Antagonist Cafe — Restaurant in St. Louis

100%, A+++, 5 stars, please please please come on down and check this place out! It's so unique! The staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is just so darn cool. I love coming here to work! The way that they transformed the jail cells into something so fun and artistic is just so creative, this place has a lot of personality.

The coffee is also served in these cute little mugs if you dine in, which I haven't experienced anywhere else. The mugs are funny, and I've never had a repeat. My last one said "World's best grandma"

Also the barista Violet is just so darn nice, it'd be impossible to not feel welcome by her and the rest of their crew! She smiles at everyone, and is just so gosh darn friendly. Last time I was here I spilled my coffee over everything in sight, and she didn't hesitate before leaping into action and cleaning up the mess and offering me a new drink - all while being very happy and nice!

I'll definitely be back, and I hope you all pay a visit, this place...

My partner’s Italian soda was pretty bad; they only put a teeny drop of syrup in it. A La Croix has more flavor! Cinnamon roll was great and the decor and themes were fun but there are much better...

Wow! What a beautiful place! The owners have turned this into such a great little spot for coffee and baked goods. All of the baked goods are amazing as well! The baker they have working for them is stellar and everything is delicious! Coffee was great. Ben, the GM, was super friendly and approachable. I cannot wait to see what Pieces looks like when they open it over there in a few weeks! They roast their own coffee in house and have an amazing full menu of pastries and delicious coffee drinks. The vibes are immaculate, decor is not overwhelming, but cozy and...
