and a nice change of pace. The house salad was filling and the house dressing is delicious. Service was good, and I loved the decor in the restaurant.

The taste and texture were amazing. I ordered the chicken spedini. It was very good. I also had a salad for my side. Everything was wonderful.

Walked in on a Sunday morning and ran into the in-laws on accident and they were sitting out on the…read morepatio with two of their good friends. We walked inside and saw there was a line of 2-3 people ahead of us. We saw a man to the side who injected himself since he was waiting on a drink and we saw that he was forgotten and no one had made his drink. He was nice about it but I could tell he was upset. There were two cashiers and when it was finally our turn based off our receipt Kenzie D took our order. We ordered peanut butter smoothie, an americano, a cinnamon scone and pumpkin bread. Any sort of customer service went out the window. There was no greeting, no eye contact, no acknowledgment of him finishing inputting an item down to get the next one. I say this because I asked for pumpkin bread and it was forgotten. I didn't even want it after seeing how long it took others to get their order. You would think that you would get your order right after the person in front of you orders but no, two people from groups that ordered after us received their order and we were left there standing waiting for 10-15 minutes. We thought that was the worst of it... We went outside to sit with the in-laws and friends and they were like "that took awhile..." and I told them there was only 3 people ahead of us and that's when they told us what happened to them. My mother in law ordered a drink and so did my father in law. My father in law received his drink and was waiting for a really long time for my mother in laws. So long that he spoke to one of the women passing out orders to check to see if it was done yet. She told him he would need to get in line and order it since they didn't receive it. There was a line and he already waited and didn't want to get back in line so he spoke to the manager and the manager said he heard the exchange and didn't say anything to make it right. So my father in law was like forget it and it just went outside to sit with the rest of the group. The manager came out and gave a disgusted look and gave my mother in law a drink. Then friends also confirmed that he was not nice at all when he came out and probably did it out of spite. I saw she had finished it and gasped because knowing the food industry he probably spit in that drink. Needless to say none of us will be going back to this place. There is no such thing as hospitality here or making things right. And I found out that the cashier that rang us out was the manager? Smh... As much as food or drinks can taste good, not having taste in your service can affect the experience so much so it can't rectify what's been done. Couldn't eat the scone after two bites and the peanut butter smoothie was melty with chunks of banana. I'll stick to supporting pj's and smoothie king.

I hadn't been to an Einsteins in years! My husband suggested…read moreit because it was on the way to somewhere else we were going. The place was hoppin' on a Saturday morning! There are tables right outside the building and, of course, there were tables inside. There were constantly people going in and out - some to pick up online orders and others placing orders. We made our choices, ordered, and got our lattes and bagel sandwiches really fast. And it was so good! We sat outside and people watched while we ate - the weather was perfect that day. I highly recommend Einsteins!

The five star just missed because of the price and hustle and bustle…read more A Monday breakfast rush was in full swing this visit and caused some staff members to be a little more agitated with orders and questions. I was happy the order took less than 10 minutes and came out correctly and hot. Each bagel sandwich is cut in half but can be uncut. I loved the all nighter and my husband got the Texas brisket which was not too hot in flavor. The blueberry muffin was thick and had a great ratio of muffin top to crumbly base! This space would do numbers if it had a drive thru as the location is off Manchester and close to a gym and park. There is plenty of indoor and patio seating. Bring in your pup or service dog as they have beggin bacon dog treats and dog bagels too! Accessibility parking is in a few places and there are low and high tables for seating. The card reader at the registers are lower too which is a plus.

I was looking for something quick and healthy to eat, and landed here. It was a Monday afternoon…read moreand the place was practically empty. The cashier was semi-friendly, and made me feel hurried to order something. I ordered the Greek Salad, Mediterranean veggie sandwich, and a bag of chips. I was given a pager and told to pick up my order from the window when it buzzed. I went to find a seat, and most of the tables were dirty with food, napkins, leftover plates, or crumbs. I was surprised because there were only a couple of people in there besides me. When my food was ready, I went to the window to pick up my food. The man behind the window was very friendly and thanked me, but when I went back to ask for a fork, the woman behind the window seemed irritated that I bothered her for a fork. As for my food, my sandwich was tasty, but my salad had way too much Greek dressing on it. It was overpowering. I also didn't get the bag of chips I ordered; I received a baguette. I didn't want to deal with the attitude from the woman in the window again, so I just ate the baguette. If I lived in the area, I might've given this location a second try, Oh well!

I'm not sure what this place even is, despite having dined there yesterday. It serves breakfast,…read morelunch and dinner, and doesn't seem to specialize in anything in particular. It's in a weirdly large building that looks like a place where you'd go to get lasik surgery. I visited after a run on a day where the heat index was like 109, so I didn't spend that much time inside, just enough to drip sweat all over the front counter and the floor in the vestibule. We sat outside in an area that seems like the place where you'd pull up and unload your luggage at a hotel. A member of our group says she once attended some sort of Xmas pop-up in the basement here where you were charged a cover and then expected to pay for drinks and pizza, so... uh, caveat emptor. We ordered at the little bar up front, but I'm not sure if that's also the case if you dine inside. These places always flip out when there's umpteen different people ordering separately, because they only have but so many of those numbers you set on the table so they know where to bring your food. It ended up not being an issue with us, because who else was going to engage in al fresco dining during a heat advisory? This place serves pizza, but it didn't look that good in the few photos I saw. Granted, food often looks like crap in Yelp photos. Also, there's an emphasis on '90s-style health food, organic ingredients and what have you. There's a Salmon BLT that's featured prominently that seemed like it might be the thing to get, but I didn't know enough about this place to be ordering fish, and I'd already been meaning to eat a bacon cheeseburger for the past several days. Maybe next time. There is no bacon cheeseburger as a separate menu item unto itself. I figured I might just order a cheeseburger and add bacon, but I'm not sure if that's an option, and this wasn't a regular cheeseburger. It had a few different weird cheeses on it, spinach and maybe some other things. Then I saw the Dill-bert, which seemed like it might be really good. It has, among other things, dill Havarti cheese (whatever that is), avocado, and of course, bacon. It's served on a wheat bun, which, whatever. Its name is not a tribute to Scott Adams, as far as I know, but this is Ballwin. The Dill-bert did not disappoint. No Diddy. The beef comes from one of those special farms where the cows are all given names as if they were human beings, groomed on a daily basis by trafficking victims and read bedtime stories, and you really can taste the difference. It's a better quality meat. It's also expertly prepared. It's well-seasoned and cooked until it develops a nice char on the exterior. It was a bit more done on the inside than I require, but that may have been unavoidable. For a side, there was an option of tater tots cooked in an air fryer, like if your mom was feeling lazy. I didn't see any french fries, but maybe I'm going blind. I ordered a side salad, which is my thing these days. Sometimes they're surprisingly good, and a french fry is a french fry, unless you're at McDonald's. This one was pretty good, but it was definitely on the health-food side of things--very fresh and lightly but sufficiently dressed with something citrus-y and not too oily. Oh, and I was duped into purchasing a whiskey sour slushie. It just seemed like it would be so refreshing. It must have cost nearly as much as my meal, given what my bill came out to. They must think I'm a sucker. Did they receive advance notice of my visit? It did kinda hit the spot, and I probably got drunker than I would have otherwise, because I was suffering from a minor heatstroke, so there was that.

My favorite lunch is the 5 cheese tomato basil pizza which has a unique flavor profile with delicious cheeses including smoked gouda - and fresh tomatoes.

The line can get long but usually goes fast. The harder part can be finding a seat. They do have a lot of seating though including outdoor options.
