This place is right around the corner from my daughter's school. My 1st time going I didn't really know what I wanted and they explained everything and gave me a great choice. The chocolate chip muffin was really good taste homemade almost in the breakfast sandwich with the biscuit was really tasty will definitely be back.

We are visitors from out of state and wanted something cool to eat after a day in the heat. We are glad it was open on a Sunday, late in the afternoon. The ice cream was delicious. I enjoyed the butter pecan. They also have several coffee drinks.

Stopped in while walking to forest park on a Saturday morning. Lots of tasty treats. Owner was really welcoming. I have a new spot

Better than Starbucks coffee, way more options with lower prices. Great breakfast options. And coffee with a twist (alcohol) if you wish. Stop reading my review, hurry up and go see for yourself!

Cool little place to stop in and walk over to the zoo or forest park. Able to order through an outside window and they are open late for a coffee shop.

The cappuccino lavender vanilla is the best. They have a nice concept where you can order your coffee in the walk-through or you can go inside and get an excellent service. You always get extra shots of smiles!

I walked right past this place because it’s very plain, small and they don’t have a sign. I saw someone walk out with an ice cream cone and, after looking at the great reviews, decided to try it out. They don’t have many flavors - maybe eight. But I tried the chocolate in a waffle cone. A scope is only like $3.50 and a waffle cone is an extra $1. You get more than enough in one scoop. You really don’t need to get more. Wow $3.50 for a great ice cream today - it’s a deal!! You should definitely try it if you are in the area.

I come here 1-2 times a week, either for breakfast sandwiches or ice cream. It is the BEST.

Having a daughter named Emmi we had to stop in and get her a shirt. Great service. Friendly staff. Met the owner, Em, and she was great too. Good ice cream. Pro tip put the Zanzibar chocolate in your Iced Chai Tea Latte.

Cute place to get ice cream or sweets. Coffee is very light American / milkshake taste.

I travel a lot for work so I'm about a month late on my review. That being said, The place was super chill and the kids loved it so I had to leave one. If you're looking for a quiet little spot for Ice cream and good service, come here. Sweet Em's is a hidden Gem! 💎 😋 🍦

Lovely little neighborhood shop for coffee and milkshakes. The folks inside are always friendly.

Their ice cream is excellent. You won't regret going here, so if you're debating it, go for it. They serve the most flavorful and potent strawberry ice cream I've ever tasted at this hidden gem.

This place has lost it's touch. Was amazing a year ago but today I came and got a " sundae" all it was was the ice cream with whipped cream and a little chocolate sauce. I actually complained and he said oh sorry we're out of hot fudge 🙄🙄. So the kid at the front was kind of dumb maybe not everyone is cut out to work with the public just saying. I won't be coming back for awhile. Offer me free ice cream and hire people who know how to listen and maybe you'll change my mind! Best of luck to you

The only problem with there wasn't enough seating to sit down and make phone calls and write on a piece of paper

Fantastic place, it's my go-to for coffee since moving to the neighborhood a few months ago. Their breakfast food and ice cream is great too. I really wish there was more seating so I could hang out and work on things, but I know that's out of their control.

They’re breakfast options are so filling and satisfying! The coffee is nice. Friendly staff. I’ve actually never had their ice cream, but I had their boozy shakes once! Maybe a smidge overpriced, but it was tasty and they didn’t skimp on the liquor! I’m always happy to support my neighborhood small business!

The staff was friendly and helpful, good conversation. Also, the tea I got was great and the ice cream that my family got as well was great too.

Wow, this is now my go to coffee place in St. Louis. Megan, the owner, and Raquelle, the manager were such gracious and wonderful people! They treated us to morning delights and fabulous company. It was pure pleasure to find such a wondrous place. I highly recommend it! The coffee tastes what Starbucks thinks it does.
