Forest Perk Cafe
5595 Grand Dr, Clayton, MO
Crema's Take
“Tucked inside the Forest Park Visitor's Center, Forest Perk Cafe is a genuine neighborhood gem where the coffee comes with free refills and the egg and cheese biscuits are so good they've converted skeptics into regulars. The lemon cranberry muffins are made with real lemons rather than zest, and the friendly staff genuinely want you to discover your new favorite treat—whether that's a fresh deli sandwich or pastry. It's the kind of place where cyclists stop in after rides through the park, families linger on weekend mornings, and the bustling foot traffic of park visitors creates a lively, welcoming atmosphere.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, quick-grab, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

The lemon cranberry muffin used lemons instead of lemon zest - very yummy
The egg & cheese biscuit is phenomenal! I was skeptical at first, but the friendly employee convinced me to give it a try and now I'm hooked on them. A great treat on the weekend after a walk or run in Forest Park.
We sometimes bike from Central West End to the museum on a weekend morning, and get coffee here. I think the coffee is great, and so are the muffins. They have sandwiches, but I never tried them. There is seating outside, and bike racks.

Firstly, I'm happy to report that exterior walls and windows of Forest Perk are strong enough to withstand May's frequent tornadic activity; I had to shelter in place while I was studying there. This leads me to my second point; Forest Perk is a great place to study. Despite…
