Is Brunch Cheaper on Weekdays in St. Louis?

Is Brunch Cheaper on Weekdays in St. Louis? — Crepes & Treats, 4630 Lindell Blvd, Central West End, St. Louis, MO 63108

Is Brunch Cheaper on Weekdays in St. Louis?

Yes — and if you've been skipping brunch because weekend prices sting, a Tuesday morning at Crepes & Treats in the Central West End might change your whole routine. Is brunch cheaper on weekdays in St. Louis? At most spots, the answer is yes, and here's exactly how to make that work for you.

TL;DR: Weekday brunch in St. Louis is generally the same price or cheaper than weekends — no brunch upsells, no wait, no crowd markup. At Crepes & Treats (4630 Lindell Blvd, inside Hotel Indigo), the full menu runs Tuesday through Sunday, 7am–2pm, with the same fresh-made crepes any day of the week.

Is Brunch Actually Cheaper on Weekdays in St. Louis?

At most St. Louis restaurants, weekday brunch costs the same as weekend brunch — but you save money in the ways that matter most. No $15 parking, no hour-long wait, no pressure to turn your table.

Some Central West End spots add weekend brunch specials that sound like deals but pad the bill with bottomless-mimosa minimums or prix-fixe requirements. On a Tuesday or Wednesday, you order exactly what you want and pay for exactly that.

At Crepes & Treats, there's no weekend surcharge and no weekday discount — the menu price is the menu price every day we're open. What changes is the experience: quieter tables, faster service, and a crepe that gets your full attention.

What Does Weekday Brunch at Crepes & Treats Actually Cost?

Our crepes run roughly $10–$17 depending on whether you're going sweet or savory, and our breakfast plates land in the same range. There are no hidden fees, no mandatory add-ons, and no Sunday-only upcharge hiding in the bill.

Here's a quick look at how a weekday brunch at Crepes & Treats stacks up against a typical St. Louis weekend brunch outing:

Cost Factor Typical STL Weekend Brunch Weekday at Crepes & Treats
Menu prices Standard or prix-fixe Same menu, every open day
Wait time (unpaid time = real cost) 30–75 minutes common Walk in Tue–Fri, usually seated fast
Parking $10–$20 garage or valet Street parking on Lindell often open
Mimosa/drink minimum Frequent at CWE spots None
Pressure to order more High during table-turn rush Low — linger over your crepe

The real savings on a weekday brunch aren't always on the menu — they're in your parking spot, your parking meter time, and not ordering a second drink just to feel like you're getting your money's worth.

Why Do Some People Think Weekend Brunch Is the Only Option?

Weekend brunch gets all the marketing, so it feels like the "real" version. But Tuesday through Friday, the same kitchen is running, the same batter is going on the same hot griddle, and the same hands are folding your crepe.

We're open Tuesday through Sunday, 7am to 2pm. That means five days a week, you can show up before work, on a lunch break, or mid-morning and get the exact same Nutella-banana crepe or ham-and-Brie savory that people wait 45 minutes for on Saturday. If you want a deeper look at what makes a visit here worth it, Is Crepes and Treats St. Louis Worth It? An Honest Look breaks it down honestly.

Weekdays near the WashU Medical Campus and Barnes-Jewish Hospital are actually busy with staff and visitors grabbing a real breakfast — not a packaged muffin from a lobby cart. Those people know the weekday secret already.

What's on the Menu for a Budget-Friendly Weekday Brunch?

Every crepe on our full menu is available Tuesday through Sunday — there's no stripped-down weekday version. You get the whole lineup: sweet crepes, savory crepes, breakfast plates, and seasonal specials.

A few standouts that deliver serious value:

  • Ham & Cheese Crepe — savory, filling, and made to order. Not a steam-table sandwich.
  • Nutella & Banana — the crepe people drive across St. Louis for, available every day we're open.
  • Bananas Foster Crepe — dessert-for-breakfast energy, no judgment.
  • Breakfast Plate — eggs, your choice of protein, real food at a straightforward price. See the Sausage Breakfast Plate vs. Bacon Breakfast Plate breakdown if you can't choose.
  • Caprese Crepe — fresh mozzarella, tomato, basil. Not what you expected? Read about the Caprese crepe here.
  • Goat Cheese Crepe options — if you haven't tried goat cheese in a crepe, it's a surprisingly good call.
