This place is amazing based on only 2 items; I can't speak for the rest. For now, I'm going to stick with what I know and like, due to it being a tad pricey, I don't like wasting money. The Toni Morrison bowl is phenomenal, along with the caramel cake. read more

Food is always fresh and flavorful. Customer service is great. You must get a dessert.

In a non pandemic world, this place gets 5 stars. The food is wonderful even if you're not vegetarian or vegan. However, they are docked a star because a year into Covid measures, it's still an exercise in patience in getting your food. I first ran across this place years ago when a group of restaurants did a cupcake crawl. I think this was right around when Hostess had shut down operations (temporarily, though no one knew it at the time), so one of the first things I tried from here was the Fauxstess cupcake (much better than the original). Eventually, I tried their burger. This was long before impossible burgers were even remotely trendy, and I was amazed by how great they were. I've since ordered a variety of items from there, including a cake (which was amazing), and though everything is delicious, I keep going back to the Maine Event cookie and make it funky burger. In my mind, those are the stars of the menu. If you can't make a decision, get those. When Covid restrictions hit, SweetArt closed for quite awhile until they came up with their curbside option. Order online and then you park nearby with your blinkers on. I tried this several times in the first few months of the option, and it wasn't uncommon for me to not get a text at all or to be waiting an hour after my pickup time to get a text. Eventually, I just started going here less and less, as the wait times were too unpredictable. One caveat to that, I did go once during the week, and the wait times were similar to other restaurants, but a year into a Covid restrictions, it was 30 minutes after the Square estimate before my food was ready on a Saturday. The food was great and the staff apologetic, but keep a lot of buffer time if you plan to order food on a Saturday. It is so good that it is just about worth it, but I look forward to them being able to open their shop so that a quick stop becomes possible again. read more

The cashier at the front of the store was pretty flippant and rude - not very nice to interact with. I got three different treats, they were okay but the high pricing doesn't align with the size of the desserts or the quality. read more

This place has some amazing vibes, very cool from the beautiful art work on the walls to the continuous nod to the culture just made me smile. It has a boutique style that makes it quaint and very stylish. Everything is from scratch so be patient but that's a plus for me as I prefer everything fresh. I am not a vegan but wanted to try the food as a healthier option. It was very tasty and filling as my companion and I could have split one sandwich. One miss I feel is there were not any calories posted as I feel if you trying a healthy option the calories would have been helpful. If not on sweets, definitely the sandwiches. As a meat eater, I'm unsure if I can see the benefit of paying $20 for a faux chicken sandwich. That's where maybe the calories would have come in handy to illustrate those benefits. A must try and I am glad I did. I enjoyed Sweet Art. read more

This is an amazing place!! I went for an early bday lunch. The place was packed the whole time we were there. Not much seating but more people had carry out orders. I had the "Make it Funky" burger with vegan bacon and plant based burger along with a delicious kale salad. We ordered the cauliflower bites which were really huge but full of flavor which is served with sauces. My husband had the Zora Neal Hurston,yep the author-- this was a crispy chicken sandwich with a buffalo and house made ranch sauce. We also ordered one cinnamon roll which was also huge and a chocolate chip cookie which was moist and decadent. Of course we could not eat it all and had plenty to take home. I highly recommend this unique restaurant with a distinctive flair. Perfect for vegetarians!! read more

Simply some of the best vegan food in STL. Also, the best cupcakes anywhere! Go support them at their new location!

The best vegan food I've had in St Louis. I thought it was a dessert restaurant and tried it at The Foundry. OMG! I am not missing anything eating vegan here. It's soooo good! 'Chicken' and 'beef' sandwiches with 'bacon' and homemade condiments. This place is the bomb. We'll try the place on Lindell, too. read more

This restaurant is one of my favorites. Not only do they serve regular food, but they serve some of the best desserts I've ever tasted. When I tasted the desserts, I couldn't believe they were vegan. My favorite was the sweet potato cupcake. It was so delicious. The service was a little slow but they were pretty busy. read more

Great food and pastries. I highly recommend trying this restaurant, even if you're not vegan.

My #ThankYouThursday review is going to Sweet Art! I can't think of a more deserving local spot in St. Louis to recognize. Their menu of lunch/brunch items are always so fresh and creative. Their sweet burger is so delicious and be sure to add onions and avocado-yum! But let me be real, I mainly visit Sweet Art for their desserts. I can't go without picking up at least a few cupcakes and their chocolate chip cookie is the best in the city (IMHO). Oh, and did I mention they have an amazing Cinnamon roll is HUGE, the last time I ordered it, I split it with a work friend-could I have eaten the whole thing? Yes. But I wanted to share my experience with someone else. I am also thankful to have worked with them in the past for providing cupcakes and other sweet treats for an events we have hosted on campus (pre-COVID). They are so easy to work with when ordering and they are more than willing to provide a mix of vegan, gluten free, and traditional food items. Their decorations on the cupcakes are adorable and their mini cupcakes are just the cutest! Sweet Art is on my list of must visits whenever friends or family come to town and I am always recommending them to visitors on campus too. Go and show them some love and don't forget to order the chocolate chip cookie and their red velvet cupcake. #ThankYouThursday read more

Came here for breakfast on the way back from a trip and wasn't expecting such a great experience. The cafe was quiet and had a great atmosphere with all the mouthwatering treats on display. I thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast burrito and the. read more

I am convinced that this is the best vegan dessert I have ever had! They are only doing pick up from 12-4 now so it took me a while to order from them, but boy I am glad I did! What I ordered: I got the sweet burger, chocolate chip cookie (Main event), and the peanut butter fudge brownie. To be honest, the sweet burger was good, but not the best veggie burger I've ever had. Those desserts tho....the brownie could possibly be my new favorite dessert in stl. It was definitely more of a cakey brownie, but it was still dense and not dry at all. The frosting was delicious and gave the dessert a nice peanut butter flavor without being too overpowering. The cookie was great as well! Sweet art: you know how to do vegan desserts! I'll be back sometime soon! read more

I love this place. Such delicious vegan food, and the cupcakes - literal chef's kiss!

We were referred by our ABNB host. It's a cute shop, I appreciated the decor. I am NOT Vegan but we decided to try because our host said he wasn't vegan either but tried it to impress his vegan ex-girlfriend. So four non-vegans went and split two sandwiches and a pastry. To our surprise this was really good..in fact too good! We tried the Make it Funky and Zora Neale Hurst. Make it Funky is really really good. So good that we went back a 2nd time to have it and we each ordered our own! You would think you are eating a well seasoned burger with all the trimmings...texture is good too. It rivals many meat burgers I have had. The Zora Neale Hurst really shines too although none of us are buffalo chicken fans but we got it because of our host. It really comes off as a buffalo chicken sandwich! Seasoned like one, looks like one... feels like one. I Can't complain about the food here but I can look at it with a suspicious eye LOL because I thought I was not supposed to enjoy vegan. The pastry was just ok. Service was fine. We got there shortly after they opened so I didn't have to wait and the order came quickly. read more

Immediately when you walk into this establishment you can feel the AMAZING energy. From the artwork to the employees to the aesthetically pleasing treats that taste better than they look, it was a great experience all around I had the pleasure of getting taken care of by a sweet Queen named Kitt, thank you love for making me and daughter's day, with your delightful service and thoughtfulness! We will DEFINITELY be back!! read more

The food is delicious and I've been coming here for years! However, the last few times that I ate here, I ended up with total indigestion. Don't know if it's some change in my digestive track or what (?) I plan to give it another try soon because it's just so darn good! read more

This is a fun and great cafe for all vegan lovers. Parking is a bit tight when busy since it's all street parking but we most of the time walk over since it's close to our home. We tried the cinnamon rolls and they were insanely amazing! I couldn't believe they were vegan! Love the art work the owner does as well and will some day send in a request for some pieces when they are taking new orders. read more

SweetArt - Cinnamon roll - Bakeries Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

This is one of my fav places to visit when I'm in STL. All of their food is delicious and I will continue to support them!

Used to be my favorite place. Was a regular customer since they first opened so I've seen and noticed the change in the food. They stopped serving a lot of the favorites, and started gearing towards a certain clientele. Used to live for the lunches, [ was there at least 3 x a week faitfully] the biscuits, red velvet cupcakes, hummingbirds, bundt cakes, now all salty and they tastes as they substituted lesser quality ingredients. I gave them several chances...but nope it got worse. I have a friend who loved the place just as much as I did, and we ran into each other at the café one afternnon, I sat with him and noticed he didn't eat a majority of his food and fiddled thru what he ate...he then asked if I noticed the change in the food and atmospere, I then knew it was not me. When yi got home and ate my order it was not good. My son loved the brownies...stated the were not as good, ..he finally gave up too. The staff was nice and pleasant. Lost me as a regular customer. Hopefully, the new location will be better, and I wish them the best. read more

Coffee, cupcakes, and their signature sandwich was all good. However the chips paired with it were just ok, and the vegan texture of the sandwich threw me off. On he other hand service was great and it was a nice place to sit and relax for a while. The art was also very inspiring and fun to look at! read more

First and foremost, the team here is very courteous and greeted every guest as they walked in even though they were busy taking orders. The gentleman was very kind and attentive, he was funny and explained the menu for me as I was buying for my entire business team. After finding out this place was Black Owned, it was even better! Skip all the other spots in town and treat yourself to SweetArt, they're so amazing!! read more

I have heard friends rave about the cinnamon rolls at Sweet Art and I finally gave in when craving something sweet this morning and can understand the hype now. The dough, the icing on top, and the perfect cinamon swirl and flavor as well as the size of this roll - so good. I got the roll to go and ate it as is as well as heated up a piece and both ways, delicious. Cute, quaint and inviting spot off 39th that doubles as an art studio. And the staff I interacted with were friendly. They have full menu for savory eats, coffee drinks and obviously the baked goods and it's all plant-based! And I loved the little message on the box, "made with love and magic." Need to come back and try their other sweet treats and savory eats but this was a great intro! read more

Oddly I came here for a pastry and purchased the maple chicken biscuit. Which I will not get again. It wasn't bad just not my favorite chicken biscuit. Hence the 4 stars. Seems to be a very popular place in the neighborhood so I'd get here earlier in the day if you're wanting to dine in. Limited seating but enough space to enjoy your meal. read more

WHAT? NO MEAT?! Gtfo... Zora Neale Hurston's Buffalo Chikn Sandwich has NO MEAT in it. In fact, none of SweetArt's foods contain meat. This bakery vegetarian/vegan restaurant serves delicious plant-based foods. Period. Not "delicious for a vegan dish". Personally, I avoid all vegan venues and would never choose to eat vegetarian, but I stumbled across this gem not knowing it was a vegetarian/vegan cafe and am glad I did! The soy-based Chikn felt and looked like meat and didn't taste like soy either. I briefly contemplated ordering another sandwich before the beautifully moist brownie in the bakery case caught my eye! I'll definitely be back to try the burgers and cupcakes :). read more

SweetArt - a chicken sandwich on a tray with a bag of coffee in the background - Bakeries Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

All home made from scratch vegan friendly bakery and cafe. We are in town visiting St Louis and heard nothing but rave reviews for this place so of course we had to check it out! Come for the food and enjoy the artwork. It's definitely a spot for any creative, you will be so inspired. Let's talk about the menu! All food items are vegan friendly unless specified about dairy options and then they are vegetarian. The menu items are all named after notable African American figures like the Maya Angelou dish we ordered. They have a kids menu which I ordered from for my 5 year old and 1 year old. We had food from the lunch menu and everything was simply amazing. My parents who have been vegan for over 15 years were so happy to be able to enjoy delicious vegan food! My kids who are meat eaters enjoyed the vegan food too. That's how you know it's good! read more

Small, casual, vegan and delicious!!! I've had a few of the menu items: regular "chicken" sandwich, tacos, nachos, and buffalo cauliflower bites ....everything is incredible. My meat eating boyfriend tried the buffalo "chicken" sandwich (the Zora Neale Hurston) and he loved it. SweetArt is a vegan bakery too. Can't go wrong with any of the sweets but the Big Mama cinnamon roll is what most people rave about. They've recently extended their hours on the weekend which has helped with the service. This place is extremely popular. Highly recommend no matter what your dietary preferences are. read more

I saw this restaurant featured on a food show so I was determined to try it. My family and I were in town visiting my sister so we all piled in the car and headed over. We placed an online order and decided to walk around to the neighboring shops while we waited. I'm the only person that's actually plant based but everyone took my word that this place was the real deal. I ordered the zora neale hurston's spicy "chicken" sandwich with fries, cauliflower bites, a brownie, a cookie, and my family ordered the burgers, and the other "chicken" sandwiches. We rushed back to the hotel to eat and BAAAAAYYBEEEE! What kind of sorcery was that?! That zora neale hurston's spicy chicken sandwich!l was pure perfection! The texture was perfect and it packed a little heat, the soft bread hugged that " chicken" just right without falling apart from the juiciness. I took my time with that sandwich because I didn't want it to end. I promise you the whole room was silent as we enjoyed our meals. The pastries were amazing also...SweetArt you really out did yourselves with all of that deliciousness! My family enjoyed their meals just as much as I did. My sister is a first year medical student at WashU and she will be a regular. I'm so jealous. Lol! Just know you have a fan in the Carolinas and when I return I will definitely be back! read more

I finally got to try the cinnamon roll from SweetArt and i totally understand the hype my veggie and non-veggie friends have been trying to get one of these forever and now i need all of the rest of my friends to try. My partner loved the red velvet cupcake. Overall SweetArt is good to take home or dine in. read more
