I go whenever I'm visiting St. Louis and it's always a pleasant experience. The staff are all kind and helpful. The pancakes are a must and they hit every single time. Asked for the bacon crispy and overheard the table over ask for it chewy and everyone got theirs according to their preference. I'd skip the matcha and more eclectic drinks.

I've had this spot on my list for awhile, so when my husband wanted to do a coffee date, I thought…read moreit was the perfect time to try it! 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!

I was driving pass thinking what am I going to eat and I saw 2 customers walk out with 2 big bags of food... I said to myself people don't buy that much food unless it's good.. So I decided to give it a try. I had chicken and waffles, and a specialty alcohol adult drink....lol There was music playing as I sipped my drink and waited for my food which came out in no time. The drink and music playing gave the place a warm happy hour vibe. The waffles were sooooo good.... They were soft, fluffy and cooked to perfection. I'm like is this a cake or a waffle. The wings were seasoned perfectly and crisp to perfection. It felt like I was a an upscale restaurant on PeaceTree street in Atlanta.... I highly recommend this place for an early morning brunch, lunch or after work bite to eat before you go home.

My friend had a table at the front so I immediately saw him when I walked in. Wasn't crowded and people at each table were enjoying themselves. They had music but it wasn't overwhelming so conversations were possible. I ordered 4pc wings and grits (cuz I had a bad grits experience at breakfast so I figure this would redeem it). They also had free mimosa on Sunday (hint hint). Also, they close their kitchen at 3:30pm as well. Food wise, I was satisfied. They had a limited menu. Chicken was hot and crispy.

I'm glad I entered from the opposite way google maps wanted me to add the lot isn't as big as it should be. The seating inside is a little cramped to me, at least where they sat us. It was a 2 top next to the wall across from a 4 top. Between our table and the next was a tiny path to the bathroom area which is too close. Next time, I'll be specific with where not to seat me. Outside of that, the service was really good. Great staff, very attentive. Menu had a nice option so it took us a minute to fully review the menu. The food was delicious. Cinnamon roll was very sweet as expected so brace yourself. My menu mimosa was pretty good. A lot of pulp from the mango and not enough champagne but still enjoyable. We will definitely.

Upon arriving, the parking lot appeared jammed pack, and you could tell there was a wait. I checked us in to be put on the waiting list. Our wait was about 30 minutes. We were sat at a two top table. A server came over to grab our drink order, and our actual server came over to introduce his self. Our server was polite and willing to answer any questions I had. We waited about 30-40 minutes for our food to come out. I ordered short stack pancakes (w/strawberries and blueberries), bacon and eggs. The pancakes were huge, fluffy, and savory. Bacon was crispy, and eggs were cooked perfectly. My husband ordered a country omelet that came with a side of pancakes. He stated his pancakes were rubbery, but his omelet was good. This place is not very big and can feel quite cramped when full. There's not much room to stretch out, and when people are walking past it feels as if they are all up on you.

So this past Sunday, I took advantage of their Brunch. I started my Sunday breakfast with an adult beverage. Their Bloody Mary, has just enough spice to give it a good kick to start your morning. I don't know about you, but I always have to have a cup of coffee as a chaser for my Bloody. I take mine black and strong, to get through the entire day. For my entree, I built my own Omelette with, Spinach, Bacon, Onion and Cheddar Cheese. It was a light golden yellow and was filled with a generous amount of my chosen ingredients. As a side, it came with crispy potato wedges and a small cup of ketchup for dipping. The two paired together, made for an excellent Sunday Brunch. I always sit at the bar, since I usually dine alone and the service was attentive. The bartender was personable and lead the entire bar into a good conversation. I'm glad to be back in STL and I am super glad that my new condo is closer to Polite Society than my last home was. I'm confident I will be once again, be a regular.

Service was impeccable from the moment we stepped in. We were brought some warm bread while we looked at the menu. I ordered the N/A West Wnd Botanical spritz and my partner got a dirty martini.

Both plates were a 10/10. The meats were super tender, fries were perfect, and the mashed potatos were really creamy. At the end, our waitress brought us their chocolate mousse with a candle to celebrate. Truly the best mousse we've ever tried. We were both very impressed with the food and service.
