“St. Louis’ sweet spot for a century.”
The front case
What people come in for
A traditional Italian bakery. Cannoli, napoleons, and other European desserts, boxed at the counter and carried out. Here is what that looks like in a box.
Also at the counter
Cookies, by the pound
Twenty-five trays in the cookie case
Sold by the pound, tray by tray. What’s out on any given day varies, so treat this as the range rather than a promise.
And on the other trays
“…they follow traditional recipes and bake with love; that makes them worth the drive for me.”
The St. Louis one
Gooey butter cake
Plain and strawberry, boxed and labeled with the same three lines: established 1924, 2027 Edwards St, and the phone number.
Boxed for the drive home.

... It is a small, family-owned Italian bakery that is always busy, but in a good way. When you walk in, it feels very authentic and welcoming - the staff is talking with customers, helping people pick out items, and it just has that classic neighborhood bakery vibe. It is not fancy at all, but that is part of what makes it so good.
We have been going to this delicious establishment for decades! It IS the best Italian bakery in STL.. Their service and selection is second to none!!!! Thank you for all of your efforts! And look at all these scrumptious treats they make for us!
Friendly, efficient service. Everything looked fresh & smelled wonderful. It was difficult only choosing 4 items. Ate the Napoleon first. Delicious. Plan to stop here again on our next visit to St Louis.
The Missouri Baking Company is a boisterous, wonderfully scented, incredibly friendly bakery...as it should be since it is located on The Hill! The staff are always outgoing, friendly, and knowledgeable. ... I also appreciate that they have delicious sugar-free options for people like my mom.
