    This place will change your life, but it might also ruin your life. I finally understand what a…read moregood hand pie (and good donut) tastes like, but my life is also permanently ruined because now my standards and expectations for other places will be extremely high. My friend and I split a dill cream cheese hand pie ($11), sausage gravy hand pie ($11), and apple fritter ($6). The crust on the hand pies was so flaky, and baked just enough so that it developed a toasty, nutty flavor without getting burnt. Each hand pie was stuffed with savory filling that wasn't overpowering in saltiness. My mouth is watering while writing this! I usually go for the savory instead of sweet option but my friend insisted that we get a donut and I am glad we did. This was probably the best apple fritter I've ever had in my life! It had chunks of apple that I could see and taste. The dough was so fluffy and soft. I could even taste the subtle brown butter flavor in the glaze! So good! If I lived next door to this place, you'd find me here every day.

    Tried this for the first time! Really cute spot, we had seen they had some long John donut specials…read morefor the month on Instagram and it's been on the list to try for sure. Blending in on a street near Shaw, this is a must stop spot. Me and my wife shared a Bacon Breakfast sandwich and then the special French silk and Yuzu macadamia nut long John's. They also gave us a free regular donut since we said it was our first time visiting! The sandwich is the epitome of sometimes keeping it simple is best. It was so tasty, the bread was so fluffy with a slight crunch from a toast. Delicious aioli brought it all together. The donuts...I hope these long John's become regular items because GOODNESS they were tasty. Definitely stop by to try each before they are gone if not. Overall I know we will be back, especially because we didn't even try a hand pie this time...whoops. A cute and tasty spot with some great people working there.

    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

    Unfortunately I think I just don't like a lot of Mexican pastries. My friend that is more familiar…read morewith these types of sweets told me that dry and crumbly is the style, and that's just not for me. I tried several different things and didn't really like any of them. The sugar cookie with sprinkles, the almond cookie with powdered sugar, and the frosted chocolate sugar cookie were all no-go for me. I wanted to buy the wagon wheels (not sure if that's what they're actually called?) but they were plain! No cinnamon sugar on them. The service was pretty good! We didn't chat with anyone as we shopped but once we got to the counter, they were friendly and helpful. The line went by quickly and the atmosphere was warm and cozy. My compatriots also got several things and I'll add their reviews too! Cannoli - the filling had a gap in the middle and it was little disappointing. The filling was good. The shell was a bit thick. Pretty good overall. Cheesecake - not my favorite. Tasted good and the texture was perfect but not cream cheese-y enough for my liking. The chocolate version might be better. Giant meringue - really good! Nice and crumbly with a great taste. Wedding cookies - didn't taste like anything and they were super dry. Literally no almond flavor at all.
