A Fancy Treat - Edit
Several toasts to choose from. The Smashed Chickpea was outstanding. The Avocado Toast is perhaps the best I’ve ever had though.

Fresh, healthy, delicious... - Edit
My friend and I were visiting St. Louis for a day. We decided to try this place for lunch. It was our first visit. We had salads, avocado toast, and juices. Everything was very good and the ingredient and flavor combinations were innovative, I thought.
Read more(Note: The menu on the Web site uses "VG" next to some items. I saw no key or legend, but wanted to be sure it meant "vegan," so we called (twice) for clarification on this; they seemed to have no idea what we were talking about. They said "VE" was "vegan." It was frustrating. When I went inside to ask in person, I could see that some items in the display case were marked "VE." I eventually confirmed with them that both the "VG" on the menu and the "VE" in the display meant "vegan.")
If this were a vegan and organic place, and if the juices were made-to-order (they might have been made that morning, which is absolutely fine--I just really love a fresh-made juice), I might give it a five-star rating.
Lastly, I really appreciated the compostable (looked like it) containers and packaging. Even the little condiment cups and lids were made of paper.

Thankful for the vegan options - Edit
Cute little coffee shop, great atmosphere with some outdoor seating. We tried the summer avocado toast and the smashed chickpea toast, both fully vegan without changes. They had a few vegan pastries but the line was never short enough to get back in, not a bad thing, so we didn’t get a chance to try any. Good coffee/tea selection as well as pressed juice, smoothies and cocktails. I had the cup of sunshine and my wife had a Bloody Mary, both good!

Lovely for light lunch - Edit
Had lunch there for the first time today. It was very cute and the staff were very pleasant and attentive. The menu is small but the food was very good (I had the Pompeia salad, friend had the summer avocado toast we shared some sweet treats) and the cocktails and coffees sounded great... sorry it has taken me so long to check this place out!

Delightful decor and toast - Edit
Sweet neighborhood spot for fun coffees (they rotate latte specials with the seasons), baked goods, and fancy toast. The base of the toast is from a local bakery that’s perfected their sour dough. We had an avocado toast and a smashed chickpea toast and the chickpea was our fav. They have a lot of vegan options, and can vegan-ize some of their vegetarian offerings as well. It’s a little on the pricey side, but as they try to source ethically and locally, the prices are reasonable.
Read morePros: Fun rotating flavors, Indoor decor - plants! , Many vegan options
Cons: Limited seating

Amazing - Edit
I went there for the first time on Tuesday and asked them to help a vegan out. They said that practically everything can be veganized. They work with you to accommodate your needs and don’t treat you like an alien for it. They have outdoor seating available so go on a nice day!
Read morePros: Everything there can be veganized, Healthy, Accommodations
Cons: Pricy (not too bad)

The creamy tomato soup could not be made vegan as it is made with milk.

Unethical - Edit
The food is good, the coffee is decent, the atmosphere is sterile, the place is freezing cold in winter, the internet is very slow, and the owner is mean—downright cruel—to her employees and any customers who speak up about it, both in person and online. There are so many better places to get coffee and light fare around this neighborhood. Don’t support business owners who harass and abuse employees and customers.

Limited menu but delicious - Edit
This cute coffeehouse has a limited menu but I really enjoyed everything that I ordered. They have a variety of vegan spreads (for toast) and two slices is definitely enough to fill you up as a meal.
Read moreThey had some vegan pastries too and non-dairy milk for the cafe drinks.
The decor was simple and live plants.
Pros: Trendy Avocado toast :), Ambiance , Fast

Great breakfast roasts and coffee - Edit
Has all the non-dairy milk subs (soy, almond, coconut, etc). Has avocado/tomato toast and chickpea/radish/balsamic toast option - neither are vegan on the menu, but simply leave off cheese/honey etc. The bread slices are huge so it really is a big serving! Usually has some sort of vegan pastry too if you have a sweet tooth.
