Fiddlehead Fern Cafe
4066 Russell Blvd, St. Louis, MO
Crema's Take
“Fiddlehead Fern Café is a thoughtfully run neighborhood spot where the owner genuinely engages with customers about coffee sourcing, and the espresso and pour-over drinks are crafted with real care—their horchata coffee strikes that elusive balance between sweet and strong that so many places miss. Beyond the excellent coffee, you'll find yourself lingering over standout dishes like their vegan Pompeia salad and appealing pastries, making it equally suited for a solo laptop session or catching up with friends.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu.

Delicious breakfast, healthy, flavorful, and such an artful presentation! The environment is very calm and friendly. I love the outdoor patio under the shady tree. I feel so rejuvenated. Definitely coming back!

It's a great place to meet friends or get some work done, and I love their patio area when it's nice out. Their food/ baked goods are just alright nothing special. And the coffee is terrible. It's always SO bitter. The lattes you get hardly have any flavor, so I'd say if you're…
I gave a new coffee place a shot and it was just awful. My usual place usually fills the whole cup with yogurt or at least half… felt this was a rip off for what I paid. Also looked at the bottom of the cup, and it’s a week old… I ordered a vanilla lavender coffee, but tasted…
Had the most delicious salad ever! It's called the Pompeia. The best part - it was vegan! The bakery items looked amazing, but I'm trying to diet. 😉 It was my first visit, but, I'll definitely be back.
