“I delivered a package here and the owner gave me a couple doughnuts in appreciation. An older gentleman even got out of his seat to open the door for me bc the package was big and heavy. Men were playing chess, the place was clean, and the doughnuts were great. Nice little spot with friendly people.“

“Best Bread I have ever had, and I have been chasing down good bread for 50 years. I have had six different breads, all great. But the trading pane and the sesame are my favorites. Splurge for the tempered butter, it is worth it. Fantastic salads and soups, too. And the smoked beets are to die for!! Worth it to go just for that.“

“The Cakery pulled of my daughters wedding vision and took it to the next level. Not only was the cake gorgeous, but truly one of the most delicious cakes I have had. The buttercream was sweet and rich but not too sweet. The cake was moist and so tasty, even the next day! I cannot recommend them enough for weddings or any reason!“

“Please go here! Not only are the cupcakes delicious, but the staff was so kind. Our group was walking back to our car when the tornado sirens started going off and the green suddenly turn nasty green. It was terrifying. We dashed into their storefront. The staff was calm and went out of their way to make sure everyone was safe.“

“Love the sweets and the savories at SweetArt. Our favorite burgers are the Sweet Burger and the Make it Funky Burger. I love the Big Mama cinnamon bun and always have to check out their cupcake selection. Their new location is spacious and has plenty of indoor and outdoor seating!

“I purchased a box to take into my office. Everyone loved it and several asked where they could buy the items and to let them know when I would see the truck again.“

“Dunkable deliciousness! I love it!“

“I went in several times since moving to the area but this morning the employees were so nice when I thought I had locked my keys in my car after getting my donuts. The kindness goes a long way and everyone enjoyed the donuts!!“

I placed an order online and it was delivered the day before Thanksgiving with no problems whatsoever. The presentation was beautiful and everyone was so impressed. I cannot recommend this place enough!“

“Great bread! Amazing deep dish pizzas on Friday and Saturday after 11am.“

“I stumbled across this by accident and I'm glad that I did. The basic country loaf is great. All of the variants so far have been great--the olive and herb is fantastic. The focaccias are wonderful. That Funeral Potato version is killer for a crowd. Can't wait to try the mushroom.“

“My Philo Sisters were there for our Central Region conference & put these in our gift bags...these cookies ARE delicious!“

“We love El Chico so much! We asked them if they would provide cookies for our wedding (after a different dessert vendor stopped responding to us), and we are honestly so happy we ended up with them! El Chico was so easy to work with, so kind, and so helpful. We already knew their baked goods were delicious (we always stop for some cookies at the Tower Grove Farmer's Market), but our guests raved about the empanadas. I couldn't recommend them enough - whether it's an order for an event or just stopping in and grabbing some treats while you're on Cherokee! (photo is by Rachel Myers Photography)“

“When I'm close to the bakery, and they are open, I try to stop by and pick up some of their excellent pastries for my girlfriend. she loves every one of them. The problem is that they're not open past 8AM or so and I'm not normally going past them at that time. I need to find out who else sells their products.“

“Excellent pain au chocolate and great place to hang out. The Vietnamese coffee was divine!“

“Wonderful bakery! We are visiting from Michigan and had to try the gooey butter cake and chocolate drop. We also purchased a slice of NY cheesecake and some macarons. All were EXCELLENT 😋 and the young ladies behind the counter were super nice and helpful!“

“Unequivocally one of the best Bosnian bakeries in St Louis. They bake their lepinja breads fresh on saturdays and the pitas will literally be hot to the touch and fresh out of the oven. There’s no menu but the bakers also make delectable burek that is sold out within minutes of opening at 9am, so you’ll either need to call in advance to order or get there right at opening time!“

“The Tres Leche cake is to die for!!! Was my first visit with my niece and we enjoyed every single item we bought, I will be back!“

“we went to the soda fountain last night and our server Abby F. was amazing. we were a party if 10 and she was there fir all of our needs. Manager was Miranda- Randi and she was great as well. very friendly staff. we will definitely go back!“

“very nice and clean. Enjoyed being six feet apart but close enough to socialize and make new friends. True to the time schedule but not feeling rushed. very nice Fusion establishment. Don't sleep on it!“

“Best Gyro I have found in st.louis.“

“I've stopped in the Cottleville location a couple of times and have really enjoyed the sausage and gravy and the sausage, bacon and cheese ones. It's a very good, very quick breakfast that's a little different from the norm.“

“Got some very cute St Patrick's Day cookies from the adorably costumed staff - one of whom tried to give me the tie-dyed hat off her head when I admired it! Great cookies and wonderful staff.“

“Everything is on point, especially the Breakfast Menu!! No Pork!!! Yes!!“

“I love going to Caesar supermarket. Their food tastes amazing and it has a unique taste that seperates them from the other restaurants. The staff is friendly and very helpful.“

“While I can say that it's vastly superior to the other truck stops that I have encountered in Missouri and offers far more services amenities and hospitality to professional drivers and regular automobile driver's alike, it is still a truck stop with inflated prices and all of the strange brands the normal motorists do not encounter in day-to-day life.The showers here were clean serviceable and enjoyable. There is a television room and a small area for people to eat. There is also a small casino area. There is a small criminal element at this particular establishment. But that is to be expected and compared to some of the other elements I've encountered while in Missouri it is welcome in it's sparity.All together I can say that this truck stop is where you would want to go were you transiting from Missouri to Illinois on a normal commute.An excellent establishment.“
