Plan your St. Louis food stops

Use these as meal-planning ideas, not timed routes. Check your starting point, exact address and current service window before setting out.

Use South Grand as a cluster

Terror Tacos, Tree House and Pizza Head are all on South Grand. Their menus and vegan statuses differ, but they can be compared without crossing the city.

Keep SweetArt locations separate

This profile covers the main Coronado cafe on Lindell. SweetArt Too at City Foundry has separate hours and a market-style menu.

Read the vegan-status badge

Tree House is vegetarian with food vegan by default; Pizza Head is vegetarian with a dairy-cheese option. That is different from Terror Tacos or Red Bird Vegan.

Confirm changing hours

Terror Tacos does not currently publish a full weekly schedule on its own site, so verify before a time-sensitive visit.
