    Breakfast burrito, small cappuccino
    Carol C.

    Great atmosphere, popular and busy spot. Food is outstanding and staff a friendly, courteous and attentive. My breakfast favorite is the burrito with ground beef and spicy creamy green chili sauce you can drizzle on the burrito - Yum yum yum! First class baristas! Coffee drinks are delicious, made with locally roasted La Cosecha coffee beans. And save room for a pastry- current fall temptation is the pumpkin gooey butter pop tart. It's our favorite breakfast go to place. Lunch is also fabulous!

    Sandwich with huge side of greens
    Renee I.

    I had a super delicious sandwich here. I didn't expect much when I ordered a basic turkey sandwich but it was so good. I wasn't going to eat all of it but it was so yummy I kept eating. I got greens on the side and the portion was huge. Very tasty as well. Cute place with a wall mural of flowers. I will say it gets loud in there - they could use some sound absorption panels.

    Biscuits and Gravy
    Lisa H.

    Popped in on a Sunday for a last minute brunch. I've had my eye on this restaurant since they opened and it took me forever to fit it in. All the hype and we were just not too crazy about it. Hubby got the eggs and grits - it was good but just not great. I had the egg sandwich and felt the same way. Nothing spectacular. We also shared a biscuit and gravy. It was extremely salty, so we did not eat much of it. My wish was that they had their strawberry pop-tart (sold out) and that I would have tried the biscuit and jam. If I give it a second try, I might do lunch. We saw a couple sandwiches and salads go by and they looked really good. I will say that the latte is spot on - I would go back again to have another Brown Sugar Latte.

    Holiday pop up!
    Jo Nell R.

    My review this evening is for the Holiday pop up, this is our third year so I think it is now a tradition. We made reservations a little late and chose the time available at 9:00 pm on a Monday evening. I couldn't find the pop-up menu online so I couldn't preview and plan my order ahead of time. There were six of us this visit and both cars found a spot in the back lot, no worries at that time. We were greeted and seated right away, right in the middle of the dining room. Our waiter didn't come over right away, but we all needed to look at the food and drink choices. The decor is fun for the holidays, I loved the vintage santa in the windows and the Christmas tree with all the old-time icicles, nostalgia! For my first drink I chose the Cold Snap, it was delicious! The large ice cube had a candy cane imprinted on it, very impressive. The drink was amaro, scotch, maple, and cedar smoked rosemary, it was very smooth. I ordered marinated olives from the food options, I get them every year. Last years were citrus marinated and I liked them better, there a ton of olives in the order. My second drink was the Santa Suit, also very good but the nod goes to the Cold Snap. We all shared the Hummus Plate - the house made pit is delicious, the Porchetta roll - very good, and the Blue Crab Cakes. Can't wait to go back next year!

    Inside
    Em K.

    The Clover and The Bee is a good brunch spot with a casual setup--you order at the counter, grab a number, and find your own seating. We split a cinnamon roll that was delicious and definitely worth getting. I ordered the roast turkey sandwich with mac salad. The sandwich was very solid, but the mac salad was too spicy for my taste. Overall a nice spot for a relaxed brunch!

    Beef tar tar
    Beth K.

    I usually go there for lunch/brunch but stumbled upon their cocktail/evening menu which is from Wednesday to Saturday. They had a nice happy hour with 1/2 of wine from 5-6 . The wine was tasty and the servers were helpful with choosing wine and picking items from the menu. One things that difffent at night is that patio there is used for O and O and pizza . They did not have that open at nighttime hours. But the inside was still a nice causal fun environment. We got the beef tar tar and it was so good, it felt melt in your mouth with a great taste !

    I was very excited when my friend suggested The Clover & the Bee for a Friday night dinner. I've had it on my list to try, but didn't realize they even served dinner. I couldn't find anything online with a menu. When we arrived, it actually wasn't dinner, but a menu of small plates. I love spending money on good food and will pay a premium for a memorable meal, but man, this wasn't it. TLDR: High prices for tiny portions to be left beyond underwhelmed and disappointed. I ordered a chorizo butter oyster to start. I love chorizo and oysters separately, but this was repulsive. I was most looking forward to the spot prawns, and felt misled when it hit the table. Spot prawns are supposed to be large, succulent shrimp. What arrived (for I believe, $16 or $18) were tiny, rubbery and overcooked, pieces of shrimp. Maybe it was a cut up single spot prawn, but this was beyond frustrating for the price paid. Next, I ordered the pasta (don't have the menu online to reference for how it was described). For again, $16 or $18, I received a single ravioli, that while beautiful, was flavorless and lackluster with not enough filling and under al dente pasta. Most of it was the flat, unfilled chewy noodle. The only positives about the experience was the atmosphere and my espresso martini.

    Avocado toast, hash brown, and an iced latte.

    We always love our time at Clover and the Bee! It's always incredibly clean, has great service, and the food is delicious. This was my first time for breakfast and I definitely recommend for all times of the day!

    Cheesesteak
    Michelle L.

    I've been wanting to try the cheesesteak at The Clover & the Bee for a while! I made it in on NYE and they were packed. I got the last table right by the door. The host sat me down with a menu and ice water but didn't mention you order at the counter. Eventually I figured it out. I ordered the Cheesesteak with the Cooper's Sharp cheese and pasta salad on the side. I asked if the pasta salad was a vinaigrette and the cashier said yes. This is the best cheesesteak I've ever had in St. Louis! Loved the bread, loved the ribeye, loved the cheese, peppers, etc. It was great. I'd order it again and again. I thought the pasta salad was awful. Also it was dressed in broken mayonnaise not a vinaigrette. I'll be back for the cheesesteak.

    Breakfast sandwich
    John K.

    You order at the counter then they bring your order to you. I ordered a chai latte and a breakfast sandwich. The chai latte was flavorful and tasty. The breakfast sandwich had egg, cheese and avocado. It was hard to eat it like a sandwich so I deconstructed it with a knife and fork. I enjoyed the fresh avocado. The egg tasted frozen that was reheated. This is a cute breakfast place that has a fun vibe.

    Tinsel Pom-poms & Santa Sleigh
    Christina H.

    We really enjoyed the Holiday Popup! The cocktails were great! I had the Tinsel Pom-poms and my husband had the Santa Sleigh. The food was also really yummy. We had the Baked Brie, Brussel sprouts, wagyu burger & porchetta roll. It was all excellent! The Clover & Bee has been decorated for Christmas & the wait staff was dressed very festive. There is some parking in a small lot behind & street parking

    Breakfast Burrito, Biscuit and Jam, Green Goddess Salad
    Money F.

    Popped in on a Sunday morning which was risky because of brunch hours. We were able to be seated at a high top table within seconds! The place was packed so if you have a party larger than 3, I suggest preparing to wait. We tried the breakfast burrito with beef and added avocado and honestly, I could do without the meat. it didn't add any flavor but the avocado was perfect. The biscuit is salty with a nice crunch but soft on the inside. The jam really pairs well. The green goddess salad was delicious!! Who knew blueberries would tie a salad together? Chefs Kiss! The banana pudding latte was well presented but the flavor was a bit bitter. There was some sort of purée in there bottom of the cup to give the pudding flavor but it wasn't enough for me. The airy, floral ambiance makes Clover and the Bee so cute and relaxing.

    Sweet potato salad
    Bella S.

    Great spot for a cozy study day. The service is super friendly, and both the food and coffee hit the spot. The interior is adorable--perfect for hunkering down with your laptop or catching up with friends. Bonus points if you stick around long enough to see it transform into a wine bar.

I personally prefer my drinks on the sweeter side, so I would have loved a little more syrup in both of the drinks we tried today, but they were still really good! The service was quick, and I loved the patio area. My only other suggestion would be to have a few more indoor seating options for smaller groups. The few 2-person tables were full, so we ultimately ended up sitting at a 6-top even though there were only two of us. Overall, such a cute little find and definitely somewhere I'd come back too

    This might be the best coffee shop in the area, except that they don't have any food, that I'm…read moreaware of, other than a small selection of baked goods. But why would you want to eat food from a coffee shop? I've been visiting coffee shops on the reg for the past several weeks, and I've repeatedly made the mistake of ordering breakfast sandwiches, burritos and what have you. I have no one to blame for this but myself. I knew going in that it wasn't a good idea. I just couldn't help myself. This must be how people end up on drugs. There was a race going on nearby, when I visited 23 West yesterday. I wasn't involved, though I was there in a running capacity. My running group just happened to be meeting there. We ran a few miles in the neighborhood before our visit. By the time we got there, there was quite a crowd. The contrast between the sweaty, disheveled runners and the sleek, modern decor was striking. This place has an interior like some showroom where you're pressured into taking out a high-interest loan to purchase jewelry of questionable provenance. Are they in cahoots with the bank next door? Both buildings, I notice, have a similar facade. 23 West is painted the same shade of gray as a post-McPlayPlace-era McDonald's, when they started trying to look like a Chipotle. Some girls on apps prefer it if you didn't take them to get coffee. It's not expensive enough. If you can get one to agree to such a date, you might consider bringing them here. It's classy. The coffee is good too. I went with the Raspberry Cheesecake Cold Brew, a seasonal item. It was magnificent. I ordered mine to-go, so I could enjoy it at the tables out front, and in case 12 showed up. They give it to you in a tall plastic cup with no lid, filled to the point where it's nearly impossible to carry without spilling, presumably so you can sample the delicious cheesecake-like froth and probably get a little bit of it in your mustache. You can't really sip it with a straw. The coffee itself is surprisingly robust, given the depth of the raspberry flavor. It's an odd idea for a drink, and not something I'd usually order, but the execution was on point. I also went with a Cherry Almond Scone. I had to eat something, for emotional reasons, and it looked interesting. I'm no expert on scones, but I enjoyed it. It may have been the most dense baked good I've ever eaten, to the point where it could probably be used as a weapon, in a pinch. I know it's supposed to be similar to a biscuit and that in England, where they're consumed on the reg, a biscuit is known as a cookie (why?). It's a lot dryer than even the biscuits at a Lee's Famous Recipe, but intentionally so, I guess because it's designed to be eaten with a beverage. A hot beverage is probably ideal, but I made it work with a cold brew. It's the kind of thing you don't realize until after the fact. Next time I'll know. If and when I do return, I'll be dressed as a magician, possibly with a young lady in tow.

It allows people to gather eat a sweet treat and have general conversation conversations where you can actually hear one another. They do have outside seating too. The chocolate cake was soft and as a non-cake lover I found this very delicious. Definitely worthy of sharing. I ordered a quiche to go. I had mentioned they didn't have the spinach feta pastry that I had before. The gentleman stated we have some in the back, I'm happy to get you one. So I ordered that too. And although this was only our second time coming, the fact that they'll make a fresh pot of coffee in my opinion is key to a great café. I will keep this in my rotation of places to go.

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!

Today, I literally had to leave because when I walked in, there was no one behind the counter, I stood there for a few minutes until someone finally came out out of the back section, and then I assume, went behind the counter to tell the worker that I was waiting. When the worker came out, she had a bunch of cookies in her hands that she then had to proceed to fold and put into a bag and then she started making the coffee of two people that were sitting at the counter while I was still just standing there. She did acknowledge me, which I appreciate, but at that point, I have been standing there for at least five minutes and I still hadn't ordered my coffee. I told her that I had to leave because I had to get to work and went to Starbucks instead, which I really didn't want to do. But this has been a pattern with this place- either they're not hiring enough staff, the staff that they have is overwhelmed or something is going on. I've been coming here for almost a year- and I definitely would prefer to patronize a local Shop, but not if it's gonna take five minutes to even just get my order taken when I am literally the only person in line. Also, I wanna add, I literally used to come here three times a week. This is not a new experience, but this one has really taken it over the top. Like I said, I want to support a local coffee shop, and I want to like this place, but particularly in the morning when people are on their way to work, this type of delay is totally unacceptable. I'm not blaming the worker, I'm blaming whoever's doing the scheduling.

I'd attend such a meeting, but more so for the lulz (but also to share my beliefs). I'm pleased to report that there's none of that going on here, that I'm aware of. Granted, this was a Sunday morning. I was there with my running group as part of our ongoing unofficial breakfast burrito tour, the last such stop until this fall, due to upcoming marathon training. Of course it was the most unpleasant day of the year, maybe ever, with a heat index of 117 (no hyperbole). I changed shirts before I came in and then sweated through that shirt as well. One of the ladies I was with left a gross pool of sweat in her chair after she left. It didn't occur to me to pull a Charlamagne tha God until hours later. I'm growing as a human being. Part of that growth is gradually coming to realize that seasonal lattes, unless they have sort of especially distinct flavor, like banana, aren't going to taste like anything other generic artificial sweetener, let alone what they purport to be. I considered ordering an iced caramel latte, but I figured what the heck. I went with something called a Miso Brown Sugar Latte. It was good for what it was, but I don't know that anyone, if you gave it to them to try, could identify it as that. I liked the fact that it had a somewhat more pronounced coffee flavor, compared to some places where it mostly just tastes like a glass of milk. I wasn't as crazy about the fact that it took a while for the ice cubes to cool it down, probably longer than it would have taken if it were served in a glass cup. I went with something called the Annex Burrito, which I didn't realize until after I ordered it is not the only burrito they carry. I guess you can also get a bog-standard breakfast burrito with bacon, eggs and cheese. This one comes with corn, beans and some sort of unidentified crema for the same amount. Maybe they give you less bacon. Mine didn't have a lot of bacon, but the bacon it did have was not crisp and had a precooked vibe. The latter was more of an issue for me than the former. I'm a savage in that way. I did appreciate the fact that it was griddled, possibly using a panini press. The exterior was ever so slightly crisp, while the interior was pizza roll-level molten. The overall vibe was similar to those microwave burritos they used to carry at 7-11, but in a good way. All I needed was a mini truck enthusiast magazine filled with photos of bikini-clad Latinas and a Windex-blue Slurpee, but I was able to make do with a lukewarm mystery latte and the old ladies I run with. I'm resourceful.

    Went here with my beloved Gracie so I'm sure the company influenced me…read more That being said stunning campfire latte served in a bowl like mug aside a simply perfect bacon, egg and cheese biscuit on a perfect temp patio under an umbrella with two friendly doodles to pet. Street parking was fairly fully on a Friday morning but walking a block was pleasant. Service wasn't super fast despite not being busy so probs not the move in a rush.

    Having a weirdly large cinnamon roll on the patio outside Kentzo Koffee, it occurred to me that it…read morewould be lovely to live nearby. I'd eat there on the reg. I'd be grossly overweight. Eventually, I'd run out of money and be forced to live out of doors, perhaps in a tent in the park across the street. It would almost be worth it. Kentzo Koffee is not without its flaws, but it's a good place to have a coffee ("koffee") and a light breakfast. It's not clear to me how long it's been around, but it's possible they have a few issues that just need ironing out. A guy from my running group who lives nearby was running down the litany of businesses that have been in this space. Is this location cursed? Was a Native American killed there? This is no fault of Kentzo, but there was some confusion as to whether the breakfast bowl comes with eggs. I could have sworn that it doesn't and that the menu made this clear, but a few members of my group, who are girls with whom I'm not inclined to outwardly disagree, insisted that it does. It seems like it should anyway, right? What's a breakfast bowl without eggs? You could just as easily have such a bowl for lunch. That's unacceptable. This place had umpteen baristas, including one dressed like she was working for tips in a place frequented by bikers (she looked amazing), but they were barely keeping up with orders. This was fine with me. I didn't have anywhere to be, and my drink--an iced vanilla latte, natch--was good when it finally came out. But this is not the kind of place to stop and grab a quick drink on your way to work. There was only one guy making food, as far as I can tell, and he was on it. He made my Breakfast Bowl w/ Bacon and brought it out before I got my drink. He warned me that the bowl was hot, but he was holding it with his bare hand. He must think that I'm actually *from* Maplewood. I had to have the girl who handed me my drink fetch my cinnamon roll. Were they supposed to hand it to me when I ordered? Were they hoping I'd just forget? The cinnamon roll was cold, like maybe it sat in a refrigerator overnight. It occurred to me that it almost certainly wasn't made that day, but it didn't seem particularly stale or prepackaged. It cost more than I paid for most meals in the pre-Brandon era, and it occurred to me that they could just give you a bit less, not charge as much, and I'd be fine with that. Did I devour the whole thing in a few bites anyway, like I just got out of jail? Yes. Yes, I did.

    Ok, we know "what's in your wallet?"…read more These little cafes are too cool! They are definitely a must when you're traveling. You can get some coffee with deep cut discounts because you carry a Capital One card. You have to pay for your coffee purchase with that card. Now if you're not a member make sure and sign up? These cafes are for all people's! They offer great little nooks to get away and get some coffee and air. On our journey we stopped in just to see and have some coffee. Fabulous service! The coffee the best! They offer seasonal drinks too ! It's a quaint place and blend . Credit cards and coffee shops, we are odd! They offer free offers in store and other various options for planting trees for your garden and community. We will see how they grow when we get to our new home . Thank you for the best coffee here today and kindness! We know that's which is our wallet.

    Did not realize there was a Capital One cafe inside West County Mall, granted this is not somewhere…read moreI frequent but it was good to know that it was here. Concept is interesting - part cafe, part bank, part workspace, part bank. The space is modern and clean, and set up perfectly if you want to sit and get work done. Lots of seating and outlets with free wifi. I didn't get to try the coffee and got the matcha instead which was pretty refreshing. The menu also included light food options like sandwiches and pastries which are convenient if you want something quick. Another big perk is you get 50% off drinks if you have a Capital One or Discover card which makes it a much better value and a reason to come back.
