I could've sworn I left a review the first time I went here but the second time was actually better…read morethan the first anyway! I ordered a matcha latte and strawberry croissant. 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. There's so much variety if you're feeling sweet or savory. I do want to try some of their cake sometime. Maybe next time!

Met up with a friend for coffee and a snack. It was around lunchtime, so I grabbed a CROQUE…read moreMONSIEUR - it is similar to a grilled ham and cheese, but better. It may be the Cloud Cream that does the trick. When you walk in the door, it can be a little over whelming. I wanted one of everything, which just means I will be going back for more. To start the process, grab a tray, put a sheet of parchment paper on it, and grab some tongs. Then the hard part of deciding what you want! Currently they are featuring pistachio as the spot light ingredient. I was excited about catching it. With my lunch choice, I also grabbed a pistachio donut - it was filled FULL of cream. The filling reminded me of the pistachio cream I brought home from Baker Street Food Station in London. YUM! With my lunch, I had a honey lavender latte. They have a coffee bar with hot and cold options to choose from. Grabbed a couple of Soft Bread options - strawberry and pistachio chocolate to have at home for a snack later. Two options in St. Louis: one on Manchester Road and one in Delmar Loop. Stop in and check them out. Great place for a work meeting, interview, meet-up with friends, date, or a family outing. One neg was I looked at their menu online and picked out a latte: masala chai latte. But when I arrived at the store and tried to order it wasn't available. Maybe the Delmar location has it.

I had an oatmilk latte, which was very good. I also had a blueberry muffin, of which they get delivered by a local bakery. Normally when blueberry muffins have lemon flavor it is extremely out of balanced. The lemon did not over power the blueberries. Their staff are nice and inviting. They currently do not have an app or website to have your beverages made ahead of time but they mentioned it is something they are looking into. TLDR: Worth going to. Parking might be interesting. Be warned there is a risk of a wait for their busy morning crowd.

They are nestled between 2 restaurants so I'm sure they have their busy/non busy times. We will stop by again!
