Ivy Cafe

A unique twist in cuisine, in the heart of Clayton. Didn’t know what to expect until I got my food and wasn’t disappointed. Ivy is very clean fun, with great positive energy. Try the Alamo if you’re looking for a great flavor that combines avocado, grilled shrimp and Pomegranate.

Love this place! Celebrated a birthday with a cute breakfast turned brunch. The drinks were delicious. The ambience to die for. It is completely IG/TicTok worthy. And the staff was so incredibly nice. Our waiter was outstanding. Probably some of the best genuine service I’ve ever received. I wish I could remember his name to give him his credit. I only deducted a star because they were out of the ingredients dish my friend wanted and the bacon and cheese potatoes were a bit over charred. But overall the food was delicious.

I just got a latte w oat milk and banana bread but everything has great flavor. The latte had a nice tasting coffee.
The banana bread was a little chewy but again, flavor was excellent. I should’ve asked if they could heat it up. I got this all to go.

I definitely want to try the food. Menu looks cool.

AMAZING Cafe in the heart of Clayton. Ivy Cafe has it all and something for everyone. I love how they evolve what they do throughout the day. Sourdough is one of their signature ingredients baked fresh daily and whether you have it in the morning as French Toast or a Breakfast Sandwich or for lunch/dinner as a tartine you will not be disappointed. Their coffee menu is outstanding and come evening time they have the best cocktails. Having checked the box for food and service - they went a step further curating the most beautiful and fun service ware. Check out the pics of some of their cocktail glasses as well as the plates, bowls and mugs they use. I asked the owner about this and she was so proud to tell me she had the bowls and mugs made just for Ivy's. Prices are very reasonable which makes Ivy's a must visit place.

Wonderful little understated cafe! Went for dinner on two occasions. Creative and very tasty food. Terrific service. The cafe is pretty small, with only about 10 tables so make a reservation. The vegetarian dishes were amazing, especially the eggplant. Another cool thing about Cafe Ivy is that they have a full coffee/espresso setup for excellent after dinner coffees.

Ok so here’s a full review! Ivy is a beautiful space that you can definitely tell is created to making you feel serene, relaxed, and cozy inside. Every latte is unique and delicious. The food is so fresh, as if everything on your plate was picked from a backyard garden. I personally had the Fern Tartine, a vegan option it was GOOD. The staff is attentive in every way. All working together to make sure my friends and I didn’t miss a thing we needed. The art in Ivy let’s you know the owner is intentional with every detail. We had the pleasure of meeting the owner Julie who was so kind, accommodating, and just a beautiful person! She made sure we were taken care of and shared with us details about the hand made mugs we were drinking out of and how many things around us were produced and created by women! So inspiring! We’ll definitely be back! 🥰

What a great place!!! I’m in love!!! I ordered four different tartines and they were all phenomenal. I also ordered a matcha drink which was divine; the atmosphere is so chic & my service was great! I’ll definitely be back. I ended up checking out the local items for sale and purchased a few natural drops which I’ve also fallen in love with and actually went back to purchase more because I ended up loving the drops that much. I can’t say enough great things about this beautiful place. Must try!!! 10 out of 10 for me!!!

Ivy Cafe in Clayton came in hot during the Yelp Elite event. Their inclusion in Yelp's Top 25 Places to Drink in STL is well-deserved. The handcrafted and locally sourced offerings, from the pumpkin spiced espresso martini to the delightful cheese plate and salmon skewers, showcase their commitment to unique and healthy dining experiences. Highly recommended!

This is probably my favorite cafe ever. I just love the ambiance and the sweet staff. The food is absolutely delicious without fail. (I highly recommend getting the sourdough pancakes with peanut butter and banana!) The white mocha is also delightful and the best latte I’ve ever had. I’ll keep going here again and again! ☕ 🌿

First time in Ivy Cafe and YOU have to go! It’s the cutest little spot with amazing food. The Pumpkin latte is to die for! The service we received was so amazing and we will definitely be back again. They made us feel welcomed and gave us an amazing experience. I love that I left breakfast feeling full and energized and not weighed down. The owner is absolutely adorable and even made the plates they serve the food on herself!

I hosted a coffee and connections event here and everything went so smoothly. Julie and her staff were accommodating and friendly; I'm still getting emails about how wonderful the place was. The atmosphere was quaint, and the food was delicious. So much better than a chain coffee place! Highly recommend for a coffee or dinner date.

Beautiful cafe. We loved the homemade sourdough. The breakfast sandwich needed smashed avocado and feta making a beautiful plate! I ate the dish as two open faced sandwiches. One with avocado and feta and the other half with the sausage (Jimmy Dean??) cheddar and runny over easy eggs!

Don't forget to get the Carmel Americano! House made syrups are addicting.

Entrees were delicious and so beautiful. I wasn’t sure how big they would be but it was surprisingly very filling. The option with steak had a lot of meat on it but the shrimp toast only had 4 little pieces which was disappointing. The Parmesan truffle fries were just okay
Great selection of drinks. About four tables available to sit outside

Warm and relaxed atmosphere. Great food! Great drinks! Great service! The Maple Bacon Old Fashioned is the bomb. We also enjoyed the St. Germain Champs and Ivy Old Fashioned. Small plates consisted of Shrimp and Pomegranate salad, Bacon Wrapped Jumbo Shrimp, and Rustic Lamb Pie. All delish!! We highly recommend and will definitely be back.

My companion and I absolutely adored this beautiful café. Every single thing we had to eat tasted heavenly by our standards! My companion loves tomatoes so he got caught “The Brentwood” tartine, which I tasted as well, and it was delicious. I personally got the salmon salad, which, as a salad eater, I can say is one of the best salads I’ve ever had. It wasn’t your boring usual vinaigrette salad but it had a lot of added, harmonic flavors with feta cheese, capers, dill weed, and more. We also ordered a hash brown on the side which we considered (even with the steep price of +$5), was absolutely worth it, savory and delicious.
We did not get coffee this time as we had already had some coffee that day but we definitely want to come back and try coffee as well as more menu items!
The adorable house plant aesthetic was pleasing and I believe this restaurant would be a perfect destination for any occasion.
With the friendly service to add, we have ourselves a real winner that we will definitely be revisiting.

I’m so happy to have found this cute and amazing cafe! It is always packed on the weekend which just shows how great the food is! Fresh sourdough and all of the syrups they use in their coffees are made in house! Everything about it gives fun New York city vibes

This place is so so cute- decor is so unique and modern!! I’m a regular at Ivy, and every time I go I’m greeted with a smile.

The service is quick, warm, and efficient. Drinks are unique and delicious, I had the espresso martini flight which was to DIE for.

Ended up having the seabass for dinner and love love loved the tomato jam. Fish tasted super fresh and was perfectly cooked. Finished up my meal with a light but rich chocolate mousse- do yourself a favor and hit up Ivy Cafe!

Really nice, fresh breakfast today - there were four of us and my faithful pooch, Minnie, and we all had a meal. I had "The Cromwell" with morel mushrooms - really tasty. I was surprised to see morels on the menu still, so I had to get that one. The coffee came in a French press. Service and food was excellent.

I had the beef Wellington and some cocktails. The food was great. Sydney was my server, very charming. Would love to go again.

The atmosphere was so beautiful and cozy, and the food was great! I had the Washington Tartine (the scrambled eggs on it were excellent), and tried a bite of the sourdough pancakes my friend had. Both were wonderful, and the real maple syrup was a nice touch. It's the perfect place for brunch with a friend or a date. The smoked salted honey latte was good, though next time I'll ask for extra syrup because the smoked honey flavor was hard to notice. I would not recommend the caramel latte, but everything else was so good it made up for it. The service was attentive but not overbearing, and everyone was very friendly and helpful. It was easy to get a table at 10 am on a Saturday, but I have a feeling that will become more difficult because this place will get popular as more people find out about it. I will definitely be back and introduce this place to more people!
