    Meshuggah's Americano, breakfast 'bagel' (I got mine on sourdough), and thought-provoking reading to start the day.
    Adam B.

    I never tire of this place. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It isn't fancy. It's not presumptuous. It's simply the neighborhood - students, older locals, and others, all talking, laughing, drinking their coffee, eating any variety of their breakfasts and more, and enjoying time together in this comfortably appointed coffee shop on Delmar.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] People know one another here, with the staff and owners checking in with regulars and welcoming new people as though they've always been here. I come here as often as I can - my go-to is their black coffee, each cup of which is essentially this delicious freshly steamed/brewed americano - and today I added their breakfast bagel, made by my request on sourdough. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I meet here with colleagues, friends, and myself, making space to read and think and be in a place that's just good and honest and kind.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'll be back again soon.

    My favorite spot on the loop. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The coziest atmosphere perfect for catching up with friends or catching up on work.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The matcha latte is delicious and I get it every time I go. The bagels are also good, and the spotted pig is probably my favorite. Definetly go for the everything bagel! Service is always friendly and quick.

    Lavender oat latte

    Cute and delicious! I sometimes forget about this hidden gem of a cafe but when I do go I always enjoy my time there. Today I'm enjoying their iced lavender oat milk latte. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love the plants in the window, the window seating, the eclectic decorations, and fun menu boards.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have a plethora of options, too! The staff was helpful and quick. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Excited to take a book here and read in the window sometime :)[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    The service is excellent and [[HIGHLIGHT]]ambiance is perfect for small groups, couples and individuals.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The only thing that I wasn't too fond about was not having an option to have my coffee served in a cup for in-house consumption.

    Their customer service is so nice! [[HIGHLIGHT]]A cute mom and pop place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I think their food is good, nothing too crazy but a nice solid place.

    We wanted a special breakfast and, by golly, we got it! Meshuggah Cafe is cute as all get out, with fabulous art for sale on the walls. Oh, and the food is great, too! I loved the vibe. There were a lot of students with laptops, which makes sense given the cafe's proximity to Washington University. The staff taking our order and delivering our food... all very nice and cool. I apologize, I don't recall what we ordered, but I can attest both of our bagels were fantastic. I'll state with confidence - no matter what you order, you will love it! And the Ube colored smoothie, not on the menu, must have been a special. I'm here to tell you it was special. I remember it and it was GOOD! If you're in the area and looking for a breakfast spot, this is it!

    Cute place. They did have decaf which I always appreciate. They modified the flavoring well (1/2 the sweetness) and were quick with the delivery. The price was reasonable.

    cheese, egg, and bacon on an everything bagel sandwich
    Vivienne C.

    The vibes in this place are so cute! First time trying this place out and got a cute little nook upstairs to eat, and definitely would consider doing homework here. The ordering was fast and efficient and the prices weren't too bad. I ordered the cheese, egg, and bacon on an everything bagel sandwich, I forgot its name. I've never been a big fan of everything bagels, but the bagels here are actually amazing as it is super toasty and the seasoning on top is not overpowering the semi-sweet carb. Wish there was more bacon in the mix, but I did really appreciate the fluffy eggs with cheese. I felt super full afterward, it could be considered a brunch item honestly, so I would say that it's pretty worth the $8. Overall, great experience and Meshuggah. I will definitely be back for more and studying.

The gizzards immediately reminded me of the ones from the old Sunrise Restaurant on Hanley, a nostalgic surprise! They were crispy, flavorful, and cooked just right.

Even so, the food was good, and I'll definitely be back to try other items on the menu. Great first impression overall, and if you're a fan of chicken gizzards, I definitely recommend giving them a try!

Me and a friend went there and we both ordered the same corn dog, half and half original Korean corn dog, on the same order ticket. As soon as we got there I noticed we were the only ones in line and the restaurant was pretty empty, so we should get our food fairly quickly. About a line of 5 people came, ordered their food, and received their food before we ever got ours. We kept waiting and the waitress finally brought our food after about 30 minutes of waiting, but only my friend received his food. We waited longer for my food to come and it still took them about an extra ten minutes, which wasn't given to us until we went to the counter and let them know I still haven't received my food and it was then they gave me my corn dog. After I finally received my food I noticed how big it was and was at least excited to try it, but as soon as I bit into it, the majority of the inside was air and a little bit of mozzarella cheese. I was really disappointed by this experience and had high hopes I was going to enjoy it. I'm giving this experience 1 star, this place has great foods and desserts that they offer and could be better, but the staff really has to step up their performance.

We have so many good coffee spots in the city and this one seemed so interesting to me! Parking was easy, we walked up and only had to wait a few minutes in line. The menu is awesome, and honestly, their food options are priced really fair. Coffee does seem on the expensive side (two lattes for ~$20) BUT it is speciality coffee afterall. You can also see where they're roasting it, so you know it's fresh. I got the s'mores latte and my husband got a dirty chai. They obsviously use super high quality ingredients AND make syrups in house. Very unique, fresh flavors in both mine and my husbands latte. And both were SO GOOD. Espresso was pulled perfect and had great taste. Their patio is awesome, they have a little indoor space in their greenhouse as well, but we opted for outside since it was a nice morning. It's a beautiful property, and if I ever need a place to sit and work, this would be it. If we lived walking distance, this spot would be dangerous. Definitely one of the more fresh, tastier coffee spots in the city!

    What an odd name for a coffee shop located in the lobby of a medical office building…read more Er, I'm assuming this is a medical office building. I've only gone there to have blood work done, and even then, only because I couldn't get an appointment at any of the other locations, natch. My understanding is that this building was built back in the 1980s, maybe around the time they built the Galleria, with the thought that if they built one such building others would follow. Fast forward 40 years later and not only is this the only skyscraper in the area, it's one of the only (semi-) occupied structures on this accursed stretch of Brentwood Blvd. I imagine foot traffic is minimal, but I'd encourage anyone who just got off the MetroLink on their way to stab someone at the aforementioned Galleria to stop by and have a look. This place makes a mean Strawberry Matcha. It might honestly be better than the one I had at the Upshot in Clayton, which I passed on my run from here yesterday. It took all the strength of will I could muster to not stop and have a burrito, like when Bill Clinton used to stop at McDonald's on his runs back in the early '90s. Weirdly, I'm now the exact same age, and let's just say I get it. All of it. I love the fact that they give this drink to you not stirred, so you can see the separation between the milk, the strawberry syrup and the matcha (whatever that is). A girl I was with (but not "with," natch) remarked that it looked like an Italian flag. Also, it probably ensures that you're getting the various ingredients in the correct ratio. Sometimes you get these lattes, and they mostly just taste like milk. They're not putting enough syrup in them, and the issue might be that the syrup is visually indistinguishable from the rest of the drink. It's a brown-ish liquid in another brown-ish liquid. The only way to know if it's right would be to taste it, and I don't need some of these baristas tasting my drink. I don't know where their mouth has been. (Some of them could do literally anything and I'd be fine with it.) Anyway, it was a good drink. The burrito wasn't as good as the burrito at Upshot, but it might be the second best one that I've had, and I've had breakfast burritos from all over: Living Room, Bike Stop Cafe, Goshen Coffee Roasters. They give you the choice between bacon or a non-meat option. I didn't think to specify (the heat may have permanently damaged my brain), and they had the sense to give me bacon. Kudos! I like the fact that there's potato in addition to the bacon and egg, providing variety and heft. The monterey jack cheese gives it a vaguely southwestern vibe, and then the chipotle crema that comes with it (truly a miracle substance) really sets it off. I also got a Pesto and Parm Focaccia, on a recommendation from one of the girls in our group. I didn't need it, and if the taste was any indication, this was one of the least healthy things I've ever eaten--like an elevated Cheddar Bay Biscuit from Red Lobster, if you can imagine. But it was good, and it was further proof that this place knows what they're doing, weird name and location notwithstanding.

    I was remarking to a member of my running group that I've probably driven past this place a million…read moretimes and never noticed it was there. I'm not sure what I imagined it being. A Kinkos? Some place where I could print off copies of my zine about protecting the environment by committing minor acts of terrorism in America's forests? Turns out, it's a place where you can listen to truly random vinyl records while eating burritos entirely too good to be available in Clayton. Nothing about the latter says this part of town except for the price, which is almost like someone's cruel idea of a joke. I'd suggest that they're the best breakfast burritos available anywhere in the area, but what do I know? I've been eating breakfast burritos since the Reagan administration, when they were invented (as far as I know), but mostly of the microwavable variety. They have the potential to be the best food possible, because they combine the two other best foods, breakfast sandwiches and Mexican food, but no one seems to put any real effort into them. They're less likely than their lunch/dinner counterpart to cause gastrointestinal distress. People suspect that the reason Chipotle gives you the runs roughly every third time you visit is because of the cilantro, which is impossible to wash, but I heard it's really the lettuce. Never get lettuce on a burrito from Chipotle. If you're getting one of those bowls, why are you even going to Chipotle? You're probably already fat, and not eating a tortilla is not going to make a difference. But I digress. Upshot is primarily a coffee shop, and I think it's generally well regarded as far as that's concerned, though I'm no expert. I drink a nice, stiff six cups or so of whatever's on sale first thing in the morning and it usually ends up being the highlight of my day. I don't need any coffee in addition to that. I might get nervous. I've had luck lately with the seasonal selections at other local coffee shops that I've visited, so I figured I'd take my chances with an iced strawberry matcha latte. It seemed like it would be nice and refreshing after getting in a few miles with the homies, and damn it if it didn't hit the spot. You could see the actual seeds in it from where they must have crushed up an actual strawberry to make it, thus justifying the price, at least as far as they're concerned. They spared no expense with the burrito either. It's filled with surprisingly large chunks of bacon and avocado. Can they afford to give you more bacon because they don't cook it to the point where it starts to shrink? I like it when it's still kinda chewy, but I'm sure many would beg to differ. That must be how bacon is served in Clayton. They don't have the lovable old James bring it out to you, but I can understand, with this being 2026. It's not the lengthiest tortilla in the world, but it's stuffed to nearly overflowing with eggs, cheese, potatoes and what have you. I'd suggest bringing a date just to see if she could wrap her lips around it, but who's got that kind of money? It would have to be someone you've already been out with a few times, who's with the program, so to speak.
