Anita Café — Restaurant in St. Louis

Anita's is a great atmospheric environment! Live plants, clean, beautiful, simple decor, huge windows, chandeliers, really cute chairs and tables. Oh and the food & drinks were amazing!

Now I must be honest to say of the 3 things we ordered 1 was not up to par. I can understand being out of something but informing the customer of substitution prior to should be communicated. Batata w bayd that we ordered was not in accordance to the menu description.

The other components of our meal were flavorful and top notch! Zaatar toast was bursting with flavor and the sourdough held it all together with the needed crunch!

Drinks... yes I went at 9am but don't judge me I had a cocktail and the Krystal was refreshing and a wonderful compliment to my meal. Think sassy mimosas!

Ok now in my humble opinion I can totally see this place getting the best sophisticated nite life! I can see it with poetry events, business meet and greets, birthday parties, wine tastings, "brunch and business cards" aka networking event , etc. However, I'm not sure if they are open for events but they should to showcase this lovely space.

Walked in the door “barista” rushed to the door as we walked in can I help you? Yes do you sell bags of beans? “What”? -I asked again “bags of beans” she looked at me like I had 2 heads..

Never been to a coffee shop where a so called barista didn’t know what a bag of beans are. #2 RUDE RUDE RUDE PERSON. #3 denying service to go 12 minutes before closing totally unacceptable. ..Walked 3 minutes down the street to Catalyst Coffee Bar, he didn’t have any beans to sell but he knew what they were lol …and served us 2 to go cups 5 minutes before closing was friendly and talkative and excellent coffee. AVOID ANITA CAFE...

We had a great breakfast at Anita Cafe & Bar! Anita was so kind and we really enjoyed chatting with her during our visit. She even let two kids sitting near us decorate the restaurant’s chalkboard for fun while they dined. The cafe was spacious and beautifully decorated and we could tell every little detail was intentionally selected and really added to the experience. The coffee menu was classic offerings and it was our first experience with Turkish coffee, the cappuccino was great and didn’t need sweetener, the coffee was great on its own. The food was SPECTACULAR - I got the picnic blanket toast and my husband got the rosehip oatmeal. Will definitely plan to be back and to try a happy hour, thanks for the...
