    Stopped by for a quick bite when I was in the area. Very cute and spacious with outdoor and indoor seatings. I only got the hot chicken wrap to go ( don't remember the name). It was better than I thought. Service was okay.

    One of the few reasonably-priced options in the area that's open on Sunday! Staff is friendly & efficient. Food is fresh and made to order and took just a couple minutes. I appreciate having the calorie content on the easy-to read wall menu. The "flatbreads" on the menu are actually folded in a soft, grilled bread resembling naan or pita. My chipotle flatbread was generously stuffed with chicken, bacon, tomato and tangy sauce. Not much heat at all. Blueberry bliss smoothie is light and fruity. Both were super tasty. There's cozy seating inside and out, but no shade on the metal chairs outdoors (ouch.) Metered street parking, and easy walking distance from the Ritz-Carlton. Room for improvement: 1. there are two single-occupancy bathrooms, marked MEN and WOMEN. There's no need for these to be gendered. 2. no recycling available, and drinks are in foam cups (which I can't recycle at home either).

    On our travels through St Louis, we decided to stop by Tropical Smoothie Cafe that was close to the hotel we were staying in. I walked in to see 3 women working behind the counter. It appeared that they were busy making the online orders; HOWEVER, I stood at the counter for several minutes before anyone spoke to me! 2 of them looked right at me and still didn't speak. They were having a personal conversation while getting the orders ready. I guess this morning while I was getting my dressed I accidentally put on my invisible outfit today. Silly me! Smoothies were good and i can definitely appreciate hard workers trying to get orders out in a timely manner, so that's why they get the 3 stars.

    Tropical Smoothie Cafe is one of my favorite places to grab a quick lunch or dinner -- and honestly, I'm surprised by the reviews. I've had nothing but good experiences with Tropical Smoothie Cafe. As a vegetarian with a severe dairy allergy, I often find myself faced with limited options. Still, the ability to customize every part of my meal is one of the things I love most about this place. My go-to is the Caribbean Jerk wrap without the cheddar cheese and substituting plant-based protein for the chicken with the Sunrise Sunset smoothie - sub-Splenda. I'm not going to pretend this is the healthiest option on the menu, but I'm fighting a brain tumor, and while I've lost my appetite for nearly everything, this is something I still crave consistently.

    Quick smoothie place. Pretty liquidy smoothie but the taste was good. How's the food here?

    The employees seemed very mad and had no customer service skills. They did not say hello or greet anyone and had constant angry expressions.

I came here for the first time, wanting a sandwich and wanting to try a new spot. I was greeted as soon as I entered. Very quaint establishment: I KNOW the name of the place says "grocer", but I was still under the impression that this was a sandwich shop and it's not. Blame my hunger, ok??? It is a grocery store, and a small one at that. I head to the back to the deli and the butcher was super helpful with answering ALL my questions. Learned more about how everything works and more. All sandwiches are pre made and once they sell out, they're gone. There was a turkey sandwich and a roast beef one left. I opted for the turkey sandwich, asked for a side of remoulade sauce that's originally used for the shrimp po boy I believe. I bought a bag of chips to go with it. Total was about $15. The sandwich was delicious. LOADED with turkey and arugula it had a dill spread on it, and it was also sooo good. the remoulade helped give it more flavor and kick. All I needed was some onion slices (tear) I will definitely be back.

    Coming to St. Louis for work, the first day I was in the office my team went out to lunch and…read moretouted Pastaria Deli & Wine. This was so good; we came here the whole week we were in St. Louis for lunch! The office I was working in was on the same block as Pastaria Deli & Wine, so a less than five-minute walk from the office, so no driving or need to hail an Uber was awesome. Inside there are wine bottles all over the walls and it just has this cozy, Italian café/deli vibe. Depending on when you get there, the line to the cash register can snake out the door, but it moves pretty fast. There's a surprising number of tables inside and since the weather was nice, there were several tables out in front. Each day, we had the same cashier, Carly (I believe that's her name). Carly was incredibly bubbly, cute, fun! Once we placed our order, we received a metal tag with a number on it and found a table. I didn't order any sort of specialty drink; I took advantage of the free water located near the back of the restaurant. The time from when we placed our order to getting our lunch was pretty quick, even when the place was packed for lunch. So for the three days I was in St. Louis, I ordered these three sandwiches: 1. Il Capo Italiano: Lemon ricotta, mortadella, soppressata, mozzarella, giardiniera, salted potato chips (Miss Vickie's most likely), arugula, red wine vinegar, & extra virgin olive oil on a 6.5" Union Loafers Hoagie - A jam-packed sandwich! The lemon ricotta was amazing and the crunch from the salted potato chips was excellent. Beware that this sandwich is heavy on the oils, so be prepared to "wear" this sandwich the rest of the day unless you brought your toothbrush. haha This sandwich was plenty thick, the slices of mozzarella really helped to make this sandwich thick and filling. 2. Volpi Heritage Prosciutto: Volpi Heritage prosciutto, butter, lemon olive oil, & house-made giardiniera on a 6.5" Union Loafers Hoagie - The lemon olive oil was a very pleasant flavor, not too strong. Of the three sandwiches I ordered, this was the smallest in terms of fillings but it was still plenty filling for lunch with a bag of Miss Vicky's Spicy Dill Pickle chips! 3. Chicken Bacon Ranch: Thin sliced chicken breast, bacon, smoked cheddar cheese, tomato, arugula, banana peppers, & jalapeno-ricotta ranch on a 6.5" Union Loafers Hoagie - The sliced chicken breast was piled on thick and the bacon was a welcome addition. There was plenty arugula and banana peppers inside but the jalapeno-ricotta ranch elevated this! Creamy with a slight spicy kick to it. I didn't have one bad meal here and for the quality and quantity, I felt the prices were pretty reasonable, especially in the year 2026. Pastaria Deli & Wine is an awesome lunch spot! The friendly staff, cool, authentic Italian-vibes, fast service, and the quality food, it comes together here! I can't wait to come back through St. Louis for work and stop in here again for lunch, maybe I'll even treat myself to some of their gelato!

Since this place is such a staple, we figured we had to give it a try. The place was absolutely packed, which clearly shows it's a local favorite. Even with how busy they were, our pickup order was ready on time -- actually before the scheduled pickup since I arrived about five minutes early. The atmosphere definitely had that classic local sandwich shack vibe and seemed like it would make a great casual lunch spot for almost any occasion. Unfortunately, the food itself just didn't live up to the reputation for us. We ordered the hot salami sandwiches, which they're known for, but they were extremely greasy and the only flavors that really stood out were mustard and grease. We expected a lot more flavor and balance considering it's their specialty item. We also placed a large luncheon order of 10 sandwiches. Everyone was satisfied overall and the food was decent enough, but nothing really stood out or made us excited to come back. We personally prefer Adriana's for both flavor and overall quality. One of the biggest disappointments was that none of the sandwiches had cheese on them, even though we paid an extra $2 per sandwich for the garlic cheese bread upgrade. That was frustrating considering the additional charge. Honestly, I'm guessing we may have just caught them on an off day because it's obvious this spot has a loyal following. We still appreciate supporting local STL businesses and can understand why so many people love it -- it just wasn't quite the experience we were expecting.
