2Schae never disappoints! Perfect neighborhood gem run by two fabulous people, Lisa & Don! They made some small changes to the menu which made my breakfast selection harder. I chose the BLT egg sandwich. It sounds typical but theirs has Lisa's secret sauce plus avocado and other goodness. Bacon was cooked perfectly and lots of it. The flavors of everything was wonderful!

So here's the story. We decided to try this place on a Sunday for brunch. We noticed a sign on the door that said no indoor dining. They had six tables outside. Two of them were for two people. After our meal, I asked the waitress if they always had no indoor dining. She said no, it was because they were down to one chef and they felt they could not handle the volume. A few minutes later, the owner came by and said it was because St. Louis had the highest COVID rating(?) and they would have a tough time having everyone six feet apart. We thought the waitress' story was the best. Anyway he got the French toast and a side of bacon. I had the salmon everything bagel which came open face. We both agreed our food was delicious. There were a lot of people waiting for tables. Would I come back here? Yes, the food was very good but I would wait until the cooler weather. Sorry, no pictures because we were hungry.

Amazing hospitality and great food. It's so relaxing here and I wish I lived closer so i can enjoy the food and the hospitality more. The steamed green tea matcha was delicious! The salmon and bagel- AMAZING! The portion was big so i had to bring mine back to enjoy at lunch time. Not complaining tho!

Ordered breakfast by phone for pick up on Friday morning. Service was very accommodating with changes while ordering and took payment info over the phone. It was good that I ordered pick-up since all of their outdoor tables were already occupied. To be pandemic-safe, I picked up from the front of the building- and since the order only took about 15min, they knew who I was before I even had to introduce myself at the door. I signed for payment outside and they handed off the fully packaged meals, and off I went. Flavors for the eggs and French toast were excellent. Very filling, very hearty, very well seasoned and tasty. The whip cream didn't hold up well in the to go box with the hot French toast- they might be able to put whip cream and/or strawberries in a foam cup to help preserve coolness- but that may need to be tested. I wish the syrup had been real maple syrup, but it definitely had the high fructose flavor. The candies were a cute bonus to find at the bottom of the to go bag!

What a great find! It's a cute hole in the wall cafe! I was leaving from dropping my kids off and really wanted something good! I found this place and it did not disappoint! The man who was there I figure was the owner is so friendly and patient! I got a matcha latte with almond milk and a lox everything breakfast sandwich. Not only was everything so tasty but also affordable! They got my things out in no time! I would highly recommend them over Starbucks or Kaldis! Will certainly be going back!

A great little neighborhood eatery. They are small but the service is awesome! You get a feeling like you're in a local diner. I ordered French toast and a veggie scramble. Very tasty! Several menu items to pick from and you can order breakfast all day! In order to get to the restrooms you must step into the hall area of the building but it's still attached and not far..Just on the other side of the dining area.

What a fun spot tucked away in the lobby adjacent to an apartment building. The charm of the open kitchen concept and family run establishment as well as the various seating options make this feel like home instantly. You place your order at the front and then go sit and wait for them to bring you some magical fresh and flavorful food that was made right in front of you. If you blink you may miss it because the staff is so well organized they create French toast masterpieces and coffee concoctions that would amaze you and quickly! The space is perfect for a quick stop with friends or a more leisurely stay with a good book. You have a great space with great staff taking care of you for breakfast or lunch!

BREAKFAST REVIEW Just your neighborhood cafe with what feels like home cooking and good vibes. Nothing fancy but everything done right. It's run by the nicest couple of empty nesters who wanted to start their own cafe. They live in the neighborhood too and seem to know a lot of the people who stop in. I had the Southwest scramble and I shared an order of French toast with my friends. Both were similar to how I would cook at home and both were delicious. They have a pretty big menu, especially in the egg section, so you'll be able to find something that appeals to you. Prices are really reasonable too. I would definitely recommend you stop in!

#23 on The 25 Places to Eat in STL in 2017. That is according to the Yelp Blog and now that I have been, I couldn't agree more. This is a relatively small cafe, with a big personality. It definitely is a neighborhood spot, that welcomes outsiders with open arms. I left the neighborhood before 2Schae opened, but if I still lived directly across the street, I'd be here every morning. I was impressed that much. I knew about 2Schae, but thought it was just a "coffee shop". I had no idea that they had such an extensive menu for breakfast and lunch. The large variety of omelettes available, just blew my mind. In addition to all the ones that they create, you can also select your own ingredients and they'll make one specially for you. One of my favorite vegetables is Asparagus and I'm a fan of Goat Cheese. So when I saw them with bacon and sun dried tomatoes in the French Quarter Omelette, I knew that one was for me. It was a three egg omelette filled with small pencil stem asparagus, the most flavorful kind in my opinion and rich creamy Goat Cheese. The bacon was crisp and sun-dried tomatoes were cut into little strips. Great presentation and the four flavors blended together wonderfully. It was so huge, I brought half of it home is a true, "Doggie Bag" that is eco-friendly. The coffee they serve is Wildhorse, which is from a local vendor. I like it when a local business supports another. At their condiment counter, they offered both skim and half & half for those who need a little cream in their coffee. 2Schae is divided in to two sections, with an open working kitchen in the middle. On one side you have small tables and chairs and on the other is plush chairs and sofas and a counter in front of the window. Either side is relaxing and work friendly. Mr & Mrs Schaeffer (owners) are very hospitable and were thrilled to here that I came in because of the Yelp Top 25. Will I return? - Gotta try lunch.
