These are some of my favorite places in St. Louis that you should definitely check out whether you are a tourist or whether you live here! Most of these recommendations are for restaurants/cafes/food :)

For when you need to caffeinate
This is one of my favorite coffee shops in STL! The food and drinks are amazing, the staff is always super nice, and there is a perfect amount of seating so you feel like you can work there for a bit and it isn't too distracting.
E61 Cafe
For now, the only Yemeni coffee shop in St. Louis
Mocha Point Yemeni Coffee Co.
Ethiopian coffee! Super cute and some yummy drinks :)

Ice Cream
This place has some of the best gelato in town. There are two locations, one in Kirkwood and one in the Hill, and you can not go wrong with either. The location in the Hill is next to a pretty plaza area, though, which is great to sit with friends in...
Gelato Di Riso
There are multiple locations in the area, and the flavors are so unique I highly recommend! The third picture is a lavender ice cream cone with a pistachio ice cream iirc
Clementine's Naughty & Nice Ice Cream
Lots of unique options and the staff is super friendly!
Serendipity Homemade Ice Cream

Syrian food- the restaurant is a bit more fancy than some of the others, but still casual
