COLLEEN'S

First on food:
1. Scones
This is not your English savory style scone with clotted cream and jam. Having said that, it’s very moist and the real strawberries they put in there was nice and sweet with frosted sugar on top.

2. Vegetable quiche
Wow. You know this is freshly made. It has an unbelievable steam egg like texture, very milky in flavor and a soft crust at the bottom (not crunchy). Crust is perfect in thickness and a beautiful butter taste to it.

Ambiance:
Nice and comfortable, waiters are very nice and there is no sense of rushness from service to speed of which people walked around.

The only reason one star was knocked off was the time it took for food to come. Waited for about 30-40 minutes , but they are short staffed. If you’re in a rush I’d go somewhere else but If you have time to spare it’s worth coming !

10/10 breakfast, 10/10 cookies & the macrons go to 11! As far as brunch experiences go, this was in my top 5 for STL. They tic all the boxes, bottomless coffee, heavy and light options, pastries that vary in style and flavor, open seating and great staff to take care of you.

I tried the southwest skillet, and it’s a pretty hearty meal. The flavor from the egg yolks and chorizo that blends with the roasted potatoes to create a really enjoyable dish.

The macrons are also a fantastic choice if you still have room after trying a cookie. Their flavors are on point, and the texture was perfection.

Parking can be tough on weekends, so don’t give up if it’s hard to find a spot quickly. It’s worth the wait.

This was my 1st time here & it was my birthday so it was such a pleasant atmosphere and the young lady at the counter that took our order was extremely professional and accurate with or order. I love tea but the coconut tea that I had with the lavender honey syrup add-on was AMAZING! My sister had the Latte w/the Lavender honey syrup as well. I ordered the Avocado with 2 scrambled eggs and my sister had the turkey but with Buffalo cauliflower. All AMAZINGLY done! We bother we're very impressed and we will definitely make this our regular Sunday morning go to.
Be aware that this place gets busy so 1st come 1st serve on seating. There's an outside patio with seating, inside and bar seating.

A new favorite breakfast place for me. In love with the skillet dishes. Food is fresh and flavorful. The environment is very much a busy (cute) cafe but there are plenty of seats and the tables are comfortably placed. Bakery items are nice as well... lots of cookie varieties and macarons!

Colleen’s Cookies is a great neighborhood spot for breakfast, lunch or a sweet treat. When I think of scones, I always thought they were dry and bland. Not these. Colleen’s scones are super moist and flavorful. The strawberry scone with lemon glaze is amazing, a favorite morning treat. My daughter and I also love the gooey butter and sugar cookies. If you come on a weekend you’ll see the outside patio full of families and dogs enjoying brunch.

Good but not as good as the reviews seem to indicate.
Had the omelette which, for $13 was good but dry. It comes with four or five vegetables, which is good. One slice of toast, which is a little chintzy. And one thin slice of orange which is silly. No potatoes or any other side which most of the competition includes for that price.
You can get a single cup of coffee for $3 or a bottomless cup for $4 - which is interesting. But all three cups that I had, tasted very burnt (and I am a BIG Starbucks dark roast fan) which made me unhappy.
Ok if you are in the neighborhood.

Such a fantastic breakfast place! It has a charming neighborhood vibe with exceptional breakfast options, pastries and coffee. Our kids love the biscuits and jam. The Southwest Skillet and bottomless coffee is my personal favorite. If you go, park on the street for easier exit on to Forsyth.

The food was amazing and the service time was acceptable based on the number of staff they have. The only complaint I had was that the tables were too close together and so it got noisy quickly. Otherwise I would go back again and try other food options.

I ordered Lord of the Rings designed cookies for my nieces baby shower from Colleen's, and they were absolutely amazing. They were so adorable no one wanted to eat them at first, haha! If I ever need custom cookies made again we will definitely be ordering from here! Thank you so much for making my nieces baby shower so special.

The food is not perfect, but server we had was great, super nice and sweet. This five star is for her. The house blend is super bitter, I put 2 bag of sugar it still bitter. Last time I got cappuccino, that is super good! Mimosa is good especially drink with Sweet Potato Hash, the sour of Mimosa can off set the sweetness.
