We went here for pastries and tamales. The Tamales were pretty tasty. I am usually not a Tamales…read morefan but these were good. They have lots of pastries selections and they taste not too sweets which is good. I wish the pastries were also listed in English because I cannot tell what they were and just select them with how they look and hoping they have custard inside. There were just too many of them for me to web search it.

Diana's Bakery on Cherokee Street -- ¡qué delicia! A true St. Louis treasure with beautiful Latin…read moreflavor. The moment you step into Diana's, you're wrapped in the warm, sweet aroma of a traditional panadería -- fresh breads, sugar-topped pastries, and that unmistakable feeling that everything here is made con amor. The pastry cases are a celebration of color and flavor -- pillowy conchas, golden empanadas, trays of vibrant pan dulce, and fresh breads like bolillos and telera rolls that practically beg to come home with you. Every bite feels authentic, comforting, and joyful -- the kind of baking that carries tradition in every crumb. The conchas are especially spectacular -- soft, lightly sweet, with that perfect sugary shell. Pair one with a cup of coffee and suddenly the whole morning feels like a little fiesta. I especially love popping in and picking up fresh bread for Sunday brunch. There's something about bringing home warm bolillos or sweet pastries that instantly turns brunch into a celebration. But what really makes Diana's shine is the spirit of the place. There's warmth, laughter, and that welcoming neighborhood energy that makes you want to linger just a little longer. The staff are so gracious and kind -- the kind of hospitality that makes you feel like familia. Diana's Bakery is more than a bakery. It's flavor, tradition, culture, and alegría all in one beautiful little spot on Cherokee Street. Auténtico. Delicioso. Puro sabor latino. -- Big Daddy Tedd Energy

I have been a fan of Damn Fine Handpies since they were a small booth at the Tower Grove Farmer's…read moreMarket. Their donut and handpie creations are truly out of this world. The owner, Madeline, is a sweatheart and pours her heart and soul into the place. This is a must visit when in Stl. The handpies and donuts change monthly, so there's always something new! PS, please being back the smoked brisket handpie :)

The cashier was delightful and told me her favorite of the options I mentioned to her. The sandwich…read morecame out quick and was amazing. The croissant was very light and the chorizo had a slight heat which was phenomenal, and the runny yolk in the egg was perfect. The chicken in the hand pie was just a teeny bit dry but the pie tasted so great it didn't bother me. The crust was the perfect consistency and was flavorful in and of itself. As far as the Boston crème, it was amazing! I've never had a springier donut. The coating was chocolate and was very unique. The cream inside was a great texture. My husband said the coffee was great. The cherry flavor was very strong but didn't overpower the coffee.

I was so looking forward to trying their vegan cheesecakes when I heard they were coming to STL…read moreVegFest. Lucky me, their booth was right next to mine! I got 3 different flavors because it was too hard to decide. Strawberry Shortcake, Caramel Pecan, and Oreo. Whew chile! Each and every one of these flavors were divine! The cheesecake was so creamy and delicious. No weird aftertaste like with some other folks' vegan cheesecakes. The graham cracker crust was perfectly light. The toppings were all delicious. And everything was so fresh! You can tell they cook with love and pride - you can taste it. This is easily one of the best vegan cheesecakes I've had in my 14 years as a vegan. I would order each of these flavors again, and I'm looking forward to trying more flavors in the future.

We made a quick stop at Foundry Bakery and ordered a wide selection -- everything was delicious…read more We tried the milk bun, lavender yuzu berry cookie, egg tart, black sesame panna cotta, pineapple gem, orange bun, berry trio walnut bread, and the cronut. Not a single miss. The biggest standouts were the lavender yuzu berry cookie and the berry trio walnut bread. The cookie was incredibly well balanced -- floral, citrusy, and not overly sweet -- and easily one of the best cookies I've had in a while. It's also a pretty large cookie, so good for sharing... or not The berry trio walnut bread had great structure despite being packed with nuts and dried fruits -- really thoughtfully baked and especially amazing toasted. Overall, Foundry is a really great bakery. Absolutely worth the drive to try something new, and I'll definitely be coming back.

The staff was also super sweet and friendly. 20/10, will go broke going back here. No notes.

5 Stars - Pharaoh's Donuts is a MUST-Visit!…read more Pharaoh's Donuts at 8 Maryland Plaza in St. Louis has officially earned my attention! Oh. My. Goodness!!! These yeasty, pillow-soft, melt-in-your-mouth little jewels of joy literally took my breath away. Every city I visit, I make it a mission to go doughnut hunting, but lately all I've been finding are oversized, over-decorated doughnuts that look amazing but lack flavor. Not Pharaoh's. These doughnuts are all about the taste. The rich, perfectly crafted yeast dough wraps your mouth with so much incredible flavor that I was literally salivating with every bite. They are light, fresh, airy, and absolutely unforgettable. This is what a real doughnut should taste like! And let's talk about the customer service! AJ was just as sweet as the treats they serve. She welcomed me with genuine kindness, asked where I was from, how long I'd be in St. Louis, and made me feel like more than just another customer. Then, just when I thought the experience couldn't get any better, I got back to my truck and discovered she had blessed me with three extra doughnuts to try! Now that's hospitality. Thank you, AJ, for making my first visit so memorable, and thank you, Pharaoh's Donuts, for reminding me what an authentic, delicious yeast doughnut is supposed to taste like. I'll definitely be back every time I'm in St. Louis. 5 out of 5 Stars! Highly recommended!
