Benton Park Cafe & Coffee Bar

Moving my reviews over from Yelp. Originally published 5/12/19: I had a pretty fantastic lunch here one day when I was in the area. I ordered the shrimp po boy and selected their cucumber, tomato and mozzarella salad as my side dish. I asked for the salad to come out in front of the sandwich and it did but only by a moment. I really enjoyed the salad! The flavors were bright and full while the textures were as they should be: crisp for the cucumber, tender & juicy for the tomato and a little chewy yet creamy for the mozzarella. The dressing was a light vinaigrette that worked well to complete the dish and I appreciate a side dish that's well executed as opposed to being an afterthought. My entree was the shrimp po boy. It was very good but not as well executed as the salad. I loved the

I really wanted to love this spot, the menu had promise, the food itself was actually good, and the space had a laid-back charm. But unfortunately, the overall experience was marred by poor service and a lack of professionalism from staff.

Lovely Cafe for breakfast! We ate here several times during a visit to St Louis, both eat in and carry out. The food was fantastic, the coffees were well made and they did great with dairy and gluten allergies!

Really great place tucked away near the AB brewery. Food and coffee were great and the service was great too.

This is one of the coolest Cafe & Coffee Bars I have been too. The atmosphere is amazing and the decor is fabulous. I had an amazing latte & biscuits/gravy. The biscuits & gravy was delicious; the gravy had a hit of spice which made it heavenly. I had a wonderful waitress, Rose, who was/is amazing and helped me with both my drink & food order. She is very polite and astute. I highly recommend coming to this Cafe if you ever get a chance.
