Despite having a long line, the service was quick and friendly. They have all the comfort flavors you want, plus some fun things outside the box. Noticed seasonal choices as well! I went with sea salt caramel, which was perfectly rich with a hint of salt. It truly had a sense of home-made, which is always so exciting to find.

Delicious! We've been here before and the flavor experience is phenomenal. I, unfortunately,…read morecouldn't take any home back to K.C. because I don't own a transportable icebox. So? What do you do when someone has created their own thirty one flavors? It's so hard to decide, particularly when you have my taste palette. Both my husband and I enjoyed a scoop of the creme brulee ice cream. He had a scoop of bourbon pecan, and enjoyed it, while I had a scoop of lemon poppy seed, which wasn't too sweet, but nicely tart.

They looked beautiful I almost couldn't bare to bite into them (but of course I did). The chocolate covered Belgian waffle may have been the star of our show but the churro donut and spinach feta pastry were no less than 9/10s. My biggest qualm is that they listed on the website that they have chai lattes, and we were told they only had brewed chai. Quite disappointing. There were also a few interactions with stuff in which I felt a bit rushed or judged, especially when we were asking to get all of our pastries warmed (apparently the waffle stays cold ‍)

We found Wei Hong Bakery while I was visiting St. Louis with my uncle, and I'm so glad we stopped…read more It's a tiny little bakery next to a much larger, run down looking restaurant. Honestly, if you judged it by the outside, you might drive right past it. There is one parking spot in front, and then a run down parking lot behind and to the side. The moment I walked in, I felt like I was back in my childhood. The lime green decor, the dark bakery display cases filled with buns, and the small plates of food inside reminded me of the Cantonese bakeries I grew up going to. They also had ready to go meals wrapped up to take home. We bought a bunch of things to try. We had the beef cheung fun, siu mai, BBQ pork baos, sesame balls, egg custard tarts, and one of my favorites, the giant round sponge cake. Everything was fresh and really tasty. The roast pork looked delicious too, with nice crispy skin. The biggest surprise for me was seeing lo po beng (Old Wife Cake). We can hardly ever find it on the East Coast, so whenever we do, we always buy some for my mom. Seeing it here made me so happy. I live in the Metro D.C. area, where we have some really good Cantonese bakeries, so I wasn't expecting much from this tiny place. But honestly, Wei Hong Bakery could definitely give many of the bakeries back home a run for their money. Don't let the outside fool you. If you're looking for authentic Cantonese bakery items in St. Louis, this little bakery is absolutely worth a visit. It brought back so many childhood memories, and I'd definitely stop again the next time I'm in town.

When I'm looking for a small treat for myself and my friends, Jars has never let me down!…read more At first, I hesitated to visit the location in Clayton because I really didn't want to deal with street parking or the fees that come with it. However, I found that it's conveniently situated in a shopping plaza with Schnucks and Barnes & Noble. The spacious parking lot is free, making it much easier! I tried a little bit of everything to sample their seasonal flavors, and they were all delicious. My favorite is the strawberry shortcake, which is there all the time (not seasonal), so I get it every time. Definitely check it out!

It is much finer and airy than what our shaved ice machine at home can do. All the flavors we got were amazing. We also got the dulce de leche, strawberry shortcake, cloud candy. They were out of the coffee flavor so couldn't try the vampuccino. Apparently it takes 48 hours for the shaved ice to cool and be ready. The staff was very friendly. Will come back next time we are in St Louis. FYI. The place is small. So only two tables inside, but there was also some outdoor seating.

Between the two visits we go the Mocha Chocolate Chip, two Hank's Original, Banana Pudding, Key Lime, and a mini-Almond Cappuccino twice. The Almond Cappuccino is my go-to flavor and it is awesome. Creamy with that coffee flavor! The Banana Pudding was a great flavor for a cheesecake, so creamy and a great touch with the vanilla wafer on top. All the cakes are in the case to see, making your choice harder. You can take your order to go or sit at one of the few tables in the space.

These are the things I ordered Portuguese egg tart- this was good. The custard was well set and the bake was perfect Mango panna cotta - panna cotta was solid, the mango tasted canned Umami Sour dough - small loaf which on their board was labeled at $6.50 but was actually 8.50. Unfortunately they pulled it out so the oven too soon so was underbaked. Had to toast it after cutting to cook it more which is disappointing for a bakery. I am hoping perhaps this was an off day for them.

One flavor of ice cream available? Not a good starting sign!…read more Now I didn't get as many outdoor pictures this weekend as I had intended... but that's what happens when I heatwave happens in the middle of nowhere right? (But at least I remembered the food photo this time! So I"m not totally on dementia notice yet :) ) But I was having one of those goof-off days, (sorta) spent more than I should have at the World Market (I can't help it! The Sasume soft drinks -ALWAYS- Get me! (the Greatest Japanese invention ever :) ) So I'm REALLY needing Ice-cream. but i mean real ice cream. Then I remembered this place I promised myself I would stop in.. Jilly's. Driven past it a few times, saw it had once gotten a USA today recommendation, and the big sign had "cupcakes, ice cream and coffee" written right there. Go in and there's not really a vibe to the place. There is an ice cream counter and a cup-cake counter, and a couple of soda fridges. The problem is.. I'm going in wanting ice cream, make my way over ot check and there's ONLY ONE tub in the entire case with anything in it. And it's BUTTER PECAN??? I swear, maybe i just need to lower my expectations or something? But then how do I be the best "Yelpee" i can be? Anyway enough about the introspective for now. So I'm here, let's see what else we can have problems with today, shall we? The "coke" fridge has a limited supply of drinks.. I guess the stockers hadn't run yet today? (so -1 star for no ice cream/drinks). Well, it's a heatwave, so coffee's out. and that just leaves Cupcakes.... and wow.. these things are HUGE! And that's just the cupcake, that's not counting the icing on top! Basically, two entirely different layers.. one for the cake and one for the frosting.. (talk about a sugar coma!) Anyway, time to take a pack of 4 to go... (the sit down locale wasn't really much to my recollection, it just seemed "there" as if this wasn't a good day as I don't' recall a lot of the amenities as shown in most Yelpers photos., or I was just too hot to notice. ). so it's grab and go... And I realize, just looking at them; this is not one of those deserts you can eat and drive, so maybe a full sealed rack is a good thing right?) I make it home and wouldn't you know it; I forgot that cupcakes were actually "Stuffed".. Surprise!! 3 deserts in one! Cake, Filling, and Icing! Anyway, I don't even make it all the way through the first cupcake as a whole before I realize... Yep, Sugar Coma all the way! Basically, you've been warned you can order more than 1 cupcake to yourself, but count on leftovers if you do!! Anyway, I finally snapped out of my sugar coma and got around to writing things before i go for another sugar coma (dont' forget, I ordered 4 cupcakes!!). So yes these things are huge and they are priced a little more than usual cupcakes, but absolutely worth every penny So IRONICALLY, if i had gone in for Cupcakes alone... this would be a 5* review. As I was originally going for ice cream (And am so OVER butter pecan), 4 *'s it is at least for me. but we've given you the steps to get your own 5* time at Jilly's!
