    Christmas confetti ready-to-go
    Chrissy E.

    Wow! So this was place was recommended by my HR manager and she suggested we try it for our birthday celebrations we do each month. I opted to get the three cakes chosen below, the French vanilla ready-to-go, the chocolate chip ready-to-go, and the Christmas confetti ready-to-go. Each cake is customizable, is 9 inches and serves approx. 10. Ordering was simple as it's all done online; however, if you do have questions, you'll need to call and leave a vm. Other than that, it was a seamless process. Now to the cakes.... They're delicious! Absolutely delicious! I'm going to use a word that makes most people cringe and it's moist. The slices I had were moist, fluffy, airy and all around decadent. There were at least 5 people who all said, "mmmmmm, this is GOOD!" At the same time, so if you have that many people oohing and awing over cake, you're def. doing something right. I can't wait to try them again!

    Custom three tier wedding cake
    Rachel M.

    Best cake in stl!! I used The cakery for my wedding and they were very easy to work with and achieved my exact vision of what I wanted! In addition, to the looks the cake itself is even better! We did a custom three tier wedding cake with three different flavors with vanilla buttercream (chocolate, caramel, and golden yellow). We saved our top tier for our one year anniversary and it was still AMAZING!! I've heard people say that it's not good a year later but not ours! Since my wedding we have been back many times. I ordered my mother in law one of there ready-to-go cakes last month. She loves chocolate so I ordered the triple chocolate ready-to-go cake. It was a single layer chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream. I'm not the biggest chocolate person but I was obsessed! It was so good and wasn't overly rich like some chocolate cakes are. They also added words and gold sprinkles for free! There were additionally options, that's just what I picked. The online ordering system was really easy to use and pick up went smooth. They brought the cake to my car. One of my other favorites is the cake in the cup. It's 1 pint of cake which seems like a lot but it's so good you can't stop eating it. I usually buy one golden yellow and one chocolate and then mix it together and give my mom one. I'd definitely recommend the cakery for all your cake needs!

    Amazing cake and amazing service. They were able to support me in getting a cake the day of. Thank you for making our day special.

    single layer cake
    Danielle J.

    Still 5 stars! We order a cake each year for my daughter's birthday. This year, we ordered a Frozen II themed cake. Because of COVID-19, they had to cancel the custom order but was able to sell one of their single layer cakes. We couldn't let a year go by without a cake from The Cakery! They put some sprinkles on it and wrote "happy birthday" to make it as special as possible. I was impressed with the procedures to ensure a contact free pick-up. They were friendly as always. If you do not need a cake, it's worth a stop to get a "cake in a cup" to enjoy! This is the best cake in St. Louis.

    Needing a Birthday cake in a hurry... I Yelp local bakeries near my work and this little gem pops up. They have 9" cakes to go... Perfect. I ordered a Chocolate Chip Cake..but they needed to ice it first.. fresh baked today!! The Baker iced it and added some melted ganache with some chocolate chips and wrote my Birthday message!!! Everyone was so helpful... The prices are a little steep. $28 for a single layer cake???? I was told that Chocolate Chip was an excellent choice... Belive me..it was. I am not sure I have ever had a Chocolate Chip cake..but I believe it maybe my favorite now. They make cakes for all occasions.. and they even put the excess cake in plastic containers to purchase if you need that cake fix!!!

    An excellent bakery and staff very nice to work with. They did a great job with my birthday cake. Very tasty and just what i wanted. Top notch.

    I really enjoyed my first visit to the CAKERY! I bought a couple of cake pints, yellow cake and red velvet and they were delicious! The cake was moist and it was a lot of it stuffed into the pint container along with the perfect amount of fluffy and sugary buttercream! I will definitely be back!

    Candy Topping on Cake
    Steven B.

    It was time for a work birthday party and we discussing cake. One of my co-workers, said how about trying, "The Cakery". I immediately light up and said, YES! YES! I grabbed my smartphone, and showed them reviews and pictures on Yelp to sell them on the idea of ordering the cake from, The Cakery. My enthusiasm sold them and we ordered the birthday cake. The honoree is a big candy lover, so we selected one topped in a variety of sweet treats. The cake was a two tiered chocolate separated by a vanilla butter creme. The top was close to a Tiffany Blue dripping down the sides. Beautiful presentation. Our birthday boy loved his cake and my co-workers who had never experienced, The Cakery were totally impressed. They loved the rich flavor and how moist the cake was. This was a total win. Perhaps we'll celebrate the next birthday with cupcakes from, The Cup. I already started singing the praises of their cupcake store. Would I go again? Yes, I always love a good cake. When: October 7, 2017 Why: Birthday Celebration

    Why is this bakery in Yelp's top ten sugar-free bakeries for 2022? Do they actually have any sugar-free pastries available? ? Thank you.

    No, there are no sugar-free pastries. Not sure why Yelp put them in that category 🤔

    We went here for pastries and tamales. The Tamales were pretty tasty. I am usually not a Tamales…read morefan but these were good. They have lots of pastries selections and they taste not too sweets which is good. I wish the pastries were also listed in English because I cannot tell what they were and just select them with how they look and hoping they have custard inside. There were just too many of them for me to web search it.

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

Roast Beef, horseradish aioli, white cheddar, red onion on a poppy seed challah, oh my. On this day, they had something on the sweet side that caught my eye, a blueberry cream cheese Danish. I am always drawn to blueberry so I couldn't pass it up. I am not much of a sweet eater, hence the Roast Beef sandwich love but every once in a while, there is a sweet treat that I really love and this was one of those times! It was sweet, flaky, and delicious! I had a taste in the car and would have had another 1/4 after the sandwich but I ate the whole thing, I just couldn't stop. I hope they do and hope they don't have this more often!

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.

Every single time I roll with their General tao's Chicken. Every single time it exceeds expectations. Now, this is a takeout Cantonese spot so I have no idea how fresh it actually is. Nonetheless, I love it. I wish they still allowed dine in experiences, but I think since COVID they are take out only. Now, back to the food. The General Tao's has a solid kick and is drenched in the sweet sauce. A slight tang, plenty of sweetness, and the kick of peppers makes this dish a favorite. Their orange chicken is great as well. My partner always orders that. Super bright and citrusy with that same kick from the Szechuan. Lastly, got pot stickers for the first time and they were fire. Will absolutely roll with those again. they seem to stay pretty busy as a hefty line remains consistent when grabbing a bite, so sometimes you have to wait a bit, even if you ordered ahead. In any case, a top tier STL takeout spot for me!
