I went with a friend for Saturday brunch. I ordered the biscuit and sausage gravy with eggs on top and a side of fruit and a horchata latte. My friend ordered the breakfast burrito & a chai latte. Our drinks were very good. The food was also good besides the biscuit being slightly too thick/dry. When we realized they were closing, we gathered up our stuff and asked for two waters to go. The barista did not receive this request well, but begrudgingly poured water into two cups.

The food was soo good. My first time having and hearing of a financier. Boy was that good! Had to go back for more and they sold out! Very good food. The cashier was kind and helpful. The inside is cozy and small but the patio was huge. It gave me NOLA vibes. My latte was fantastic.. Salted Maple I think? It was seasonal and delicious. I look forward to my next visit!

Great vibes and fun and funky atmosphere. The Mud House never disappoints with its top notch h service and fantastic coffee. Great quick breakfast and coffee. I will always come to Mud every visit to St. Louis.

Review Visit: November 7th, 2018 A synonym is when two words have similar meaning. A synonym for coffee for example, would be mud or dirt or joe. So, having a place called The Mud House, while odd-sounding, is fitting. A delicious cup of whatever-you-want-to-call-it can be had anywhere. But, is The Mud House a home for delicious coffee? After departing super early for a day of exploring St. Louis, I told myself I would hold off on coffee until I made it there. Checking my list of coffee shops to visit, I decided to try The Mud House as it had stellar reviews and tantalizing photos. So, I punched the address into my GPS and hit the road. As I got into the city and was nearing my destination, the area started to look familiar. Come to realize, I had previously been here when I tried out Shameless Grounds a few years ago before a Dream Theater concert. Actually, right around the corner from Shameless is a really beautiful area and that is where The Mud House is. The combination of trees shedding their leaves and a historic area is a mix I can get behind. Upon approaching, I could tell this place was a hit. There were a lot of people sitting outside, enjoying a warm drink on a cool autumn weather. As I neared the front door, I could hear the bustle of people inside and see through the front door that it was packed. Luckily, I was hitting the tail-end of a lunch rush, so I was able to look over the menu without worrying about a line forming behind me and then also place an order at my leisure. While placing an order for an iced caramel latte, I started talking to the barista and mentioned I was in town to see Coheed and Cambria. He was surprised to hear that as his friend's band was opening for them. (That band is called 'Maps and Atlases', by the way.) After placing an order, they gave me a 'human-faced/dog head' instead of a number and said they would bring my drink out to the table. It seems they use goofy animal heads for bringing out orders instead of numbers. I took some candid photos with it while sitting at my table. Speaking of sitting at a table, the place was still packed for lunch, so I had to sit down with a complete stranger, which thankfully they were ok with. I made small talk with them and the table next to us. I think it was all our first time there, because we kept joking about the animal heads and how goofy-fun it was that they used them. Upon delivery of my drink, I moved quick to consume it as the afternoon crash was about to hit and I wanted to veer it off with some mud. My first sip was a shock. Very bitter and thick. The drink had a consistency of chocolate milk, which is a first for me, as these drinks tend to be more watery. But, after a few sips, it went from shocking bitter to delectably yummy. I ended up really liking the drink by the time I was halfway through. I just regret getting the normal size and not the large. While I was sitting there, I watched them serve food to the tables around me. All those meals looked absolutely ravishing. I normally just get coffee at places like this, but I am starting to realize I need to try their food as well, as most places seem to have a delicious-looking menu. Not only that but this place, like many others, had a tantalizing array of baked goods, which you can see in a photo below. Someday I will cave in and devour one of those massive cookies at a coffee shop. As for the feel of the coffee shop, it was cozy but eclectic. I didn't get a good feel for how the place was since it was packed with people, but it's definitely a unique place based on the random stuff they have hanging up. While I am sure St. Louis has no shortages of coffee shops and I will eventually try them all, I can safely say that if I need a good cup of mud, I know where to go.

Delectable and fast but healthy. I highly recommend the English Breakfast. The service is sweet and available but not pushy, the ambiance is calm and cozy and I'll be back!!

Came here for brunch on a Sunday morning. There was a small line but it moved very quickly. Had the oat milk horchata latte - was incredible! Also ordered the apple scone (tasty) and the mud slinger breakfast - it was excellent, the black bean chili elevates it. The food/drink was all delicious, the only negative might be that the space is a bit small so tables feel a little tight if you choose to sit indoors (it was cold out!). But still recommend checking out. I will for sure be back.

To die for! This is on the top of my breakfast spot list. The service is consistently stellar, the food is to die for and love all of the indoor and outdoor door seating. It does get busy but it is worth the wait. Recently tried something new because I am such a die hard for the French toast but I think my new go to may be the avocado toast and the biscuits and gravy. Always accompany my mains with the side of bacon + spuds. You will not be disappointed.

When in Saint Louis last week I tried a few new places, but one big recommendation worthy of a share. I will first highlight the area where the Mud House is located. Benton Park is a true gem in Saint Louis. The neighborhood is a mix of 1800 homes, antique shops & art galleries. They even have a vintage record shop, Dead Wax Records. Just weeks ago they had a street fair. Some of the early residents were likely employed by Anheuser Busch that's nearby. The exterior two story turn of the century brick structure is well maintained. Signage is a bit tough as it's only in their window. Parking is off street. I felt safe during the day. I enjoyed on a weekday brunch with my son. The building on the corner of Cherokee & Illinois is a late 1800 to early 1900 charmer. It appears to have always been a business, possibly a grocery. Order is by walk up with menu boards displayed. The staff happily answered questions for me and smiled. This was a fantastic start. After a bit of debate i went with a favorite dish biscuits and gravy. The Mud House offers a comfortable hip, friendly vibe with everything scratch. The seating is somewhat limited and there are a few tables outside. Everything was clean. My biscuits & gravy was the best take on the dish I've ever had with a hint of Sherry. The coffee was solid as well. A place I totally would return to and encourage others to give a shot.

I was impressed by the long line but efficient ordering. I was in and out of there in 30 short minutes. I enjoyed the dining experience as the natural light made for a great environment to enjoy coffee and great company. The American Breakfast was not enough to make you feel stuffed but enough to feel like you ate a balanced meal. Each time met expectations and nothing was left behind. I recommend if you are looking for breakfast with a flair.
