Arch City Homes: While the food can be a bit pricey, it really is good and the atmosphere is a one of a kind. It's a perfect place to visit over a 2 hour lunch on the weekend.
Arch City Homes: If you are looking for an indie vibe, you've come to the right place. The best thing on the menu is the bagel with pesto and fresh mozzarella. Plus they have beer and are open late.
276 N Skinker Blvd (at Forest Park Pkwy), St Louis, MO
Café · Skinker DeBaliviere · 65 tips and reviews
Arch City Homes: Bring plenty of quarters for the metered parking lot behind the building even on the weekends...they require feeding 24/7. Food - try the Cortina sandwich or Durango wrap. Both are great!
Coffee Shop · Lafayette Square · 64 tips and reviews
Arch City Homes: While Park Avenue doesn't have regular food, it has more flavors of gooey butter cake than you'll find anywhere. Seating is limited but cozy, making you feel like you are hanging out with friends.
Arch City Homes: A refreshing independently owned cafe in a residential part of West County where you normally only find chains. The Dill Turkey sandwich is great.
Arch City Homes: Free wifi and self-serve coffee with free refills. It's a great place to work or hold a meeting during the afternoon. Plus live music at night too.
12 The Blvd. (at Brentwood Boulevard), St Louis, MO
Café · 30 tips and reviews
Arch City Homes: They'll swap out whatever you want. Try the Avocado Ham panini, subbing bacon for ham and fresh mozzarella instead of pepper jack cheese.
559 1st Capitol Dr (at S. 6th St.), St. Charles, MO
Café · Saint Charles · 32 tips and reviews
Arch City Homes: They get really packed on the weekends for breakfast, but if you wait until around 10:30 or 11:00 am, it's easy to find seating even for a bigger group.
7298 Manchester Rd (Marshall Avenue), Maplewood, MO
Coffee Shop · 71 tips and reviews
Karen>ArchCityHomes: Really comfy place to hang out, but they recently covered over all of their outlets and now only give you 1 hour of wifi with a purchase. If you want lunch, perfect. Want a place to work, not so much.
