We went the Saturday before Mother's Day about 9:30am and it was PACKED. A bit chaotic and felt unorganized but we figured it out. Since the place has very limited seating, I highly suggest seating upstairs on the rooftop. That's what we did. You order on your phone and staff brings it up (although I was expecting to have to go get it). The coffee was good. The candied bacon was very good! My son and husband enjoyed the pancakes and a breakfast sandwich. The potatoes were good too. The biscuits were underwhelming we thought and the sausage gravy had more of a Cajun feel than traditional. We will go again and glad they are in the area! read more

Pink Willow Cafe - Rooftop latte and biscuit - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Cottleville, Missouri

I wanted to love this place!! But it was meh. Food was ok, but the 6 of us did not rave about it. Coffee brand was not good. Adorable pink decor. Rooftop was so nice on a fall sunny morning. Service is not why you are going there. QR code ordering and food delivered in a cart. Don't expect any help if you ask for something. I get the business model. But over all my group of ladies were underwhelmed. Try it for yourself. read more

This place was alright, could've been better. Went for my birthday and seemed like the place was ran by high schoolers. I asked for no ham on my sandwich and came with ham, then I let them know and they said ok sorry. Then they brought out my sandwich without the fries. Got my fries they had ketchup with them and not bbq. I asked for bbq and said they were out even though she offered it to me while ordering.. felt kind of rude when they asked if we wanted the check while we were still eating. read more

I've been in twice now, and this probably has to be my new favorite spot. My first visit was during breakfast hours. I was seated out on their front patio. The inside and outside spaces are adorable and comfortable. I was greeted warmly by the team on my arrival. My server was friendly and prompt. I ordered both visits via QR code at my table. My breakfast visit meal included a London fog tea. The barista expertly concocted the perfect drink to my sweet but not to sweet specifications. My meal consisted of the avocado toast with a side of bacon. My only suggestion would be to season the avocado mash with a little salt and pepper. The bacon is first rate thick crispy slices. My second visit I met friends for lunch. We were seated on the rooftop terrace. The space was bright but offered umbrellas to keep things cool and comfortable. I'm on a lavender kick this summer so the lavender lemonade with edible glitter was as refreshing as it was beautiful. I decided that the bacon was so fantastic at my last visit, I figured the BLT was the obvious lunch choice. I was not disappointed. I added a little avocado for flair. A side of fries rounded out my meal. A must visit spot, highly recommend. read more

Go for a drink, stay for the food. Our server was so kind and did a wonderful job. The food and drinks both came out quickly. Try the specialty drinks! My infused lavender lemonade was so delicious and overall beautiful. Fairly simple menu made delicious with the accommodating bread and sauces. The candied bacon on the BLT or addition to a sandwich is a must! read more

Cute breakfast/brunch spot in Cottleville. Definitely stop by if you are looking for a great breakfast/brunch spot. Food and drinks were amazing! The restaurant fills up quick so more than likely if you aren't early you will be waiting to be seated. However, there is a waiting list. read more

Very cool place! Highly recommend for special occasions for us girlies! The food was very tasty and drinks were excellent. Would recommend getting on their waiting list at least two hours before you arrive. read more

Group of men went. Going back. Clean, great food and value. The cinnamon roll is amazing. Go early/they run out ! All good breakfast.

Place is adorable! It is very tiny. I ordered a salad with grilled chicken and poppyseed dressing. I'm always nervous to order salads with dressing "as is", but this had the absolute perfect ratio of salad to dressing and it was absolutely delicious. The service was very friendly, but there was no refilling of my water, and I attribute that to how jampacked it is in there with all of the tables full. read more

No WiFi. Was in the area and needed to get some charting done between patients. I love finding cool cafes to check out. Ordered coffee & was going to get breakfast but I asked the server for the WiFi password she said they don't have WiFi for the customers. So I took my coffee to go and found somewhere else. I can't really understand a cafe of all places not having WiFi?? More of a place to go just for an instagram story. Can't speak for the food. My $7 coffee was fine. read more

Super cute restaurant! Great for a little brunch. We did go early and it was super crowded when we left so if you don't want to wait, go early! The eggs were just ok but the pancakes were 10/10!! Cinnamon roll was also fantastic. Service was fast. Would definitely go back! read more

I ordered the Lemon curd French toast, my kids ordered pancakes, which are huge. Also ordered a cinnamon roll as a breakfast appetizer, the four of us devoured it quickly, it was delicious. Prices for food is okay, coffee, in my opinion was over priced. $4 for a simple black coffee and was never even offered a refill. The indoor atmosphere was very, very loud. read more

Pink Willow Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Cottleville, Missouri

My daughter and I went to this cute place on a Saturday. We went before hitting the farmers market. First, the staff was very accommodating. Once we went inside it was very loud. It's a small place, so it didn't take much for the volume to be elevated. The staff helped us get a table outside and it was 100% better. The menu is the perfect "size". Not too many choices, but just enough to make any patron happy. I enjoyed the sweet potato hash with micro greens. Now, I would probably let customers know they are cilantro greens since many people are not fond of them. I am not one of them, so I loved the added freshness. The iced mocha was very delicious. I will definitely be going back, but only if I can sit outside again. Lovely little gem in Cottleville. read more

A very cute new cafe is Cottleville. The wait times can be long but they text you when your table is ready. We enjoyed shopping at the nearby boutiques while waiting. They have a large menu considering the space and kitchen are pretty small. The menu has a daily soup and quiche option but it wasn't noted that those may not be available on certain days or are considered seasonal. The food we ordered was tasty. The coffee and rose wine were also nice. I really like the pay at the table option using a QR code. read more

I've been excited to finally have a brunch spot in Cottleville - this is exactly what has been missing. For being open only a few weeks, I expected some hiccups - but there were none! The wait was long, but that is expected and is great for a new business - be sure to check the wait list early. The servers were wonderful, the food was fantastic, and each detail in the decor, mocha art, and design made this the perfect brunch spot. So excited to have something like this in Cottleville, and very impressed already! read more

What we ordered: The fried egg sandwich(subbed the fried egg for a scrambled egg and added the sausage gravy on the side), Avocado Toast, The sunrise hash bowl (subbed sweet potatoes for regular potatoes), and the French toast. Would I go again: I honestly don't know what I was expecting but the food surpassed all of my expectations! The sausage gravy was some of the best I've ever had and it was so delicious on the potatoes (and on the breakfast sandwich). All food items are $16 and under which is amazing for the amount of food you get! The cafe is quite small and reservations are accepted up to 72h in advance, otherwise you can add your name to the waitlist on their site or once you arrive. read more

This place was adorable and the ambiance was fun and elegant. We waited over 30 mins for a table, but it was a busy Sunday. The restaurant is loud, but seemed to be perfect for a "girls" lunch or brunch. The coffees looked adorable, but I was already fully caffeinated. I wanted to try several things on the menu, but settled on the Buddha Teriyaki Bowl. Although visually appealing, it was underwhelming, having zero flavor. Even after asking for extra teriyaki sauce, which it seemed they initially forgot to add (see photos), it still lacked the flavorful punch that most Asian food has. My hubby got the BBQ summer salad and my kids enjoyed the Adult BLT and cheeseburger kids meal. They seemed to enjoy all of them. I'd give this place another try, but I'd go during breakfast, on a week day, and I'd pass up the Buddha bowl for sure. read more

Pink Willow Cafe - Single Pancake, no powdered sugar - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Cottleville, Missouri

My girlfriends and I visited this place a year ago and everything was great and we couldn't wait to go back. Went back two weeks ago and it was a completely different experience. We knew we needed to put ourselves on the waiting list before we left the house because it's about a 45 minute drive and waited another 20 minutes when we got there which is completely fine that's not the complaint. When they finally early us they sat us at a two person table with three grown adults. When we expressed our disappointment and that there were 2 other 4 tops open all they could say was sorry we have 12 other people in line. Excuse me we waited 75 minutes to enjoy our experience as well. If you have 12 people in line they could've gotten on the list sooner like we did. This wasn't two adults and a child at the end of the table this was three adults. We ended up ordering half of what we normally would (we like to order and share a bunch of different things) because we absolutely had no room to do so. Complete disappointment for all three of us and unfortunately it was the last time all three of us will be together as one of them is being stationed in another state so that brunch was special and it was overshadowed by frustration. Cute place but won't be going back. read more

I was so excited to try this new ladies that lunch spot! The decor and atmosphere are very fun and upbeat from the exterior. Inside, the tables are extremely small and so close you can hear the stranger next to you but not the person next to you. That in and of itself is not great but also not terrible. The service was slow, difficult to communicate with the noise and low energy for such a high vibing place. I ordered the teriyaki dish which was served cold, with hard rice and a sauce that did not even resemble teriyaki. I ate one bite and asked them to take it away. I would never ask someone to remove some thing from the bill, but after over a decade and food service, I was shocked that the manager did not at least come by the table and inquire what the problem was. No photo because the food was on the table less than 2 minutes. The drink was ok but overpriced for what it was. read more

Pink Willow Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Cottleville, Missouri

There is zero sound proofing inside this establishment and the cacophony of sounds was deafening and horribly loud. Nothing about eating inside would be relaxing or enjoyable. As such we waited longer for an outside table. Our waitress was nice but told us she had 8 tables between inside and outside, she was running around very frazzled. We got French 75's, I got the sweet potato hash and my friend got the biscuits and gravy. The drinks were great and presented well. The biscuit was very hard and the gravy was cold when we received it. It was send back and remade and the gravy was hot and better the second time around. The sweet potato hash was good but could have used another egg on top. For the size of the bowl and portion two eggs as proteins just feels like it makes mores sense. The lurking people waiting for their tables hanging around the patio and the street really kind of took away from your experience as they were just aggressively watching you waiting for you to be down so they got their turn. Overall I was mostly underwhelmed at best. I wouldn't go out of my way to go again. The "quaintness" is lost by the horribly loud acoustics and lurking table waiters. read more

Food was amazing, service was good. I took off a star because you are literally on top of other tables. If only the space was larger and more private. read more

I'm giving this place a 5 star! The wait was long 13 people in front . About an hour 1/2 wait - however they opened up the roof so no wait you order online and they bring it to you . The staff were very busy but very kind about helping me. I ordered the chopped salad with blue berries- strawberries- feta- candied walnuts - bacon and more . The salad was huge and the fruit was perfect with big blueberries. My daughter and niece got the adult grilled cheese which came with melted havarti cheese and apples all melted into deliciousness .the sandwich was so big my daughter gave me half . Of course we took home a lot . We ordered pink lemonade with strawberries in it as well as glitter !! Very refreshing . I'm glad we ended up here because the food and staff were worth it !! Totally recommend!! The place is small but it was all worth it!! read more

I really really wanted to give this place more stars. Most of the staff was very kind. I do love all of the pink. The atmosphere is fun, but it is entirely too loud. There seems to be no soundproofing, I could barely hear the person sitting next to me. The wait is kind of long because there are only about 10 tables between the inside and outside. The menu seems reasonably priced. Unfortunately the coffee is absolutely horrible. The avocado toast was very good, the pickled onions are House made, and they are probably the best I ever had. Unfortunately there was a mistake on my food that was sent back and corrected. The only issue is I ordered a side of rosemary potatoes, but they didn't come out until we were about 10 minutes away from leaving, overall, even with the good prices and fresh food, I don't know if I will be returning read more

My mother and I chose the Pink Willow for our annual fall girls day. It was disappointing and upsetting and not a good experience. Was offered rooftop seating, yes! However no one told us the rooftop is to go only with no server. Paid 20$ for a salad in a to go box that was not dressed. Paid for extra dressing in an embarrassingly small container. Went down to the hostess stand to ask for plates and more dressing. Waited 5 minutes for the gal to come back and say they'll bring us the plates and dressing to the roof top. They never brought us plates or dressing. Two stars because the food is good. The service was unreal. My 75 year old mother ate her undressed salad on a plastic lid. Should have gone to the grocery store and bought mixed greens. Pink Willow-do better. Tell us what we are going to get on the roof and better yet, follow through with customer requests. Is a plate too much to ask? read more

Unfortunately we had a bad experience for our first visit. We called to see if they accepted call ahead seating around 10am on a Sunday. They confirmed they did and let me know the wait time was over an hour. They also let me know I could go to the rooftop, which had the same menu, but cafeteria style (no waited tables). We put our name in and the wait time ended up being about 90 minutes. The problem with this is the breakfast menu, which was the whole reason for us going, stopped at 11:00. This information would have been GReAT to know when I called earlier. We swallowed our disappointment and looked at the rest of the menu. I ordered the Cristo, my Wife ordered the cinnamon roll and my boys ordered other items on the lunch menu. Our waitress came back after about 5 minutes saying they were out of the cinnamon rolls and Cristo. Out entire visit was built around having brunch and we were unable to order anything expect lunch items. They need to work on having better communication and ensuring you have adequate ingredients for the items on the menu. Not sure it's worth another visit to try again. read more

Great food! The breakfast burrito is a personal favorite and the summertime chocolate coconut latte was delicious!

My friends and I were really excited to try this cute cafe, but unfortunately, we left feeling pretty disappointed. The atmosphere was lovely, but the service was a major letdown. We had to ask multiple times for our drinks and food, it felt like they just weren't paying attention to us. We were really hoping for a fun, relaxing experience, but the lack of attention definitely took away from it. I really wanted to love this place, but with the slow service, it's hard to recommend. What made the experience even more upsetting was when the manager came over notifying us we had reached the 90 minute time limit on our stay. I did explain this was due to the lack of service and the multiple requests for items ordered. We actually wanted to try more of the specialty drinks, but weren't given more than one opportunity to order. Hopefully, they can improve in that area because the vibe is great! read more

I was so excited to try this place with my husband and our baby (still in a carrier)! It is a small restaurant and curated so cute! When we arrived there was a 4 top (dirty) and a 2 top (clean- but had a neighboring table's purse and coat on the seats). She greeted us quickly and asked how many? I said 2 and a baby and said we could at the 2 top. I said okay, is there a place we could put the carrier? Or could we get the other table cleaned off? She said no, that is given to another table (already seated) and it would take 20 minutes to clean the table off. I understand being busy, but 20 minutes to clean a table seems a bit outlandish. read more

super cute place and nice workers. unfortunately the aesthetics don't make up for the average food. i got pancakes and honestly i make them better at home. the syrup was watered down and didn't help much. my mom got a side of potatoes and bacon they were both missing something if you get what i mean. they needed salt or something. as far as the ambiance it was extremely loud we came on Friday at 10:30. my mom compared it to disney world read more
