They are always consistent! I love coming into the bakery and I love grabbing this hot dog bun! The staff is always nice! There's a few seats in the front if you want to stay and eat. But it's good to go! They have a large selection of sweet and savory pastries! Also lots of loaves and cookies. I also love getting their cakes because they aren't too sweet and decently priced! I would recommend calling them ahead of time (maybe 2-3 days beforehand) for cakes! I have walked in and just picked up a cake before, but the options may be limited depending on the day!

Absolutely beautiful bakery, really great selection. Will be happy to stop by again! I enjoyed everything I picked out immensely. Must try if you are craving sweets!

I came here twice lately. Second time was ordering a cake for my son's graduation celebration. I ordered the fruity layered cake. Oh my goodness, it was so delicious! The fruits were blended in the cream in the layers and on top! Not super sweet which I like a lot! We have a small group of 7. We almost finished the cake right after lunch! The place also has all kinds of other baked goods, I bought a few fried donuts and they were so good! Will come back for other bakery needs for sure!

If you've never been to Kim's bakery, I can safely say you're missing out. I stopped by on a Sunday morning just to browse and ended up getting a kimchi beef koroke, a curry chicken koroke, a custard bread, and one of their ham sandwiches. My family will get the sandwich bread (ask them to slice it for you if it's cold), which we also really enjoy. There's some seating outside but not really inside. Staff are very friendly and nice as well. Would definitely recommend to anyone and everyone in the area-- they are stocked differently depending on the day but I especially love all their bread items. Safe to say one of my favorite bakeries in STL to stop by!

Matcha Cake Roll, Melon Bread, Azuki(red bean) and Cream Bread, and Chicken Curry Korokke(Croquette)
J C.

Kim's bakery is a breath of fresh air and truly a treat compared to the sea of mediocre shops offering generic vanilla or chocolate cake. The storefront is bright, open, and stocked with plenty of hand crafted baked goods. I picked up a match roll, melon bread, red bean and cream bread, chicken curry korokke, and rice donuts(not pictured as they were eaten on the way home), the staff is friendly and food is amazing. I'm not normally a person who frequents bakeries, as most bakeries make things too sweet and options are limited, while there's plenty of sweets to be had at Kim's, they have an offering of plenty of savory and not too sweet options here which are far more appealing for my palate. One of the best bakeries around, I highly recommend the rice donuts and melon bread.

This is a place I go to often in for years to get the custard fill bread. The bread has the right amount of sweetness to them. I have tried quite a lot of other bread at this place but the custard fill bread is the one that brings me back to buy more. My kids especially love them. I am not aware of any other bakery in saint Louis that make them beside this place. The selections varies therefore best to come here early if wanting to buy in a big quantity .

Michael T.

Their cakes have all been great. They never disappoint. It is recommended to reserve a cake days in advance so that you are guaranteed to get what you want.

We no longer live in the area, but when we're back in town, we always stop at Kim's Bakery. We love the selection, tasty food, and friendly staff. Today, we were able to get some of our favorites...red bean bun, chocolate coronet, chocolate cookies, and almond cookies. Nothing here is too sweet, and it's always fresh and delicious. Don't miss out on this gem if you live in the area.

I like going here for freshly made bakeries. The store is always clean and neat. Staffs are friendly and welcoming. My favorites are their custard and cream cheese breads - which tends to be sold out pretty fast. I tried their melon breads couple times before but it's not my cup of tea. They also have some savory items and birthday cakes. My family and I especially loved the sweet potato cake here a lot. Must try item!

Whipped cream vanilla birthday cake
Nan N.

Our colleague introduced us to this birthday cake and it was absolutely delicious! It's one of the lightest cake I've had. I'm sure I can eat the whole cake by myself with no problem! The bakery shop is small but packed with goodies.

Sunny P.

This little gem of a bakery is small but has a lot of selections for their baked goods!! They have everything from classic red bean buns to fancy cream-filled pastries and even green tea flavored treats. My personal favorite is the korean style croquette bread. The lady working there was an absolute sweetheart too. Super helpful and friendly. Overall, I would recommend it!

They say it's "better late than never", a week late but still want to share about Valentine's Day…read morehere. First, the fact that my latte kicked the meal off with a Happy Valentine's - so cute. We had a little bit of everything: frittata, loaded waffles, pancakes, chocolate croissant, and potatoes. Everything came out together, warm, and tasty. The waffles were soft and a great balance of flavor and sweet. The whipped cream, I could have eaten a tub of. We arrived at 10:00, without reservations (they only take reservations for parties of five or more), and were promptly seated. When we left there was a bit of a crowd waiting to be seated. Before leaving I popped over to the bakery (where I have been a few times) and grabbed some goodies to take home for later. Love the bakery and all the options available. Great place to have a nice brunch with friends, a date, or just grab some sweets. The staff were great, friendly, and helpful with everything. Stop in and show them some love.

Went in for a few pastries/dessert items. Staff was friendly and offered suggestions. We ordered…read morethe following individual slices: banana chocolate cake, strawberry mousseliine cake and an eclair. The banana chocolate cake wasn't what we were expecting. It had more of a coffee flavor than bananas or chocolate. I'm not a fan of coffee so this item was a disappointment to us, but the other two items were delicious especially the strawberry mousseline cake. I could eat that cake everyday! The eclair had just the right amount of custard inside. I wish I had taken photos of the desserts, but we were so excited to try them that we forgot. There was a huge selection of desserts to pick from there so next time we'll try something else. If you like macaroons, they had one of the largest amount of flavors I've ever seen. We used to go there a lot about ten years ago when we lived closer and would always get the carrot cake. It's always been good too. The place has been redone and gotten a lot bigger since we were last there. You could easily host a small get together there and the ambiance is so cute.

I went inside just because I was curious - I'll be oreorder and drive through next time. Front area was clean with a display counter of pretend cookies and menus. There's a menu board for drink specials; I ordered the seasonal Snowberry, a concoction of water, raspberry, coconut, and vanilla. They offer many soda and water combos. ai recommend looking at menu before you go i ordered 3 cookies, all gluten free: a lemon tart,ca lemon raspberry, and the namesake twisted sugar. The Twisted Sugar is a sugar cookie with a coconut lime frosting. The coconut is likely extract and has a bitter aftertaste. Not my favorite despite loving coconut. The lemon tart was lemony and quite good. My favorite was the lemon with raspberry swirl. Really nice combo of tart and sweet. The cookies themselves aren't overly sweet; the frosting adds the sweet. Fun little stop for a little treat The gals working were very nice and helpful.

The best way to enjoy these cookies is to cut them up and share with a group so you can try different ones. Some of my favorites include peanut butter nutella, raspberry lemon and swizzle sugar.

The display cases are filled with works of art, that taste delicious. The staff is cheerful, friendly and all of them dressed in uniforms gives a feeling of professionalism. I enjoyed a Smoked Ham and Gruyere Croissant and a black coffee in house. I was to have a seat at the counter in their front window and relax while my dogs were at the doggie spa up the street. The croissant was super-super flakey and the smoked ham paired beautifully with the gruyere cheese. I couldn't come to NRB and not take home a couple of sweet treats. My favorite treat was the Raspberry Lemon Financier. It was so good the next morning with my home brewed coffee. Then that evening I enjoyed a Lemon Cake whose name I cannot recall. It exceeded moistness and the strong lemon flavor was just what I like. In addition to my treats, I got a Chocolate Chip Pecan Cookie for my fur-babies pet stylist as part of her tip. My only dislike and it's minor, is that they serve Kaldi's Coffee. I'm glad they are supporting another local small business, but I am not a fan of their product. Typically when I know a cafe serves Kaldi's, I pass on the coffee, but I made an exception here.

I'd heard great things about this bakery for its authentic French flavors and long lines, so I…read moretried the Roast Beef Sandwich, Smoked Pork Sandwich, Four Cheese Honey Focaccia, and Chocolate Almond Croissant. I was pleasantly surprised by how flavorful everything was. The sandwich bread was expertly crafted, soft without being tough, making it easy to chew. The pastries stood out as well, with a rich cheesiness and chocolatey sweetness that felt unique. Service was efficient with multiple staff members assisting customers. The place also has limited window seating available for dining.

My review is based on having a Turkish background. I think positive reviews left for this place are…read morefrom people that have no knowledge of middle eastern food and have very low standards. I was excited to finally try this place even though I was warned about the baklavas being too dry. Sadly that's true. I dint think they are made fresh. They lack syrupy. I understand they don't have much food traffic but cutting down on the types of baklava and freshly making them should solve that problem. Probably the second worst baklava I've had out here. I see why they make shakes though. Since they don't sell ans have leftover stock. We initially sat down to eat but it was so awkward that there's no music and so quiet. My husband said they don't vacuum between the chairs which were full of crumbs. We eventually got our food to go. The second issue is the food. We got a sucuk flatbread and ans egg pide. This is not a pide, it's just pizza bread. Cheese is mozzarella, should have been beyaz cheese. Middle eastern cuisine doesn't use this cheese. My egg was raw and just throw in a corner. Could have saved myself money by just getting domino's, at least my food would be cooked. If you want quality, try Balkan treat box, Aya Sofia or Garbanzo. I would also like to state that there is one employee that works front and back. I didn't see him washing his hands once going back into the kitchen to handle my food. Seems like there a big hygiene issue

But in the midst of getting lost, I found some really cool unique things inside of the building that this bakery is located in so it was a win overall. Anyway, I was really excited to try it and I looked it up before I came. I heard they had some very unique things and I was not surprised that unique was exactly what it was. They had so many different flavors of chips so many different sauces, homemade maple, pretty much anything you can think of that can be homemade in a flavor they had it and I loved it. I love how they had an area to sit down if you wanted to enjoy the bakery items or you could take them to go, which is what we opted for since we were having to get back on the road. Got some of the chips to try and they were not bad at all and grabbed some focaccia and a cinnamon roll and I must say everything was immaculate.
