Cafe Ventana

Adjacent to St. Louis university campus, I found Cafe Ventana. Being a student and centrally located to my housing, I gave it a try. A great combo coffee house and DELICIOUS SOFT MEALS. AWESOME

Love this cafe . Great food - as a coffee snob, I'll say that there is better coffee around, but the ambiance, food, pastries , and everything else is on point. Certainly worth checking out.

Best beignets in town . The food is great too. Solid options for vegetarians , not so much for vegans . Veggie omelette was tasty and filling.

This place is awesome! My favorite place to study in stl. Internet can be a little sketchy at times but the environment, decor, music , great coffee etc etc etc totally make up for it. Love it!

Sure, you can caffeinate at Cafe Ventana, but you can also brunch , booze and stave off boredom with trivia , movie nights and live music . Read more

Here you can have a light lunch of excellent lobster bisque , sip a cappuccino while you study for the LSAT or even blot out a bad day with real-deal absinthe .http://bit.ly/16vE80T

Rosemary 's Baby is just...oh, my. So so so good (rosemary + honey ), and the blueberry muffin is the best I've found anywhere.

Love this place, except WiFi sucks (just won't load some sites). Food, coffee , and atmosphere are great, just not a place I can get actual work done. Great for relaxing though.

Go out of my way to come here when I'm in the area. Great food selections but they're always out of stuff. Service is slow but the coffee 's worth it.

One of the best coffee , breakfast , lunch , date, study , patio , and live music joints in all of STL.

As everyone says, DO get a beignet , chocolate required. The Mexican beignet w/ the Mexican hot chocolate is tasty. Greek salad is very good. Signature crab cakes are unique and great.

Large patio out back and a second, quieter dining area perfect for meetings or working.

Pay attention to what you buy. Stuff adds up quicker than it should. Can you say overpriced?? Still good stuff though. Also, check out the Yelp check-in to get free beignets when you order $10 or more

We love CV because the generously donate meeting space in their Think Tank to the board of Magdalene St. Louis. Thank you!!!

Go in the 2nd building and work in one of the "Think Tanks ". It's quiet , and the solitude will help you get stuff done more.

One of my favorite spots in St. Louis. Their beignets are great. Good place to work or spend a rainy day. Read more

For a St. Louis twist on New Orleans style beignets , visit Cafe Ventana!

Saturdays and Sundays order the biscuits and gravy . It's out of this world. (If it isn't listed on the menu just ask)

Their lattes are excellent, as are their bakery goods!

Check out the patio in the back! Great coffee an place to study .

Check out the walkway and little table in between the two sections. Quaint. My hamster loved it.

They have some really cool lattes , but the actual prep is hit or miss. Sometimes they're fabulous... Sometimes not. Great food, though!

Go to Cafe Ventana and get their delicious beignets . Also, perfect place to sit and read. They have uber comfortable leather chairs in front of the fire place. Try to not fall asleep because they are Read more

Good study spot , but the WiFi will periodically kick you off if you're using a VPN.

The lobster bisque is surprisingly good. Nice buttery after taste.

The food is extra regular, but it's a great quiet place to study .

No lie: after the apple & Brie grilled sandwich , I had a gall bladder attack & went to the hospital for surgery. I don't necessarily blame the fatty delicious sandwich ...

The Milky Way Latte the best coffee drink of all coffees

Great atmosphere and good food. Who could ask for anything more?

Wonderful food and atmosphere right next to SLU's campus.

The chocolate beignets are out of control.

Beats BreadCo., hands down for great lunch at good price with easy access WiFi .

Beignets and coffee

I left my computer at Ventana. I called and the person who answered refused to go look, claiming that she was just back there and my computer wasn't there. Turns out it was. I won't be back.

take a chill pill, get a giant snicker-doodle latte and beignet or three :) mix it up with a chocolate one!

Great atmosphere, great coffee , great smoothies .

Curtis is super friendly !

Incredible Apple Brie sandwich !

Great place but the beignets are not the best

Chicory au lait was alright, but don't order the beignets if it's at all busy

I eat and study here at least weekly. It's always pretty crowded though.

Grab yourself a punch card!
