    Tuna salad croissant sandwich
    Katherine B.

    Call me a super fan! I'm here all the time and it's so lovely to have a coffee house in Carondelet, as there's nothing but the Starbucks and I'm not a fan of them. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Speakeasy ticks all the boxes - al fresco space, chill vibes, history (it used to be a Speakeasy), good coffee.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Now there's ice cream! They have a delicious chili, protein shakes, pastries and now that I've tried, I can say the tuna salad is sooo good. You wouldn't think a coffee house's food would be this good but it is.

    Stopped in speakeasy on a quiet sunday morning. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The space was quite unique. It's a repurposed house. So, the counter to order is basically a kitchen counter. They have a dishwasher back there and everything. I thought that was pretty cool.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The worker was super kind. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior is super eclectic. Tons on vintage statement pieces adorn the interior. Pops of color, various shapes, and even a few odes to st. Louis.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They had a solid offering of pastries as well. I just grabbed coffee this go round. It was fine. The coffee itself tasted a bit burnt so it wasn't my favorite latte ever. [[HIGHLIGHT]]All in all, a really unique spot with some solid photo opportunities.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place was a really cool hole in the hall, it had lots of seating downstairs and a cool speak easy in the basement[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] . [[HIGHLIGHT]]They also had outside seating, which is a patio that is dog friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The server in the front was so kind and very knowledgeable. We had a breakfast sandwhich and biscuit and gravy! The sandwhich was so tasty !

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very neat place![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Homey and friendly upstairs, with a lavish downstairs and a closet door transporting you to narnia/another seating section.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Got the breakfast sandwich - a croissant with a three cheese omelette and turkey sausage with cream cheese and honey, and biscuits and gravy to split. Both delicious!

    If you haven't been to Speakeasy Cafe, there are so many reasons you should go. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The decor and the vibe are so fun![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Because I went in on a rather quiet Monday morning, I may have gotten a little carried away with picture-taking, but there is so much to see, much more than in the pictures I took.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]When I mentioned I hadn't been before, I was taken on a tour and was told some of the history of the building as an actual speakeasy, and the owners definitely recreated that vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There are so many cozy spots to sit and enjoy an espresso or coffee drink, a protein smoothie, breakfast, lunch, or even just a bakery item or ice cream.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There is something for everyone to enjoy. I loved it here and can't wait to go back.

    Chicken Salad, with requested Spring Mix, on the side. A-MAZING! Even the pickle was .

    One of my new favorite spots! [[HIGHLIGHT]]From the history, the warm hospitality, the charming decor and atmosphere, the quality and freshness of the food, A-MAZING![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]You get a true sense of COMMUNITY, we look out for each other![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Gotta love it!!!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]A true Speakeasy and a beautiful marriage of vibes, energies and auras![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Thanks again for your hospitality Ms. Aleshia!

    Super cute cafe in a historic building with period appropriate decor. I had the vanilla latte and the banana nut muffin here recently, both of which were tasty. The barista was very accommodating and friendly. Super cool atmosphere, quiet, comfy. Loved the decor. Prices were appropriate for a coffee shop, I didn't have any sticker shock, and I tend to be a cheapskate. I'd definitely come back again and try a different yummy breakfast snack.

    Great new coffee shop. Friendly owner, neat concept, great prices. I didn't get any food since I was heading to breakfast after, but the case of baked goods was very tempting The menu is fairly standard as far as coffee shops go - I just had a latte. But the place just exudes character. There's a few tables on the main level, but the basement has quite a bit more seating and roaring twenties era decorations. If you like new local coffee shops, this is definitely worth a stop in.

    I drive by this area quite often and was excited to see a new coffee shop! This part of South City is served exclusively by a Starbucks in Loughborough Commons. Today I decided to walk in Carondelet Park and end my walk with a coffee and snack at the neighborhood's new cafe. They have several tables on the sidewalk outside for nice weather days. Inside, they have the main floor with 2 4-top tables + 1 couch and 2 arm chairs. It is super cozy and friendly. There is additional seating downstairs, but I did not check that out on this trip. Their menu is pretty standard coffee shop. I was able to bring my mug inside to have my latte. They also made a kids steamer for my toddlers. No dairy milks are oat and almond. They have a pastry case filled with delicious looking items. I did not try any this time, but hope to on a future visit. So glad to have a local coffee shop back in the neighborhood again! I will be back.
