The sandwiches are incredible (perfect bread, generous portions, and so much flavor), and everything tastes homemade and thoughtfully prepared. You can tell quality ingredients matter here. What really sets Pepper's apart, though, is the service. Friendly, welcoming, and genuinely kind -- the kind of place where you feel like a regular even on your first visit. It's perfect for a quick lunch or an easy, satisfying meal you know will be great every time. So grateful to have such a fantastic deli in Ellisville. We'll definitely be back again and again!

He did order the gravy extra hot, but alas, once again, it was only warm. We know it's never hot. We thought we found a way to get it hot enough, but it didn't work this time. I finally stopped ordering it because of the temperature and it wasn't as tasty as it was in their early days. I got the bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich and it was very good - and the right temp! The staff are great, they get food out fairly quickly, the place is nice - we'll be back and we'll hope we hit it on a day when everything we order is served at the right temperature!

Very reasonably priced and so many options. I also ordered a mango tea. It tasted like an herbal tea which is really good. Doughnuts were soft and delicious. As I took a bite into the strawberry filled, I thought hmm not enough filling, then I thought, actually this is just the right amount. I hate when I bite into a filled doughnut and all the filling is oozing out. I guess I was expecting that but happy that wasn't the case (if that makes sense). As I was leaving, several others started to arrive. This place seems to be steady with customers. My family enjoyed the doughnuts and we'll return for sure.

I couldn't let my camera eat first. We actually ordered to go but there was a bit of a wait. There was I believe a mom and son in front of us who ordered drinks as well and were waiting a bit so I ate the croissant and it was delicious. Not too buttery, the cream inside was very light with a hint of sweetness which I enjoyed and the slices of strawberry balanced it all out. After I ate that, our drinks were ready to pick up. I ordered a matcha latte the first visit and wasn't too impressed. There was no sweetener added and the straws back then were paper and dissolved in my drink. I'm glad they have the plastic straws now so I could fully enjoy and the sweetener was the perfect amount. Not too sweet! I spoke with the barista asking if she enjoyed the tiramisu matcha latte and she admitted she doesn't drink matcha so she couldn't say which I appreciated her honesty instead of trying to upsell me. She was so sweet and did let me know a lot of customers do enjoy it. I'm glad I opted for the matcha again because it made me so happy with how delicious it was! (A MILLION times better than Starbucks!) Every time we go this place is so busy. There is a line but it's never too long and there's never an empty case of pastries.

Their refrigerated cakes are also fantastic--the strawberry tiramisu is my favorite! They're always so light and airy, and I've never been disappointed with them. Unfortunately, I can't say the same about the pastries. Every time I've visited, at both locations, the pastries have been extremely dry. Out of the 5-6 times I've gone, I can only remember one occasion when they weren't. No matter how flavorful a pastry is, the dryness completely ruins the experience. It's honestly disappointing because I really want to love this place, but at this point, I'm going to explore some other bakeries around town.

The menu photo and description led me to expect a flatbread -- what I received was a single corn taco. As a pescatarian, I substituted shrimp for chicken and was charged an additional $6.89 for the swap, bringing the total to over $17 for a single taco. What arrived was cold pesto shrimp in a cold corn taco topped with a few black beans and pieces of corn. A combination that didn't work, and one I did not order. At that price point, I expected something much closer to what was advertised. I'd encourage the restaurant to update the menu photos and description to "taco" so future customers know what they're ordering. When I called, I was offered a refund only for the $6.89 shrimp upcharge, which didn't feel right given I couldn't eat the dish at all. I won't be ordering the Folded Flat again, but I hope this feedback is useful for others and for the team.
