Cafe Nova
5611 S Kingshighway Blvd, St. Louis, MO
Crema's Take
“This spacious St. Louis spot excels at creating the perfect third-place atmosphere, with a beautiful patio ideal for lingering over coffee or lunch and plenty of room to spread out with a laptop. While reviews are mixed on the food itself, visitors consistently praise the welcoming vibe and generous layout, making it a solid choice for those seeking a comfortable spot to work, meet friends, or simply enjoy a cool evening outdoors. The traditional menu offers satisfying comfort food like their popular Grilled Chicken plate, though you might want to call ahead given occasional service inconsistencies.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings.

My daughter and I stopped by Cafe Nova for lunch after finishing an AC service call just down the street, and we’re glad we did. We started with the hummus and then each ordered a gyro. I had the Nova Gyro, and my daughter had the Chicken Gyro. The portions were very generous,…
The service was very good, they was there to take care of us every step.. The atmosphere was excellent, the out door vibe in the evening was nice. The food was delicious, my chicken was a lil over cooked but it was still good
