My review is way overdue for this place but I wanted to make sure to write it. This place created a…read morefantastic tomato sandwich with simple high quality ingredients. Obviously fresh tomatoes cut into thick slices were the biggest filler. But the yummy bread was also covered in a lovely cheesey spread. So simple yet delicious. I took home a chicken handpie and a plum handpie. The crust of the pies wasn't too thick and had great flavor. The plum one could have used a little more filling but it was still good. We sat outside to eat as it was a nice day. Very limited seating inside. Their menu does rotate so make sure to check it out. I didn't try a donut but I see they have them. Those prices seemed a bit steep to me??

I'd give this one star if possible. I really hate to leave negative reviews but I have to update…read morethe one I left 8 years ago. I had been a frequent & loyal customer here for many years. Last year, (I waited that long) I sent Simone, the owner, a message on instagram to let her know I was frustrated about having trouble getting any of the crème puffs she was constantly advertising. They were one of my favorite pastries she made. (Obv not super important I just thought she may not know & what could it hurt giving her some input from a customer, she may know know?) In this message I also told her how long I'd been supporting her & why and how much I loved her bakery. She is black, female, and truly an artist and master at her craft. With a good personality, That being said; she unleashed her fury on me, one of the angriest most condescending messages I had ever read. Not sure if I caught her on a bad day or she just doesn't handle feedback well. I was stunned and disappointed. Either way, I would never consider stepping foot into her bakery ever again. Her window has maybe 5 things to choose from. It's pretty sad, but there were 2 items I love love loved, and I drove out of my way and paid top dollar for those items. She's by far one of the most expensive bakeries in St. Louis, but I enjoyed supporting her I thought she was great. And she has a moving story. Sadly she doesn't know how to handle customers or feedback. I'm in customer service, 30 years, that's not how you do it, I still think she's a cool Person but not enough to support her. We have a ton of fabulous bakeries here I'd rather go to like Nathaniel Reid or Russell's or MO baking co....

The Bavarian looked like it had the chocolate topped when it was still warm and it was pretty thin and runny. Perhaps an earlier day experience would've been better and had more selection.

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 ‍)

The service was excellent, and the fact that they make their own bread is outstanding. Based on the food, location, and service alone, I would have gladly given them 5 stars. That changed when I saw the sign on the door stating that ICE officers would not be served. I respect the owners' right to have and express their personal opinions. But when you choose to publicly post those views at your business, you should also be willing to accept that customers may have a different opinion. My opinion is that I stand with law enforcement. The owners have every right in this great nation to take the position they have--and I have every right to decide that I won't return. I sincerely hope they never find themselves in a situation where they need the help of a law enforcement officer. But if they do, I believe those officers will still respond professionally and give them the respect and assistance that every person deserves. It's unfortunate, because without that issue, this would have been an easy 5-star review.

I saved my pop tart to have this morning and it didn't disappoint. This was the first I've ever had from scratch and I def prefer these over the regular ones you'd buy from the store.
