McArthur's Bakery and The Pioneer Cafe

Very wonderful choices and the service was very personable!

Whoever made the gooey butter cake. Obviously doesn't live in St. Louis. Has never been here or eat a gooey butter cake. They got a recipe of the internet and decided to make it their own. It was disgusting.

Friendly and helpful staff

Everything was delicious! Long time cake and pastry customer, first time for breakfast.

They always have what I'm looking for, and the quality is consistent. I've enjoyed their bakery goods since the 80's!

We have been buying birthday cakes from McArthur's for years. Sometimes we choose a cake from the website, but more often, I call and ask them to decorate a cake with two or three of the recipient's favorite things and leave the rest up to the decorator. They do not disappoint. Our most recent cakes have been a green cheeked conure in a rainforest, a coral reef with a sting ray, and a sloth in a hammock on the beach. All have been clever, creative, and darling. Their yellow cake is the best anywhere. We usually skip the filling so we do not have to refrigerate. Having it delivered also really helps out. Parking: There is parking in front and back.

The food was great but way overpriced. Would be nice to have a clean table, but then they'd need dedicated servers. Think of a cozier Denny's meets Steam N Shake and you have this place.
