Pink Willow Café - Cottleville, Missouri

What a CUTE spot! Perfect for smaller groups for Breakfast, Brunch or Lunch with a fantastic Food & Drink Menu! Inside AND small patio out front are decorated beyond belief. Staff was super friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend joining the waitlist online prior to showing up! Service was outstanding also, it’s a very efficient restaurant experience. Our small group ordered a lot of different things off both the food and drink menu and everything was delicious.

Came in around 9 on a Saturday, it was busy, but it’s a very small place so no excuse to why the food wasn’t good. First, on the kids meal, they offer fries as a side for breakfast only to be told that fries aren’t served til after 11. My daughter ordered sausage and it was burnt on the outside but not cooked through on the inside (see pic). My biscuit was burnt and flavorless, even with butter. The place was uncomfortably small, not to mention over priced for the quality of food they are serving. Sadly we will not be returning.

The cutest cafe! Friendly staff, great service, amazing food and coffee. They have a kids menu and provide crayons to keep the littles occupied. I’m not sure how this place doesn’t have 5 stars! Will be back again and look forward to bringing out of town family here for a great experience!

Our first impression of Pink Willow was great. It’s a cool little place. Interesting food, Adult Grilled Cheese, and side choices. I recommend the premium side of Brûléed Grapefruit. I also had a tasty London Fog to drink. It’s their first week and lots of people checking it out so definitely use the no wait app on the website. Madison and Sara helped us and were very helpful and personable. If you want the full breakfast menu go before 11am. We live close by and will be Back often.

✨What we ordered: The fried egg sandwich(subbed the fried egg for a scrambled egg and added the sausage gravy on the side), Avocado Toast, The sunrise hash bowl (subbed sweet potatoes for regular potatoes), and the French toast.

✨Would I go again: I honestly don’t know what I was expecting but the food surpassed all of my expectations! The sausage gravy was some of the best I’ve ever had and it was so delicious on the potatoes (and on the breakfast sandwich). All food items are $16 and under which is amazing for the amount of food you get! The cafe is quite small and reservations are accepted up to 72h in advance, otherwise you can add your name to the waitlist on their site or be prepared to wait.

Everything was delicious! My only suggestion would be to get there early! We put ourselves in the wait list at 11:20 and weren’t seated until almost 1:00 and they were out of some things. I will definitely go back for an early breakfast!

Brand new restaurant with breakfast/lunch/coffee/tea/cocktails (I sampled breakfast on this visit). Personable staff, great outdoor patio! I hope some patio heaters make an appearance because the mornings can be a bit chilly! This restaurant is in high demand so expect a wait although there is an online waitlist to join so the wait time was not too bad. I plan on coming back to sample some things on the lunch menu!

We showed up around 12:30 for brunch.
*** you can join the Waitlist from their website. Doing this saved us from waiting 30+ minutes. There’s a few items for breakfast that are not available for brunch after 11am. Cute restaurant with limited seating with friendly and helpful staff. The server uses a handheld device to enter orders and for guests to pay their check. This helps a lot with their efficiency. Ordered the avocado toast and it was smothered with avocado which was great. I liked the pickled onions. Really enjoyed it. There’s plenty of street parking around the restaurant.

Super friendly service and adorable little cafe! We came for brunch and enjoyed the adult grilled cheese and Cottleville chicken sammie with rosemary potatoes. 😋😋😋. The chocolate croissant was soft and warm and after eyeing nearby tables we grabbed a massive cinnamon roll to go. Highly recommend!

Pink Willow Cafe is brunch heaven in the heart of Cottleville! This place is so worth the hype—be sure to hop on the waitlist early because it fills up fast.

The cocktails alone are worth the visit. We had a seasonal spritz (light and refreshing) and the Pink Willow French 75, which had a floral, citrusy twist that I’m still thinking about. The food was just as fabulous: I had the Breakfast Sandwich on Sourdough (eggs, bacon, melty goodness), and my friend had the Adult Grilled Cheese with bacon, apple, and gooey cheese on perfectly crisp bread.

Charming vibe, fantastic service, and flavors that hit every time.
