    We're here for cheesecake and that's what we got it's a nice small spot that specializes is cheesecake and cakes like carrot cake etc... I ended up getting the banana pudding cheesecake slice while my hubby got the German chocolate cheesecake I will admit his tasted better but mine was good as well the service is friendly and quick greeted upon walking in the ambiance was small with cute decor nothing more

    Carrot Cake - Slice
    Money F.

    I am a carrot cake connoisseur! Hank's has one of the most moist cakes with perfectly sweet frosting! I may try a slice of cheesecake one day but the carrot cake has me hooked!

    9in Banana Pudding(AMAZING)
    Kyle C.

    The customer service was good!!! The setting is that of a cafe style with real utensils/plate ware. The cheesecake is next level with a plethora of flavors....a must visit if you like cheesecake

    Key lime cheesecake and impossible cake
    Robert B.

    We came in to pickup a dessert for an anniversary dinner, and ended up trying a piece of cheesecake while we were there. The cheesecake was very good, although expensive, but good as an occasional treat. We were surprised to see that the cake was just cello wrapped to a cardboard disc. I'm glad we were careful with the bag, as it would have been upsetting to find it smashed when we got home! The dining room felt dated and cluttered, but the product was great. Might just be a grab and go type of place!

    Customer for 10 years and it never disappoints. By far the best cheesecakes ever!! I use them often for their minis for parties and they're always a big hit

    Cheesecake flavors; Banana pudding and Chocolate raspberry
    Molly G.

    This is the best cheesecake spot in St. Louis. Most recently had the banana pudding cheesecake and it was delicious. Hank's is sold out of several restaurants around the city and I was at one. They had plain, chocolate raspberry, and banana pudding available. The store itself is very cute. Service is quick and friendly.

    12 inch white chocolate raspberry
    Cathy D.

    Wow! I have been sleeping on this gem! Recently tried the white chocolate raspberry at an event and it was out of this world!! The cheesecake was light but creamy and the raspberry was perfect amount of tart. Definitely will come back to try more flavors!

    Cute little shop on big bend with friendly staff! Their cheesecakes are fantastic! Great dessert to bring to a dinner party or housewarming event.

    Almond Cappuccino- slice
    Ali H.

    This place is so cute and I love the little diner atmosphere. The cheesecake is phenomenal, and the girl helping us out was very nice! I had the white chocolate raspberry and almond cappuccino cakes and loved them both- but the raspberry was especially good. Would definitely come back here for desserts.

    9in Amaretto Caramel
    Austin S.

    Had a slice of Hank's caramel amaretto for my birthday. Of course, the phone did not eat first. But, the cheesecake was decadent. Much lighter than a lot of other cheesecakes out there which, in my opinion, was a welcome surprise. The saltiness of the caramel paired perfectly with the creaminess of the cheesecake. The amaretto adds a wonderful flavor that I cannot quite articulate. Delicious, nonetheless. The chocolatey crumb crust was also wonderful, I only wish it had a bit thicker layer to help its flavor shine through a bit more. Additionally, the single slice is a bit small, but that is okay. All in all, a fantastic cheesecake, I hope to go back soon and try some additional flavors!

    I don't usually have cheesecake unless it's from a specific place in NYC, but my friend convinced me to give this place a shot and I have no regrets! My favorite part is the diverse selections of cheesecakes and I wanted to just sample a bit of each one. My favorite was the chocolate covered strawberry followed by the strawberry shortcake (this one has some sponge cake in it so not completely a cheesecake). I wonder if they change their selection, I guess I have to come back to check

    Cheesecakes
    Monica M.

    Awesome place! Finally had the pleasure of stopping in after Hanks has been on my list for years. We ordered 6 slices because we were quite literally overwhelmed by the huge selection. We got the banana pudding, tiramisu, chocolate chip, apple, German chocolate, and another one that I forgot lol. All were incredible! Sizes are a bit smaller than Cheesecake Factory but prices are cheaper as well. You can tell these are so fresh and made with so much love. I will be back for a full one soon!

    Demolished 12 pieces!

The moment you step into Diana's, you're wrapped in the warm, sweet aroma of a traditional panadería -- fresh breads, sugar-topped pastries, and that unmistakable feeling that everything here is made con amor. The pastry cases are a celebration of color and flavor -- pillowy conchas, golden empanadas, trays of vibrant pan dulce, and fresh breads like bolillos and telera rolls that practically beg to come home with you. Every bite feels authentic, comforting, and joyful -- the kind of baking that carries tradition in every crumb. The conchas are especially spectacular -- soft, lightly sweet, with that perfect sugary shell. Pair one with a cup of coffee and suddenly the whole morning feels like a little fiesta. I especially love popping in and picking up fresh bread for Sunday brunch. There's something about bringing home warm bolillos or sweet pastries that instantly turns brunch into a celebration. But what really makes Diana's shine is the spirit of the place. There's warmth, laughter, and that welcoming neighborhood energy that makes you want to linger just a little longer. The staff are so gracious and kind -- the kind of hospitality that makes you feel like familia. Diana's Bakery is more than a bakery. It's flavor, tradition, culture, and alegría all in one beautiful little spot on Cherokee Street. Auténtico. Delicioso. Puro sabor latino. -- Big Daddy Tedd Energy

    Unfortunately I think I just don't like a lot of Mexican pastries. My friend that is more familiar…read morewith these types of sweets told me that dry and crumbly is the style, and that's just not for me. I tried several different things and didn't really like any of them. The sugar cookie with sprinkles, the almond cookie with powdered sugar, and the frosted chocolate sugar cookie were all no-go for me. I wanted to buy the wagon wheels (not sure if that's what they're actually called?) but they were plain! No cinnamon sugar on them. The service was pretty good! We didn't chat with anyone as we shopped but once we got to the counter, they were friendly and helpful. The line went by quickly and the atmosphere was warm and cozy. My compatriots also got several things and I'll add their reviews too! Cannoli - the filling had a gap in the middle and it was little disappointing. The filling was good. The shell was a bit thick. Pretty good overall. Cheesecake - not my favorite. Tasted good and the texture was perfect but not cream cheese-y enough for my liking. The chocolate version might be better. Giant meringue - really good! Nice and crumbly with a great taste. Wedding cookies - didn't taste like anything and they were super dry. Literally no almond flavor at all.

I enjoyed a Smoked Ham and Gruyere Croissant and a black coffee in house. I was to have a seat at the counter in their front window and relax while my dogs were at the doggie spa up the street. The croissant was super-super flakey and the smoked ham paired beautifully with the gruyere cheese. I couldn't come to NRB and not take home a couple of sweet treats. My favorite treat was the Raspberry Lemon Financier. It was so good the next morning with my home brewed coffee. Then that evening I enjoyed a Lemon Cake whose name I cannot recall. It exceeded moistness and the strong lemon flavor was just what I like. In addition to my treats, I got a Chocolate Chip Pecan Cookie for my fur-babies pet stylist as part of her tip.
