First Impressions
Table Of Contents
This was the second time I had ever visited the Gateway Arch. However, this was the first time I had experienced the inside of it! The Arch Cafe is located directly underneath the base of the St. Louis Arch, nearby the National Park Museum.
Atmosphere & Experience
As far as this cafe is concerned, It’s one of the worst locations I’ve ever been to. Coffee and chocolate flavoring, super high priced and cheap products… even the food options were pretty much all basically mall-food-quality. Really the only benefit from this experience AT ALL is that there is a cafe found at the Arch. So, I at least get to count the Arch on my travels… but it was so disappointing to experience this. I hope at some point, an actual coffee shop gets put in here, to capture the quality and character of the Gateway Arch itself.
Austin’s Choice
The offerings here were a massive disappointment. For someplace so iconic and touristy as the Gateway arch, I expected there to be a much higher quality than there was. This was a completely missed opportunity for something super cool (and maybe one day they’ll update it to be something better). That being said, at this time, I cannot recommend anything here at this Cafe.
