    Amazing cookies that they are very proud of - hint: very expensive. I will say they are very authentic and just plain delicious. Service is alright. Not overly friend, but definitely efficient. Inside isn't much to look at. Nothing fancy, nothing gross.

    Tasty bakery in the hill with a large variety of options!! Gooey butter cookie was divine and was ordered as parting gifts for a wedding. Quick and friendly service. Not huge but plenty of space to walk around and look at all they have in the display cases. Will be back to try more pastries and desserts.

    This is my 2nd time coming into Vitale's since moving here on The Hill for 5 years. The Service was the exact same as last time we were not greeted with a Hello or a Smile once entering or placing our order. I felt like it was an inconvenience to the lady serving us, I was with My 2 year old Daughter, My Mom. Once checking out she dropped our pastry, and thankfully got us a new one without a problem. What I thought was interesting was a regular customer walked in once we were paying, and she greeted her with a smile while starting a personal conversation. I just would expect a more welcoming atmosphere especially in our neighborhood. Like I said it wasn't my first time, and it was the same person and attitude before which made me not want to return in the first place.

    I updated to 5 stars. I really like the cannolis and they are super friendly. Seems like I always get one

    This was a place where I went on a food tour. They had lots of baked goods to choose from including breads, cookies, cannoli, etc. There was a large variety of all Italian sweets with something for everybody. I had a traditional cannoli. It was a ricotta cheese filing. There was a cherry part of the filing as well. This was an okay tasting cannoli. The filing to shell ratio was ideal, but it was just decent to me. The shell was crispy and appeared very fresh, but the filing was just a little off. Will I go back? I would head back.

    Vitale's was a good classic Italian bakery option. I got some macarons and a lobster tail - the macarons were my favorite. I went close to closing time but there were still many options

    Variety of cookies (purchased by weight)

    I used to think the southern style (buttermilk biscuit base) strawberry shortcake was my favorite dessert until I came to Vitale's. Theirs is hands down now my fave. Fresh strawberry purée between layers of chiffon cake that's iced with a whipped, delectable icing, and I am one happy lady eating cake on the run in my car (but safely, of course). I ate several samplings of cookies as well and really liked the anise flavor as well as the biscotti. The cookies were all light and would be perfect with a cup of coffee, though I chose mine to accompany the cake... I bought a bag of frozen toasted raviolis and pizza sauce for a quick meal option at home, so will update review once I've stopped eating dessert for dinner and power on the air fryer.

    I still always love this little bakery....for certain things like sauce and pizza crusts....certain little candies. The staff is always so nice and pleasant.

    Picked up some cannoli to go yesterday and they were incredibly fresh and delicious. Not too sweet and crumbly and well filled. Perfect addition to a nice cup of coffee. Loved it!

    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

We stopped by on a whim once I realized how relatively close it was and not in the city. The parking lot is very small and shared with other businesses so depending on when you arrive, it can be full. We were greeted by the team! There is only window seating (maybe 6 chairs total) so majority ordered to go The pastry case was a gold mine of treats and various cakes! While my husband and I thought about our order, they got drinks started for us: an iced tea and a vanilla latte. We ended up with: smoked pork sandwich, prosciutto sandwich, caia (vanilla bean mousse cake), a chocolate croissant, a cheesy focaccia roll. The breads for the sandwiches were great and soft after being warmed up! My toddler loved the caia and refused to share with us. I liked their chocolate croissant and it would have been ideal with a hot cup of coffee. I highly recommend for literally all occasions!

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!

Honestly, if you judged it by the outside, you might drive right past it. There is one parking spot in front, and then a run down parking lot behind and to the side. The moment I walked in, I felt like I was back in my childhood. The lime green decor, the dark bakery display cases filled with buns, and the small plates of food inside reminded me of the Cantonese bakeries I grew up going to. They also had ready to go meals wrapped up to take home. We bought a bunch of things to try. We had the beef cheung fun, siu mai, BBQ pork baos, sesame balls, egg custard tarts, and one of my favorites, the giant round sponge cake. Everything was fresh and really tasty. The roast pork looked delicious too, with nice crispy skin. The biggest surprise for me was seeing lo po beng (Old Wife Cake). We can hardly ever find it on the East Coast, so whenever we do, we always buy some for my mom. Seeing it here made me so happy. I live in the Metro D.C. area, where we have some really good Cantonese bakeries, so I wasn't expecting much from this tiny place. But honestly, Wei Hong Bakery could definitely give many of the bakeries back home a run for their money. Don't let the outside fool you. If you're looking for authentic Cantonese bakery items in St. Louis, this little bakery is absolutely worth a visit. It brought back so many childhood memories, and I'd definitely stop again the next time I'm in town.

Even with the crowd, they kept the line moving and everything seemed very organized. I ordered a fruit croissant, a chocolate Napoleon, and a coffee. After I paid, my pastries were packed up right away, and within just a few minutes, my coffee was ready at the coffee counter. The whole process was quick and efficient. My friend spent a little extra time browsing all the pastry cases before finally making her selections and ordering a coffee as well. While we waited, we admired the beautiful cakes on display and talked about all the incredible-looking pastries. Honestly, I wish I could have ordered one of everything because that's what I really wanted to do! Pastries are one of my biggest weaknesses, and choosing just one or two items is never easy at a bakery like this. Everything looked delicious.

It's kind of embarrassing that this place is literally just minutes from my house, yet I've only been here a couple of times.

It was a tough choice between that and the pistachio, but honestly, you can't go wrong with either. From the first few bites, it hit the spot. The chocolate added just the right amount of sweetness, and the biscotti had a satisfying semi-crunchy texture without being too hard. Surprisingly, one piece was all it took to satisfy my sweet tooth. I'll definitely be back to try some of their mini cakes and other sweet treats!
