It's fun, quirky, and filled with delicious goodies -- a great place to get coffee and tea, with the added bonus of sweet treats! I love the rotation of seasonal drinks, and the baked goods are a small but mighty selection of scones, muffins, cookies, brioche cinnamon rolls (my favorite!), and other yummy baked deliciousness! Staff are friendly and helpful in offering options -- for example, I needed some dairy free milk choices. The barista also offered great recommendations with the seasonal drinks. Pricing is really reasonable... which allows you to indulge in some additional baked goods or one of their fun merchandise items like homemade dog treats, t-shirts, mugs, etc. I also like that they have a small shelf of books, records, and games if you want a little BFF time - with your bestie or for just yourself! I enjoy stopping in for refreshments and a little break from shopping on Lindbergh, or getting something to go to enjoy at home. The vibe is relaxed, and easy-going, and marching to the beat of its own drum. You gotta love places like this! There is plenty of parking, and the lot is easy to get in and out of. Just watch your step at the doorway entry/exit. It's got a slight incline - so watch your step. Seating is limited, but it seems to work, because there is a steady "to go" crowd that doesn't take up the tables. I love this cool spot in South County! It's local, and I love that over bigger, more expensive alternatives. I've been thinking a lot about those cinnamon rolls. So, I need another visit!

I arrived early at around 8:15. This is a relatively small establishment with a small parking lot. It looks like they have a trailer available for mobile coffee service too. They were fairly busy and it seemed like only one person was working. This made the wait a bit longer than I expected, but the employee was working very hard and making good time considering she was alone. I enjoyed listening to the alternative music and hanging out in the store. It was clean and comfortable. I ordered one of their March specials, the Peanut Butter Guts, as I love coffee and peanut butter together. I also ordered a cookie from Cookie Hustle (which I think is like a sister business housed under the same roof) -- a pumpkin snickerdoodle. Sounded so good! I enjoyed my coffee drink. It definitely had a detectable and enjoyable peanut butter flavor, as well as the mocha. I think it was a tiny bit heavy on milk for my preference, but overall it was tasty. I ate the cookie later and it was absolutely delicious. Perfect chewy snickerdoodle texture and lots of yummy spices. I wish I'd gotten several different cookies to try more! When I showed up at breakfast with my coffee, my family remarked on how much they like this little shop and keep coffee from here at their house for special occasions. High praise! If you're in the area, give them some love! :)

They really do fun flavors extraordinarily well, and the place is very calming and relaxing inside. They keep it cool, which makes lingering a delight. I haven't tried the other wonderful things like the pastries and wraps but the coffees are top notch and if you are in the area, make this your next stop! Really easy to find, extremely nice staff, and ample parking, too! I'm very curious to see what concoctions they come up with next! This coffee shop makes High Ridge proud!

I decided to try the iced cobbler latte after seeing it on TikTok, and it definitely lived up to the hype. It was delicious and not overly sweet, which I really appreciated. You could really taste the freshness of the berry filling, which made it even better. I ordered a small (I believe it was 12 oz), and it was honestly the perfect size. The service was fairly quick, and the overall vibe made it a really enjoyable stop. I didn't order any food this time, but their menu looked huge with tons of options to choose from. I highly recommend checking this place out if you're looking for a new coffee shop to try!

I had an oatmilk latte, which was very good. I also had a blueberry muffin, of which they get delivered by a local bakery.

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.

A Cautionary Tale (a real one, not a tall tale): First, I…read morecan't say that I'm writing a super fair review, because I haven't ever been into this donut shop. But my mom bought us some donuts from Olde Towne Donuts. I had a bite of a chocolate cake donut and it tasted fine. However, after eating a chocolate Long John, my 15 year old son informed me that he needed his rescue inhaler and some Benadryl pills, because he was having an allergic reaction. We didn't eat anything unusual for dinner. And the donut was the only other thing he ate. When I called the shop to ask if they use any kind of soy protein or pea protein in the ingredients- sure enough, they do. Before calling, I had searched on their facebook page a little to find out it if they had some special feature to their donuts- like "healthier" because of added protein, but I didn't see any mention of ingredients. When I called to ask, the girl who I initially asked wasn't sure what kind of ingredients they used, so I guess a head baker or owner got on the phone and confirmed that they used soy protein in their donuts. I'm not mad- thankfully my son was pretty quick to recognize it and was home where we were able to give him what he needed right away. Still, I caution not only customers with allergies or sensitivities, but I also have a strong word of advice to the owners: if you don't already have notices of this added protein ingredient posted in the store clearly as a warning, as well as on your website/ social media pages, I urge you to do so. It could seriously be a matter of life or death. My son has what people typically refer to as a "peanut allergy"; people who truly have that allergy are not allergic to nuts (I suppose someone could also have a nut allergy on top of it), but they are allergic to much more than just peanuts; it is a legume allergy. Legumes are plant foods formed inside pods, like beans, peas, and pea"nuts". Nowadays, there are so many unexpected foods that can cause an anaphylactic reaction for people with a legume allergy, because so many processed foods have protein as a filler (like highly processed frozen chicken nuggets). And now manufacturers are proud to boast their food item has "added protein". It is the legume protein that causes the severe allergic reaction, known as anaphylaxis. Which can often occur immediately upon ingesting the allergen and the life threatening symptoms can progress in just a matter of minutes. Thankfully, my son's reaction is not immediate- he usually has at least 30min before it becomes serious requiring immediate intervention, and lately he's been able to curb it by taking Benadryl, but he has had many ER visits and epinephrine as a young child. I have often been warned and urged by nurses and doctors not to take the risk of waiting, but to use the EpiPen injector and call 911 as soon as it is realized that ingested an allergen- even before symptoms- or as soon as he has symptoms -even if he's not sure he ingested an allergen. My point in sharing all of this is to emphasize the importance and seriousness of the matter. Please make it known to your customers in some obvious way (and certainly such that your employees would know) that your delicious donuts are made with soy protein (or pea protein or chickpea protein, or lentil protein- believe me, those are all used as added plant proteins.) Reading labels is second nature to our family, but it's so hard when something fresh made incorporates the allergen into their food that would not typically have added proteins. We love donuts and have eaten them from so many different donut shops and houses of donuts all over the country, but never encountered a hidden allergen in the dough. Let the people know, please!

Were back baby!…read more Happy to be updating my review with a solid 5 stars! I live close to Wally's so I do come here pretty often. Since my last review in 2023 I've been here no less than 50 times since then (figuring on at least 2 per month) and at least get some sort of hot food snack each time. For starters, there have been some changes with the pizza. My favorite now is simply the cheese. I know it seems plain, but its flavor is really really good, and it considerably less greasy then the pepperoni. This is especially important when trying to eat a slice in the car. My second fav is the 3 meat which offers a better balance of flavors than the overloaded pepperoni. As much as I love pepperoni, Wally's just puts too many on IMO. However, NONE of these can beat the Garlic cheese bread pizza which they only do once a month. Its truly phenomenal. There have been some updates to the other food offerings as well. Since my last review they have added hot Pretzels, Chicken tenders, smash burgers, and "soft" tacos to the menu. I can confidently state that the Tacos are my fav of the new items. The burger has potential but like most other things you have to get them when they are fresh. A burger that has been sitting in foil in a warmer for the last 2 hours just isn't going to be as good as a "fresh" one. The Tacos on the other hand seem to hold up better, and I actually could argue that they get BETTER if they have been on the warmer for a bit. They are more uniformly heated and the raw onions are softer because of it. I've had them both freshly prepared, and from the hot case and the hot case was actually better. The pretzels are good, but nothing to get too excited about and the tenders are pretty plain (pre-frozen and deep fried) as well. I actually have the habit of dipping them in the nacho cheese and it makes a world of difference. The breakfast tacos are still my absolute favorite go-to quick breakfast and the Smores and chocolate chunk cookies always tickle the sweet tooth perfectly.
