“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.“

“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!

“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!“

“Just got an amazing bacon egg and cheese sandwich. I wish I would have taken a picture. The pastry was delicious and buttery. They have a good selection of essentials as well. Groceries, TP, health items. In a convenient place to walk to in the neighborhood.“

“This is the absolute best vegan cheesecake I have ever had!! We ordered the strawberry shortcake for thanksgiving and it perfect! 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!“

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

“What a yummy addition to Spanish Lake! I stopped by on a whim and walked out with three items to share with my family - a slice of caramel cake, a gourmet cookie, and banana pudding. They’re gone…devoured quickly, which means I’ll have to make the 40 minute drive to try other desserts for myself! The banana pudding is the best we’ve ever had…yum! The shop is clean and neat, and the service was amazing! I enjoyed talking to Alley’s daughter to hear about the move and establishing of the shop in Spanish Lake. While I’m not in the area often, this will be my go-to place for bakery items! Best of luck to your family!“

“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.“

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

“The best cheesecakes in town. Everything is so fresh and homemade. I was there last Friday and I ordered the chocolate chip cookie dough cheesecake. When I say it was so delicious!!!!! Patty’s makes the best cheesecake ever. They’re way better than Cheesecake Factory, etc.“

“Dunkable deliciousness! I love it!“

“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!“

“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)“

“I needed a MIRACLE and Ms. Nikki provided a delicious one. Long story short I did an emergency cake search on google which led me to this kind and talented woman. In less than 24 hours she gave us exactly what we needed for my dad's 65th bday party and it was so good! Everyone enjoyed it! I thank you again Ms. Nikki for your time, service and caring spirit. She was such a pleasure to work with. You literally saved the day! I will be 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!“

“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.“

“Best Gyro I have found in st.louis.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Awesome place, great donuts & staff. I’ve supported them for years. This is a really great Black Owned Business. Please support them. You won’t be disappointed!!“

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

“I ordered a custom motor cycle cake and it was amazing. I would highly recommend for cakes cookies and all your baked needs. 💜“

“We've been going to this family business for many years. They have stayed the course, friendly, caring, great service, great food and great prices. A blessing to our community to have a black own family business like this for over 50 years.

Wheelchair accessibility: You can just roll right into the store. No steps etc.“

“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.“

“This place is AMAZING!!!! My first time visiting and definitely will not be my last. Very busy place because of the great variety and selections and service. I HIGHLY recommend this spot to everyone. 🤩“
