Enter Pine Mountain Country Coffee on Festus Main Street. This is a mini Cracker Barrel. If you look around, it will resemble Cracker Barrel. They have all the candies and the sweets and the baked items. It's adorable inside. Their coffee is strong, it's great, and you should be supporting Local businesses like this. The service is genuine and way faster than the chains. Do not make me go protest in the Starbucks and Dunkin' Donuts parking lots. Don't do that to me.

They recently have reworked the inside some and have a new candy station that is full of all kinds of seasonal goodies. When I worked down the street, I would often come for their cold brew coffee, fir an afternoon pick me up. They also serve some pretty amazing breakfast and lunch sandwiches on New York bagels. Weekend hours are longer over the summer and early fall staying open until 10pm but as they hit October the hours shift to close by 9 o'clock on the weekends. They have cute ice cream cone seating tables as well as an old time soda bar. Definitely our families go-to ice cream splurge. I love that it's on Main Street with all the cute boutiques, shopping and local events.

Breakfast sandwiches and pastries are awesome as well. But we really love the lotus drinks and think that they're very different than other places!

I cannot rave about Zera enough! This has become my friends and I's Saturday morning spot and we…read moretalk about it constantly to anyone that will listen. There is literally nothing I have tried at Zera that I have not loved. My go to is the avocado bagel, sometimes switching to the pickle cream cheese on it & no exaggeration, I look forward to it all week. The baked goods are also insanely good. My recommendations are the cruffins, danishes, quiche, and cinnamon rolls. Alongside the food, having a coffee there is an absolute must. My usual is a 100 Acre Woods Latte with Oatmilk but I have to stray from that for seasonal drinks every now and then & this year, the Gingerbread General took the cake on my favorite holiday drink! On top of such great food and drinks, the staff is the downright kindest you'll ever meet and they work so insanely hard! Zera is truly the loveliest spot in Waterloo and I cannot recommend it enough! When you visit, take in the gorgeous details of the space and pop into the cozy vault with a friend! P.S. They just now started selling their granola in bags and it's a must buy! It's 100x better than any granola you can buy at the store!

Every visit makes me feel so lucky to have a place like this right here in Waterloo. I highly recommend trying one of their seasonal coffees along with some favorites; the breakfast sandwich with ham & jam, cheesy bacon grits, BLT salad, or the MOCO Club. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. It's definitely worth a stop the next time you're looking for breakfast, coffee, or a lighter lunch.

The service was friendly and my order was accurate. The restaurant was very clean and they had several gender neutral bathrooms. They have an outdoor deck in the sun or you can choose the main dining area indoors with couches, table and chairs or half booth bench seating. It is inviting to stay awhile. There is a decent selection of coffee drinks and they have a fridge full of canned soda, water, etc. They have gluten-free products and some grab-and-go items. They also have salads, sandwiches and soups. My Santorini salad was very fresh with Kalamata olives and a honey dressing. Get extra dressing on the side because you will want more. They have an event space available for rent with big windows. It looks perfect for a shower or birthday party.

Corner Cup has been mine and my husband's favorite spot to grab an iced latte since moving to…read moreFestus. Even when we stop by other coffee shops in STL or Saint Charles, Corner Cup is still our favorite. My go-to is an iced pistachio latte with honey drizzle (the first time I came here they had a seasonal Baklava Latte and it was sooo good) and my husband gets an iced hazelnut latte. I've also tried their iced chai and it is delicious--not too sweet and just the right amount of spices. My favorite, savory baked food is their spinach and feta danish. I highly recommend getting one with your coffee for a light breakfast. The baristas are so kind and welcoming, and they always remember my name because I go there so much haha. The shop itself is very cute, and their furniture is quaint and unique, and they always have fun, coffee-related knick-knacks for sale. Must-try spot in Festus! Also, you can order large, to-go drinks which I did on a Saturday because they're closed Sunday and Monday.
