Java Plus Cafe and Catering Company

Java plus, well the Java is ok, even very good. However the breakfast sandwich tasted like a freezer burned pre packaged microwave version.
Very UN impressed with the food.
I would certainly not come back.

Java Plus is wonderful, both for corporate catering/​boxed lunches and for sit-​down service. The food is always fresh, well prepared, and exactly what I ordered. The staff are very friendly and I enjoy working with them very much. More people should visit this hidden gem in downtown STL.

I’ve used Java Plus a handful of times now for my corporate office lunches. They are a hidden little place downtown that more people need to know about.
Every single time all the lunches are made fresh. No wilting lettuce or stale bread here! And there are so many options at a super low price per person it’s kinda crazy. You’re not going to get this much food in a box lunch at this price anywhere else. They have a healthy option menu which is great for the calorie counters in the office. Anything you want changed on an order, I haven’t had an issue with this place getting right. They also cater to my gluten free, diabetic, and vegetarian co-​workers. Ordering for an office can get complicated… Trust me.
I usually work with Ken for my orders. The service is always friendly and easy. They always put names on the boxes at my request (saves me from fighting over lunches). They always deliver early which is awesome. I will absolutely be using them again in the future.

Java Plus is a hidden gem downtown. Their breakfast sandwiches are the best I have ever had. They are seriously addicting. Also, reasonably priced.
The only problem with this place: each of the workers look absolutely miserable to be there. Nobody smiles. It’s awkward to watch while waiting for my food.

I’m pretty conservative with «awarding» 4 stars but, hey, I’m now a fan of Java Plus! Let me walk you through my lunch time visit today:
1. approach register and wonder about ingredients in listed salads
2. following warm greeting, am directed to full menu (better take one back to the office)
3. overwhelmed with delicious-​sounding options
4. choose a Cobb salad, requesting all mixed greens and dressing on the side
5. am welcomed again, since it’s my first visit, and told my salad will be right up
6. salad is prepped in about three minutes and, before I can even ask my question, am directed to the display of forks and napkins
Now I’m finishing my salad at my office and it’s SOOO good. This is now my go-​to when I don’t have time to make lunch at home.

Sandwiches are made fresh and are big enough for me to eat half at lunch and half at dinner. There are a variety of salads and the cookies are great!

Surprisingly good for being a nondescript eatery in a big corporate building. Not the cheapest in the area (Subway or Jimmy John’s wins that race), but the quality makes up for it.
You can tell they take the time to prepare their food *relatively* from scratch. As a result, food here doesn’t taste overprocessed like most of their competitors within the 3-​block radius.

So far, so good– ½ turkey and swiss sandwich and a side salad– premade, less than 7 bucks. I’ve only been once, but I’ll go back… tasted healther than the food at Gourmet to Go (while not bad, I’d prefer if they had fewer pre-​made options so I could, say, opt for no dressing), right across the street, and easy to figure out menu (which seems like a given, but I’m still a bit mystified with the G2G menu). Plus, they have a veggie sandwich on the menu… that isn’t pre-​made. It’s the little things that excite me.

Java Plus is fairly hidden from the downtown world, but it offers a quick breakfast/​lunch alternative. Fairly spacious if you’re with a number of people and televisions and free Wi-​Fi if you’re not.
Personally, I’m a fan of their croissant breakfast sandwiches. Burger King ain’t got nothing on you Java Plus!
One word of warning — if they’re out of already made sandwiches (they make a batch, but them in plastic clamshells and under heat lamps, it’s not as bad as it sounds, really), at times it takes a bit for them to make something fresh/​custom.

If you need to find a quick sandwich or salad on your lunch hour I suggest Java Plus located on the first floor of the Metropolitan building.
They’re menu is straight forward with daily wrap and sandwich specials. May I suggest their pre-​made Greek or Cesar salads. Absolutely delicious.

Best. Cookies. Ever.
