Benton Park Cafe & Coffee Bar

Wonderful cafe!!! I had the chicken breast sandwich with bacon, jalapeños, guacamole, and pepper jack cheese and oh my goodness, talk about good! I got a side of fruit which consisted of cantaloupe, blueberries, and strawberries and all were pleasantly sweet and full of flavor; perfect side for summer! I also ordered an iced coffee (vanilla latte) and it was also made to perfection. They offer breakfast and lunch as well as soups and salads. I don't recall if they serve dinner but either way, I HIGHLY recommend paying this place a visit!

I've seen this place deteriorate in quality over the years, which is a bit disappointing. Their fare is typical of any breakfast cafe: omelets, burritos, sandwiches. The interior is quaint, expanding the seating with a few tables outside when the weather is pleasant.

My main gripe is that the service is routinely awful. I understand that things can get busy, but I believe they are typically understaffed. I myself have waited over 20 minutes just to receive the check when I was one of maybe 10 tables seated for dinner.

On the food front, their plates used to be well seasoned and even spicy, but the past few times I've eaten here, the food has come out room temperature and fairly bland.

There are better neighborhood options for brunch, but I will say I appreciate this establishment being 24 hours on the weekend, which is super convenient. Hopefully they can turn things around, but the lasting impression is "meh".

The food was delicious and very well proportioned. The guy walking around taking care of the tables was extremely nice. He made sure that we had everything we needed.

I eat here all of the time. It’s 24 hours on Fridays and Saturdays. Great breakfast, full bar that can start serving at 6am. I love the farmer’s omlette. Fresh OJ, full espresso bar, and full array of hot teas. They have a nice little sidewalk outdoor service area when it’s warm.

My girlfriend and me had two times breakfast here in the last days (pancakes, ultimate Benedict, french toast, breakfast coffee). Staff is friendly, food awesome and the coffee good. All in all an awesome place. I recommend sitting outside in the morning.

We stopped by Benton Park Cafe on our last day in St. Louis...SURE WISH I WOULD HAVE FOUND THIS PLACE ON THE FIRST DAY....GREAT BREAKFAST! Big pancake with my eggs and bacon and the eggs were perfect. The coffee was perfect as well. THANKS We will be back!

Phenomenal. Stumbled upon this place while in St. Louis for a tour through the brewery. Full bar at 7am, and delicious good. Their breakfast cocktails were outstanding, and so was the biscuits and gravy. Service was also excellent, thanks Daz!

We went here off a recommendation from our leasing agent as we were in town and about to head out. Delicious, fantastic atmosphere and reminded me of a Brooklyn cafe.

We ordered an omelet and the French toast. Both were hot, delicious and above normal portion size!

We were greeted with a 15-20 minute wait for a Sunday brunch. We were seated in 10 minutes. They took us around back, which was find. There was plenty of patio room, so I was slightly confused. However, location didn't disappoint. We were in the corner, able to view everything, gather in the experience. It was great.

As other have said on here, the wait can be bothersome. However, I assume if you're coming out for Sunday brunch, you're not exactly on a time budget. We enjoyed in great conversation with one another and even struck up a conversation with the couple next to us. For us, wait wasn't an issue, greatness takes time, right?

OH! We also tried one of the boozie shakes. Delicious as all the other items.

Overall, solid place. great environment. We've returned multiple times since moving to St. Louis.

Great food. Dinner an breakfast menus are served all day. Attentive and nice staff. A bit slower than I would expect from a cafe like this, but not annoyingly so. Docked them one star for not having a changing table in the bathrooms. Had to change my daughter's diaper on the bathroom floor. Which is gross.

Friendly staff. Gets busy on the weekend! We waited about 25 minutes for a table for 2 around noon. Got the BP Slinger with Sausage and enjoyed it. Basic coffee. Food was tasty at a fair price.
