50 Best Bakeries in St. Louis

“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.“

“Cake House does it again! I last minute saw the Mother's Day special they were doing and thought I missed out. I sent over a message to see if I could still order and pick it up in two days. I got a respond the next morning and it was all taken care of with the invoice sent as well. They are quick to respond, do their best to get you the product you want even on a tight timeline, and the best quality cakes each time! Cake House should be the next small business you support!“

“Great local restaurant with excellent service and great food.“

“Great handcrafted sodas and sandwiches (although a bit heavy-handed with the spicy mustard on the pastrami sandwich)! Service was top notch, the workers were very patient with us even though we were there during close. They were also sweet enough to give us free cookies!“

“Wonderful atmosphere and great coffee. Hanging out surrounded by books is the absolute best.“

“Friendly staff and Gelato made fresh daily and AMAZING! Definitely planning to try some baked goods on our next visit!“

“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.“

“Savory scones are a must as well as the hand pies(everything being my favorite).“

“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!“

“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 recently purchased a slice of the cheesecake at a Dierbergs close by me. I was more then amazed how good and fresh it was. My first time but definitely not my last. If you haven't tried Pattys, please do yourself a favor and try the cheesecake! I promise you will love it! And many flavors to choice from.This is a must!“

“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.“

“Visit here every year after Wine Walk on The Hill. Great selection of delicious pastries. There are often young adults working and they are always so polite and very helpful providing excellent customer service that is sometimes hard to find these days. Highly recommended, there are many options for everyone!“

“Awesome place to order cookies!!! They will put together an arrangement that will give your loved ones lasting memories. Thank you so much!!!!!“

“So impressed by the sustainable production efforts of Park Avenue Coffee and the growers of the coffees they use! Truly enlightening tour and yummy beverages to sample during #caffeinecrawl“

“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!!“

“Cozy place with good vibes. Reasonably priced cupcakes that are worth their size and price! Super sweet staff (Logan was awesome)and Joi was working hard off to the side. Beautiful displays of cakes and cupcakes. The BEST GLUTEN FREE CUPCAKE I have ever had.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options my galactic frens!“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“This was the best cheesecake I have had in over 6 years. The flavors were balanced. I got an peach cobbler cheesecake. It was overly sweet, it was rich with a nice balance of spices. That is hard to do with flavored cheesecakes. Usually the added flavor is too dominant or the cheesecake is sort of sour. They have a loyal customer here. Great job.“

“LOVE this place. Amazing French/Creole fusion bakery. I make sure to hit it up every time I'm in St. Louis. Lots of fun themed celebrations, like Juneteenth, Harry Potter, Mardi Gras, Macaron day with special themed menus. You can do high tea time here. Highly recommend their wedding cake taster box to try lots of different cake and frosting flavors. Their savory stuff is amazing (as well as their sweet of course). Get there early because they run out quick daily. You can order ahead online but some of their unique offerings can only be purchased in store. Amazing drink selection too, including boba teas and coffees. They also have pre-packaged to go items.“

“We've confidently ordered from Federhofer's Bakery for years! For my daughter's wedding, we were given two of the BEST cakes that we had ever tasted! All of their baked goods taste as though they were made with love & good wishes. I can't say that about some of the other bakeries in town...sadly. However, you CAN count on Federhofer;s!!!?“

“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.“

“Delicious coffee and best Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies!“

“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.“

“This is our 2nd custom cookie order and they were amazing. They make the process so easy and communicate throughout the entire customization process. From design to colors to theme, they provided guidance the whole time. And the price was amazing for the quality of product we got. We even had to make a change 2 weeks before pickup and they accommodated it right away. Thanks for making our kids birthdays that much better!!“

“We love Yolklore! Consistent, delicious, nice people. Love it very much!“

“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'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.“

“New place a few months old But with great Customer service. Coffee was excellent. And there's specialty or house shots for delicious. Cinnamon and brown sugar yum. They could use some Egg protein for the protein eaters Without carbs, but they do have other breakfast sandwiches.“

“Ashley did a wonderful job for my daughter’s birthday cake! Definitely going back for my son’s later this year.“

“Have many good memories eating this bread. My first girlfriend father worked at this bakery and or first date she made sandwiches and we went to tower Grove park for a picnic. I never tasted bread that good. The Italian loaf is amazing.“

“Dunkable deliciousness! I love it!“

“I was surprised to find nuts on my southwest chicken salad. I don't care for nuts, the ingredients weren't listed anywhere that I could see, and I've never encountered them on a southwest salad. I didn't want to waste the salad and im not allergic, so I picked them off. The rest of the salad was delicious. After I ate it, I realized there were more than just the three salad choices I saw in the first box. Just a little confusing but otherwise great place.“

“First time visiting today. We purchased roasted lamb which is fantastic. We also purchased cakes from bakery that were so delicious and not to sweet. Will definitely come back, as I didn't have time to check out everything the market had to offer and butcher.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

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

“I went to this location in Soulard Market. The smell of the bakery was incredible. The employees are extremely nice and helpful. My only complaint was that the double chocolate chip cookies were overcooked and difficult to chew; they were not edible. Maybe next time I go, things will be better.“

“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.“

“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 tres leches cake is the best I've ever had. Highly recommend stopping in!“

“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!“

“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'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.“

“Fantastic pretzels. We got one big softie and one cheddar brat and they were both FANTASTIC! It also only costed $7.21 for both, which is a major plus. Good quality and cheap? Yes, please! The staff was also very friendly. All around, 5/5 star place.“

“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.“

“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!“
