50 Best Bakeries in St. Louis

“PROS: Delicious food! Timely, sweet, and friendly service. Great atmosphere!

CONS: If you sit at the bar and closer toward the entrance, make sure you wear a jacket if it’s chilly out.

OVERALL: I’ll definitely be back sometime!“

“Super friendly when I walked in and greeted me. I placed a mobile order and there was about 15 min wait, not too long. I didn’t get the guy at the counters name but he was super nice showing me my order and then bagging it up for me. Definitely gonna order again. Me and my kids love crumbl cookies.“

“This place is sooooo delicious! They are the kindest most willing to help you bakery! The creativity is beyond anything you can imagine. Reasonable prices for the quality product you receive, Thanks Lindsay for your special touch you put into everything you make. Go visit this bakery you will be amazed❤️“

“I highly recommend the sourdough class! So informative and the executive chef was open to answer any and all questions!“

“LOVE LOVE LOVE 💘 💗 💕. If you have never ordered from Cookies by Design you really need to. You will not be disappointed. Everyone at my gathering loved them and asked where I ordered them from. The design and most importantly the taste was unbelievable. We will definitely be using them again.“

“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!“

“They Have BEST cakes, sweets. Love it. Boss is the best she trying the best of the time. Love her.“

“My family and I have frequented Pint Size since they first opened…and there has not been one thing we didn’t like there. From the regular offerings to the seasonal fun bakery items, Pint Size has every taste bud and craving covered. 🤌🏻“

“Wonderful donuts, the person who is usually there works so hard and is very personable. I do wish they would update their hours and closed times on Google. On more than one occasion I have made the time before work to pick up donuts for my office and have found it closed. They sell out of things early but that just shows how good they are and are trying to not have a bunch of waste at the end of the day.“

“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.“

“We ordered a stitch cake, cookies and cupcakes and they turned out beautifully for our daughter’s 6th birthday. Everyone loved it and they tasted great. We can’t wait to order again for the next birthday🥳♥️“

“Big Momma Cinnamon Roll & Blueberry lemon cinnamon roll > peanut butter cup bar > fauxstess > Maine Event (choc chip cookie) > red velvet cupcake > brownie > lemon bar > chai snickerdoodle cookie

The blueberry lemon cinnamon roll was superb! You could tell they used fresh, high quality blueberries on top of the cinnamon roll, and it was the perfect garnish on a
what was an already fantastic cinnamon roll. If I could review SweetArt solely for their cinnamon rolls, they are 100% worthy of a five star review. If you’re looking for a cinnamon roll in Midtown, there’s no better place to get it!

I didn’t get the same vibrant lemon experience in the lemon bar that I got with the blueberries in the blueberry lemon cinnamon roll, which was a little disappointing. And the snickerdoodle wasn’t quite as moist as I expected, but otherwise I thought everything I ate was very well made.

I generally don’t comment about the service at the bakeries I review, but the staff here was very friendly and helpful. In terms of service, I would definitely give the service five stars. The man working the counter even asked me which brownie and cinnamon roll I would like which is not something that I think anyone has ever asked me before at a bakery.“

“Great bakery that goes above and beyond to satisfy the customer. The staff is amazing and everything is delicious 😊“

“I’ve placed two orders now for a loved one’s birthday. A German chocolate cake, pistachio macaroons, and a Oreo cake. All delicious!!! The staff are so kind but specifically Amanda helped me with a last minute (day before) order for my brother! Not only will I be back for my birthday cake but I will highly recommend this bakery to anyone.

Thank you for all you do 🤍“

“My husband and I finally made our way there this morning. We were greeted by a very sweet young lady. She took the time to let us know about the bakery and special order options. We got cinnamon rolls, chocolate long johns and twist donuts. Everything was very tasty. My favorite was the cinnamon roll, they are large and absolutely delicious. There is a great selection of treats. The prices are very fair. It's wonderful to have this establishment in our community. If you haven't tried them yet. .. you are missing out! We will definitely be back to try other things.“

“Love love this place! Best bakery around. Live about 50 miles from here and it's always a treat to go there.

Bought the chocolate chip swollen, OMG!! Cheese cake and gooeybutter, you can't beat.

Friendly people.“

“Such a friendly store, and the food is great. 👍🏻 my fav market!“

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

“Dunkable deliciousness! I love it!“

“This vegan yellow cake with chocolate buttercream might be the best birthday cake I’ve ever had (sorry, Mom!).“

“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.“

“I recommend the chocolate chip cookies! So big and 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)“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Very high end bakery! The desserts are fantastic picture perfect…and the shop look like it’s out of a movie!“

“I have been vegan for over 17 years, and have traveled worldwide as a foodie. Yummy Sweetcakes makes one of the BEST vegan cheesecakes that I have EVER tasted. And if you add flavor selections and the vegan plus gluten-free stuff??!! She then ascends to the number 1 spot WORLDWIDE! I also have a gluten allergy which causes some pretty painful symptoms, so it is beyond satisfying for me to be able to indulge in such sweet deliciousness as peach cobbler and Biscoff VEGAN AND GLUTEN-FREE CHEESECAKE. (Yelling in all caps for those in the back!!) Even the omnivores love her vegan cheesecakes! (Yes, she does make regular cheesecakes too.)

Whenever I stumble across a Yummy Sweetcakes stand at a fair, I make sure to stop by, and the owners are always so professional and polite. You can also order in advance for local pickup. They make it too easy for me to get my fix when I’m in town. Whole cheesecakes, slices, personal size cheesecakes, and even cupcake cheesecakes are available. My favorites are: orange dreamsicle, peach cobbler, Biscoff, triple chocolate, key lime, salted caramel, strawberry, and all the pumpkin varieties. This woman-owned small business has my gratitude and unwavering support. Be sure to try some for yourself and discover your favorites.“

“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.“

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

“The King is the greatest thing ever to enter my mouth hole! This place is amazing and the customer service is beyond wonderful.“

“The best meat you will have in US. Smoked meat, smoked sausages are amazing. Roasted lamb is perfectly salted, soft, juicy and delicious. 💯 recommend“

“I am always so excited to see Cham Bakery at the WashU Farmer's Market. The first time I went I spent quite a bit of money but not because they are expensive but because I bought a lot. The Zaatar bread, Cheese Pide are exceptional. (I would have taken a picture of the Pide I bought today but sadly it was gone too soon. No, I didn't drop it. I ate it. ) The pita was great, the eggs were cooked perfectly and the seasoning was fantastic! The woman working the table is so polite and friendly. I believe her husband gets up early in the morning to bake. YES!! It's THAT fresh!!I'm looking forward to trying their hummus and other tasty morsels.I honestly can't recommend this food enough!!“

“The bakery was nice with an assortment of sweets.

I bought the strawberry puff. It had delicious flavor, but for as much cream and the size of the puff, I wish it had had more strawberries. From the picture you probably think that it was full of strawberries, but it essentially had one strawberry that was cut in half. I was a little disappointed in that because I wanted to have a little bit of strawberry in each bite and only had enough strawberries for four bites.“

“Received the most delicious box of deserts from a longtime, good friend. Cravings Gourmet Desserts - exceptional!“

“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.“

“My 10YO daughter and I get our chocolate making & cookie supplies at Karen Ann's. we love the selection of molds and cookie cutters! The staff is always helpful and very friendly.“

“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!“

“Wonderful store, cone here often.“

“Omg! My first year ordering Christmas Eve dinner from Dierbergs! An easy, friendly and fast pickup on Dec 24th before the store closed! We ordered the succulent prime rib dinner! Best Christmas Eve dinner ever served!! The prime rib was the best I’ve had in a long time! And each and every side with it was incredibly delicious! Thank you Dierbergs for giving us an unforgettable Christmas Eve dinner! I so hope you do this year after year, because I want this meal as my new holiday tradition! Thank you so much! And happy New Year!! I’ll be giving you my business in the new year! ❤️“

“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!“

“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 salmon sandwich in the city! Got the veggie soup. They are remodeling but this is my go to lunch spot. Very clean and healthy menu. Great outdoor patio. You wont be disappointed! I love some of the vegan cookies. Very great! Highly recommended. This is the spot to visit!“

“Customer Service is awesome! Thanks for helping me surprise my Granddaughter for her 8th Birthday! Sherry-Jersey Village TX“

“We got one of each Black Forest cake and a few cinnamon rolls and mini pies and all were amazing. The cakes cut so smoothly and tasted even better. Couldn’t have asked for better for my dad’s birthday.“

“I lost 28 lbs. using Joseph’s Flax Seeds bread. I was eating at least two pitas a day.“

“Best Gyro I have found in st.louis.“

“The employees are very friendly and helpful“

“Had a cake and flower order for an office celebration and with the coronavirus pandemic, their hours had changed. The very kind people at the door of this Dierbergs were able to go in and get my cake and flowers. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have made it to work on time and or not been able to deliver on the surprise. Just wanted to say thank you!!! Other than that, this store always has friendly, helpful workers, is well-stocked and very clean. I’ve gone in This store many times in the mornings before work for a cookie cake or last minute items and they are always a wonderful help.“
