New Day
New Day is a family friendly restaurant located in Ellisville. The restaurant is located right off of Manchester Rd. and is delicious! They have created a kitchen full of comfort food including macaroni and cheese, pizza, sandwiches, pastas, breadsticks, soups, and baked goods! Their baked goods include wedding cakes, cookies, brownies, cakes, coffee cakes, cupcakes, cake pops and much more!

You can feel the love of the workers and their calling to serve the gluten-free community by the way they serve you and ensure you get a meal that fits your restricted diet! I am gluten free, dairy free, peanut free, and meat free and I always walk out of there with a full belly satisfied and happy!
