This is my favorite "classic" bakery in St. Louis. They serve simple bakery items with a twist to make them extra special. Serving scones with wild flavor combinations, cupcakes, seasonal cookie sandwiches, fluffy muffins, gooey brookies, giant cookies, fresh quiche, and more. If I lived closer this would be a monthly go to treat.
I walked into the bakery with the mindset of wanting a muffin, latte, and my go to brookie. However, the smell of buttery, flaky pastry crust and cheesy egg filled the air. So, I had to grab a slice of warm quiche. There were two flavors available, I went with the spinach, Asiago, and chihuahua cheese. I did choose a muffin to eat the following day. I went with the cornmeal cranberry. As I ate it this morning, I was pleasantly surprised when I felt a pop in my mouth from fresh, not dried, whole cranberries. The muffin was still moist the next day. Then there was the brookie. I have to grab at least one every time I come in. They are gooey, fudgy, crunchy on top, and chocolate decadence. The raw sugar topping is an extra special touch to the rich center of explosive flavor.
The coffee and espresso served is from the local St. Louis roaster Kaldi's. I ordered a latte which is generally made with whole milk and added peppermint syrup. All of the syrups are house made and there are several options from vanilla and chocolate to caramel and honey spice. I went with the seasonal flavor that was not listed.
A few years ago I was surprised with a cake from here for my birthday. It was a chocolate cake with caramel filling. As it was pricey, it was also my all time favorite layered cake I have ever had.
I would recommend pint size to the every day bakery goer, visiting family, a traveling tourist, in need of a cake, to cater an event, and everything else in between!
