Bacon-Topped Long John Donut? Try One Today at Adam's Cafe

A new cafe serving donuts and Middle Eastern lunches has opened on Mexico Road in the former Caddyshack Donuts location at 6220 Mexico Road.

Adam Khair opened Adam's Cafe about three weeks ago and is currently serving donuts and breakfast to the regulars who used to stop in to Caddyshack Donuts. He's still ordering permanent signs and is awaiting a soda fountain before he's able to offer a lunch menu. 

Khair, who said he's wanted to cook his whole life, plans to expand the menu to include flavors from his home of Jerusalem. 

"People who try my food, they cannot wait to come back for it," he said. 

He plans to offer gyros, a kabob sandwich, beef shawarma and a mediterranean chicken salad unlike any other one can find in the St. Louis area, he said. He'll also have grilled plate options for lunch. 

For now, breakfast items include egg, cheese, bacon and ham sandwiches, a BLT, a southwest veggie burrito, and biscuits and gravy along with a range of donuts. 

Signs all over the shop urge customers to ask about the bacon donut: a slice of fresh bacon laid atop the customer's choice of long john. The recommended combo is one with maple syrup icing. 

Adam's Cafe is located at 6220 Mexico Road. The phone number is 636-244-4544
