Companion-ladue - St Louis

The food is always good. With the remodel I wish they would have implemented their order taker entering the order into whatever system/application, instead of you telling them and they try to remember and then they ask you again. Then when you move to the other end of the counter you have to repeat your order again at least twice, all while trying to have these conversations in a busy and loud room. Regarding the remodel, the dining portion of the room got smaller. Three booths were added that are a tight fit. Only a few two person tables. I don 't think the space given up was necessary for their grab and go refrigerator.

I was skeptical coming here for a while. I would always frequent the Westport location before they closed so driving to Ladue was a bit out of the way and a bit upscale for some coffee and pastries but these aren’t just any pastries are they? I find myself going 5-7 miles out of the way JUST to get a bowl of oatmeal from here 2-3 days out of the week and I don’t regret it one bit. I’m going to have to learn how to perfect my own oatmeal but until then I will happily splurge on theirs (I get brown sugar, pecans, and craisins on mine) and get the occasional piece of deep dish gooey butter cake for my daughter and I to snack on all week or the soup when a flavor catches my eye.I’ve not had a bad item off the menu yet and don’t imagine I ever will. Love the new updates too.

The egg and walnut pesto crossiant sandwich was spectacular. Have been dreaming about it for 2 weeks. Wish the location was larger but very happy it's back open. YUM.

The salad had way too much Parmesan on it. I was struggling to find the lettuce in the sea of Parmesan cheese they provided us.

Great food and service. There are plenty of tables. Very clean. Easy access and parking.
