Songbird makes great use of its space and should be near the top of your STL brunch list. A reasonably-sized (not-overwhelming) menu, great coffee, delicious cocktails, quick, attentive service, and undeniably delicous food. I took off on a redeye this morning (coffee courtesy of Blueprint), and landed on the Farm Sampler: two scrambled eggs, applewood smoked bacon, sourdough toast, sliced avocado and sauteed shiitake mushrooms. Phenomenal flavors and textures. Toast is typically an afterthought for me, but the buttery crunch of the sourdough has to be spotlighted. The Bee's Knees cocktail was also a wonderfully refreshing prelude to the approaching STL summer. The time has come, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say: wake up, reserve, enjoy.

*Not accessible *Not kid friendly…read more This location has a lot of improvements to be made. The menu is bland and they deter you from making modifications. I wanted my toast's jam to be on the side and they said no. It was a thick tasteless brick without the jam. The items are not as traditional for a breakfast spot, and when I asked the server what they were known for she said the drinks.... They also run a tight turnaround time so they will make you feel uncomfortable when its time to clear your table and pay the bill because they will tell you the next reservation is in 5minutes. The plates were all different and my guest who got a sandwich had her food come out in a plastic fry basket instead of the nicer plates. Odd. As I mentioned earlier, they are not kid friendly as they don't have a kids menu or kid friendly items like fruit and pancakes. We ordered a side of avocado and chicken sausage as those were the safest for us. Also there are no changing tables in the restrooms. Accessibility note: the entrance is a giant multi-slope and 1 turn ramp into a cramped lobby. The men's restroom is the only one on the main floor and female restroom is tucked far in the backroom inaccessible due to a steep step in the back. It is not wheelchair or walker friendly.

They seated us at a long table with people at the other end, but we still had ample space. To started our meal, we ordered a hot chocolate and coffee, along with some of the delicious doughnuts. Those doughnuts were scrumptious, and I even made sure to save one chocolate for after my breakfast. For my main course, I opted for the BBLT, which was an enormous sandwich filled with all the classic ingredients: bacon, lettuce, tomato, avocado, over-easy egg, and aioli. It was served on a wheat bun with breakfast potatoes, making it a hearty and satisfying meal to kickstart my day. We also shared a giant blueberry pancake, which was a complete meal in itself. I'm still reminiscing about that delicious pancake along with everything else and can't wait to return to this place for another delightful brunch experience!

I initially visited this place because it's a rare downtown restaurant with great street parking so I always knew I could find a spot (huge plus!). My first visit I tried the blackberry cheesecake stuffed French toast but It didn't seem like it was truly stuffed with any cheesecake. It had some on top though and the flavor was still great, just a bit dry. I should've gotten a bit of syrup on the side. I washed it down with an iced French toast latte that was crazy good so I ordered one to go. Finally my server was Molli and she was just perfect. Sweet, talkative, and attentive -- oh and to top it off she saved my butt after I left my credit card there. I hope she sees this because I appreciate her! The next two times I visited that week I was craving oatmeal and they delivered in an elevated fashion. Their banana walnut oatmeal is decadent. I love boring oatmeal at home but it doesn't have to be boring. Half & Half elevates this humble dish into an incredibly tasty experience. I can't get oatmeal at other places now! I washed it down with some OJ that was just alright. It doesn't taste like it's freshly squeezed in house like other breakfast spots in Clayton but it's hardly a complaint. I will visit this warm and cozy spot many times over.

We made a quick stop at Foundry Bakery and ordered a wide selection -- everything was delicious…read more We tried the milk bun, lavender yuzu berry cookie, egg tart, black sesame panna cotta, pineapple gem, orange bun, berry trio walnut bread, and the cronut. Not a single miss. The biggest standouts were the lavender yuzu berry cookie and the berry trio walnut bread. The cookie was incredibly well balanced -- floral, citrusy, and not overly sweet -- and easily one of the best cookies I've had in a while. It's also a pretty large cookie, so good for sharing... or not The berry trio walnut bread had great structure despite being packed with nuts and dried fruits -- really thoughtfully baked and especially amazing toasted. Overall, Foundry is a really great bakery. Absolutely worth the drive to try something new, and I'll definitely be coming back.

The buffalo wings were decent. I came to try the doughnut cheeseburger. They were out of glazed doughnut. It was near closing time.

We saw that it had a very industrial atmosphere with writing all over the walls (which were peoples names, and it makes a creative restaurant idea!). We went up to the hostess wearing an America 250 shirt and said we wanted a table for 5. She was very friendly and kindly guided us to our table. We The menu was large, and had some very funny names like "Toot Toot, Here Comes Some Fruit!" and "Why The French Hate Us." For my drink, I went with coffee. I added some cream and sugar with the help of my daughter, and it tasted very sweet and delicious. For my breakfast, I went with the Why The French Hate Us. It is a croissant stuffed with sausage and cheddar cheese, with gravy. While I was waiting for my food, my mom (the kids paternal grandma) decided that they would put these teal cardboard crowns on my dad and me. When we put it on, a young kid complimented our crowns. We said it was for an early fathers day breakfast. Even though it was Juneteenth. Which suprisingly this place was still open. When my Why The French Hate Us came out, the sausage was juicy and piping hot. The croissant was perfectly flaky and the eggs were perfectly cooked.

From the minute I stepped up to their door I was greeted by a hilarious sign outside their door, then walked in to an urban hip hop graffiti style entryway which was cool.

I really wish I could say I liked it because I enjoyed the whole vibe of the restaurant but I didn't like the waffle. The waffle was subpar and tasted like a waffle from a hotel continental breakfast bar, but the chicken was amazing. I'll give it a second chance at some point because I liked everything about this place except the waffle.

This diner has limited seating with a full counter area and a couple 2 top tables. Sitting at the counter there are menus and condiments available between seats. They have a nice menu serving breakfast and lunch. I went specifically for something with gravy and that was a good choice. I ordered the Sandy Stack with a biscuit topped with hashbrowns, sausage and scrambled eggs then covered in gravy. The gravy was sooooo goood!!!! This breakfast was delicious. Most people there seemed to know each other, definitely a locals hangout. That didn't bother me, I didn't feel out of place. But I wouldn't say I felt "welcome" either... A greeting or smile could take the experience to the next level. Either way, I may be back again anyway - the food is delicious!
