Crown Candy Kitchen ★ 4.4
Crown Candy Kitchen on St Louis Ave in Old North is the 1913 soda fountain known for hand-made malts, the BLT challenge, and chocolate-coated treats.
Why locals love it: Tourists rarely venture to Old North, but this 1913 soda fountain is the oldest in the metro, worth the trip for hand-made malts and a towering BLT.
Tip: Take the malt challenge or split the BLT. The neighbourhood is sleepy, so it feels like a discovery despite its age.
Taqueria Durango ★ 4.2
Taqueria Durango is a taqueria room in Overland. Order the chile-drowned torta ahogada. It sits next to a grocery in a plaza most visitors never find.
Why locals love it: Tucked in an Overland strip mall far from the tourist map, Durango plates a torta ahogada that locals drive across the metro for, under ten dollars.
Tip: Order the chile-drowned torta ahogada. It sits next to a grocery in a plaza most visitors never find.
Balkan Treat Box ★ 4.5
Balkan Treat Box on Big Bend Blvd in Webster Groves is the Bosnian wood-fired counter from Loryn and Edo Nalic, known for somun and cevapi platters.
Why locals love it: A suburban Webster Groves counter rather than a downtown name, Balkan Treat Box bakes wood-fired somun and cevapi worthy of a James Beard nod.
Tip: The wood-fired somun-based plates are the way in; lines build at lunch. A short drive from the city centre.
Sump Coffee ★ 4.4
Sump Coffee on S Jefferson Ave in Tower Grove South is the spare, no-frills roastery turning out precise light-roast filter coffee for serious drinkers.
Why locals love it: A spare, no-frills roastery far from the cafe circuit, Sump roasts some of the most precise light-roast coffee in the country for those who seek it out.
Tip: This is a place to taste, not to camp; try the filter flight. Buy a bag of the single-origin light roasts to take home.
Gus' Pretzels ★ 4.3
Gus' Pretzels on Arsenal St in Benton Park is the 1920 bakery hand-twisting soft pretzels and salami sticks in the shadow of the Anheuser-Busch brewery.
Why locals love it: A 1920 pretzel bakery in the brewery's shadow, Gus' hand-twists soft pretzels and salami sticks that locals grab but visitors rarely know to find.
