We made a quick stop at Foundry Bakery and ordered a wide selection -- everything was delicious. We tried the milk bun, lavender yuzu berry cookie, egg tart, black sesame panna cotta, pineapple gem, orange bun, berry trio walnut bread, and the cronut. Not a single miss. The biggest standouts were the lavender yuzu berry cookie and the berry trio walnut bread. The cookie was incredibly well balanced -- floral, citrusy, and not overly sweet -- and easily one of the best cookies I've had in a while. It's also a pretty large cookie, so good for sharing... or not The berry trio walnut bread had great structure despite being packed with nuts and dried fruits -- really thoughtfully baked and especially amazing toasted. Overall, Foundry is a really great bakery. Absolutely worth the drive to try something new, and I'll definitely be coming back. read more

The Foundry Bakery - Selection of breads - Bakeries Near Me - Maryland Heights, Missouri

What a beautiful shop with the most amazing owners... they take care in making every piece of bread, sandwich and drink. They are thoughtful about using the best possible ingredients for their customers. Every fruit tea is made from real fruit and not powder and artificial flavors. Things are no where near the sweetness of other boba tea shops. They use ceremonial grade matcha and every piece of bread that we tried tasted not overly sweet and extremely fresh. They are truly the definition of mom and pop shop that cares about their customers. read more

Best thing I got in St Louis = Umami Burst bread - miso, mushroom, seaweed. When I picked out this bread it was still warm and had such a myriad of savory flavors that blended well together. I've had nothing like it! The owner is super friendly and definitely gave us recommendations. The space is so inviting. The minute you step inside you get enveloped in an aroma of bread. We just drove several hours so we were wanting to get out and sit in a cafe for a bit. We got some drinks: hojicha, chai latte with oat milk, americano, and a mango smoothie. Of course we had to pick out some of the unique baked goods too! We got the layery taro pastry, portuguese egg tart (it's bigger than what I had in Lisbon), and the miso walnut cookie. Everytime we drive through St. Louis, we make this a stopping point and you should too! read more

Service may not be best but the bakery items are awesome.. the best I eaten there so far. Too bad I didn't buy a lot .. next time I will buy more...very fresh out of the oven... very clean and neat place. Not in normal shopping mall. So we have trouble finding them in the beginning... GPS directions is not very good. Finally after three rounds and asking police officer close by... we finally found it. Glad we found it... I did not have the picture... egg custard is the best read more

After a few weeks of stalking their yelp page I decided to finally try it out today, and it was the BEST decision. From the moment I walked in I knew I had made a good choice because 1. The place smelled heavenly, and 2. Seven people flooded in behind me right at opening. I selected a taro bun, an egg custard, and a pineapple bun. All were still warm & tasted very fresh. My partner and I were so pleased that these pastries weren't over-the-top sugary sweet. Instead the sweetness is subtle & you can tell there's not a ton of refined sugar used. I got my partner a bacon egg sandwich which she said was amazing, it looked fantastic as the egg was more of a loaf and not greasy or fried. I got a chicken bahn mi that was perfect and the bread was fresh & soft. We got a taro bubble tea, and a strawberry matcha latte. Excellent choices as the taro tea is also subtly sweet and has a fresh taro texture. If you drink matcha on the reg you can tell this is top-tier quality matcha. The sweetness is customizable which I genuinely appreciate. One thing is for certain, I WILL be back to get my hands on that chocolate cherry loaf of bread Hoping there's a cronut to try when I go back. High quality, fresh, and healthy. Probably the healthiest bakery I've ever been in. Great work team! read more

The Foundry Bakery is such a hidden gem in Creve Cour offering yummy baked goods, some sandwiches, and a wide variety of coffee and boba tea drinks. The egg tart was so flakey and delicious, and I enjoyed trying a new sandwich with kimchi on it and a steamed egg I believe. They have seating to grab a light lunch or chat over drinks. I've been a little underwhelmed by the drinks I've tried, but the baked goods smelled delicious and make the place feel cozy as they put new options. Really cute, unique spot that's worth going out of your way to check out! read more

Quick search for a highly rated bakery to bring some treats to family. Found this spot, hidden in more of a residential area, in a quiet but small strip mall. For some reason, I expected a large selection of treats. It was a little different, but oh so wonderful. There were approximately a dozen different pastry options at the time of our visit. Clearly labeled, and each individually wrapped, you take a trey and it's self serve. We chose 6 different ones to try. When checking out, we were informed they are known for Portuguese egg tart. We didn't select this initially, but added one to our order. It was dense with over a100 flaky layers to create the crust. This was definitely a good recommendation. All pastries were continuously being replenished, coming out fresh and warm. They also have a coffee bar and some additional pudding style desserts in a case by the counter. Friendly and helpful staff, great service, easy parking, a pretty packed storefront, and flavorful fresh desserts for the win. read more

Raymond at the Foundry Bakery is the best. Homemade recipes and flavors you can't get anywhere else. And they've got Sandos now!! Definitely make this your pit stop. In fact, call ahead to make sure they still got your favs and are not sold out! My favs: Taiwanese Polo Bun, cronuts, crispy can't stop eating them Orange Pastry, Miso Choc Chip walnut cookie, Lavender Yuzu Heavenly cookie, Umami burst of yumminess in your mouth, Chocolate cherry you'll be dreaming of for days, oooh. And they've tea. oh the tea. Don't spill it, drink them all!! :) Great spot to work as well with the free WiFi! read more

I recently was able to try the foundry bakery, and it was a great place to visit! The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. They offered some great suggestions and walked us through their Boba and tea options. They also have free Boba add-ons with almost all of their drinks selections, so that was pretty cool. In addition to the great drinks, they have some delicious bakery items including egg tarts, fresh bread, and traditional bun pastries and even though I didn't get to try the whole restaurant smelled nice and delicious because of the bakery items. So I definitely look forward to trying again in the future! This is a great place to potentially work away from home for the day. I think they have free Wi-Fi and it's pretty spaced out and offers a lot of seating, so you can have some time away from the house with a nice drink and tasty snack. They also offer breakfast breakfast sandwiches that seem to have some good and hearty selections. I can't wait to try more of their menu items in the future! read more

I went here today to grab a bite to eat. It's a cute spot for getting a drink, grabbing a treat or getting fresh baked bread for breakfast. You can even bring your laptop and get a little work done. I had a fruit tea with pineapples and a egg and bacon sando. You are the crafter of your own beverage, they have a variety of option's available from size, sweetness level ,and temperature to add ins such as fruit and boba, to the base you want to start with. I enjoyed my warm sandwich with crispy bacon, bib lettuce and fresh bread. It also had a steamed egg, ripe tomatoes and cheddar cheese with a honey Dijon sauce. There's parking right in front. Stop by and welcome The Foundry to the neighborhood! read more

It's such a hidden gem! The best bakery I have tried so far. They served a variety of baked goods, and I could still feel the warmth of the breads as I picked them up from the shelfs. The entire bakery was filled with bread aroma, and the ambience is quiet and really sweet. The bakery owner was very kind; he introduced us to some of the items and recommended a lot of their popular items like the egg tart. We ordered quite a lot of varieties, and our favorite was the taro moon cake and the matcha panna catta. They are so rich in flavor and not too sweet! I'll definitely come back and try everything off their menu. read more

Found out about the foundry bakery thru Yun Hai in NYC. Ordered delivery for moon cakes for Mid-Autumn Festival. Foundry's are the best moon cakes I've EVER had. It's the perfect balance of honoring the traditional but taking a modern and incredibly delicious approach: Mung Bean Pong (綠豆椪月餅 - fine layers of crispy, swirly crust painstakingly rolled out. Carefully selected mung bean cooked with milk and butter for subtle dairy notes. A black sesame center adds to the whole experience with bold toasted flavors.) - 綠豆椪 or mung bean cake was one of my all time favorite desserts as a kiddo, but they made it even BETTER but the black sesame center which was sooo richly black sesame that it reminded me of another one of my FAVORITES 黑芝麻 (black sesame soup) or like the inside of tang yuan -- because black sesame is my FAV. Taro Globe Mooncake (栗子芋頭酥月餅 - Exquisite layers of crispy shell hugs an inner filling made of pure fresh cooked taro! A burst of intense taro flavor in every bite!) - wow wow wow. you could seriously taste the fresh taro in this and I LOVE me some taro. The quality ingredients and care that went into making this was incredible apparent! Salted Yolk Mooncake ( 蛋黃酥月餅 - ORGANIC red beans cooked from scratch paired with rich salted duck yolk resulting in a salty sweet combo beloved by all for centuries! Ours also feature a crispy spiral layers that have been meticulously rolled out.) - The most "traditional" of the three and let me preface by saying that as a kid and adult, I don't love salted yolk in mooncake. HOWEVER, I actually liked Foundry's!!! It was the perfect balance and the salted duck yolk was luscious and fresh rather than dry and gross like mooncakes w/egg in my experience! I'm going to be thinking about Foundry Bakery's mooncakes all the way until next Mid-Autumn festival *watery eye emoji* Please come pop up in Michigan!! read more

We stopped in recently during a walk around town on a Sunday morning and it was delicious! I had never had Taiwanese food, but my GF had tried this place due to a Yelp event and I was so glad we stopped in.The workers were very helpful and our items were fresh out of the oven. The espresso drinks were delicious, too. The restaurant had a very cozy feel and it was a perfect brunch spot! read more

You know that awesome feeling you get when you go to a business and you can tell the owner is just bursting with pride? That's The Foundry! The owner is incredibly friendly and so passionate about what he does -- and with good reason. I almost never say the word "yummy" but after that first bite of egg tart I said "this is so yummy" like ten times in a row. The best way I can describe it is it's sort of like a sweet quiche but the crust is croissant. And if you're a GBBO fan, you'll be blown away by the lamination in that insanely buttery pastry. Yum! I also got the strawberry matcha with honey boba. The strawberry provides a nice, sweet counterpoint to the earthiness of the matcha and I also got some honey boba (free to add!) that made it feel really special and custom. Great place to stop in for breakfast, lunch, a snack, or to get some work done. I can't wait to go back and try more from the bakery! read more

foundry bakery is one of the most comforting bakeries i've been to. i love the unique style of grabbing your goodies fresh from the baskets! it's like your own mini shopping experience. there's been days where i'll sit and wait for 20 min as new goods come out. the inside is spacious and clean, with plenty of spots to socialize and study over baked goods! i live about 30 minutes from foundry, but always make the special trip for my favorite portuguese egg tarts. they're devilishly crisp, fluffy, and addictive. they house very unique bread flavors. a personal favorite of my is their chocolate cherry bread. if you want great hospitality, special pastries, and a cozy atmosphere, this is your place. i love how the family that runs the bakery honors their culture and show love through their food. highly recommended read more

The Foundry Bakery - Cronut, Taiwanese Pineapple Gem, egg tarte - Bakeries Near Me - Maryland Heights, Missouri

I've had this spot in my list for a while and it's only a couple miles away from where I live! I will say, I did pass it the first attempt to go there because the signage was small and it was in an off strip mall. I came here in late afternoon and was happy they still had some baked goods to choose from. They have a "market" area with all the baked goods and some tables and chairs to sit and enjoy or to work quietly. When I walked in I was immediately greeted and shown all their baked good options along with their menu and daily specials. Such great service! I'm not one to order Matcha, but the strawberry matcha they had sounded amazing and everyone has been loving it. It was HANDS DOWN the best matcha I've ever had. I'll be coming here quite often for this matcha... So glad I got to finally try this place! read more

Honestly, this place blew me away. It's a cute little spot with a few tables, and the owner/worker clearly knew his regulars. We got the egg tart and the cronut. Both are delicious, and there needs to be a big shout out for that egg tart. Probably one of the best egg tarts I've had in my life. I've had a lot of good egg tarts, but this one takes the cake. This one is HUGE, and somehow, even with the abnormal proportions, the inside egg part is just soooo creamy and pleasant on the mouth. The filling was soo velvety smooth, with a deep, eggy flavor and just the right amount of sweetness. It had a slight wobble to it as well. The crust itself was delightfully crispy, flakey but also gently tender (if that makes sense). It set the bar pretty high. Will definitely come back. (Eager to try the miso brown butter cookie, but that was sold out when we got there). 5/5 stars. read more

Might try again later as we went at the end of the afternoon so there were limited bakery options remaining by the time we got there! From the very small shelves though it seems like there are limited selections to begin with and on the pricier end. The buns we did get were mild and plain. We also didn't order any of the milk teas or specialty drinks which seem to be popular here though. The space itself is small with only a few wooden tables. read more

I came here after tons of recommendations from the Elite Squad- and I'm sure happy I did! I'm not typically in this area often, but I've found one of my new "go to" spots when I am. I pulled up to the building, and The Foundry's building is shared with a couple of other businesses. Parking was simple. I walked in and saw some people working, which is a great idea. I would gladly work in here- it's a calm atmosphere and it smells amazing! I knew I wanted a drink, and was definitely convinced by the strawberry matcha latte. The menu board makes it really easy to see your options, additions, and sweetness levels. I ordered my latte with 0 sweetness bc I'm not a big sweet beverage gal. I added boba to it, and it was truly one of the prettiest drinks ever! The boba sat at the bottom, and then we're were white, red, and green layers for the milk, strawberry, and matcha. I loved this drink! It wasn't something I've had often, and it was really nice to try something new. I also got a cronut from the self serve bakery area. I was so excited because I've never had one! It was truly incredible- savory and sweet all at once with a nice crunch. Next time I get one I'm warming it up :) They also offer a large variety of breads and different baked goods! So happy I made it here finally :) read more

I made it to the Foundry Bakery just half an hour before they close for the night. There's tables and chairs to enjoy your orders but I can see a lot of people just do take out. There wasn't much of the fresh, most sought out items left since it was the end of the day... but the owner who was also the cashier told me he had some egg tarts coming out of the oven My family and I ended up getting two drinks, 3 egg tarts and a cookie pack. The egg tart is the best I've had... the pastry is laminated so well as you can see in the layers I'd definitely say this is a must try. The strawberry matcha boba was really good... the taro drink definitely not what I thought it would be... but the boba was good. Overall, it was a really good visit and I'd come back for sure!!!! read more

I took home a loaf of the chocolate cherry bread to use for French toast. The bread is rich and chocolaty but not cloying.

It will definitely be in rotation for breakfast at our house. read more

Food: 5 Stars Service: 5 Stars Truly a hidden gem within Maryland Heights, The Foundry Bakery doesn't get enough exposure. Their baked goods are baked daily and crafted drinks are made from scratch. We loved their taro milk tea as it was made with fresh taro, something you don't find often in St. Louis. Their crystal boba added a nice chewy and crunchy texture. Their crispy orange bun had to be my favorite. Incredibly fragrant, beautifully layered like a croissant, and slightly sweet, this has become my go-to for a quick snack! Their taro buns are super soft and pillowy, yet they are deceivingly filling! read more

Why it's taken me this long to write a review for The Foundry remains a mystery to me... but here we are! I first found this place at the beginning of the pandemic and decided to check it out on a whim. Ever since then, this bakery has easily become one of my favorite bakeries in all of St. Louis. I introduce everyone I know to this bakery. Everything here is baked or blended to perfection. Not sure if I want to admit this, but I've tried probably every single item on the menu, both baked goods and drinks. Their seasonal menu items are bomb as well. Some of my favorites are the baked cronut, naisu milk bun, egg tart, Taiwanese toast, chocolate cherry, umami burst, strawberry matcha latte, and mango fruit milk. I basically named a large chunk of the menu, but how can I choose! They also have a pretty decent indoor area open for dining, getting work done, or studying. The owners are the ones that run the bakery, from the cash register, to the kitchen, to the drink making station - so it's a homey mom and pop shop. They are always SO nice and make you feel welcome. read more

I'm not sure how long this bakery has been open, but OMG! How did I miss them?! I've got to credit Yelp for suggesting them. I looked at the pictures and saw taro pastries!! In the Midwest?! YES!! It didn't take but a couple of days for me to take a lunch break at work and find them (only about 10 minutes away from my office). Nice atmosphere - very clean, but welcoming! The staff are friendly and helpful. The pastries are each packaged and self-service, which I prefer to taking up people's time selecting so many things from behind a counter. This way, I can load up everything I want and feel like a pig on my own, thank you! I already had my list from the online menu, so I selected several items to try (everything I wanted was available and fresh at about 1pm). Unfortunately, I can't eat it all in one sitting, but that's ok - there's enough for lunch, dinner, and breakfast, and snacks! They make fresh taro in-house, which is just unheard of in the middle of America (I usually have to go to Hawaii for that), so I am excited to have the Foundry Bakery close by, whenever I need a sweet taro treat. I'll add photos and my thoughts as I try each thing. I've been told taro cheesecake is also a thing, so that could be my special birthday treat this year! You have a happy, new regular! read more

The owners are super friendly and truly make an effort to make sure every customer is satisfied. Orders can be placed online at least 24 hours in advance for pick up, or you can also call to see what breads/pastries are available. They're constantly expanding their menu, and everything they've added so far has been a delightful addition. I highly recommend the Taro Globes and Naisu Buns. I would also recommend any of their brewed tea lattes (personal favorite: Tieguanyin Latte). CANNOT miss during the summer season: Mango Shaved Ice. They are so so so good about selecting fresh, juicy, sweet, perfectly ripe mangos! I have not been disappointed once (and I've ordered it a lot of times!). Their strawberry matcha latte is also very good. I literally cannot recommend this place enough. Good food? Good drinks? Amazing owners?? What else do you need? This place was one of the reasons I survived med school. It wouldn't matter how long it had been since I went, the owners always remembered me and would check in on how school was going. read more

My parents were the ones that told me about this bakery. They have only lived in St. Louis for a year, yet they found a Taiwanese bakery that I hadn't even heard of! Shame on me. My first taste of the bakery's items were the Taiwanese bolo bun and naisu milk buns my parents had bought me. These buns a little different than the buns I've had at other bakeries, a little on the denser side, but I really liked them. What really sold me were the taro globes. I'm a big taro fan, and the taro globes they made are bursting with taro flavor as they use fresh taro. My first actual visit to the bakery was with my spouse when we went to pick up mooncakes that we had ordered. We ordered boba, the crispy orange bun, and the naisu milk bun. I've never had anything like the crispy orange bun before, it had some sort of delicious orange glaze on it. I really enjoyed the bun and also my boba. The tea was freshly brewed, and you could tell they are using some quality tea. On our first visit, one of the owners/baker (Ray) came and spoke to us. We told him how we had heard of him, and that we were bringing the mooncakes with us to family vacation. I loved that Ray took the time to come and speak to us, even though we weren't even regulars. He noticed we were new and wanted to welcome us. Right before we left, we got a Portuguese egg tart, which looked incredible. When we got home, I knew I had to try it. This was no egg tart like I had ever seen. It was big, dense, and had some slightly charred bits. I took a bite. This was absolutely the best egg tart I had ever had. I had to immediately call the bakery and tell them, which was exactly what I did. This is a must try for anyone. My recommendations for a first visit are the taro globe and Portuguese egg tart. read more
