The closest fresh-made breakfast to the WashU Medical Campus
If you are looking for breakfast near Barnes-Jewish Hospital, Crepes & Treats is just a short walk or a few-minute drive away at 4630 Lindell Blvd, inside Hotel Indigo in the Central West End. We are roughly a 10-minute walk from the main campus — close enough to grab a fresh meal between rounds, between appointments, or between visiting hours. We serve handcrafted sweet and savory crepes, made fresh to order, for breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dessert.

~10 min (about 0.5 mi) up Euclid to Lindell.

~3–5 min. Street parking on Lindell outside Hotel Indigo.
MetroLink
CWE station is a 5-min walk from our door.
Walking directions
From the Kingshighway / Euclid / Children’s Place corridor, head north on Euclid Avenue toward Lindell Blvd, then turn left. We are inside Hotel Indigo on the left side of Lindell. It is a pleasant, flat walk through the Central West End — perfect for breakfast near CWE MetroLink riders stepping off the train.
Driving & parking
From the campus, take Kingshighway north to Lindell Blvd and turn right; we are a couple of blocks east. The drive is about 3–5 minutes outside of rush hour. Street parking is available on Lindell Blvd right outside our entrance, and the CWE is generally easier to park in than downtown. Our entrance is accessible from the street.
By MetroLink & shuttle
The Central West End MetroLink station is about a 5-minute walk from our door, making us an easy stop for anyone riding the line. Hospital campus shuttles that serve the CWE area drop within a few blocks of Lindell — check with your shuttle schedule for the closest stop.
Perfect for a shift break, a visitor, or a family waiting on news
We serve three groups every day. Doctors, nurses, and hospital staff on a break come for something fast, fresh, and made to order — crepes travel well, so you can order ahead and eat on the go. Med students and researchers drop in between lab and lecture for brunch crepes and good coffee. And patients’ families and visitors — the people we especially want to welcome — find a calm, comfortable spot a few minutes off campus where they can sit, breathe, and eat something nourishing. We know these visits can be stressful, and we try to make the food the easy part.

Why the Central West End is worth the short trip
The WashU Medical Campus sits at the edge of the Central West End, one of St. Louis’s most walkable neighborhoods. A few minutes from the hospital you will find Forest Park, the boutiques of Euclid Avenue, and Chase Park Plaza. Crepes & Treats is not a hospital-cafeteria alternative — it is the neighborhood’s dedicated creperie, a from-scratch kitchen making the best crepes in St. Louis with locally sourced ingredients. A short walk gives you fresh food, a real change of scenery, and a few quiet minutes away from the ward.
