Can't say anything about the food, but tried going in twice and it just smells old. Like an old library or something. How can a cake shop not smell like baking?

What a gem to stumble upon! I never would've known about Cravings had it not been for an afternoon stroll through Webster Groves and a mad hankering for something sweet. There was a sign saying that it was takeout only and the venue was empty on a Saturday afternoon, but it was filled with a lot of beautiful cakes. I believe I got to witness the legend Tim Brennan himself handle some orders. Service was friendly, although the guy who was helping us out didn't seem to be too familiar with all of their offerings; I don't even blame him, as there are a lot of goodies on their menu with quite the specifications. I found the prices to be very fair. I tried their meyer lemon cream puffs and their mini Baileys heart cake. I actually asked for plain cream puffs, but I'm a fan of desserts with hints of lemon so I won't complain. I didn't love that the box they came in was so frozen inside, but the desserts themselves were tasty. I can only imagine they would've tasted so much better fresh. The Baileys heart absolutely met my expectations; the flavors were perfect and it wasn't too sweet. It was just a higher cream-to-cake ratio, and I would've loved for it to be a more even split because the cake was so light and fluffy. My partner ordered their tray of cinnamon rolls, which were a pretty good deal. His feedback was that he couldn't quite nail the reheating instructions and they came out hard every time, but he genuinely enjoyed them as is without any reheating. So many options, will definitely be back for more in the future!

I love anything from cravings!! Their food is always well, prepared, fresh, and extremely tasty. I miss being able to go and get lunch there.

Though I've never been inside, I can attest to the quality of their food. I've worked at Dewey's Pizza for close to 3 years, during which we've offered slices of Cravings' carrot cake on our menu. Nothing compares to theirs; the cake is moist, dense, and full of flavor, and the icing has just the right amount of sweetness! Their carrot cake will ruin all other carrot cakes for you! After learning that Dewey's will soon be switching over to another bakery, I was devastated. I guess I'll have to go to Cravings' now to get some, which I guess isn't necessarily a bad thing! :)

I ordered brownies from there many years ago. Everyone who ate them wanted to know where they came from because they were so delicious.

Amazing and delicious. Very smooth rich chocolates with wonderful flavors inside. Beautiful to look at and incredible to eat.

Their specialty is pastries, for what they cost they are worth it. The staff were relaxed and helpful. I'd love to see more gluten free items on the menu.

So this place has basically closed down all inside dining (except once a month wine tastings). The dessert we ordered was a Boston Crème Pie, it was frozen and once it thawed it was dry and short on flavor. It was an item for one person and was $10, so way over priced. Too bad the hype doesn’t match the reality.

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

The wedding cake we ordered was beautiful and delicious! Tim was extremely easy and pleasant to work with, as well as, accommodating!

This USED to be a gem but wow how times have changed. We stopped by after not having the hazelnut zuccoto for years, a James beArd award winner, and when we ordered 4 pieces, they were given to us from the back in individual pre-wrapped boxes (cling wrap around them). Interesting. Even more interesting was the price of each piece...$10! I mean I get inflation and cost but WOW. Then, we get home and the pieces are half the size we feel like they were at one time AND the cake part was dry. No more zuccoto in our lives. Back in the day it may have been a challenge to find a bakery of this caliber in St. Louis but that certainly isn't the problem anymore, thankfully!
