I needed breakfast and was in the mood for something light. Since I was in the area, I figured I'd give this bakery a try. When I walked in, they were still in the middle of putting everything out, so some of the shelves were bare and without name tags. The donuts caught my eye first, but I thought I'd be interested in the larger pastry items. Once everything was set out, I went with my first choice and got the Ube Mochi Donut. There were only a few people in there, so checking out was fast. My first few bites left me curious and wanting more all at the same time. I couldn't figure out what the flavor was but I knew it reminded me of a funnel cake. Either way, it was incredibly light, fresh, and one of the better donuts I've had in a long time. I intend to come back when I have more time and try out different things. read more

I used to live just down the street and honestly, I'm mad this wasn't there when I lived there because this place is AWESOME. So many fresh, delicious options. The hardest part is choosing. I got the pineapple cakes (my husband was a big fan), the cheese bread (so good), and my siblings got some mochi donuts (wow) and other items that they were big fans of. I also got a boba tea and to be completely honest, it was probably the best I've had in the area. And I'm a boba fan. I got the passionfruit tea and there were passionfruit seeds, they obviously make everything super fresh and put fresh fruit in their drinks. PLUS they give you what you pay for. I can't justify boba very often because I get it, pay $8 for a drink, and it's 3 sips with the amount of ice you get. NOT HERE. They give you so much tea! Literally such a cool spot, I hope they continue to do well because it's fantastic. And if you're in the area, please stop in and give them some business!! read more

Wow what an experience! I was searching for a bakery that sold Japanese Donuts on Google and came across this gem. It smells really good in there! The lighting is excellent for the display of items and I love the system they have in place for you to pick your items! The cashiers were extremely friendly and would recommend if you ask. They had such a big variety of items and literally something for everyone. My favorite was the onion roll. It was literally one of the best rolls I've ever had in my life. Everything tasting fresh, light and not full of sugar. They had some really unique items! I'll be back! read more

Olive Bakery has quickly become a go-to for us. It's hard to order wrong -- everything we've tried has been fresh, soft, and nicely balanced without being overly sweet. The pork floss bun is my favorite: airy, pillowy bread with that perfect sweet-savory combo and creamy spread. The purple potato bun is just as good -- smooth, gently sweet filling wrapped in tender bread that feels comforting rather than heavy. Great variety, reasonable prices, and easy to grab a mix to share. We'll definitely be back. read more

Very cute bakery! Partially self serve with some pastries you have to ask for. The space is bright and tons of parking. The service was fast and kind. The dessert was good overall nothing too special we have strawberry roll cake (sponge like cake with cream, good!) & chocolate Mochi donut . The tea was absolutely delicious! They only have one size but it was very worth it ! Will be back for the tea for sure . read more

Local Asian pastry shop, located in "Chinatown STL" (Olive Blvd./University City). Sweet friendly staff! Pastries, Cakes, desserts, and Bubble teas. Seats and tables on both ends of the bakery to hangout, work, or study. Parking lot available! The black sugar bubble tea Not too sweet and boba had perfect chewiness! I hope their consistent with their boba. Strawberry cake slice was so yummy, too. :) read more

Olive Bakery was such a fun find. It's kind of funny because now that all the Korean bakeries have gotten super popular, it feels like the Chinese ones are starting to pop up too. I went for the first time and tried a bunch of stuff because I couldn't decide. The Japanese cheesecake was really airy and light, not too sweet, and had a nice subtle flavor. Definitely a 9/10. The light cheesecake was way thicker and had a perfect rich cheesecake taste. 10/10 easily. The tiramisu was soft and creamy with a strong coffee flavor, super good, like an 8/10. The mango cup was fresh and creamy too, kind of refreshing, also an 8/10. the boba? 10/10. It's a great little spot with a lot of potential. I'd come back, maybe earlier in the day next time to catch more of the freshly baked stuff. read more

We went here around 1030 am on a weekday, it has most of their pastries in stock. I liked their purple yam bun a lot, great amount of real purple yam filling and the bread you can tell was freshly bake that day. The red bean bun was decent in filling. The mango cloud cup was great with little bites of mango chunks. The taro bread was decent, however i like the purple yam bread more. I also go for the custard bread, however here they do not have this yet. They said they will in the future. read more

Stopped by around 11am and there were lots of pastry and baked goods to select from. The bakery is big with some seating for people to enjoy in store. Service was fast since there were only a couple of guests. I got a Ube roll which didn't make it to photo cuz it was sooo good!!! The milk tea is good, boba was chewy and has a nice sweet to it. You can lower the sweetness level too! Only thing I didn't like was the parking lot has a weird laying speed hump. read more

A new asian bakery right on Olive! I went on a Sunday afternoon and bought a few pastry items and a mango yakult drink. It's a self serve style where you take a tray and tongs and choose bread from the case. They have a few sweet and savory options. I forgot to take a picture of the items I got but the mochi donut was great! There's a large parking lot and some seating inside. It wasn't too crowded on a Sunday afternoon. My only wish is that they had more selection and greater variety. read more

I woke up today and wanted to go to a bakery. I found this bakery on Google maps and it seemed to new and I wanted to try it out. It's in an area of the city. I don't go to a lot, but I was happy to see that there was a big parking lot with plenty of spots right out front. When you go in, there's a cabinet with baked goods that you have to ask for the cabinet where you can grab what you want. I only got the one donut from the grab and go section. They had a bunch of different flavors of mochi donuts. The mochi donut was delicious and not too sweet, which is how I feel like most donuts are. He was super clean inside and very easy to understand what to do. The service was pretty quick. There were some other people there dining in their seating section. I would come here again if I wanted a reasonably priced baked good. read more

Great! I went on a Wednesday after work (so about 5/6pm) and they didn't have many buns. I was looking for more savory buns options, but they only had two hotdog scallion buns and a few crab puff buns left. The rest were sweet buns (mochi donuts, croissants, and other pastries). The concept is simple, you get a tray and some tongs, then you look around the displays for whatever buns you want! I checked out, the ladies were nice, and got my order right. Inside was fairly quiet (guessing it being a weekday evening). And there are a few tables to sit with your friends and have a few buns. Overall prices are decent (ranging from $2.50+) and I would definitely go back for more buns! read more

Tried this new bakery for the first time today and grabbed a few items to go. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to the hype. I got their mango croissant, and it was honestly disappointing--it seemed like a Costco croissant filled with some cream, not something freshly made in-house. Definitely not what I expected for $4. read more

If you liked Tous Les Jours, this place is 100% for you! It has the same self-service gimmick then you pay by the counter, so when it just opened I got super excited to try. It has incredibly nice vibes and is really spacious. There are some seating, and lots of trays and tongs. There is a wide selection of desserts and even drinks to choose from. I tried their mochi doughnut and brought a loaf of red bean bread. For anybody wondering, the bread expires in four days. Everything tasted good and wasn't too sweet. It was pleasing to eat taste and texture wise, and felt fresh. Olive Bakery is a nice place, I think about it a lot and I hope to come again even if it is a long drive. It is worth it. read more

Yay for another Asian bakery, which are soft, fluffy, sweet and savory options that complement perfectly with a good cup of boba tea or coffee. This store is in the plaza right across the street from Olive Supermarket with convenient parking. I visited on a weekday around 2pm and it was empty. The store is clean, newly renovated, simple decor and a good menu option. I got their hot Morning Latte (coffee and tea mixed) and a couple pork floss bakeries. All was authentic and delicious; I'll be coming back when we are in the area! read more

I love the set up and the staff were all sweet. The space is massive and the bathrooms were huge and clean. It's fun to be able to grab a tray, some tongs, and pick out what you want...but I would've liked if some of the items had a little more detail as to what they were. I grabbed a variety of items and we tried them at home. We didn't really love any of them, but maybe I just chose the wrong things. read more

We LOVE Olive Bakery the breads are so fresh and soft and there's a lot of variety to choose from. We've been a few times on weekends and they are constantly stocking the shelves. Compared to TLJ, their prices are lower, they have different bread types (bbq pork buns, snow cheese buns, tuna buns, etc), and in our opinion, the drinks and cakes aren't as good as TLJ. However, cube tea studio is right next door! Very convenient to shop at the Olive supermarket and drop by to get some treats in this strip. There are a few tables and sofa chairs to sit at inside but they fill up quick. read more

Olive Bakery is a nice addition to the Asian Bakery scene in St. Louis. The store front is spacious and bright. I like that they offer a good variety of pastries as well as desserts. They also have an interesting drink menu for you to choose. Similar to other Asian bakery, you come in, grab a tray and pick your own items and then go up to the registry to pay. The price is actually pretty reasonable with the majority falls under $5 with some exceptions. I enjoyed the items that I tried so far. The Japanese cheesecake is pretty decent. Korean sesame mochi was good. The texture is a little hard but the flavor is addicting. The Hokkaido milk bun was my favorite. It was super soft and milky. Highly recommend you trying out these items. I haven't tried the drinks so I need to come back. The staff were friendly. read more

My husband and I have been eagerly awaiting the opening of Olive Bakery and it does not disappoint! They have a wide variety of specialty buns (scallion bun, taro bun, red bean paste bun, pork floss bun, pineapple bun, and more!). They offer other desserts as well like parfaits and mousse treats. The cafe is well organized and well maintained (everything is so shiny!). They also offer boba but we didn't grab any, so we will be coming back to try from their selection as well! The service was very friendly and checkout was nice and quick! Can't wait to come back and try more of their treats! read more

Stopped by this bakery around the corner from my house and glad I did. The place is very spacious and beautiful. The workers were very friendly with greets. The pastries were really good all made in house from what they told me. Not they do have items you have to warm up but they don't warm them up at the bakery. They are more so take home and warm up items so keep that in mind if you get those items. read more

The best types of places are the ones you discover while driving through an area and deciding to spontaneously stop in to check it out. Olive Bakery was a perfect example of that. My partner and I were running errands nearby, and I said to him, "Oooo... a bakery!" He immediately turned our car into the parking lot. We went at around 1 PM on a Saturday, and despite it being a very rainy, gloomy day, there were lots of people inside! I'm obsessed with the decor. It's modern, minimalist, clean, and inviting. Everything was so well lit, especially the display cases. I love how most of the display cases are self serve. I feel like I haven't seen that at too many bakeries. We grabbed a tray and some tongs from a table, and then we were able to grab what we wanted. We had the hardest time deciding because everything looked so amazing! We ended up trying an ube mochi donut, strawberry swiss roll, strawberry popo cup, and a mango puff. I regret not grabbing the strawberry croissant, but I guess that's the first thing I'll be grabbing next time! Everything was awesome! Staff was so sweet and welcoming, too! read more
