I have been to this business once before but had not left a review. First, this is a…read moremultigenerational business and they know their customers. A broad variety of hot and cold entrees, a beverage bar, and full bakery make Hoeckele's a destination location. Today, I had an iced chai latte to accompany my lunch, a pretzel melt. The turkey was fresh, the bacon exceptional, and the pretzel itself soft and savory. A great sandwich, and I picked their potato salad as a side. It tasted homemade and was creamy, a good balance to the melt. I will certainly pick out some pastries to take with. I highly suggest that you drop in the next time you're on I-55 in Missouri.

The cookies were nasty. We bought 3 and they were inedible to say the least. My icing was 2…read moredifferent colors and was cold as if it had been frozen. The cookie was bland. It's a very old style donut/deli/cookie place. As we were eating our cookies, they were slamming a bucket of cleaning water near our table as if they were trying to get us to leave, so we did. Massive waste of money. Definitely will not return.

I was out of town for the weekend and looking for a one breakfast spot. I happened to find this…read morelittle gem with a quick Google search and it did not disappoint. This is in a beautiful building in downtown Ste Genevieve. When you walk in, you're greeted by multiple employees eager to help, a beautiful dining area and cute menu with a baked goods counter. Breakfast options were perfect portions and the coffee was great! You order at the counter, find a seat and your food is brought to you. The muffins and breakfast bowl were great!

Everything was fantastic. We had breakfast on a Saturday. The place was packed but we still got…read morefantastic service and our food fairly quickly. My husband got the breakfast burrito which he demolished and I got the Philly omelette which was packed full of meat and cheese. We split the cinnamon roll waffle which has a cream cheese icing to die for. It's the best waffle we've ever had. I watched many fantastic looking goodies getting delivered to other tables. We will definitely return to try some of the other mouth watering options. Staff was attentive and super sweet. Glasses stayed full and we left stuff. The abbey is a beautiful building. Historical photos line the walls. It is definitely a worthy day trip. Don't forget to grab some baked goods to go. They have bread a pastries. My husband and I had a phenomenal meal and we will be back to sample more.

When the previous owners ran Thee Abbey, the food was sublime .. fresh everything! Roast beef was a…read morebeef roast, not sliced deli meat. New owners, nowhere near that level of excellence. I wanted a steak, perused the menu, saw something that said "Saintsbury Steak", "real Missouri beef", etc. $18, sounded like a steak to me. Turns out it was a tiny little SALSBURY steak!! On a bed of fake mashed potatoes. When I contacted the owner, told him I was misled by the description on the menu, was very disappointed in an $18 HAMBURGER on fake potatoes, he simply said he was sorry I felt that way, so sad. He said that was one of his best sellers. All I can say is his clientele must not have much to choose from. I'll NEVER go back there again. I sure miss the previous owners who cared what they served and how people liked it.

Oh my goodness! This bakery from the order to the pick up of the cake was amazing. When I saw what…read morethe design did, almost cried. They didn't have a sample of what we wanted in their design book. The designer came out to speak to my son and I to get an idea of what we wanted. Something about her just told me to trust her. I am so happy I did. Everyone at the shower commented on how adorable it was. Thank you so much. It not only made my day, but the mommy to be absolutely loved it.

All these sweet confections were scrumptious! Staff were friendly, helpful, and customer service was great. I need to go back. They had cookie cakes, cakes, all kinds of amazing looking pastries, and several types of breakfast stollen that are begging to be eaten with a nice cuppa hot tea. I'll be back!

Hands down one of the best pieces of cheesecake I have ever had. Very creative specialty flavors…read more The staff and owners are friendly and helpful to first timers. This is not a place to get a cheap dozen doughnuts but it is a place to get quality baked goods that are well worth the price.
