Consistently delicious, flavorful breakfast sandwich with variety of snacks and mix of hot/cold drink options. Usually fan of mcmainstay sandwich. Food and specialty drinks $$. Staff super friendly. Some seating inside and outside (covered).

Mainstay is an excellent addition to the Denny neighborhood! I was pressed for time today, but wanted to try one of their veggie breakfast sandwiches with gluten free biscuit, so I placed an order online for pickup. The sandwich was ready in 10 minutes and pickup was a breeze! Love the atmosphere inside - I'll definitely be frequenting this place during the week when I'm in-office.

One of the best brunch places has opened in SLU! Tried their seasonal drink, spiced pear latte with oatmilk. And, it's a fun divergence from the typical pumpkin spice latte. Can't wait to try their menu one by one

Beautiful spot for coffee, lunch, and happy hour bites. They have a cute little market with local/small business goods and lots of wine. There's also a refrigerated wall with charcuterie, pizza-making, and pasta-making items. I only tried their chai latte (which was too sweet and not spicy enough for my preference), but I'm looking forward visiting again! If they add a safe spot to hook dog leashes to, I'll likely visit more often.

Salad was tasty - a bit too sweet for me but not bad. Their manu price is wrong and lower than actual, so clarify the price when you order.

I've been here twice for lunch and will happily return in the future. Service was great, food was fresh and didn't take too long. The pizza crust was a bit chewy but the perfect thickness and sauce/cheese had great flavor. Half chicken was nice and moist, cooked well. Mac n cheese was the perfect noodle consistency and cheese was good. The Reuben sandwich overall tasted great, but the ratio of meat to kraut should have been swapped. So glad to have this location a short walk from the office!
