Fresh Gatherings Cafe + Farm

The food is delicious. The presentation is spectacular. I love how they support local businesses and farmers. Their compost program is cool to hear about. 10/10 always recommend this place for their daily lunch specials. Yes, it’s on a college campus, but that shouldn’t stop you from eating here.

I love the idea of fresh gatherings. The cute drinks, fancy food that I have never heard of, the environment, it all sounds great. And it is for the most part :) I will say that fresh food is definitely overpriced especially with the target demographic of college students but obviously you know that the students are gonna pay anyways either bc it’s daddy’s money, or they want food and it’s the only option on south campus. Either way, good for you for making that bank. Also, as much as I admire the boldness and creativeness, last year fresh definitely made a lot of their dishes worse because it felt like they tried to hard to take their own twist on the dishes and it wasn’t executed amazingly. Sometimes less is more ya know? But overall, love the drinks, love being there and that y’all always have good music playing, and when a dish is good at fresh, it’s GOOD. Also breakfast burritos >>> breakfast sandwich.

If you ask anyone on SLU’s campus, you are almost guaranteed to hear that their favorite on-campus dining option is Fresh Gatherings!! Fresh offers an incredible array of quick and delicious to-go items plus fresh pastries and coffee every day! There is truly no anticipation like waiting for the weekly hot lunch specials to drop, and no better place to eat, relax, and study with friends at!!! I love Fresh Gatherings & am endlessly in awe of the amazing student workers who keep it running!

I love fresh gatherings! The food is SO good and they always add a fun unique twist to each dish. I can always count of fresh gatherings for lunch, breakfast, or a snack before class. By far, my favorite place to eat on campus. The staff is so friendly too!! Overall a great experience every single time!

Fresh Gatherings is a really cute little cafe located in the Allied Health Building on SLU's medical campus. They always serve healthy dishes - typically with a veg option. Their salad bar is phenomenal and has something for everyone. All of their ingredients are local, and many actually come from their garden on site. The flavor and quality that results is unmatched. Recent renovations have brightened the dining area and provided a new fresh look (pun intended) and more seating. Their new coffee bar also looks incredible.
