    Chicken empanada and sweet iced matcha
    Karen B.

    Empanada was delicious, definitely had Colombian authentic flavors in it. Matcha came in a cute cool cup! Service is quick and nice :) Cozy vibes inside, lots of tables for computer work.

    Loved the chill vibe! They were busy and a little Slower because of it but service was friendly and the coffee, croissants were great! The filling in the empanadas were a little on the skimpy side but tasty. Convenient location, will return!

    I was so happy to finally get to try Colombian coffee shop Zensia in Clayton. I ordered a honey shaken espresso, matcha specialty drink, and a mango smoothie for my kids. The drinks came out pretty quickly and were flavorful and delicious. The matcha was topped with lucky charms which my daughter thought was so fun. I also ordered the guava cheese bread as a snack but it wasn't my favorite. I would probably just get the regular cheese bread next time since there wasn't a lot of guava filling. On my next visit I definitely want to have an empanada!

    Great Colombian coffee in a charming environment. You can sit and stay a while, but it was to go service for me. Whenever I am in town for work, this is my go to coffee place.

    SO happy I came here. Found it through TikTok and came on a Saturday morning at 10. I had basically no wait for taking my order or getting my drink and lemon loaf. The sweetest lady took my order and chatted with me for a while. She told me about some upcoming classes they might be holding and took my phone number to let me know if they end up having the event!! The lemon loaf was AMAZING. It had the best texture and the best flavor, sometimes lemon things are too tart or strong, but this was perfect. The cortado was delicious as well. I sat inside and everything came out on the cutest little wooden tray with beautiful cup and plate. I would recommend coming here to anybody! The inside also had plenty of seating with tables and a lot of people were there chatting or studying, and it wasn't too loud to enjoy a nice conversation or to study. It is street parking but I found some easily not too far away.

    Cute coffee shop in downtown Clayton! Coffee was tasty, a little pricey but nothing outrageous. They had a lot of pastry options and empanadas which looked good. The place is a little small so on a weekend it can be hard to find a place to sit but it's perfect for grab and go or if you're here alone. Might be tougher with a large group.

    Beautiful space, nice staff, and AMAZING matcha. I'm a lover of sweet matcha and this place hit the spot!

    chai latte and cheese bread
    Thao N.

    I'm always coming back to Zensia for a chai latte with oatmilk! By far one of my favorite cafes in St. Louis. The workers (Gabby and Sydney) are super friendly and always helping me try new things (they give out samples every now and then). If you need a nice calm study spot or coffee chat, I highly recommend this place!!

    Sweet Natas

    Finally got to check out this coffee shop that I have heard many great things about. I must say the brew was not quite my cup of tea. I felt like the coffee flavor was not strong enough. A little on the weak side. Desserts and pastries however are the highlights for me. I tried the Pandebonos Colombian cheese bread and it was toasted on the outside and chewy on the inside. A plain and simple pastry but somehow so addicting to me. I also tried the Sweet Natas, a milk pudding desserts with some biscoff crumbs on top and it was sweet and creamy. Very similar to the Puerto Rican oat meal that I had. The ambiance was nice. I love the space. Perfect for work and chilling with friends. I do think their food is stronger than the their drink. I want to come back and try the other items on the desserts and pastries menu.

    This is my new favorite coffee shop! It's Colombian based coffee and teas and also bakery items imported. The inside is beautiful with a lot of space and patio. When you walk in they greet you like family. They really explained the different coffees they have. The food items are really good as we'll definitely get the empanadas and the cassava bread!

    iced latte
    Ria D.

    went to have my productivity friday here and it was fine. the iced latte was fine. the inside of the coffee shop is very cute and everyone was very nice! minus points for only having paid parking around the shop and very slow wifi.

    You don't realize how big the cup they use for three scoops is until they start putting ice cream…read morein it and it's like, Whoa, do I really need $10 worth of ice cream? Well, I guess it's not really $10 worth of ice cream. Certainly, it's not $10 worth of ice cream by 1990s standards. Once, I could go get an entire tub of Schnucks store-brand mint chocolate chip with weirdly strong artificial flavoring (arguably the GOAT ice cream) with the change found between the seat cushions in the station wagon I used to drive. You'd die trying to eat $10 worth of that. Eventually, you might die eating Clementine's. It'll run you, but you get a lot of calories for your dollar. It might even be a good value, depending on how you look at it. They pack it into those little tubs, too. No Diddy. They fill the tub and then they pile it high on top. It's the ol' Five Guys strategy of charging you money out the ass and then giving you more food than you require, as if they're doing you a favor. Uh, thanks? All of the flavors I had were really good, but they were incredibly rich, to the point where after a while they get to be a bit much. They had a mouthfeel almost more along the lines of butter than the cheap ice cream I should be buying (I've been known to eat soft serve from QT), and I'm assuming that's because they have a nutritional profile that's not altogether different. As one of the girls from my running group pointed out, after a while the flavors all kinda run together. Part of it's that they actually melt into each other, and part of it's I'm sure just palette fatigue. I went with three scoops. The ideal order here might be two: enough that you don't feel ripped off, or that you came a long way for nothing, but not so much that you somehow develop delayed onset lactose intolerance in your 40s. Of the three flavors that I had, I liked the Salted Caramel Cookies + Cream, Heritage Mint Chip and Gooey Butter Cake, in that order. But you really can't go wrong with any of those. The Gooey Butter Cake is their signature, but I'm a mint chip brother, as previously discussed. The Salted Caramel Cookies + Cream might be their top flavor. It was my favorite of the ones that I tried, and a girl from our group whose opinion I trust said it's the best.

Honestly, if you judged it by the outside, you might drive right past it. There is one parking spot in front, and then a run down parking lot behind and to the side. The moment I walked in, I felt like I was back in my childhood. The lime green decor, the dark bakery display cases filled with buns, and the small plates of food inside reminded me of the Cantonese bakeries I grew up going to. They also had ready to go meals wrapped up to take home. We bought a bunch of things to try. We had the beef cheung fun, siu mai, BBQ pork baos, sesame balls, egg custard tarts, and one of my favorites, the giant round sponge cake. Everything was fresh and really tasty. The roast pork looked delicious too, with nice crispy skin. The biggest surprise for me was seeing lo po beng (Old Wife Cake). We can hardly ever find it on the East Coast, so whenever we do, we always buy some for my mom. Seeing it here made me so happy. I live in the Metro D.C. area, where we have some really good Cantonese bakeries, so I wasn't expecting much from this tiny place. But honestly, Wei Hong Bakery could definitely give many of the bakeries back home a run for their money. Don't let the outside fool you. If you're looking for authentic Cantonese bakery items in St. Louis, this little bakery is absolutely worth a visit. It brought back so many childhood memories, and I'd definitely stop again the next time I'm in town.

The flavors are plentiful, the creativity is unmatched, and the quality of the ingredients is truly unrivaled. I honestly don't think there's a better cheesecake shop that I've encountered anywhere in my travels. The staff is generally very helpful and welcoming, with Lindsy in particular being a consistent standout at the front register over the years. I've been a loyal customer for a long time and have easily spent thousands of dollars on Hank's cheesecakes for both personal celebrations and professional events. The product itself has always been worth every penny. That said, I was disappointed to learn of the new policy charging $2 simply to slice a cheesecake. When purchasing a $25-$400+ cheesecake, an additional fee for a task that takes roughly 20 seconds feels unnecessary and, frankly, a bit off-putting. While I understand that rising costs are impacting businesses everywhere, this type of nickel-and-diming can feel discouraging--especially to long-standing, repeat customers who have consistently supported the business. Hank's Cheesecake remains exceptional, and the product is second to none. I hope management reconsiders this policy, as it slightly detracts from what has otherwise been an outstanding customer experience for many loyal patrons.

    One flavor of ice cream available? Not a good starting sign!…read more Now I didn't get as many outdoor pictures this weekend as I had intended... but that's what happens when I heatwave happens in the middle of nowhere right? (But at least I remembered the food photo this time! So I"m not totally on dementia notice yet :) ) But I was having one of those goof-off days, (sorta) spent more than I should have at the World Market (I can't help it! The Sasume soft drinks -ALWAYS- Get me! (the Greatest Japanese invention ever :) ) So I'm REALLY needing Ice-cream. but i mean real ice cream. Then I remembered this place I promised myself I would stop in.. Jilly's. Driven past it a few times, saw it had once gotten a USA today recommendation, and the big sign had "cupcakes, ice cream and coffee" written right there. Go in and there's not really a vibe to the place. There is an ice cream counter and a cup-cake counter, and a couple of soda fridges. The problem is.. I'm going in wanting ice cream, make my way over ot check and there's ONLY ONE tub in the entire case with anything in it. And it's BUTTER PECAN??? I swear, maybe i just need to lower my expectations or something? But then how do I be the best "Yelpee" i can be? Anyway enough about the introspective for now. So I'm here, let's see what else we can have problems with today, shall we? The "coke" fridge has a limited supply of drinks.. I guess the stockers hadn't run yet today? (so -1 star for no ice cream/drinks). Well, it's a heatwave, so coffee's out. and that just leaves Cupcakes.... and wow.. these things are HUGE! And that's just the cupcake, that's not counting the icing on top! Basically, two entirely different layers.. one for the cake and one for the frosting.. (talk about a sugar coma!) Anyway, time to take a pack of 4 to go... (the sit down locale wasn't really much to my recollection, it just seemed "there" as if this wasn't a good day as I don't' recall a lot of the amenities as shown in most Yelpers photos., or I was just too hot to notice. ). so it's grab and go... And I realize, just looking at them; this is not one of those deserts you can eat and drive, so maybe a full sealed rack is a good thing right?) I make it home and wouldn't you know it; I forgot that cupcakes were actually "Stuffed".. Surprise!! 3 deserts in one! Cake, Filling, and Icing! Anyway, I don't even make it all the way through the first cupcake as a whole before I realize... Yep, Sugar Coma all the way! Basically, you've been warned you can order more than 1 cupcake to yourself, but count on leftovers if you do!! Anyway, I finally snapped out of my sugar coma and got around to writing things before i go for another sugar coma (dont' forget, I ordered 4 cupcakes!!). So yes these things are huge and they are priced a little more than usual cupcakes, but absolutely worth every penny So IRONICALLY, if i had gone in for Cupcakes alone... this would be a 5* review. As I was originally going for ice cream (And am so OVER butter pecan), 4 *'s it is at least for me. but we've given you the steps to get your own 5* time at Jilly's!

    OMG. These are great! I thought the decor was nice, the service was great, and shamefull went back…read morethe next day for more. You'd never expect something so cute too be so good! Every flavor we tasted was so full of flavor, most, and the sweetness was not overpowering. Do not sleep on this place. You'd be crazy to do so.
