After seeing a booth from I Scream Cakes at the Saint Louis Fair Festival this past summer and trying a delicious vegan, gluten free, AND organic ice cream cone, I have been dying to visit their store and see what they have to offer! We were so excited to discover this local ice cream shop and enjoyed tasting their delicious treats! It was a fun end to a day of eating and walking around the Botanical Gardens!

We’ve heard about Lulu’s Local Eatery’s food truck being at some local events and have been meaning to try it for a couple years now! We only haven’t because it is a bit of a drive for us, but their recently opened store front is conveniently located only a couple of minutes from The Botanical Gardens, so we spent a nice day walking around at the gardens and trying some new food! It was the day after Thanksgiving so although we were stuffed we managed to eat at three different places! We were pleased by their use of many local and organic ingredients, and the variety of menu options including gluten free and vegetarian! We will definitely be back soon to try everything that we didn’t get this time around! (Miriam)

We have been meaning to go to YaYa’s for months now because we have heard so many raving reviews about their delicious and high quality food. My dad was out of town for the week so we took advantage of having a night with just the two of us. We enjoyed our relaxing date night out and got to spend time chatting with the manager and learning all about the restaurant and their mission. (Miriam)

A friend of mine suggested this restaurant when my husband and I joined them for dinner one night before a musical. She knew I liked organic food and thought I would enjoy it. She hit the target with her suggestion. My husband and I enjoyed the food and the prices. My husband is always “in a hurry,” so he loved the fast food nature of the restaurant. This is great food to go or when in a hurry, as well as when you want to linger and enjoy good quality food with family or friends. I have since been here a couple of times with my “girl” team, Hannah and Miriam and have enjoyed their quick, fresh food.

Knowing about our love for natural foods, a friend of ours introduced us to Prasinos after a positive dining experience there with her family. It was my last weekend home for the summer and we decided to stop there for lunch on our last girls day together. We spent time exploring downtown St. Charles and enjoyed a wonderful lunch.
