Local Harvest Café

That Local Harvest Grocery is a pretty cool place, isn’t it? All those locally and regionally made beauty products, meats, dairy products, organic produce and coffee makes this little store in the Tower Grove South area a real destination for locavores. But when the store started making and selling deli sandwiches, things got a little tight. Like true entrepreneurs, owners Maddie Earnest and Partick Horine knew they had to expand.

And expand they did, on July 12, across the street from the grocery in a beautifully renovated building spacious enough to handle both the deli and catering operations. The café opens at 7 a.m. and is a good stop for a breakfast bagel sandwich or fresh baked goods. Come lunchtime, sandwiches like the Morganford Mediterranean (made with local organic lentil dip and local veggies) and The Italian Stallion (with Volpi salami, of course) are fast favorites; all sandwiches are made with local Companion breads. The opening of the café marks just one more reason why this stretch of Morganford between Arsenal and Utah is rapidly becoming an area of distinction.
