South City Brunch at Russell's

You know what they say: Once is a fluke, twice is a coincidence, three

times is a trend.  If that's the case,  Russell's on Macklind is 

trending in our Sunday brunch routine. 

We first stumbled on the neighborhood gem back when it

was Murdoch Perk.  After we learned of its closing, we 

were a little devastated, but that was very shortly lived after

we discovered its replacement, Russell's Cafe. We have not ordered an item we have not loved, including beverages, and the biscuits are a must order item. We are thrilled to find a farm-to-table cafe that we can walk to, especially after we've had too many mimosas.

Their Philosophy

"Russell’s is your neighborhood café and bakery. We’ve adopted the principles of farm-to-table cooking to create a gourmet, homespun menu of signature sweets, savory comfort classics, creative sandwiches, 100%-from-scratch cakes & café favorites. We believe in an uncomplicated style of cooking because our quality ingredients speak for themselves. The few provisions that are not produced in-house are all carefully sourced from local small businesses:

• Hearth-baked breads are delivered still warm every morning from Breadsmith of St. Louis
• 
  
• We collaborated with Kaldi’s Coffee to develop a signature house blend
• 
  
• We feature gourmet potato chips from the St. Louis favorite, Billy Goat Chip Company"
