Stopped in since I had a gift card to use. The staff friendly and very helpful.
I ordered a loaf to go and an egg salad sandwich. The sandwich was good. Pic included
The bread was also good. Waiting to go back and try a couple other loaves.
The restaurant has a nice little counter service area and dining room. It’s a small location with some great vibes.

yyy
They have counter seating, so it’s easy to dine in even when you’re alone.
I ordered the special lunch with a salad and a roast pork sandwich.
It was tasty, but a little oily for my taste.
All the staff were friendly, which made the experience even better.

PROS: Delicious food! Timely, sweet, and friendly service. Great atmosphere!
CONS: If you sit at the bar and closer toward the entrance, make sure you wear a jacket if it’s chilly out.
OVERALL: I’ll definitely be back sometime!

Simple restaurant that serves great food. The blueberry lemon soda is heavenly and our pizzas were amazing. We also had the ceaser salad and the dressing was rich and creamy. A fresh squeeze of lemon would have been nice. The almond olive cake was decent. The waiter was very kind! Overall we will return for pizza and a fresh soda!

The food is amazing. Pizzas taste fantastic and are very friendly on the stomach, especially if you have a sensitive one. The buttermilk sauce is to die for, especially if you pair it with the classic pizza or one of their fantastic sour dough breads.
It is pretty busy so I do recommend either setting up a reservation or ordering and they usually can’t seat you early. However, the food is definitely worth it if you’re a bread lover or open to trying some amazing new pizza combinations.

Moving reviews over from Yelp. Pricing, as well as this review, were as of 2016 but I’ve been back many times. Great food!
Holding short of five stars for one very simple reason…their prices are through the roof. Is the food good? Absolutely – it’s more along the lines of great. That said, there is just no excuse for their price points. The least expensive sandwich on the menu is a pb&j for eight bucks. Seriously?!? Eight bucks for a pb&j? Their other offerings all cost more. They aren’t paying an arm and a leg to be in the trendiest spot in town. Their ingredients aren’t esoteric. They did appear to be over-staffed but even that doesn’t justify their prices.
Enough ranting – here are some details on what I ate:
First up was their pizza rosa – a simple but exquisite snack. Hearty bread topped with tomatoes and some Italian seasoning then finished with a dash of chili oil that gave it a bit more kick than I was expecting. I enjoy spicy so this was right up my alley. One recommendation would be to serve it warm instead of cold.
Next I tried a cup of their kale and garbanzo soup. This one presents like a cream-based soup but turns out to be vegan. The creaminess is the product of a multi-stage cooking process that involves making the base out of blended, cooked vegetables. Add in some garbanzo beans to make it chunky and some fresh kale for both texture and appearance then top with some finely ground bread crumbs and it is one delicious bowl of soup.
My last item was the slice of bread that came with the soup. Yes, it is deserving of its own paragraph because it was so good. Crusty on the outside and dense but chewy on the inside – wow! I asked for some butter to go with it and was served a dish of sweet cream butter that they source locally because it is too much of a pain to make it in-house. They do whip it in house and serve it near room temperature. It is sweet, salty, creamy and delicious when paired with the hearty bread. Yelp certainly deserving of its own paragraph.

Incredible! An exceptional staff, so friendly and welcoming made this an amazing visit! The pizza was something I’ll crave until my next visit. Have to say it’s the best in the city. The burnt toast appetizer is a revelation!

Was super excited to try and in turn I’m incredibly disappointed .
First, it took two hours to arrive. I ordered through their website and it did not give an estimate on delivery before checking out so that’s on me.
For $17 I got a bacon turkey bianca sandwich without bacon. No bacon was on the sandwich which was awesome! However it only had one piece of turkey on the entire thing. I just assumed there was going to be more turkey on it at that price point.
Then I got to the potato salad . For $4 you get 4 bites of potato salad!
Maybe eating on-site is better, I don’t know. The bread was good but I really just feel super ripped off. The ham and cheddar was stacked with meat. The cookies were okay. I love what they do but man… hard to ever want to order again.

After seeing all the good reviews and my daughter seeing the beet sandwich on tick tok, I had very high expectations for this restaurant. Perhaps my expectations were too high. The atmosphere right away felt like a cattle call. There was no warm greeting. There was no welcome to union loafers. There were none of the typical pleasantries you would expect in the service industry. We sat down to a cramped seating set up, which by design can work if you also are offering a warm personable environment. This was not the case here. The servers were that fake nice that has unfortunately become the norm and lacked true empathy. By that, I mean never once did they ask how everything was. Now I am from the old school rules of 2 bites 2 min, which I admit I do expect, but we weren’t asked at all. The only thing coming close to it was after we paid the server, said those beet sandwiches are good, huh? Well, this is problematic as only 2 of the 4 people in our party ordered them. Overall, I hope this establishment can take this as a learning experience. Yes, you may be able to fill your restaurant and have them lined up around the corner while your fad is in, but you will not have the people love ,admire and fight for your business to be around for the ages like so many St. Louis establishments have. Perhaps you don’t want that, and you are happy with the flavor of the moment. To have a loyal following, you need to bring back the genuine care that one has had the best dining experience possible. Upon leaving, they were so caught up in getting the next warm body seated that there was no goodbye. Thank you for coming, etc. These are requirements for a good review from me. On a positive note, the beet sandwich was very good, the other 2 we ordered we not.

Overrated. The pizza was quite expensive and not worth what you pay unfortunately. The service was okay, we ordered to go and it took like 30 minutes to get our pizza considering there was no one in the restaurant. We sat down and waited and once our pizza was done we figured we might as well eat it there since we made ourselves comfortable and they served us water. The woman immediately told us no they don’t allow pizza boxes in the restaurant. Threw us off a little because as mentioned there was no one really there and we had waited awhile.
