Diana's Bakery on Cherokee Street -- ¡qué delicia! A true St. Louis treasure with beautiful Latin…read moreflavor. 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.

From the looks of it, it's a small, family and black-owned Ice cream shop serving hands-down, some of the best ice cream I have had!!! So smooth, so creamy, and some good flavor combos (basic girl vanilla I think was in the name and the TWIX!!!! sheesh-so good)! Love that they also had some dairy free options and I also believe a couple of vegan ones! Serviced was impeccable! We were helped right when we walked in and he was so patient and kind when we ate all of our Ice cream immediately and needed seconds! 10/10!

They've got their "naughty" menu with alcohol named flavors and a "nice" side, plus a full vegan lineup (which is rare and very appreciated). I went with the vegan lemon poppy seed and it was unreal--bright, creamy, and one of those bites where you just pause for a second like... yeah, this is it. The spaces are always cute, we sat outside, and they even have doggy ice cream which is honestly the cherry on top for alota folks. 100% worth the stop.

This was the closest spot on the way to the airbnb so this was the choice. I do like the name too... have you been naughty or nice? It seemed their main draw was whether you want 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 scoops. The scoops were huge and they seemed reasonably priced. I can't remember exactly but the prices were something like 1 scoop(5 dollars), 2 scoops (8 dollars), 3 (10 dollars), all the way up to 5 scoops (15 dollars). Definitely more reasonable the more scoops you order. Maybe the 5 scoops are for naughty people and naughty people deserve the multi-scoop discount too. Anyway, I went with 2 scoops (Biscoff and Midnight Pleasures(dark chocolate ice cream). I couldn't resist adding honey whipped cream and cherries. Got it all in a waffle bowl. Biscoff - Delicious ice cream. Midnight Pleasures - I love dark chocolate. I prefer it. Not sure how I feel about this ice cream flavor. It was very rich and almost tasted dry(which is odd since it's ice cream). It tasted fine but I doubt I'd go to this flavor again. Honey whipped cream - I'm not sure I've ever had honey whipped cream and now I crave it. It's very specific but when you get that surge of honey... drool. Cherries - Juicy and delicious. Perfect for my bowl. We wanted to go back before we left town but got busy and weren't able to. The standout is definitely that whipped cream. I think it's a must-add for any of their ice cream flavors.

My only critiques is there could be just a tad bit more lighting in the back, it was pretty dim and a little difficult to read the menus. Also the music could be turned down a tad as well. Had a great date here overall and would likely go back :)

We walked in and were warmly greeted by the bartender/server. Water and menus were immediately given, as well as some complimentary chocolate chip cookies. Everything on the menu looked so good, but I already knew I wanted the Bailey's brownie. My boyfriend got the banana split. After a short while our desserts arrived and I couldn't wait to dive in. The brownie was the perfect mixture of caramel and chocolate and mixed in with the ice cream was the cherry on top. I relished each bite and my palate was more than satisfied once I finished. In addition to the decadent dessert was the stellar service. Our water was always filled and it was a great experience. I'll def be coming back for my future brownie fix!

There are many Americanized Chinese items on the menu, but the best deal on the menu is the rice dishes (if you're a meat eater). Packed full to the brim, you'll get steam rice, sautéed fresh bok choy, and your choices of main entree (I always get either the ginger chicken 蔥油雞飯 or the 3 meat trio of duck, roast pork (think lechon), and the ginger chicken). I can eat off that plate for 2 or more meals. So good, worth a try if you haven't!
