    Daily Bread is a delish, locally owned lunch spot with a broad menu, including options for both savory and sweet. My favorite lunch is the 5 cheese tomato basil pizza which has a unique flavor profile with delicious cheeses including smoked gouda - and fresh tomatoes. They also have the cutest baked goods - including many wrapped cookie sets that are seasonally decorated and gift ready. Service is great and the restaurant is counter service style. The line can get long but usually goes fast. The harder part can be finding a seat. They do have a lot of seating though including outdoor options.

    Turkey Spinach Artichoke Flatbread Sandwich
    Allison W.

    Always happy with my food here- whether it is a breakfast sandwich or lunch flatbread, soup, or pizza. Great for breakfast or lunch with friends, or for a quiet single table to get some work done during less busy times. (The lunch rush can get a bit crowded and you might feel like you are camping out.) Outdoor seating for nice weather days. I like to order the turkey spinach artichoke flatbread. The pizza is made with the same type of flatbread crust and it is also fresh and amazing! Several friendly staff taking orders at once so even a line that looks long moves fairly quickly. The baked goods are another reason to stop in. Amazing pumpkin bread! And while the cookies aren't my favorite- they are always soo pretty!

    Strawberry cheese Croissant
    John K.

    I asked the lady what's their best selling bakery item and I went with the strawberry cheese croissant and I ordered a 12oz Carmella. The Carmella was excellent with the caramel flavor to my latte. The croissant was flaky which is nice. The cheese and strawberry topping was a little light on flavor. I was wanting cheese flavor and strawberry flavor to stand on their own. Very clean restaurant. The vibe of the restaurant is friendly and personable.

    I popped in here after traveling all weekend and wanted something fresh and green. I love a good salad but found it hard to choose since there aren't any descriptions on the menu. I could totally be missing a supplemental handheld menu, but I remember thinking this before when I've been in during previous visits. I went with a choice that I knew I couldn't go wrong with, the Greek salad. It was definitely fresh, loved the big chunks of feta and the tangy dressing. It was a simple salad I could make at home, but that's the nature of the kind of salad. Their baked goods always look delicious, and the coffee was fresh and good as well. This place has a lot of regulars and is a neighborhood favorite.

    What a happy place! I love the open concept of this bakery and cafe, and the service is super speedy! Their glass display of desserts makes me so distracted in the best way possible! Overall, the prices are reasonable, and you can probably spend a lot of time in here enjoying the family friendly ambiance and food.

    Blueberry Sour Cream Loaf

    Yum! This place has the best bakery items and bread. For instance, their Blueberry Sour Cream loaf is phenomenal. It's also a really cute place to eat at, their lunch is affordable and quick. Check it out if you're ever in the area!

    Last Saturday I went to lunch with a friend. I have been coming to Daily Bread for decades starting out when they first opened up in University City over 40 years ago. I experienced a " freak accident". As I was pouring my cream into my very hot coffee at the coffee station something exploded at the coffee bar and spewed all the burning hot coffee on me and a metal lid from the lid dispenser exploded burning my forearm and soaking my silk top. It took what seemed like a long time for someone to even come over to help. One of the workers noticed the issue and brought some cold wet towels. Then a pastry chef finally came over to make an incident report and said something happened on the other side of the restaurant before but no one was there when it exploded. He insisted on giving me 2 pastries and said the owner would reach out to me on Monday. I am very disappointed that today March 30,2025 is one week later and the owner NEVER reached out to me. Thankfully the burn did not blister. It was a very painful few hours. My silk brocade blouse/jacket were stained. I am appalled that no one reached out to me. That lid container that exploded could have just as easily hit me in the face. What makes you think it's okay not to have reached out and explain what the issue is that you have things pressure exploding in your restaurant . Paula Sigel

    Seasonal grilled cheese with ships. Notice the size difference
    Robert B.

    We stopped here after church to grab something lighter than what's around. Soup and salads sounded good and we were hopeful after seeing the crowd. Lots of parking and the interior of the place is cute and clean. Lots of subway tiles and black metal fixtures. Order was taken quickly and we grabbed a table to wait for our name to be called. Food was ok, but everything seemed a bit off than what we expected. The "pick 2" on the meme was for a full size sandwich/salad and soup. Not sure that our salads were the full sizes. Broccoli cheddar soup was luke warm, pretty thin/runny and had as amp shredded carrots as it did broccoli. Caesar salad with tomato? Cobb salad with mushrooms? The chicken on the Cobb salad was clearly precooked, and was dumped on top, as I pulled the pieces apart, not very appetizing. The seasonal grilled cheese was the most consistent thing that we got, but it was fairly tiny. The little bag of chips that came with it made it look even smaller. Place was packed with the after church crowd, and they seemed to be doing a good business. Not sure that this is a place we will go back to again. Felt like a more toned down version of Panera food.

The cheesy focaccia was also phenomenal and we enjoyed a raspberry lemon croissant that makes my mouth water just thinking about it (but that one was a 1 day only promo so don't expect to order it :/). There's limited seating space so expect to take it to go! There was a line on a Saturday morning, but they were staffed well and it moved quick.

Got 2 sandwiches for lunch: the smoked pork and the roast beef sandwhich. Still can't decided which one was better because both were DELISH. The focaccia on the smoked pork was sooo soft and fluffy and light, combination of coleslaw with the pork was perfect. I thought there was no way the roast beef could be as good yet once again proven wrong. The challah was perfect and whatever cheese they had with the roast beef sandwhich was perfect. Pro tip: you can ask for the sandwiches to be heated up! As for the desserts: I really wanted a cake sweet treat but my eyes were bigger than my belly could handle. Got the maple pull, chocolate almond croissant , and ham and gruyere croissant. Which I cannot wait to eat tomorrow for breakfast!! Place is busy but moves fast. Side chairs and table to sit along the window.

Even with the crowd, they kept the line moving and everything seemed very organized. I ordered a fruit croissant, a chocolate Napoleon, and a coffee. After I paid, my pastries were packed up right away, and within just a few minutes, my coffee was ready at the coffee counter. The whole process was quick and efficient. My friend spent a little extra time browsing all the pastry cases before finally making her selections and ordering a coffee as well. While we waited, we admired the beautiful cakes on display and talked about all the incredible-looking pastries. Honestly, I wish I could have ordered one of everything because that's what I really wanted to do! Pastries are one of my biggest weaknesses, and choosing just one or two items is never easy at a bakery like this. Everything looked delicious. In the end, I was very happy with my choices and enjoyed every bite. I even took the chocolate Napoleon home to share with my husband, and he happily helped me finish it. Overall, it was a great spot for coffee, pastries, and catching up with a friend, and I'd definitely stop by again the next time I'm in the area

Last year, (I waited that long) I sent Simone, the owner, a message on instagram to let her know I was frustrated about having trouble getting any of the crème puffs she was constantly advertising. They were one of my favorite pastries she made. (Obv not super important I just thought she may not know & what could it hurt giving her some input from a customer, she may know know?) In this message I also told her how long I'd been supporting her & why and how much I loved her bakery. She is black, female, and truly an artist and master at her craft. With a good personality, That being said; she unleashed her fury on me, one of the angriest most condescending messages I had ever read. Not sure if I caught her on a bad day or she just doesn't handle feedback well. I was stunned and disappointed. Either way, I would never consider stepping foot into her bakery ever again. Her window has maybe 5 things to choose from. It's pretty sad, but there were 2 items I love love loved, and I drove out of my way and paid top dollar for those items. She's by far one of the most expensive bakeries in St. Louis, but I enjoyed supporting her I thought she was great. And she has a moving story. Sadly she doesn't know how to handle customers or feedback. I'm in customer service, 30 years, that's not how you do it, I still think she's a cool Person but not enough to support her. We have a ton of fabulous bakeries here I'd rather go to like Nathaniel Reid or Russell's or MO baking co....

Honestly, if you judged it by the outside, you might drive right past it. There is one parking spot in front, and then a run down parking lot behind and to the side. The moment I walked in, I felt like I was back in my childhood. The lime green decor, the dark bakery display cases filled with buns, and the small plates of food inside reminded me of the Cantonese bakeries I grew up going to. They also had ready to go meals wrapped up to take home. We bought a bunch of things to try. We had the beef cheung fun, siu mai, BBQ pork baos, sesame balls, egg custard tarts, and one of my favorites, the giant round sponge cake. Everything was fresh and really tasty. The roast pork looked delicious too, with nice crispy skin. The biggest surprise for me was seeing lo po beng (Old Wife Cake). We can hardly ever find it on the East Coast, so whenever we do, we always buy some for my mom. Seeing it here made me so happy. I live in the Metro D.C. area, where we have some really good Cantonese bakeries, so I wasn't expecting much from this tiny place. But honestly, Wei Hong Bakery could definitely give many of the bakeries back home a run for their money. Don't let the outside fool you. If you're looking for authentic Cantonese bakery items in St. Louis, this little bakery is absolutely worth a visit. It brought back so many childhood memories, and I'd definitely stop again the next time I'm in town.
