Delicious fried “chicken” - Edit
My partner and I (who is not vegan) both had and loved the Maya Angelou bowl which is fried chicken (or cauli bites) with Mac n cheese and kale salad.
Read moreHuge portion, had to get some in takeaway container.
You seat yourself, order at counter, and help yourself to water and plastic forks (no knives). Is this an American thing plastic throwaway cutlery for eating in? Not nice to eat with, not to mention not environmentally friendly, and hard to eat with! You also need to take your dishes up to the rubbish/area where water is which I also find odd.
The delish food outweighs these odd things though

Worth It - Edit
Heard about this place on Netflix’s Fresh, Fried, and Crispy. It was one of my main reasons to visit STL and it does not disappoint. The Chikn is crispy and breaded to perfection. Don’t know how they do it but it really does taste just like chicken.
Read moreUpdate: returning 2 years later for dinner. The shiitake sandwich is incredible. The chips however are a bit salty and stale. Overall, still a great place though.

Highly recommend - Edit
We came here twice! The cupcakes and pastries we tried were all great. Came back for lunch. I had the Maya Angelou plate. I loved the kale salad and Mac. The breading on the “chicken” tenders was delicious. Ky husband got the daily special burger and fries. I wish they had one or two kid items, because the entres are a little pricey. But it was all delicious.

We just left and I am already salivating for more.
Read moreThe staff person was so kind and friendly. Always nice.
We sgtarted by splitting a pecan cinammon roll. Every bite was bliss.
Then I had the Maya Angelou plate, with chiken strips and mac n cheese. Perfection. I also had the buffalo sauce. I almost couldn't finish my plate.
Check out the restroom for contemplative quotes.
Eating here was like being in sanctuary.
Pros: Pecan cinnamon roll, Awesome choices, Super kind staff

Top-tier desserts - Edit
Everything I ordered was so good! The cinnamon bun was incredible. The Boston cream cupcake was delicious but a bit crumbly. I wish I’d had a chance to try their savory dishes as well.

Best cinnamon rolls ever - Edit
The pastries are where it’s at here. The big momma cinnamon roll is the best cinnamon roll I think I’ve ever had. Their coffee and regular food is just okay.

Everything has been fantastic!
Read moreI'm partial to the Zora Neal Hurston as someone who appreciates Eatonville, FL and Zora, but also because it's just damn delicious, but you can't go wrong.
The staff is friendly and the atmosphere has a great vibe.
I enjoy riding my bike there but parking nearby is usually not that bad. I'm always looking for another opportunity to go back for sweets or a meal.
Pros: The food is great, All the food is great, Friendly staff

Amazing amazing amazing- their cupcakes are a must!!! Never had better vegan frosting… My mom and I stopped in and she absolutely loved the hand breaded chicken sandwich, I got the sweet burger with a few extra add ons - I don’t think I’ve had a better house-made patty! Everyone there was so sweet and I loved the atmosphere too, empowering to say the least (:
