Amy’s Corner Bakeshop

Always good for homemade desserts or a quick breakfast. The staff is incredibly welcoming.

Awesome awesome place! Amy made a custom king cake for me and it was absolutely incredible! It was a delicious and unique take on the king cakes I grew up with and dare I say, one of my favorites. If anyone wants a delicious king cake this mardi gras season, look no further. Thanks Amy!

In town for the day attending a conference, and I really wanted a quick lunch at unique St. Louis place. Wished it had lived up to the great reviews. I can’t speak to their bakery or coffee. I had a sandwich combo– Expensive grilled cheese was cold; cheese wasn’t even remotely melted with very bare toppings and a 1oz bag of chips (no potato salad available). No silver ware or napkins were provided/​available. No water or area to grab your own. Overall seemed like a good local bakery that randomly decided to dabble in making a lunch menu. You’re better off making a grilled cheese at home. Price aside, you’ll be much more impressed with your skills then theirs.

We’ve been fans of Amy’s since day one, and use her for all our pastry needs. Breakfast pastries for Christmas brunch, Mom’s birthday cake, cookies for a float trip — you name it. Always excellent. We’ve also attended multiple weddings and other parties that Amy has catered, and she never misses. Great food, friendly staff, and cute shop. Can’t get better!

Amy makes one of the BEST Tiramisu’s in the city. Everything else I have tried there has been equally amazing!

Perfect spot for a lazy weekend morning of reading the newspaper and enjoying coffee on their patio. Pastries are good, as are the breakfast sandwiches. Nice little neighborhood bake shop!

I really want to give more stars but i cannot. I was really excited to go here and try out the cinnamon rolls. It seemed they only had a pecan one so I went with that (which is fine!) but I was a little confused with the lack of toppings. Also, there was a bit of a crumble topping but some of it was hard. I also got a white chocolate and pretzel cookie. It was good but it wasn’t spectacular by any means. This was cute and close to home but nothing id go out of the way for. I got these to go and heated them up and they were better heated. The service was very good and it was a clean place and local so i do try and support those types of places.

This place is fantastic– my only complaint is that they’re closed Monday and Tuesday so on workdays I have to wait til mid-​week for my fix! But I guess they need to rest sometime. Service is speedy and friendly; cinnamon rolls are Capital-​A Amazing; there is a rotating selection of sweet temptations to choose from, as well as the egg sandwiches and the biscuits & gravy on the weekends. This place is a gem. Don’t ever change, Amy.

The cinnamon rolls were good, but they would have been better warm. The coffee was also good, but would have been better hot. I’m sure the outside temp of 5 degrees played a major roll in this. I’m sure I’ll be back to give Amy’s another try.

So I have to admit that I have been slacking in my reviews as of lately and when I saw that I have not yet reviewed Amy’s Corner Bakeshop I immediately had to fix that.
I discovered Amy’s thanks to Steven B, who posted about the Cinnamon Rolls & Biscuits and Gravy. So I knew immediately what I wanted to try when I arrived, however my plan changed slightly when I was greeted by a Amy and was informed that they also had created a Crumb Cake French Toast. Luckily I had backup, so we each ordered something and split it, so I was able to sample a small portion of the amazing biscuits and gravy alongside my heavenly crumb cake French toast, both of which were amazing. Kudos to Amy for thinking outside of the box with the French toast creation.
The prices here are extremely reasonable and the staff is super friendly, in fact I had a brief conversation with Amy and learned that she is looking to offer curb side delivery for those in a hurry in the morning, so no need to get out of your car to enjoy some of their delicious creations. I recommend making a stop, and getting a cinnamon roll to go (they are made from her mother’s recipe), you will thank me later!

We pass Amy’s almost everyday on the way to work, and have had their bakery items before, so we decided to stop in there for a nice Sunday lunch. The lady behind the counter was very friendly, although she did not have many recommendations as seemed a little frazzled as she admitted she’s only been there for two weeks. The chef suggested the roast beef, saying he made it today and it’s delicious. One of us got the roast beef sandwich, and I got the «kitchen sink», which has many different things on it including roast beef. It took very, very long to receive the food, which was disappointing since the only think really that had to be cooked was the bacon and there was only one other couple in the place. After we got the food, we realized how rough the roast beef was– it was very difficult to even bite into the sandwich much less eat the roast beef. Additionally, the roast beef sandwich has half cold, half warm. The person with the roast beef sandwich just gave up and ate the bread. Luckily I was able to take the roast beef off and have a decent sandwich (nothing to brag about). Also, their Chai Tea was very weak and not good– but we did not complain about that and just threw it away.
They came up to ask how the food was, and we told them how disappointed we were with the roast beef since it was very rough and hard to eat. They offered another menu item or a refund, but we really didn’t want to wait another 30 minutes for the sandwich so we elected to take the refund. They apologized and gave a refund. It was still very disappointing since the food wasn’t very good, their Chai tea was pretty bad, the actual place was very loud with buzzers going off and the two workers running around, and it just wasn’t a pleasant experience. I hope they’re able to make some adjustments and get better food and quicker service.

Super nice and helped me make a vision come to life. Thanks for helping me out and working with me! Originally I met Amy at a Unilocal event. I had the mousse fudge which was delectable. She also cookies with pictures of old movie stars which was a nice touch for the event.

This is the best local bakery that I’ve ever been to. My roommate, my partner, and myself go here quite often and have never been disappointed. Amy, her husband, and other staff members are extremely personable. They make me want to go back each week.
The monster cookie is to die for. The ooey gooey butter cake is phenomenal. The Cinnamon rolls are awesome as long as they are heated. The biscuits and gravy are a gourmet delicacy.
Amy is always trying something new and it is always great! I need to make sure that all of my friends know of this place.

It’s pretty dangerous that I live so close to this place. Just stopped by for the first time today and it was love at first sight/​bite.
Biscuits and gravy are some of the best I’ve ever had, and the Nutella cinnamon roll is something I could eat for every single meal every day. Plus they’re REALLY friendly. Can’t wait to go back to try some of their sandwiches and of course, more pastries.

I keep delaying this review, because it saddens me I can’t give it more stars… But I can’t justify it.
I even bumped it up a star because it’s a small locally owned business…
Anyway. I went there Saturday (or was it Sunday?) morning for B and I… and I ordered one of everything to go. Note «one of everything» was actually not one of everything… We didn’t get the pink cupcake nor the cherry or blueberry filled turnovers.
Here’s what we thought:
Chocolate chip cookie: the shining star. It was massive… But flat. The chocolate chips are not mixed into the batter but pressed into the cookie (I would guess at some point during the baking process). It makes it taste differently than most chocolate chip cookies, but it was good.
blueberry muffin: dry.
Chocolate turnover: dry. Turnovers shouldn’t be overly moist… But this made us both need fluid.
Cheese Danish: B thought it was okay.
Cookie with pretzel bits: another decent pick.
Cupcake with peanut butter and chocolate chip frosting: adorable looking with a subpar taste
Cinnamon roll: scrumptious. We were offered a pick of edge or center… I didn’t care, but B loves a center piece (no she’s not a girl that also wants the middle pancake from the stack — haha)
So overall a few memorable items and some not as wonderful moments.

Cute little shop that I pass every night coming home, I finally decided to stop in for coffee in the morning. Got a 16 ounce vanilla hazelnut latte with almond milk and a strawberry scone. The latte is good the strawberry scone is great! Chunks of strawberries and a little bit of sugar in the dough but not too much.
The owner is super nice and I hope to come back on the weekend when I can try more of the breakfast and lunch options.

As a kid, I thought the theme song from Cheers was cheesy. As an adult, I’ve grown to appreciate what a difference it makes walking into a place where they are genuinely happy to see you.
Most mornings, I’ll order a coffee & a scone (jokingly referred to as «the Caleb Special») to go, for my morning commute. They serve local coffee, from Kaldi’s, so it’s always good. The scones are fluffy and full of flavor, never dense and dry.
On weekends, I’ll often treat myself to their fresh biscuits & gravy. And I mean when I say treat. Handmade biscuits and a sprinkle of garlic really make them unique.
Whether you want a hot breakfast/​lunch, or just a quick treat to go, Amy’s will cure every craving (I stole that from the sign on the door, but I love it).

We found this place via Feast magazine. Since it was a weekend decided to grab the in-​laws and head out. We weren’t 100% sure where this place was though I did recall seeing the building before. On google maps and bing maps (as of 12÷3÷13) the building is still a butcher. Undaunted we headed out.
We arrived mere minutes after opening. Street parking was not a problem as it was still relatively early in the morning. We opened the door to the place to wonderful baking smells.
The display cases were a tad empty but fresh stuff was obviously being made. I introduced our group to Amy and we chatted about the store, the article, and the wonderful smells. We then ordered our breakfast.
I had ½ order of biscuits and Gravy and 2 eggs. My wife had a breakfast wrap, my in-​laws had two different omelets. We also had Kaldi coffee to drink.
The food came out quickly. We settled in to eat. Everyone enjoyed what they ordered. My reason for 4 vs 5 stars is solely based on the price of 2 eggs. They were $ 3.70 but apparently the app Amy had still only had the price for one at $ 1.65. THAT is what I would pay for 2…
We ordered Cinnamon rolls to go. They were a hit with the folks who did not come out for breakfast.
We will be back for more baked goods — maybe later in the week when some stock is out. The website has wonderful cupcakes and pasties and more on it. I can understand not wanting stock to go bad esp when just starting out. I think I’ll have to call ahead. It is worth the stop.

The Cinnamon Rolls at Amy’s are scrumptious. They are gooey, soft, loaded with big flavor and proof that size does not matter. The are small in size, but big on flavor. Even though they are smaller, I am sure the calorie count is something I really do not want to know.
They’re an incredible value at $ 1.25. What makes them even more special is when you order, they ask if you want a center piece or an edge piece. I’ve had both and they both taste the same, but some who those inner center ones just seem to be softer and more gooier. If it were a brownie, I’d take an edge piece.
I’ve also stopped in for a weekend breakfast and enjoyed big cup of Kaldi’s coffee with an order of Biscuits and Gravy. The portion is small, but plentiful. Their House made biscuits are covered in a light brown milk gravy filled with large chunks of sausage.
Amy and her staff are always a delight to chat with while you are ordering. If you dine in, the great open space gives you the opportunity to watch them create their sweet baked goods.

I stumbled on Amy’s today when I was dropping off my dogs at K9 Athletic club on the same corner.
I’m SO glad I did.
I got a cinnamon roll which was divine. Just the right size so you don’t go into sugar overload, and soft and gooey all the way around. And only $ 1.25!
I wrote up a full blog post and posted a bunch more pictures in addition to the ones I posted here. You can find it at:
