If I ever move away from St. Louis, Shameless Grounds would definitely be one of the places I miss most. Yes, they serve up great food (the pulled pork nachos are thee best) and awesome drinks (and even indulge me with an extra large glass to mix my red wine with Coke), but they really serve as a place of connection, and education, offering community, and inclusivity. A place for artists to display their art of various mediums, gamers to play games, tons of books and DVD's, in addition to the condoms, lube, and information on just about anything and everything. This is one of those places that just feels welcoming and comfortable.
Awesome sex positive coffee shop. The food is really yummy and well portioned. Really pretty patio with lots of shade. The brownies are some of the best I've ever had! So much chocolate. Good variety of food and drink, including good local beer.
I came here to check out a new coffee shop with a unique vibe. I ordered an iced caramel latte and a gooey butter cake. The interior is so cozy and inviting. I would love to come here next time, just hang out with my laptop and lounge. The staff was super friendly, and I got my order in mere minutes! If you're looking for a new coffee shop in town, I highly recommend this coffee shop. It passed my vibe check.
There is also a backyard area, but I never got to check it since it was pouring when I stopped at this coffee shop.
Diverse, inclusive, spontaneous, wicked friendly, a safe space.
This coffee shop has more character than 6 books put together. The staff is amazing and really kind. The coffee is mind sharpening blissful and their food will make your belly do the happy dance.
Stop in, you'll love it!
(They also have sprinkles, THIS IS SO IMPORTANT TO A BALANCED LIFE!)
I LOVE Shameless Grounds. The queer-friendly and sex-positive atmosphere makes for a refreshing escape from the standard heteronormative cafe environment. The food is absolutely delicious, I particularly recommend the brownie for chocolate lovers, but their breakfast bowls are my favorite.
Food is delicious, atmosphere is validating, staff are compassionate, and there's a library of good resources for safety and stuff. Lewd? Yeah. Safe? Absolutely. This is a safe harbor location to the max.
The food is really good with great vegetarian/vegan options. The chai tea is delicious. The library has a lot of interesting book. Great place, highly recommend!
Fun staff and a community atmosphere. Feels like part of the neighborhood. Love the themed drinks and employee art
Shameless is my go-to cafe for brunch, coffee, and a good atmosphere. The menu has a great variety of food (though I normally stick with the "Morning Woodstocker" or "Lumberjacker"), the coffee is satisfying, and the staff are always kind. Great place for reflection and connection 😄
Oh! And I love the brownies and zucchini bread they serve.
COVID Update: They've been handling things well, no more bodies than the space can safely allow. And the outdoor enclosed patio seating has safely spaced-out tables.
Update 2: They're now allowing limited indoor seating, 1-hour at a time, and there's a set entrance door and an exit door. My favorite part about this update is that I can order bottomless coffee again 😅
Refreshingly irreverent and deliciously inclusive. No matter your eating preferences or dietary requirements, you can eat here. Their menu is very flexible and customizable and the vibe is wonderfully sexy (but in the queerest way). One of my favorite restaurants in the city by far.
I really like the feel and direction of this place. The reverse cow girl salad was alright. The gooey butter cake was really good.
Shameless is a great place for a sit down and some food/coffee/conversation. There's a good selection of drinks, cocktails, and food. They're welcoming to all walks of life and quirkiness...
