I love a good brunch on occasion, and I’m pleased to announce that Rooster provides a truly excellent one within walking distance of many downtown St. Louis hotels and attractions.  This charming cafe specializes in crepes and mimosas served in a no-frills, brightly-colored dining room.

Here’s a view of the room we ate in.  There was no one there when we arrived at 8:30 a.m. but the place rapidly filled up!  Another seating space has a giant rooster painted on the wall, hence the name. 

I picked a S’mores crepe with a side of bacon.  It was AMAAAAZING – a perfect blend of chocolatey, marshmallowy goodness with the crepe itself substituting for the graham crackers.  The bacon was perfectly cooked. 

  The hubby opted for a savory crepe – bacon with baby arugula & carmelized onions.  The flavor combination was interesting but I think he was jealous of my sinful dessert crepe as he said he would opt for sweet instead of salty on a future visit.  Other sweet options included Nutella, roasted apple, and peanut butter cup (yum!). 

We were in and out of Rooster in about 30 minutes, which was important because we had a full day of sightseeing.  Our total bill with sodas was under $20.00 for two.  Overall, this St. Louis eatery is highly recommended!
