  • Cairdeas Coffee

    1223 Tamm Ave. St. Louis - Dogtown

    314-645-3972

    Cheery, pretense-free and thoroughly devoted to the community, Cairdeas is the embodiment of everything that's good about Dogtown. Local artists' works adorn the walls; regulars sit and sip on the pretty garden patio. The coffee is aces, as are the smoothies and the icy, fruity granitas (perfect for a summer afternoon). And here's a bit of advice: Go to Cairdeas hungry. That way you can try the house-made baked goods, a delish gourmet sandwich or a hearty breakfast item (like a honey-wheat tortilla stuffed with bacon, egg, pepper cheese and salsa). So grab a drink, a nosh and a seat -- you'll want to stay awhile.

  • City Coffeehouse & Crêperie

    36 N. Brentwood Blvd. Clayton

    314-862-2975

    In France crêpes are street food, but in Clayton they get the upper-crust treatment at this cute, bustling breakfast-and-lunch spot. The crêperie is particularly popular with female baby-boomer townsfolk in search of a quick, relatively cheap bite. And who can blame them? Nearly twenty varieties of sweet and savory crêpes (ultra-thin, ultra-light pancakes with an eggy-sweet flavor) come stuffed with endless, gourmet-quality combinations of roasted vegetables, Havarti cheese, mesquite-grilled chicken, creamed spinach, pineapple, smoked salmon, jams, bananas or classic Nutella. Soups, salads, sandwiches, quiches and Belgian waffles are available, but you don't go to Ted Drewes for frozen yogurt, do you?

  • Coffee Cartel

    2 Maryland Plaza St. Louis - Central West End

    314-454-0000

    Like an entire mall food court under one roof. Coffee Cartel sells sandwiches, smoothies, frappes, milkshakes, doughnuts, gourmet chocolate bars, truffles, bottled juices and waters, ice cream by the scoop (Edy's) or prepackaged pint (Häagen-Dazs), nachos, chips and salsa - and, if you can find them amid everything else on the menu, coffee drinks, which you can get straight-up or spiked with liqueurs. The Cartel is open 24/7, and its CWE neighbors take round-the-clock advantage of that, making the place a primo spot for nighttime people-watching.

  • Companion Bake House & Cafe

    8143 Maryland Ave. Clayton

    314-352-4770

    How do the folks at Companion possess the time or patience to turn out such lovely breakfast and lunch items at their Clayton eatery? Haven't they enough to do, turning out some 13,000 pounds of breads and pastries daily for dozens of St. Louis restaurants? Yet here's a scrumptious "Jive Turkey" sandwich (that's turkey, prosciutto, white Cheddar, roasted yellow onion and chili mayo on country white bread), there's a gorgeous slice of veggie pizza -- and let's not forget the eggs and French toast at breakfast. And you'll likely want to take home a treat: The bakery case boasts beautiful cakes, and a loaf of bread (in styles like rye batard, ciabatta, pumpkin-cranberry, or rosemary-olive oil) goes for about five bucks.

  • Corvid's Cafe

    5001 Mardel Ave. St. Louis - St. Louis Hills

    314-481-1522

    Tucked into the Kingshighway Hills neighborhood of south city, Corvid’s Café is the quintessential neighborhood café — a place to gather, have a light meal or grab a cup of coffee to go. Owners John and Cindy Panian had been operating a catering company next door for eight years, and when the adjacent restaurant space (formerly World Café) became available, they jumped at the chance to put their own stamp on the place. The menu features light, classic café fare, such as tarragon-infused chicken salad and a spinach salad topped with dried fruit, sunflower seeds and Gorgonzola. The signature item is the “Crabwich,” a fried crabcake fritter served with oven roasted tomatoes, arugula and ancho chile sauce on a pretzel croissant. Other offerings include housemade pizzas and dressed-up baked potatoes. It’s the perfect place to sink into an overstuffed couch in front of the fireplace, sip a cup of coffee and snack.

  • Donut Drive-In

    6525 Chippewa St. St. Louis - St. Louis Hills

    314-645-7714

    Best reason to fish for loose change in your car's seat cushions: You only need about 47 cents to buy yourself a cakey piece of heaven from this little white building where they make doughnuts, doughnuts and nothing else (well, except coffee, the good ol' American diesel-fuel kind) the old-school way. That cakey quality is key: Chocolate glazed, custard-filled, cruller or plain, you get a doughnut with much more heft than the glaze-air-and-lard creations you find elsewhere. So what are you still doing reading this?

    No need to pond-jump to Florence for a taste of frozen dairy at its finest; Chris and Dana Sherman made the trip for you. A vacation to Italy planted the seeds for this gelato shop, a welcome addition to the Wash. Ave. streetscape. Gelato flavors -- about a dozen, showcased in glass-paned coolers in luscious heaps -- include bacio (chocolate hazelnut), tiramisu and zabaglione.

  • Hartford Coffee Company

    3974 Hartford St. St. Louis - Tower Grove

    314-771-5282

    This is the definition of a neighborhood coffee shop -- it's actually an old south-city duplex on Hartford Street. The coffee is topnotch and fair trade, boasting organic blends from Bolivia, Mexico, Colombia, Guatemala, Indonesia, New Guinea, Brazil, Peru and Ethiopia. They even use a process called fluid bed air roasting...we're not exactly sure what that means, but we like the results. But Hartford Coffee Company is more than a place to grab a cup of joe -- sit down, have a conversation, read a book. There's a whole section filled with children's books and games, and there are electrical outlets at each table so you can plug in and get some work done. On Friday evenings you can walk in for an open-mic night, while Saturdays bring stellar local acts.

  • Julia's Market Cafe

    730 Carroll St. St. Louis - Midtown

    314-581-5125

    Julia's Market Café is a little shack of a place in Soulard Market. It's not the kind of joint you'd expect to serve a delicious bloody mary. But they do. They really, really do. We honestly don't know what it is about Julia's bloody mary that makes it so incredible. It could be the "secret seasoning" they add. Or the asparagus. Or the green beans. Or the celery. It's all so good! Julia's also serves chili, hot dogs, chicken dumplings and more, as well as margaritas and beer.

  • Kaldi's Coffee Roasting Company

    187 Carondolet Plaza Clayton

    314-726-2900

    Tucked away on one of St. Louis’ most picturesque street corners, Kaldi’s quaintly cramped shopfront ain’t much bigger than a bread box -- yet its menu is almost as broad as what you’d find at a truck-stop diner. You could actually put together a little three-course meal: Start with the soup of the day, a salad or a shared order of black-bean nachos; move on to a stuffed croissant or grilled cheese; then polish it all off with a slice of pie. Kaldi’s roasts its own coffee beans, so if you’re too stuffed to even consider a cup of joe, take some home with you. See listing for additional locations under "Webster/Kirkwood" and "West County."
