Recently I gave you my favorite places for pastry, and now I have a list of my favorite bakeries in the St. Louis area in case you are more of a buyer than a baker.
Companion Café
9781 Clayton Road, St. Louis, MO 63124
My favorite place for soup, honestly, but they have my favorite gooey butter cake in STL. They have a deep dish version that will sometimes be topped with something special, like cherry pie filling or pumpkin. I like mine more cakey, but if you like yours with more of a pie crust feeling, try Russell’s! They also have a amazing cakes and cookies.
Federhofer’s Bakery
9005 Gravois Road, St. Louis, MO 63123
My favorite cookies. They are a solid mix of royal icing with cute decorations and also a fluffy buttercream for sweetness. But their cases are full of so many different treats!
Cake House Design
5496 Baumgartner Road, St. Louis, MO 63129
This place is so out of my way and I wish I didn’t love it as much as I do. Their cake and frosting is unbeatable and I am frustrated I can’t figure it out! Their cinnamon rolls are also on point.
Missouri Baking Company
2027 Edwards Street, St. Louis, MO 63110
Talk about local, family owned feels. So many options and old fashioned treats.
The Cakery
1420 Tamm Avenue, St. Louis, MO 63139
A great place for a wedding cake, they often have cake cups where you can just enjoy the scraps in the most delicious way.
Pioneer Bakery and Café
210 N. Kirkwood Road, Kirkwood, MO 63122
Owned by McArthur’s bakery, this is where I actually did get my wedding cake. I love this location because they are staffed by adults with intellectual disabilities who are learning life skills and offering treats and lunch too.
The Daily Bread Café
11719 Manchester Road, St. Louis, MO 63131
This is my local sandwich shop with a great white chicken chili. But they are a great spot for seasonal decorated cookies.
