Got a same day cake for my daughter's birthday. It was the best cake I've ever had...ginger spice with cinnamon cream and ginger snap crumbles. Moist and fantastic! Plus, they were able to put her name on it and some custom icing decorations I asked for while I waiting. Love this place! read more

We ordered our wedding cake from The Cakery. It was so good that I have seriously thought about taking a piece off of our topper that is in our freezer before our one year anniversary. Damn you wedding cake, mocking me every time I open the freezer!! We had such a pleasant cake tasting with the staff and picked out the perfect cake for us. Moist lemon cake with creamy strawberry buttercream filling and vanilla buttercream outside. A-flippin-mazing!!! It was light, refreshing and perfect for a spring wedding. We were very simple with our wedding so they listened to that and decorated the cake with eggplant Callia Lilies to match our flowers and color. The decoration was not overdone and very minimal, just how we wanted. I thought the pricing was very reasonable as well. Who made up the rule that you should eat your wedding cake on your one year anniversary anyways???? Pish posh! I'm starting a four month rule cuz I can't wait to eat that cake again!!! read more

I saw this page pop up on Yelp and realized I never wrote a review for them! I thought they were called the Cakery Bakery but maybe they changed the name or I was just high on crack when I read their sign...anyyyyway... A few years ago I bought myself a birthday cake from them. Yes, how lame right? I clearly had no friends back then (at least none who could bake?!?!) and was craving a cupcake from the Cup....but then I was like "why the hell would I buy just ONE cupcake for my birthday when I could have a whole fucking cake?!" Damn straight. So you know what I did? I called up these awesome sexy mamas and I was like " BAKE ME A CAKE, BITCHES!" Well, not quite. I think I asked in a slightly more polite fashion than that! ;) But yeah, I had to order that sucker a whole solid month in advance. Which brings me to realize...my 24th birthday is a month away.....do I order another cake? Hmmmmmmmmm!!! Soooo tempted. The one I ordered was basically the Gold Rush cake. Only it had amazing pink and green blobs of frosting all over it (my favorite colors!!) See photos!! So yes.....nudge nudge hint hint....Sean H.....if you read this....Kate loves her some Cakery. GET ME SOME! ;D PS: Expensive as balls but WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!!!!!! read more

Great source for cakes...as evident in the name. I ordered a 9x13 choc with vanilla icing. Overall, it was an excellent cake and surpasses 95% of those I've had in the region. I think the icing was excellent as well...it seemed to have a hint of almond flavoring to it, a common ingredient used by other bakeries...but I can't stand the stuff. Will be back. read more

The cakery is AMAZING! The quality of the cake is superior to most in St. Louis, and they are priced very reasonably in comparison. My first experience was ordering a birthday cake for my mom, it was white on white, and a cute little round cake, different from the traditional boring sheet-cake. Their designs are modern and funky, unlike the ugly flowers on the top that is so common. But, orders need to be made in advance, because they book up quick! My second experience was my wedding cake. At the tasting, the consultant was so nice and attentive while listening to my vision. My wedding planner, being way more on the ball than me, had actually gone by the dress store and photographed the details of my dress to bring with us to the tasting! So, props to Shayna! They offered to let us try whatever flavors we wanted at no charge. A lot of places do charge for a tasting. We decided on the yellow cake with raspberry filling in half, and buttercream throughout. The buttercream is heavenly...even my icing-hating husband raves about it. About a month before the event, I called to verify my order and finalize the number of servings. The consultant was like,"Oh, I know your cake, we're soooo excited about the design, we have some really great ideas." It was great to hear that they were actually taking into account originality and not just making another cake. And it turned out BEAUTIFULLY! We also ordered the iced sugar cookies for our out-of-town welcome bags, and the guests were very appreciative for the sweet midnight snack! read more

Everything was amazing with our cake, and we were so very pleased. We never actually got any strawberry cake, which we had been looking forward to for months, but the venue's staff took our pieces away before we'd gotten to eat them. Sad face! Next time we're in Saint Louis, we will have to arrange for a small strawberry cake so we can finally get our fix. The cake was absolutely beautiful. All that we had envisioned and more. It tasted so great (the other flavours) and there wasn't any issues from the Cakery side. Plus, I feel that the prices are incredibly reasonable. Come to the Cakery for your wedding cake tasting, and I doubt you'll want to go elsewhere. Amazing. read more

The first time I tried a cake from The Cakery was at my brother's wedding in 2011. In that moment, I vowed to only purchase any future cakes from this establishment. It was hands-down, the BEST cake I have EVER eaten. (No offense, Mom) It was incredibly moist, and flavorful. Fast-forward two years to my Mother's birthday. She wanted a cake from a well-known, chain grocery store but, it's my Mother so, I had to go to the best. I called The Cakery, listed my specifications, and I was guided through the unknown world of cakes very easily by the staff. When I picked up the 8-inch, 3-layered cake, I was as giddy as a school girl. It looked gorgeous, and the detail was so perfect. The first bite is what I would equate to as heaven on a fork. It was smooth, creamy, and delicious. I don't care that I have to drive 30 minutes to buy a cake. It is totally worth it. The staff are very friendly and helpful, and are super talented. In my opinion, this is the best place to buy any type of cake in St.Louis. read more

I really wish I could give half stars on yelp, because this place is a perfect candidate for the 4 1/2 stars. But I decided to round up because I didn't think giving this place just four stars would do it justice. This bakery is absolutely adorable and in my humble opinion the best one in St Louis. Walking in, I was sure I was in the wrong place until I saw their sign. The bakery is so warm and inviting. It kind of gives off the impression that you are in someone's own kitchen. If you like the Cup in CWE, this is their sister company - I'm sure you'll like them even better. I actually stopped by to pick up a birthday cake from here. If you're looking for a last minute cake, they always have a few extra ones baked up to sell. I ended up getting a red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting. Let me just say, the cake didn't last twelve hours in my suite. All of us devoured it entirely. The frosting wasn't overly sweet (my personally pet peeve) and was extremely creamy. It complimented the light fluffy cake very well! My only regret is not finding this place sooner. How did I go so long with such mediocre cakes in the past? read more

Use to live in St. Louis so I know how good this place is. I now live in California, but was returning to the area for a baby shower and knew I needed to order from them. They made it so convenient to do that. I was able to send them an email letting them know what I wanted along with a picture of what I had in mind. I ended up working with Megan who was great. I couldn't exactly do the ombre effect I wanted because the cake wasn't going to be high enough, but she assured me it would still look beautiful and it was.

Typically, that is. But this?! This chocolate cake from The Cakery?! Holy moly. It quite literally is the best cake I've ever had in my entire life. So moist, so delicious, just the right amount of sweet and rich - not too overwhelming for those adverse to such things (and we do exist).

We went to the Cakery Bakery for our wedding cake, cupcakes, and groom's cake and couldn't have been happier!! We had a small cake to cut and the rest cupcakes for our wedding guests. We had a variety of flavors (ALL delicious) each with different color frosting/toppings. They offer a variety of flavors and decor choices which was nice (though it made it hard to choose at times). They offer tastings at their shop along with lots of displays of cakes and cupcakes. I also went to the Cakery for a surprise groom's cake at the wedding rehearsal. I showed them some inspiration pictures and gave them a figurine to use -- it turned out exactly like we wanted and the groom loved it. They are flexible with meeting times, always respond to emails/calls, very friendly and nice, and have their stuff together! They worked with us on pickup and work to get what you want. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. Our guests continue to tell me how delicious the cupcakes were! They made one of the most important parts of our wedding perfect! Thank you, Cakery! read more

We went with The Cakery for our Halloween reception. We loved the banana cake, and they dyed it red for us and iced it perfectly. It was affordable at about mid range of all the bakeries we sampled and it was a definite hit with our guests. We received rave reviews, for both the deviation from basic wedding flavor and how incredibly delicious the cake was. I told them then, go get you some of this cake. The reason I am writing a belated review is that like some traditional couples, we saved the top tier and a few slices for our first anniversary. And here I am at 1040pm on a Tuesday eating this year old freezer cake and bruh, it's STILL delicious. Phenomenal. These people are a gift to society. So run, don't walk. Give them whatever they require to give you this cake, guys. It will ruin other cakes for you. You're about to be a cake snob of the most pretentious proportions. read more

Super awesome experience, thanks for rolling with my punches. Not only all of this, but it was one of the tastiest cakes I've ever had.

They did my wedding cake and it was AWESOME. So many people told me it was the best cake they'd ever had. I was esp thrilled because at some other places we had looked I was going to have to compromise and get a simpler design than I wanted to stay in budget but here I got something even prettier than I thought I would. Honestly I never thought I would get such a pretty wedding cake. Plus everyone I knew told me not to bother freezing the top tier because it would be disgusting in a year but I followed their directions carefully and I swear it was nearly as good as it was fresh! They were so nice to work with and the product was amazing. Of the 4 places we priced it was second to lowest but the lowest was not very nice.

Oh, cake. You make life worth living. The Cakery gets this, and it shows. They're not fooled by any faddish pies or donuts, they know that cake is the best and they make the best cakes. In their kindness, they offer Cake in a Cup, which is nice when you WOULD eat a whole cake but you don't NEED to eat a whole cake. Instead you get a Cake in a Cup, and your love affair with cake is unsullied by the groaning and self-loathing from eating a whole cake. So far I've tried the yellow cake, chocolate cake, chocolate butter cream icing, and french vanilla icing in various combinations and they have all been extraordinary. I can't look at a grocery store cake anymore, I've gone too far. It's the Cakery or nothing and I'm not the least bit sorry. Friendly service, too. read more

I had only had cake from here once or twice, and I LOVE The Cup, so I knew this was where I wanted to order cake from for my son's birthday. I actually ended up ordering two cakes: one small one for our family birthday dinner and one large one for his actual birthday party a week later. I ordered on the phone as I wasn't super picky about the design and I knew which flavor I wanted. The cakes are pricey, but they are worth it! I paid over the phone, so picking up was hassle free. They showed me the cake and then packed it up for me. For the big one, they even helped me out since I needed to rearrange some things in my car to have it in a safe place. Everyone working there was friendly and helpful. The best part? The cakes rocked!! Everyone who ate it raved over it.

I've been a loyal customer for a long time and have easily spent thousands of dollars on Hank's cheesecakes for both personal celebrations and professional events. The product itself has always been worth every penny. That said, I was disappointed to learn of the new policy charging $2 simply to slice a cheesecake. When purchasing a $25-$400+ cheesecake, an additional fee for a task that takes roughly 20 seconds feels unnecessary and, frankly, a bit off-putting. While I understand that rising costs are impacting businesses everywhere, this type of nickel-and-diming can feel discouraging--especially to long-standing, repeat customers who have consistently supported the business. Hank's Cheesecake remains exceptional, and the product is second to none. I hope management reconsiders this policy, as it slightly detracts from what has otherwise been an outstanding customer experience for many loyal patrons.

The vibes are so cute inside and perfect for a date or catching up with a friend. The servers are also friendly and happy to give samples. The seating inside is pretty limited however, especially in the winter when it's too cold to walk around outside. Their hours are great for a late night, last minute ice cream run!

This was my second time coming to this place…read more The staff is so inviting and friendly and are willing to answer any and every question you have. They made a fresh pot of coffee and even went the extra mile to go get ice as we came in later in the evening and they had run out. I did tell them they didn't need to, but he insisted which I thought was outstanding. This quaint little café is so charming inside. It allows people to gather eat a sweet treat and have general conversation conversations where you can actually hear one another. They do have outside seating too. The chocolate cake was soft and as a non-cake lover I found this very delicious. Definitely worthy of sharing. I ordered a quiche to go. I had mentioned they didn't have the spinach feta pastry that I had before. The gentleman stated we have some in the back, I'm happy to get you one. So I ordered that too. And although this was only our second time coming, the fact that they'll make a fresh pot of coffee in my opinion is key to a great café. I will keep this in my rotation of places to go.

As I was walking to the door, I see a man cleaning the tables. He walks toward the door as I'm walking up to it. We're literally standing face to face with the door in between us. I smile, he is stone faced. I go to open the door as he walks away. The door is locked. I try a few more times, thinking maybe it's me. I look around at the hours again, but next to it is a "we're open" sign. I try maybe 3-4 times more before I give up. I walk to the window and he's sitting at a table toward the back, looking at me. We just look at each other, then he looks at his computer. I turn toward my car, then turn back around and he's still looking at me! I sat in my car, confused. He never looked back up from his computer, so I left. Highly disappointed.

The 3 ladies who run this shop together are so sweet and excited to serve you…read more It is so refreshing that they are so happy to let us try the different jellies that we were new to before ordering. It really helped us to be able to make our decisions before ordering. We tried about 3 different jellies: lychee/coconut, aiyu is just sugar that has a flavor so we opted to pass once we asked right before trying it-it had a brown look to it. They do have a note that tapioca is not ready until 1030 AM each day. I ordered passionfruit with lychee with 50% less sugar with light ice. It was just right in sweetness. I like the tartness of passion fruit and that amount of sugar allowed for that with a slight sweetness. I loved that the seeds are in the juice. The drink was delicious. Additionally, I ordered a matcha green milk tea for the morning with tapioca. My daughter got the mango slushie with mango boba-so good!!

For a last minute, celebratory dessert stop, Cyrano's hit the spot…read more My partner and I went because we saw a Google review that mentioned the bread pudding being so delicious that it "altered his brain chemistry." Honestly that's what sold us! Arrived and promptly ordered that dessert and the carrot cake. Then the server told us of their "to die for" tiramisu and my partner immediately said yes. WOW let me tell you from a first hand experience two people do NOT need three desserts. Cyrano's gives you AMAZING portions. Just one would have been enough lol. Anyways, the carrot cake was my favorite. It was so big I had enough to take home! The tiramisu was good but it was being overpowered by the carrot cake that evening. As for the brain chemistry altering bread pudding.... That google review was 100% correct. It was delicious. 10/10. No notes. Please order it if you go to Cyrano's. The ambiance was a little dated but still looked nice. The staff was kind and quickly resolved the missing ice cream situation.

I had to be different and go for the savory option - "Italian" w/c is Black pepper and green onion beignets topped with Italian cheese & a side of Marina sauce for dipping. The beignet bites reminded me of a fancier version of a pretzel bite only with that soft and lighter texture compared to a pretzel. Glad to also see them offering GF options for those with gluten allergies/ gluten intolerance. The vertical banner with the business name outside along with the Open light up sign were the two things outside that directed me to the entrance door to check out this place. Looking forward to coming back to trying one of their sweet traditional beignets. Friendly & efficient customer service. Only concern I had is the place felt cramped and I know the owners are doing their best to maximize use of the space. Just wondering if there has been any possible ideas to make that indoor space feel more open especially with option to dine in.

We started with the Korean fried cauliflower and it was honestly some of the best I've ever had. The batter was light, fluffy, and crispy, and the gochujang sauce with the mayo was sweet and sticky in the best way. Since it's a butchery, we had to try the steaks. I ordered the 4oz filet Oscar style. The meat was tender and very well seasoned, the crab was fresh, and the homemade hollandaise really pulled it all together. My husband had the ribeye. It was a flavorful cut, a little fatty (as ribeye tends to be), but exactly what you'd expect from that cut. The steaks come with a twice-baked potato and vegetable (or you can swap for different vegetables). The potato was flavorful but fairly dense. We also did the bread service - it was good, but felt a bit pricey for the portion. We ended with the flourless chocolate torte, which was very rich and the perfect way to finish the meal - especially on Valentine's Day. Overall, the food was good and the menu is solid. The quality was there, but the portions, bread service and sides didn't fully meet expectations. That said, it was still a lovely experience and a great date-night spot.

This place is so perfect! They were so nice and worked with us in making our wedding cake with in a two week notice. I didn't know what to do about a wedding cake and so I went to Google and emailed several places. The Cakery replied back right away and they were very accommodating. We tried several samples and they were all yummy. But the standout was the rum cake with raspberry fruit filling which is what we picked for our wedding cake. It was delicious. Everyone raved on how great the cake was. We can't wait to thaw out the top tier. I will always order future cakes from them from now on. read more
