This is my second time visiting this neighborhood coffee shop in a residential area of Tower Grove…read moresouth. It is LGBT friendly and affirming. It's definitely a safe place. There is a one person unisex bathroom. They have an entrance with a few steps or a full ramp to enter. It is street parking only and I've always been able to get a close parking spot as many residents in the neighborhood walk there. There are scattered tables throughout the restaurant. There are plants in the front window, local artists artwork on the wall for sale and a glass case full of goodies. You order at the counter and they bring your order to the table when it's ready. On this visit, I ordered a breakfast bowl that had potatoes, eggs, cheese, spinach and tomatoes, with a side of toast. I also ordered a black pepper & rosemary scone, and a cold brew coffee. Everything was absolutely delicious. Besides this establishment having a wonderful and welcoming vibe, the staff is top-tier. They were so incredibly kind, friendly and patient. Absolutely love them!

As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by the baristas. I received a compliment on the shirt I was wearing and then we placed our order. He immediately asked if Kylie would like a pup cup which she happily accepted. The layout of the space reminds me of an online library - rows of books, couches, board games, etc. they even had a kids library area which was so cute! Their menu offers more than just coffee too, which was awesome! They also have specialty lattes available. Kylie made herself at home and got tons of attention from all the sweet customers. Can't wait to go back!

Dine in, enjoy the patio or grab a nosh and bottle of wine to take to the park. They're open 7am until 6pm, 7 days a week! You can't go wrong here.

An amazing spot for coffee, and these pressed sandwiches are so incredible. The clark griswald is turkey with the greatest apple jam surrendering a melody of sweetness and acidity.

Croutons are especially standout, chewy and delicious. But note the menu is limited so don't expect food other than pastries and salad. The foot traffic inside is managed through seating customers as they order which does make the setting less chaotic. Nice atmosphere and decor, I will be back!

I took a chance today and was brave (drama warning...)…read more When I arrived here this morning, I asked the person taking my order to make suggestions and just went with what they recommended. Luckily, the suggestions were divine, and my trust is still intact ‍ They did ask me what I prefer coffee-wise, and I ended up going with my usual at any café (a vanilla latte). The barista recommended their house-made vanilla syrup and suggested coconut milk with it, so I decided to trust the process. I'm gonna be honest, y'all......I thought I didn't like coconut, but my god. This latte was DELICIOUS! 10/10 I also got a cheese and chive croissant, which was yummy, but I'm definitely going to try some other things here too. I do wish it had been warmed up. The place is clean and inviting. There are a lot of tables to sit at, but there's a 90-minute limit, so I assume they get busy. Can't wait to be back soon

I always come through the shoppe side, see what new food stuffs and nibbles they have here; they even have gluten free pastas and sauces available; in addition to their wide assortment of meats, cheeses, sauces, wines, liquors, drinks, cigars and the list goes on. Being an iced coffee fan I can drink theirs without any added sugar, it's that smooth! I picked up a hunk of the carrot cake they had there for my mom and dad as a treat and they almost fought over the last bite! The entire neighborhood around this place is coming up-- you have to stop by here at least once. You won't regret it.

They carry different house made cold items if the Baba ghanoush is available, I recommend it. Always friendly staff can and do answer questions you might have, overall, a great little spot.

The staff is always friendly and helpful, the food comes out quickly, and the shaded patio is a great place to sit and enjoy your meal. The espresso shake was absolutely delicious, but the Lou Melt was the standout of my visit. The bread had the perfect crunch on the outside while staying soft on the inside, and unlike many steak burgers , it wasn't greasy at all. The French Dip was just okay. It could have used a bit more flavor, and I wish there had been more meat on the sandwich. The bread, however, was fresh, airy, and incredibly soft, which helped make it enjoyable. The Caesar salad was another highlight. The kale was massaged just enough to make it tender while still keeping a nice crunch, and every bite left me wanting more. The Greek salad wasn't quite as memorable. The dressing tasted mostly like oil with only a slight hint of vinegar, so it felt like it was missing the bold, tangy flavors I was expecting. I also ordered an iced vanilla latte, which was excellent. It was smooth, not overly sweet, and didn't have the bitter taste that some coffee drinks can have. Overall, Mokabe's offers a warm, inviting atmosphere, consistently friendly service, and a menu with several standout items. While a couple of dishes could use a little more seasoning, I'd happily come back for the Lou Melt, Caesar salad, coffee, and the overall experience.
