Cevapi are small grilled beef-and-lamb sausages served in fluffy somun flatbread with raw onion and ajvar. They are the heart of St. Louis's large Bosnian food scene around Bevo Mill.

Cevapi arrived with the tens of thousands of Bosnian refugees who settled St. Louis in the 1990s, building the largest Bosnian community outside Bosnia. Centred on Bevo Mill and Gravois Avenue, Bosnian kitchens and bakeries made cevapi, burek and somun everyday local food. Balkan Treat Box in Webster Groves later earned national attention baking wood-fired somun for its cevapi, bringing the dish to a wider audience.
