La Bonne Bouchée Patisserie & Cafe

What an absolute charming cafe. We went for my birthday and they didn't disappoint. The French onion soup is amazing, portions are just right, and the price was reasonable. After lunch we got a latte and visited the bakery portion. I highly recommend the macarons and the tart pies. Everything was delicious and even if you don't go for the cafe portion I recommend stopping in at least for a pastry.

French onion soup was scrumptious, the veggie sandwich had a bit too much spinach (like it was literally bursting out lol) my mom got the wrong order, she said it was just alright. She ordered a croissant au jam on et fromage, but got le croque monsieur instead. Similar, but not the same. The bakery section was so cute tho

Moving reviews over from Yelp and this was originally published in 2017: Pretty dang good Eggs Benedict although the portion came across as small. I suppose they tried to make up for it with a large amount of rosemary potatoes which were also delicious but seemed to detract from the entree. Hollandaise sauce was a little short of perfect and had a little too much butter in it such that it was on the verge of breaking. Eggs were cooked almost exactly as I ordered. Canadian bacon would have benefited from a little time on the flattop to better develop its flavor. English muffin halves were small and not quite toasted enough. Taken as a whole, it was still in the top quarter of the Eggs Benedicts I've been served in the STL area. Kid 2 ordered a Belgian waffle with fruit and only ate half

This is the cutest pastry shop. When you walk in, they have a ticketing system that really helps them provide timely and quality service (if you go on a slow time they have just directly helped out without a number). Now their selection is awesome. So many cakes and macaroons. They do have a select few gluten free options, but not sure on the cross contamination. Overall if you are near by, swing by and get some goodies!

La Bonne Bouchee has been holding it down since 1981, which means people don’t just like her, they are now emotionally attached. This place is part cafe, part smoothie stand, and part bakery. I came for a smoothie (hydration, health, balance) and immediately derailed into sweet and savory snacks. The ricotta and spinach danish thingy ma bob was fantastic, flaky and creamy. Then I grabbed all the cookies, took one bite of each like a civilized raccoon, and felt zero regret. It’s a little chaotic in there but is clearly doing something right because it has outlived trends, diets, and common sense.
