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

They've got their "naughty" menu with alcohol named flavors and a "nice" side, plus a full vegan lineup (which is rare and very appreciated). I went with the vegan lemon poppy seed and it was unreal--bright, creamy, and one of those bites where you just pause for a second like... yeah, this is it. The spaces are always cute, we sat outside, and they even have doggy ice cream which is honestly the cherry on top for alota folks. 100% worth the stop.

We walked in and were warmly greeted by the bartender/server. Water and menus were immediately given, as well as some complimentary chocolate chip cookies. Everything on the menu looked so good, but I already knew I wanted the Bailey's brownie. My boyfriend got the banana split. After a short while our desserts arrived and I couldn't wait to dive in. The brownie was the perfect mixture of caramel and chocolate and mixed in with the ice cream was the cherry on top. I relished each bite and my palate was more than satisfied once I finished. In addition to the decadent dessert was the stellar service. Our water was always filled and it was a great experience. I'll def be coming back for my future brownie fix!

At 5min after close he was outright rude & said to basically get out. I understand we were a few min past closing but that behavior was uncalled for. Unfortunately they are closing so they just didnt care. But they do have other restaurants I no longer want to patronize based on this experience. The drinks were mostly good. Strong & tasty but the service left a bad taste.

This neighborhood ice cream shop is worth the drive and worth the wait. There is only street…read moreparking and expect about a 10-15 minute wait on a busy summer night. This is an amazing ice cream shop that uses nitrogen and makes your ice cream while you wait. It's quite a fascinating process to watch, and it leaves your ice cream with the most incredibly smooth texture. They have all the regular flavors, then they have alcohol infused flavors, and seasonal flavors as well. I chose the seasonal blackberry crumble, which is served with a cinnamon ice cream base. I think they use Vietnamese cinnamon because the flavor was amazingly intense. While their ice cream is priced higher than the average place, it is of higher quality, a larger portion, and premium ingredients are featured. It's well worth it. It's definitely in my top three favorite ice cream shops. There's a few scattered tables inside, but quite a few more on the patio outside. The staff was working so hard and I can't imagine how sore their wrists must be at the end of the night. Everyone was great.

I tried their pork floss bun and sesame ball. I wasn't a fan of the sesame ball or the pork bun, which was disappointing. With the sesame ball it's mainly because I'm starting to come to the realization that I don't like the taste of sesame seeds, which I didn't realize at the time. And the pork bun didn't have a good ratio of filling and bread, I think it could have used a little more filling. Overall my experience was alright, I haven't tried other items there, so there may be other things there that are worth trying that I don't know about.

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....
