  Incredible flavors bursting from dishes featuring ingredients from across the globe. Their main focus is breakfast but they do offer dinner on Sundays, Mondays, and Fridays. The staff is very friendly, space is clean and nicely decorated.

  Such a cozy and cute breakfast spot! Cute art work, dishwater, great presentation, fresh ingredients, and some authentic Scandinavian-based breakfast-fare! Thank you for the great food, bottomless coffee, and spectacular service from our server Bobbi!

  I visited Milque Toast on a Saturday morning at about eight o’clock and found myself quite alone in a dining room that was bright, polished, and faintly reverential in its quiet. Other reviewers have remarked on the building itself, and rightly so: a carefully restored older St. Louis structure, lending the place a sense of seriousness and intention before one has even opened the menu. I was greeted promptly and kindly by my waitress, whose warm kindness never wavered. The menu, however, was notably smaller than the one described on their website, which speaks of a globally inspired approach using thoughtful, local ingredients. What was offered that morning leaned more restrained than expansive, though not without merit. I ordered the eggs en cocotte with a side of bacon and an espresso, adding two additional eggs to meet my own dietary requirements. The espresso arrived first and, regrettably, was quite poor. To be fair, coffee does not appear to be the house’s primary concern; I noticed no dedicated espresso equipment, and one suspects it is included more by expectation than by conviction. The main dish arrived shortly thereafter and immediately redeemed the experience. It was beautifully presented and deeply aromatic. The eggs rested in a rich bath of cream and herbs, through which the sharpness of local cheddar cut with admirable confidence. It tasted exactly as it looked: carefully composed and clearly loved. Someone, somewhere in that kitchen, cared very much about this dish. I confess that my enthusiasm for additional eggs exceeded my capacity to finish them, a fact I admit with some embarrassment. The bacon, unfortunately, was burnt. It was edible, but joyless, and stood in unflattering contrast to the care shown elsewhere—though I acknowledge that many diners prefer it precisely so. After a few pleasant words with my host, including sincere compliments and an unnecessary apology for my unfinished plate, I settled my bill and departed. The meal came to $38, owing in part to the additional eggs. This is not a complaint, merely an observation. Would I return? Possibly. I would be interested to see the menu broaden, particularly in the direction of the global inspiration promised online. What I ate was very good, but felt more narrowly focused than advertised. I think I would return, if only to see what lunch might offer.
