They recently have reworked the inside some and have a new candy station that is full of all kinds of seasonal goodies. When I worked down the street, I would often come for their cold brew coffee, fir an afternoon pick me up. They also serve some pretty amazing breakfast and lunch sandwiches on New York bagels. Weekend hours are longer over the summer and early fall staying open until 10pm but as they hit October the hours shift to close by 9 o'clock on the weekends. They have cute ice cream cone seating tables as well as an old time soda bar. Definitely our families go-to ice cream splurge. I love that it's on Main Street with all the cute boutiques, shopping and local events.

Corner Cup has been mine and my husband's favorite spot to grab an iced latte since moving to…read moreFestus. Even when we stop by other coffee shops in STL or Saint Charles, Corner Cup is still our favorite. My go-to is an iced pistachio latte with honey drizzle (the first time I came here they had a seasonal Baklava Latte and it was sooo good) and my husband gets an iced hazelnut latte. I've also tried their iced chai and it is delicious--not too sweet and just the right amount of spices. My favorite, savory baked food is their spinach and feta danish. I highly recommend getting one with your coffee for a light breakfast. The baristas are so kind and welcoming, and they always remember my name because I go there so much haha. The shop itself is very cute, and their furniture is quaint and unique, and they always have fun, coffee-related knick-knacks for sale. Must-try spot in Festus! Also, you can order large, to-go drinks which I did on a Saturday because they're closed Sunday and Monday.

Hundreds of Hops US Hop Passport Amazing Brewery Race Stop 30 (1 of 18 for Missouri)…read more Having scoped out the menu a bit first, to make sure we wouldn't starve, we popped into our first Missouri Brewery in the big book. We loved the building and dining/ bar area. It had lovely character and begged to tell a story. The hubby got an IPA, not my type so no rating from me. I opted for the blood orange and found it to be a solid choice. It was refreshing, effervescent and had no artificial/chemical taste or aftertaste. The service was really good - no complaints there. While we usually pick an app and a meal to share, I was itching for the dark meat fried chicken. Since it's all you can eat, (or should be), there's no sharing. The hubby got a burger with maple syrup for himself. The chicken was delish & piping hot! The broccoli was tasty but not to temp. The mashed potatoes and gravy would fall under almost inedible - old, cold. But I was there for the chicken & the chicken was on point. Sadly, directly after my plate was dropped off, the table behind us was told they were out of chicken. Now, all you can eat Sunday fried chicken being sold out at 540p is a bit odd. I assumed they did a stop sell because they were running low. I found out a short time later that they were truly out of dark meat... as they offered me a wing. Thankfully, I can't eat more than what it came with (3pc). The hubby was disappointed that the maple syrup wasn't maple, rather maple flavored. Otherwise, he was happy with his food. He also ate my final piece of chicken though & agreed it was the winner... Winner Winner (all you can eat) Chicken Dinner! *only on Sundays, if timed correctly ; ) I'd say 3.5 stars overall, but bumping up to 4 because the beer easily hit the mark & it's what we were there for... plus, that chicken. Ha

We had kids, tired parents, and a decent-sized group -- and they handled it effortlessly. Friendly, attentive, and quick without ever making us feel rushed. That balance isn't easy. The food was killer. The brisket mac and cheese was loaded and flavorful, with perfectly cooked pasta and tender meat. The smash burger was another standout -- great crust on the patty, juicy inside, and stacked just right. Even the pretzel bites were a hit with the kids (and let's be honest, the adults too). And the blood orange beer? Fantastic. Crisp, refreshing, and just enough citrus to make it interesting without being overpowering. It was the perfect post-game drink. Great atmosphere, great service, and legitimately good food. If you're anywhere near Main & Mill -- especially with a team or a group -- it's a win. We'll absolutely be back.

The donuts are good with various concoctions like a maple bacon variety, though it pales in comparison to the wall of donuts I grew up with as a kid at places like Dunkin' donuts.

A handful of donut holes are often also tossed into the box, which as a dad of 5 kids, we do appreciate. The donuts are good but not necessarily anything particularly special and are priced on the high end .
