“Russell’s on Macklin is such a staple. It has a cozy and relaxed ambiance with a fireplace offering locally sourced American cuisine.Located in the Southampton neighborhood of St. Louis, it’s a family-run restaurant that prides itself on warm hospitality and mouthwatering dishes reminiscent of home-cooked meals.From their homestyle cooking to freshly baked goods, Russell’s on Macklin caters to both the brunch & dinner crowds. The menu features elevated versions of classic American favorites, highlighting the best seasonal ingredients available.I had the broccolini salad and lump crab cake. Both were delicious. I also shared in the cheeseboard.Don't forget to indulge in their tempting gooey butter cake.“
“We just stumbled upon this bakery and it has become a (once a week) destination place! Please don't ask me the names of the treats I bought, my brain was lost after the first bite! One of the little cakes I bought today had (had bc I ate it all!) brown sugar crumbles on top with pink grapefruit inside. YES, Grapefruit! The sweet coupled with the juicy sweet-tart grapefruit was perfect! Give it a try! The chocolate chunk cookies, just have your milk ready! The staff make it a bit difficult (in a good way) in picking out a treat. Knowledgable of their products and friendly. I so wanted to do the Kevin Hart line of, "Let me get them all," while attempting to pick just one! I promise you, you will find something yummy to cure your sweet tooth on your first visit!“
“I am ashamed to admit from the get-go...our food looked so good when it arrived at our table we dug in before taking any pics! Ugh. Once I thought about it I had done enough damage to my salad and plate it wouldn't have been very appetizing. I will say this though...Valentine's Day, sneaking out for lunch with your sweetie, 65 and sunny, AND Union Loafers tees you up for a great day! Happy Valentine's to all and thanks to Union Loafers to making our day even more special. Ambiance is always fun, loud place. We each ordered a chenin blanc, the little gem salad with beets (my favorite salad in STL!). My wife ordered the Turkey Swiss and I had the Bistro Beef. Everything was just outstanding. Of course a loaf of semolina to go. Service was great as always, place was packed. Love, love, love Union Loafers!“
“This place is so cute. Walls covered in books you can buy, nice drinks, and a ton of vegan baked goods (not all, but they are clearly labelled!). My partner and I had a blast drinking wine and playing games, and the scones are amazing. They also have various gifts for sale - mugs, candles, cards, etc. They even have a flavor of vegan ice cream! New favorite for sure!“
“My wife and I stopped by this morning before a four hour drive home for breakfast. I had the smoked pork chop with eggs and a biscuit, my wife a vegetable omelet. Both were fantastic, the portions were large and the prices very reasonable. The service was great. Highly recommend.“
“This is the best cake I have ever eaten. We taste tested multiple different places in the area when we were trying to find our wedding cake. Once we taste tested the Cakery, we were blown away! They have so many basic and premium options to choose from regarding the fillings, frostings, cake flavors, and more. You can’t go wrong with any of their flavors, as we tried several. We ended up getting a strawberry cake with strawberry buttercream, and we did a rum cake with coconut buttercream. Our next favorite would probably be the French vanilla cake. We plan to go to them for all our cake needs here on out!“
“I absolutely adore this spot! I got the iced oat latte with hazelnut and a half focaccia sandwich. Everything tastes fresh and delicious! I want to go back for the gelato. They have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. It has a modern look to it. The baristas are also very kind and helpful! What a cool coffee spot to visit!“
“We ordered chocolate arch candy for our daughter’s wedding. She was doing a St. Louis theme for the wedding. They were a big hit with our guests. We also ordered cookies for our hotel guests gift bags. Also a big hit. The staff was great to work with. Highly recommend Dad’s cookies!“
“Just ordered delivery for the first time here and we loved it!! Everything was prepared well; the croffle is heavenly, rice crispy chicken was moist and fried well, and the Okonomi Toast was a delightfully different comfort food addition to breakfast. Will be eating here again, frequently!“
“I don't know if cheesecake even needs reviewed because I've never met one I didn't like BUT Patty's does it so well. Between my group of 6 we tried just about everything from the banana pudding cheesecake to the strawberry champagne and LOVED it all! Service is super quick as it's in the foundry so you order from the counter and they grab it for you there and we were able to find plenty of seating out front and the general vibe of the foundry was, as always, immaculate. I'll definitely be back!“
“Publishing a new book was meantfor a special celebration, and the gala at Cookies By Design came through with such a fabulous way to depict the occasion with great thanks to those who have been pa special part! Thank you for this special chocolate chip cookie sheet! It was delicious!“
“There is a reason I only go to Cake House for our birthday cakes. I’m never disappointed, the things they create are beautiful but honestly some of the best tasting desserts you can find as well. My family just assumes we are going to have it now and everyone always wants a piece. I love supporting a local company and when they hit it out of the park every single time it the cherry on top!“
“This restaurant is one of my favorites. Not only do they serve regular food, but they serve some of the best desserts I've ever tasted. When I tasted the desserts, I couldn't believe they were vegan. My favorite was the sweet potato cupcake. It was so delicious. The service was a little slow but they were pretty busy.“
“Excellent espresso! I am from the West Coast and love sampling my way across the country with my picky pallet. *grinReally enjoyed the people here, too, and the coffee is very aromatic and delicious.If I make it back to St. Louis, I'll be back! Thank you!!!“
“This place is amazing!!! I cannot say enough great things about it!! Everything was fresh and full of flavor!!! My kids loved the doughnuts, my husband’s breakfast sandwich was the best we’ve ever had, and my summer vegetable sandwich was out of this world!!! We will be back as soon as we can!!“
“BEST FAMILY on the HILL, So many many many fond memories of this ENTIRE family from growing up on their pastries, Christmas cookies, Cannoli's, BREAD , not enough room on the internet to talk about this FAMILY and then theirs the BAKERY LOL, I just cant say enough about the family and the Bakery Just amazing“
“The Cup never disappoints! I've been getting my birthday cakes here for years because they are simply the best. They even have birthday candles available when you pick up your cake! I can't even begin to describe the richness, freshness, and moistness of all their products. You just have to try it for yourself! They also serve lots of fun flavors, with both classic and rotating options. Confetti is my absolute favorite classic flavor, and Cookie Dough is my go-to seasonal flavor. Additionally, The Cup makes cupcakes that are safe for dogs, which my labradoodle absolutely loves. The employees are always very friendly, and I especially appreciate how patient they are with me when I'm feeling indecisive about my tough decisions! The interior of the restaurant has seating options available if you're wanting to enjoy your cupcake right away, or they are nicely boxed up if you're taking it for the road. I will always love this place!“
“A wonderful experience, starting with the lovely ladies behind the counter, and extending to the great little grocery store attached to the restaurant.But let's be real, you don't come here for the ambiance, you come here for the cevapi! And boy does it deliver. Expertly cooked sausages, lots of raw onion, banana peppers, and sour cream. As usual, bring your appetite or be prepared for leftovers... the sandwich is about the size of your face!If for some reason you're still not full, there is a full service bakery to satisfy your sweet tooth. And the Bosnian coffee is top notch as well.“
“Great cheesecakes and great service! I have ordered from Yummy's several times. Each cake has been great! Actually, I would go as far as to say that it is the BEST cheesecake that I've ever had! I have used the delivery services as well. Each delivery was timely and packaged well. The team is very professional. I will continue to support.Vegetarian options: Vegan and Vegetarian cheesecakesDietary restrictions: Offers Vegan and Gluten Free options that tastes amazing!“
“I've passed this bakery many times in the past, but only stopped in this past Friday. I bought some shortbread, cookies, and a small quiche. Everything was amazing, but the quiche was SO good!! I can't wait to go back! Just wish I lived closer!!“
“St. Louis staple! Best pastries and bread around. Adore their danishes (cheese, cherry, and chocolate are my fav!), and chocolate drops! They also take special orders which is awesome.Update: 2024 and still as efficient and delicious as ever even 100 Years in the business! Always fresh & fast service. Don't get turned off by the long lines inside, I PROMISE it's really a short waiting time similar to how Ted Drewes works.“
“Very nice French bakery in St. Louis. They had an assortment of pastries, macaroons, and other baked goods. They have limited coffee but many teas on their drink menu. I got a slice of the raspberry almond tart which was incredible. There are a few tables to eat inside, but I took to go. Lots of street parking close by. I’d definitely stop by again when in the area.Parking: There is a lot of free street parking in the area. There are some locations that are restricted during certain times.“
“Absolute St. Louis Treasure!! Went looking for ooey gooey butter cake after visiting Grant's Farm and I found this gem not too far down the road. When we initially passed the bakery on the drive to the farm my brother said, "a place with a sign like that has to be good." Upon leaving Grant's, I Googled ooey gooey butter cake and Federhofer's popped up. When we walked in we were blown away with the case displays and vast array of treats in those cases. The first thing, I asked the friendly associate was for ooey gooey butter cake, then I asked for some Easter Bunny cookies (the presentation of the items, was just eye-catching) and finally I spotted these little butter cookies my Dad used to buy us as kids, but can no longer locate where I live. Needless to say, I walked out with a wonderful memory and some sweet treats. I will definitely return and spread the word on this St. Louis diamond.“
“Lovely atmosphere, though it's a bit small. I found seating somewhat limited as business picked up, so be prepared to stand or take-out during busy hours.I ordered a chocolate croissant and an iced matcha latte. The croissant was to die for all around, but I found that the matcha tasted a bit too milky.Overall, would recommend if you're looking for a cozy café experience!Parking: The parking was a bit inconvenient, but that's to be expected when you're in the city. There was a two hour parking lot shared between the local restaurants located behind the café, and some street parking and on-site parking. Nearly all of it was full when I parked.“
“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.“
“Visited the daily bread yesterday for the first time. Cannot wait to go back! Great service, friendly staff, clean surroundings, and great food! Their salads are huge, their sandwiches use the freshest meats, and their desserts are really difficult to pass up!“
“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.“
“The wide selection of meats available at USA Halal Meat is truly impressive. Whether you're a steak connoisseur, a lover of succulent roasts, or simply seeking the perfect cut for your next backyard BBQ, this place has it all. Each piece of meat is meticulously sourced, ensuring top-notch quality that is evident in every bite.The butchers are true artists of their craft. Their expertise is unparalleled, and they take pride in their work.They skillfully carve and prepare each piece of meat with precision, catering to customers' specific preferences.Thank you USA Halal Meat!“
“The pretzels are delicious! They are warm, soft, buttery and have just a hint of sweetness. There are some great dips but they are so good I prefer them just warm out if the oven. This visit we had the pepperoni pizza pretzelachee. It was filled with cheese and pepperoni and a delicious sauce with just the right amount that it was not messy.We placed our order ahead of time and it was ready when we arrived fresh out of the oven. Also picked up two party packs for a family Easter party. We warmed the bites in the oven for about 3 minutes and they disappeared in about the same amount of time. Definitely my favorite pretzel of any found in the area!“
“Ashley baked our daughter’s wedding cake and it was absolutely beautiful and delicious! The consensus of many guests was that it was the best wedding cake they’ve ever had! The tier cake was almond raspberry and we had 2 kitchen cakes- chocolate hazelnut and spice. All wonderful. I highly recommend getting cakes from Ashley.“
“Lily's Panaderia has been open for many years. If you are a loyal customer or have visited the bakery, You’ll recall the old location being small and cozy. Their new location offers more space for customers to enjoy their freshly baked treats alongside a cup of coffee to start the day. If you like a savory treat, I would recommend the bread with cream cheese and jalapeño. For the sweet treats, I would recommend the conchas. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to try real authentic Mexican bread here in STL. Lily’s panaderia always excels in taste and presentation too.“
“We had a great breakfast!!Loved the baked oatmeal and spinach-beet juice ?Had the big breakfast!!!Incredible!!!This is our new go to for breakfast.Great to finally have a place you can get healthy food!!Vegetarian options: Spinach beet juice is amazing!!The baked oatmeal was delicious ?“
“So I go to the store at Soulards ... and I'm hooked- the product is very good and tasty, while the cause is spectacular. Quite honestly , I just went in and bought some treats I really didn't need just because I now feel compelled to. I'll hopefully share them with others while sharing their mission too. The service is always friendly and appreciative , while surrounding ... hey it's Soulard's Maret! How quaint can you get? Thanks guys!“
“If I could give a 10/5 for customer service, I would do so! I ordered 4 bundlets for pickup about 24 hours ahead of time, with the seasonal flavor in my order. Unfortunately when I arrived, I was told they were out. I expressed my frustration since I made this order, specifically for the seasonal flavor (and how much I loved it when I had it a few years back). The woman at the counter tried to find a resolution and after checking in back, was able to give me a dozen bundtinis instead! It was such a relief and definitely above and beyond! I will be back (even though I don’t live that close)!“
“Lovely ladies taking care of business.Very friendly.Just passing through, and grabbed about 30 bucks worth of wonderful cookies, and a loaf of bread that reminded me of Nauny.Highly recommend, if you're going to visit the Hill.♥️????“
“This truck was at a tree lighting I went to and my husband and I picked up an oreo gooey and a red velvet gooey bar. They were delicious and a great sized portion. They even provided our dog a box of his own treats, since he was with us as well.“
“oh my goodness this man makes the best shrimp and tripe!! If you are old school from the hood of Sarah Lou his shrimps are on that level!! if you are old school and loved Mamajama and Ms. Debbie's Trip well this man Tripes are better than theirs. sorry Ms. Debbie but Sterling's Tripe are so good, crispy and does not have the pull!! I wished I had the money to set this man up in a restaurant where people could come and sit down!! He cooking is amazing!! Joann“
“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!!“
“Creamy, smooth, rich. Oh my gosh. Best cheesecake of my life. I wish I could try every single slice. My boyfriend and I had key lime and dark chocolate raspberry, and we fell in love with this place at first bite Also the workers were very kind!“
“You can order on the self ordering right when you walk in but they also have a counter . The food is then brought out to your table they have additional sauces up front which is a great option for additional flavor . I got a sandwich and tried the Korean hot dogs they were good just wish they were a little more crispy . The drink was also ok.“
“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!“
“This is the much needed coffee shop in the City Foundry. Century Coffee Company is for coffee aficionados. This is a multi-roaster spot with meticulously curated selection of globally sourced beans from various roasters. They have all the top techniques and state-of-the-art technology.I love the 8 oz coffee cup. She’s small but it’s just enough. The space is inviting and the aroma of freshly ground beans can’t be beat. The baristas were friendly and smiling.“
“Fantastic prices, super helpful staff. I’m learning to use Royal icing to make cookies for my sister’s baby shower and they were so nice and walked me through the best colorants to use and what they like about each item. I really appreciate that they require face masks and hand sanitizer to keep their customers and community safe!“
“WALL OF SUGAR. I walked in and there is this intense and amazing fragrance of sugar. This is my third visit and the cabinets are always full with the most amazing variety of baked goods. I cannot imagine how hard they work to create this incredible variety everyday. Do not forgot to pick up some Bollilos for your homemade sandwiches or tortas. Highky recommend visiting this bakery.“
“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)“
“Our team had an exceptional experience at Cake Fusion. We chose this activity for our law firm's volunteer group, Holland Helping Hands, to have some fun in light of our annual team bonding day, and it was fantastic! We would highly recommend this wonderful, woman-owned business and will certainly be back. Thank you for curating such a pleasant and special experience for us!“
“Exceptional food & value! I ordered the mini pup and nugget party trays for a party. These were the only appetizer I needed- they were devoured and I received multiple compliments on their taste. “Must be from pretzel boys, right?” Yes, it must!! Thanks for making my entertaining easy by providing delicious food with an easy pick up experience as well.“
“Small coffee shop in a pretty part of town. It's worth getting a cup and walking the park in the morning. The lattes were very good. Tried the gooey butter cake. It was a bit thin, but didn't feel as overwhelming as other versions.“
“Love, love, love, Crumbl! I try not to eat them too much, because, well we all know how addicting they are. But I LOVE everything Peppermint. Move over, pumpkin spice! Anyway, every time I go to the South County location, I'm always greeted upon entry. The crew is super fast and helpful, and I never have to wait very long. Their customer service is on point! It's always clean and smells of deliciousness.“
