So glad I found this cute bakery during my one-night stay in St. Charles. Best quiche I've had in my life - fluffy eggs, flaky crust, delicious all over. Went well with my cortado. The crowd was thinning out on a Friday in the late morning to early afternoon, so I didn't feel too bad taking up a spot while doing work on my computer. The owner and staff were really nice about it, too. Wish I could find a cafe like this back home. read more

We stopped for some afternoon dessert and tea. The food is always good, but sometimes the workers seem a little rushed and unfriendly, which was the case on this visit. The gentleman who took our order was especially gruff and did not let us take our time to look at the items in the case. Our original plan was to get something for now and take home some treats for later. We stuck with just a couple of tarts and tea, not buying the extras we had planned. We all have our days sometimes, but when you have a big selection that is often different when we visit, being patient with customers lets them buy more if they want. read more

sucrose - Blueberry Frangipane & Herbal Chai - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Saint Charles, Missouri

I decided to surprise my wife with dessert tonight for our anniversary celebration week. Neither of us have been to Sucrose so I stopped by for some dessert to go. They have lots to choose from and it was difficult to narrow down my selections. I finally chose the raspberry cheesecake and the German cherry cheesecake because my wife and I both like cheesecake. The German cheesecake was like a cross between cheesecake and crumb cake, so it was a little dry compared to the raspberry cheesecake, but still good. The raspberry was the best cheesecake I've tasted in a long time. Very moist, very flavorful. Friendly staff and I'll be back to try some other great looking desserts on their menu. They also serve coffee that smelled good as I walked in. read more

Wonderful pastries. Quiche is great and there is a nice sitting area. Definitely a "must stop" when we come through St Charles MO.

How they don't have a solid 5 starts is just mind boggling. If you're looking for the best pastries in St. Charles look no further. They literally have almost anything you could ask for. Saturday's are most definitely the best day's to go as they extend their menu out a bit with additional breakfast pastry offerings and a specialty what seems like every weekend. Their cinnamon rolls and sticky buns are weighty and delicious while their croissants and danishes are so light and airy. They just do things right and consistently pump out killer product. If shopping out of the case their macrons are definitely worth the price of admission; get a dozen, you won't regret it (London fog is shockingly good). Their cookies are also divine. While their pies are pricey they totally aren't out of line with any other pastry shop and they're so food you'll forget what you paid for it after the first bite. read more

The coffee here is great. The desserts are flavorful So much more goes into making a great bakery. The customer service by the owner is unfriendly most times. They tell you if you sit too long don't buy enough charge you for a full coffee oh a refill unless you stay. They have issues with you using their WiFi without enough purchase. It's just not a warm and friendly coffee house. As I said in the beginning the coffee is great read more

They have the most beautiful selection of sweets ....almost too pretty to eat. The staff is always helpful and pleasant.

Excellent place - note they are closed until Jan 9, 2023 for the holidays. Please update if this changes. Happy New Year! read more

Great quality; great environment. I loved the heartake and had a glass of milk with it. So yummy! I love dark chocolate and the consistency was good. The environment was nice; the seating was comfy and I had a place to plug in my computer close by. Quiet place to study. read more

I love this place! Good friendly hard-working people. One of the best bakeries I've ever been to in my life. My brother lives in New York City and said it's as good as anything he's ever tasted there. This is the type of place that always serves quality and deserves your patronage! read more

Sucrose is a favorite stop for a delicious treat. You cannot go wrong with any selection. A few of our favorite and highly recommended try's would be the Hummingbird Cake, Fruit Tart, truffles, sticky buns, mousse bombs, any tart.... lavender latte, the list goes on and on. Plus we always grab a treat for the pups too. read more

I hadn't realized there was such a good mood cafe near the Historical Main Street in St. Charles. I went there with my 3 friends after watching the Christmas Parade on the Main Street on Saturday. I ordered an orange lavender cake and drip coffee. The cake was delicious and had some lavender seeds on the top of it, and they made the orange flavor much better. However, the drip coffee was terrible. My friends ordered latte, macaron, canele, and so on. Beverages with espresso seemed to be good. I am going to try espresso next time. If I knew this cafe more earlier, I could go there more!! read more

Unprofessional management. Hard to find. Not allergy-friendly: no options that are gluten-free, nut-free, and vegan. Total waste of time, literally go anywhere else. read more

We loved this bakery! I came here with family and we all tried each other's selections. My apple frangipane tart was one of the standouts among us. The bottom crust was just right in almond flavor and the apple topping ratio was perfect. My other favorites were the macaroons - specifically the raspberry one! This bakery is well managed and exceptionally clean and organized. Friendly service and I can't wait to come back! read more

Food: 5 Stars Service: 5 Stars The bakery/cafe is called "Sucrose". I mean, what more do I need to say? I was introduced to this gem by a friend today and the moment I walked in, I was ready to hand over my wallet. My eyes were salivating, that's how amazing everything looked! You'll walk into a charming little cafe set with clean modern decor. Dotted throughout are unique succulents and orchids (one of my favorite flowers!). I was immediately greeted by the friendliest guy behind the counter. He was patient with me while I was hanging off the counters, drooling over every tray. haha I ended up ordering a hazelnut latte. Not too sweet and the lovely aroma of hazelnut comforted me on this crazy rainy and windy evening. What a great way to wind down after a busy day in the office! I had the pleasure of meeting the owner before the left. She was so bright and cheerful. I felt like I had known her for years! Thank you so much for the lovely experience! I will be back! (And I'll bring an army of people with me!) read more

St Charles is loaded with bakery's and cake shops but none better than Sucrose. Their salted caramel chocolate tart it outstanding (and even better if you put it under a smoke gun). Their caramelized onion quiche is not to be missed. Also the heart shaped almond pastries are a must try. read more

Last time I was here, I just asked for a cup of hot water because 1. I had brought my own tea because 2. I have an autoimmune condition and risk a reaction to anything I purchase in public and 3. I brought a friend who ordered several things, so it's not like I was mooching. Well, the man (I think he was a manager?) was clearly offended by my free-loading request for a cup of hot water. That was February. I haven't been back -- personally, or with friends -- ever since. I share this so that maybe in the future, they'll be more gracious and generous to people, not knowing what obstacles they (or their paying customer friends) may face. read more

Oh my goodness such delightful pastries & accommodating staff. Came in for holiday order - looking for nondairy treats. Tried the cocoa macaroon & so delicious-no one would think there was anything "missing." Will have to return for lunch -easy to find right on Fifth St in St Charles. read more

The coffee is consistently amazing, but the treats.... y'all. There hasn't been one thing that I've tried that I haven't liked. The macarons. Amazing. The Gluten Free Amoretto heart cake. So good. German Chocolate Cake. I'll take five, please. The quiches... delicious. You get the point. Everything is good, you won't be disappointed. read more

We had a Friendsgiving that we needed to bring some desserts for, and my wife suggested that we give this place a try. She heard about it from one of her co-workers. I am so glad we gave this place a shot. They had so many different goodies that it was hard to decide. We ended up going with 4 different tarts. My favorite was the chocolate cream, but the others were good too. They apparently have a smores one but they didn't have any when we were there. I plan on returning to try that one out. We also decided to have breakfast there, and I got their homemade cinnamon roll. It reminded me of my Grandma's when I was a kid, and that's a VERY good thing. It was delicious. Also their mocha was perhaps one of the best I've had anywhere. It was so simple yet so flavorful! This will undoubtedly make it into our regular rotation! read more

This bakery is top notch in my book! Always trying new recipes which I really like. The staff goes above and beyond.

Ok, I know, the caveman reviewing not only a bakery, but one named after a sugar molecule!! What!?!?! But I love all food. So, this place is almost a secret it seems. Only 14 reviews and it's not really in the heart of the St. Charles restaurant scene (South Main/Riverfront). But it's well-worth the diversion. Excellent coffees and an amazing selection of sweets/treats. I had a macaroon or two, they are amazing and there's a whole bunch of different and interesting flavors. Very classy dining area, I took mine to-go since I was on the way into the office, but staying and lounging over coffee and sweets would be very cool here. Highly recommended(only for that cheat treat, of course!). read more

Sucrose is a delightful locally-owned bakery in St. Charles. I always look forward to going to Sucrose for their amazing treats. They also have a great London Fog Latte-which many coffee shops do not have. I really enjoy sitting at Sucrose with my tea & a baked good. They also have nice breakfast quiches. Be sure to follow their social media pages to find out about their specials that day. They also make cakes for special events, so be sure to go in or call! There is parking available. read more

Best bakery in St Charles, hands down! High up on the list for all of St. Louis. Not Nathaniel Reid good, but good. We come in fairly regularly. We make fairly hefty purchases. We even ordered my son's birthday cake from here, let's just say it was a tad more money than buying a cake from Costco or Dierbergs . And we were fine with that knowing we were going to get an amazing cake, which we did! The two ladies behind the counter are always super friendly. The woman that made the birthday cake was amazing. The man, owner, is curt and acts like he has never seen us before. Same less than friendly service from him Every. Single. Time. If it wasn't one of the few good bakery choices in town and if the other two ladies weren't so awesome, we wouldn't come here. But the food and workers make up for owner's lack of hospitality. I guess he is trying to give us a true taste of how the French feel about Americans??? read more

This place kicks ass!!! I decided to treat myself on my way home from the ob-gyn the other day (yeah TMI, IDGAF) because let's be honest...there aren't many things that make a gal cringe more than a trip to the taco doc. So why not reward yourself with sugary goodness? HELL YEA. They really should just rename this place Diabeetus because that is what I am gonna get if I keep eating here. HAHA. I say that in jest, just like I say I am gonna get liver failure from my favorite.....package store. LOL. Srsly though, the baked goodies here are sofaking amaze. such sugars. much flavors. amaze. wow. yas. good. A+++++++ would get fat again. I tried almost every flavor of macaron, a chocolate cream pie tarte thingy, gluten free almond cake shaped like a heart, russian tea cookies, lemon lavender shortbread, peanut butter milk choco meltaway, and yes, my jeans still fit (barely.) Oddly out of all the stuff I tried, my flavorite was the gluten free cake. B/c there is no flour used to make this cake, they use almond paste instead and it really packs a punch of flavor!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHH!!! Apparently they used to be off Zumbehl (?) go figure... I never even knew they existed so it was probably a good business move in general to come to 5th street. Wayyy more visibility. ^__^ I love the fact that there is a lot of seating here, and that they will be serving tea soon. If only they offered an afternoon tea or a high tea. Then they would fill that void of longing that Miss Aimee B's failed so hard to deliver on. Ahhh!! read more

This place is just awesome. It is such a great study environment and the people are friendly. I loved how the seating area was separate from where you order so it was quiet. The items are very well priced. I spent about $14 for a macaroon, a quiche and a 16 oz latte. read more

FOOD IS SO GOOD, service is SO SO quick, the bakery is so cute and has an awesome vibe!

Delicious pastries. Not a really welcoming environment to eat in. It's not warm and welcoming as I expect in a coffee shop.

Food: We had a couple of different items and it was sweetened so delicately and delectably. The variety was great and so was the coffee. Recommendation: orange lavender bread, quiche, with coffee Ambiance: cute and chic with lots of daylight to keep the mood bright. We went on a cold cloudy day. With some sweet treats and coffee in hand, it was the perfect impromptu date with my husband. read more

This is not on Main Street St. Charles, but it's close enough, so I put it on the list. After lunching and browsing mid-October, we were down to me and the three cousins. We got coffee and cake to sit and enjoy. Sitting area and play area for children, which was helpful. The decaf was good. I got German chocolate cake (which we know is NOT from Germany, but concocted by American baker Samuel German in 1852), which was good, moist and tasty. My cousins got other cakes with their coffee or tea, and enjoyed them immensely. At checkout, we go downhill . . . by a big load. Take out: Three American cookies ($3.15ea): Peanut Butter Monster, Oatmeal, Chocolate -- no taste of peanut butter, no taste of chocolate -- simply sweet. Hummingbird Cake (a southern classic): no taste of banana, no taste of pineapple -- simply sweet. Pumpkin Cake ($3.95) -- simply sweet. Butter Pecan Crunch Chips ($3.50) -- simply sweet. Maple Pecan Tart ($4.25) -- simply sweet. Salted Caramel Pecan ($4.25) -- simply sweet. I get it . . . you're sweet. I'd rather have some flavor. read more

I can't believe that I haven't reviewed Sucrose yet. Their bake goods are amazing - from the breads to cookies to yummy desserts. One of my favorites is the lavender shortbread cookie. Wonderful buttery cookie with a hint of lavender. I enjoy coming here for a light breakfast on the weekend. A croissant and an excellent iced mocha starts the day right. Parking is tight during busy weekend hours but there is street parking nearby. A little stroll just helps justify another cookie. read more
