Benton Park Cafe & Coffee Bar

I’ve been coming here for many years and there food is always the best!!! Especially on the weekends like Sundays with my family. I always get the usual Turkey bacon egg croissant with cheesy hash browns and coffee. Friendly staff and a great cook. I live in the area so city folks are always the best!
It’s based in a good neighborhood and lots of historic houses. You can eat inside or outside both are great. Definitely worth it.

Photos are from a recent take out order!!! They are the BEST!!!

New update Wednesday4/26/2023 0900...Still Great food and sat outdoors!

We had breakfast at this fine establishment twice on our trip to St. Louis - so glad we found it. Our server was friendly and efficient. The food came out quickly and it was delicious. Love the place. We will be back.

Loaded potatoes are worth the trip ALONE. I love the pancakes and the Benton Park blend coffee is something I missed while it was closed. Staff is a little inattentive or they’re understaffed.

Such a disappointment. We used their online "join waitlist" and it said we were second in line. Drove over to find that there was a 45 minute wait. It was Sunday at brunch time so the place was busy but after we were seated, the server forgot us, 15 minutes after we ordered we had no drinks, didn't get napkins, everything was a frustration for her. The french toast must have been made with stale bread because the edges were so hard they couldn't be cut. The biscuit and gravy tasted "off" and the biscuits were hard as rocks and totally dry. The bacon wasn't cooked through and tasted raw in parts. We actually all left hungry. I've heard great things about this place and we really wanted to like it but this was a huge disappointment. I gave two stars because everyplace has an off day and it was a busy time.

So glad to have Benton Park Cafe back. Took my 2 kids, 11 and 8 here after a hike today. They LOVED the food (Heft lefty pullednpork sandwhich was especially good) and smoothies and the staff was extra kind to them. Taking the time at the end of a very busy day to really connect with them. You could sense the pride they had in delivering the food as well. Way to go guys!

Benton Park Cafe has friendly staff, good food, and a pleasant atmosphere. My beef tip sandwich was wonderful. It was quiet, yet lively. I look forward to trying some new drinks from the menu, but some of the prices are expensive. I would definitely like to go back one day. The shrimp sandwich Po' Boy was good, too!

We found this place due to its great reviews online. My husband and I live in Europe and were on the hunt for something else other than bacon, eggs and toast. This place offers a great selection of food. We tried the ultimate eggs benedict (so so good) and will go back for more today, so we can try the granola and French toast. The staff is super friendly and the overall atmosphere very relaxed. Definitely recommend!

Amazing food, service, atmosphere…I am currently 7 months pregnant, good food doesn’t go unnoticed. Benton Park Cafe had the best Slinger (BP slinger) I got mine with potatoes and sausage gravy, the gravy was delicious. My boyfriend got the breakfast pizza and it was absolutely delicious. The crust, the cheese, the sausage. Our drinks were even notable, the smoothie was fresh and delicious and they have some of the best coffee around. Adding BPC to my regular breakfast spots list. Bonus; it’s a Monday and they’re open!!!

At 1 point it was hit or miss im not sure what the cook situation is but I feel like when they get better or getting the food out quicker and still hot it’ll be 5stars

I’ve been a long time lover of the original Benton Park Cafe at the old location across from Gus’s pretzels and since they’ve moved around the corner it has changed slowly. Had a small family group in from CA and thought this would be the perfect taste of breakfast in STL. New ownership and no more $5.00 bloody marys and actually no alcoholic drinks anymore! Hash brown casserole was not fully cooked which I sadly raved about to everyone. Apparently they are working on getting a liquor license which is hard to believe because how did they loose it or why is it so difficult to attain when they had it all along? Also if you get seated in the back room beware of the 2 bathrooms where the doors do not shut automatically and when people come out the door stays wide open, extra yumminess anyone? They should put door hinges that close right after guest walk out.
