Lathrop House Cafe - Forest Park

Lovely place for a big breakfast. I had the Hot Tots (yummy tater tots) with eggs, jalapeño and cheese. The place is a little out of the way but I love that about it. It features parking, quiet space and good food. Will be returning and it's a favorite among so many others.

My fiance and I have been passing this place on our way to work for the last 2 years and this morning we finally had time to stop in. I had the vegan breakfast sandwich, and it was delicious!!!! I was surprised that it came with a side of potatoes and orange slices, as I'd assumed that would be an extra cost! Perfect portion sizes. The coffee is fresh ground made to order, and it tastes like it was made with a little extra love. I had a salted caramel latte with oatmilk, and he had a vanilla latte. We both loved it! The atmosphere is so cute. There's an upstairs lounge area with couches and a backyard with a stage for concerts! There is also a super cute patio set up in a heated tent. Our server was so sweet, I wish I had caught her name! We definitely plan to come back soon to try more food!!

My friend and I went to brunch at the Lathrop House Cafe. The food, service and atmosphere were great! They did post a sign with changes to their hours, due to staffing shortages. When we arrived there was a slight wait but we ordered coffee and took it upstairs to wait for our table. My friend ordered a frozen blended coffee, and I got an Americano. There were a lot of amazing menu items to choose from but we ended up both going with the tots that came with eggs, cheese, sausage gravy and jalapenos! We both were incredibly happy with our brunch The flavors of everything on top of the tots really went together well, we even shared a side of breakfast sausage and biscuits and gravy which we split and added to the last half of our meal to take home and have really amazing leftovers!We had a lot of food and we each only paid about $25 for going out to brunch which I think is an amazing price!

The service was great, and the outdoor space was nice. However, I was disappointed with the food. Felt bland and not appetizing. Didn't like my first dish, so I ordered something else, and I didn't enjoy thay either. We ended up leaving, and I've only ever done that once before. I am a huge breakfast place person but I don't think I will be returning here.

I used GrubHub to order 2 meals. The order arrived quicker then expected but unfortunately 1 of the meals was wrong. I contacted the business and the employee I spoke w/ was incredibly nice and understanding, she immediately offered to refund the cost of the meal that was made wrong. Within a few minutes I received confirmation she had did just that! Accidents happen but businesses arent always so kind and willing to correct their mistakes. I will be ordering again from Lathrop because of their commitment to customer service...oh and the food was great as well!!!
