McArthur's Bakery and The Pioneer Cafe

We had our wedding cake from here. The cake was delicious. The planning meeting was fast and easy - we just picked a display cake and did a taste test for the flavor we want. The cake turned out so pretty.

They wrote up every detail we asked for in a file during the meeting, and they sent us the file. Only once or twice did they email to clarify something in the file. They took care of delivery too.

We are so pleased. This was by the far the easiest vendor we worked with during our wedding planning. Thank you so much for the great service and the great cake!!

Wonderful to find that McArthur’s bakery has my favorite cake: an amoretto cake with raspberry filling. Yum! I was able to pick up one large slice that I took home and have been sharing with my husband. I also got a couple donuts. The staff person was very helpful. She even looked up a specific ingredient on the ice cream that I have a food sensitivity to. Thank you!

Pleasantly surprised to discover they have breakfast. Their cakes are beautiful and delicious too, especially the chocolate mousse cake.

The Pioneer restaurant has amazingly delicious breakfast. Very generous portion. I would highly recommend. I got the short rib hash without peppers or horsey sauce

I will never use another bakery again! McArthur’s is amazing! The cake and cupcakes are beautiful and delicious. They got this all ordered for me a few days before the party and the staff is wonderful! I’m so happy!

We have been buying birthday cakes from McArthur's for years. Sometimes we choose a cake from the website, but more often, I call and ask them to decorate a cake with two or three of the recipient's favorite things and leave the rest up to the decorator. They do not disappoint. Our most recent cakes have been a green cheeked conure in a rainforest, a coral reef with a sting ray, and a sloth in a hammock on the beach. All have been clever, creative, and darling. Their yellow cake is the best anywhere. We usually skip the filling so we do not have to refrigerate. Having it delivered also really helps out.

I walked into McArthur's saying I needed a birthday cake for a 3 year old girl for 20 people. The theme was "construction" and the flavor, strawberry. They NAILED it. They made a delicious white cake with strawberry filling and got creative with crushed graham crackers and chocolate cookies to make a construction site on top of their yummy icing!

We had never heard of McArthur's until we saw them on the local news on 8/30/23, so we had lunch/dessert there on 8/31/23, and it was delicious! I had a tasty salad and my wife had a light and fluffy quiche. For dessert we shared a single-serving-sized turtle cheesecake, which was really good. They also have an ice cream bar and sell some amazing looking decorated cakes. We'll definitely go back soon, and we want to try one of their cakes for a special occasion. Only disappointment was that it didn't appear that they bake their own bread, and I'm a sourdough fiend, but that must just not be their thing (that I can tell).

I ordered delivery for my Father-in-law's Bday Party of a 1/4 sheet Pineapple Upside down cake and it was absolutely delicious! Hands down absolute best bakery in STL and they listened to my requests perfectly. Thank you so much for your wonderful baked goods and fantastic service!

I requested a set of Minecraft cupcakes and a simple super mario cake. They did an amazing job on both. The cake decorator was really creative and did more than I knew I wanted. We were so happy with the results. The cake and the cupcakes tasted wonderful! Thank you!

Every time I have stepped into this bakery I have been more than pleased. We first went to taste for our wedding cake, my then-fiance couldn't make it so I attended alone but took so many samples for him. I showed Hollie all my ideas and she priced everything out so there were no surprises. Let me say, Hollie was amazing to work with!! After a few changes, we made another appointment where we both attended, had a few more samples, and ordered our cakes. We ordered 4 cakes total all matching in theme - seafoam, gold, and white. We had gold glitter, white ruffles, seafoam puffs,..ect. The color matched perfect and the designs we're exactly what we pictured. Months later guests are still taking about how beautiful and delicious the cakes were. We have since been in the store a few times and have had some macrons (the cherry was AWESOME), cannolis, individual cakes slices and a few other goodies - nothing has disappointed us yet. Love this bakery.

We ordered our wedding cake through McArthur’s for our wedding on May 26th. We were initially impressed with the tasting and we were very happy with how affordable McArthur’s is in comparison with other local cake vendors. After the tasting, we went back several times for more pieces of cake because it is that good! McArthur’s designed our cake exactly as we asked, and nearing the day of, they gave us an estimated delivery time that was very helpful. The cake was beautiful, tasted delicious, and was a special part of our day.

McArthur's recently made our wedding cake and it was fantastic! The whole process was smooth and they were great to work with. I was overjoyed when I first saw our cake.

Loved our wedding cake! We loved how it looked we loved how it tasted! Smooth delivery to our venue and professional communication with venue staff. Thank you McArthurs! We will be back.

I can not say enough good things about this bakery. We just had our wedding cake tasting there and everything went amazingly. The strawberry and yellow cake were my favorite flavors! Everyone who worked there was super friendly and accommodating.

Such a beautiful cake! I couldn’t believe how tall it was. The staff is easy to work with, and they matched the cake to my other decorations. Everyone at the party raved about the taste and texture.

They always have what I'm looking for, and the quality is consistent. I've enjoyed their bakery goods since the 80's!

I was recommended by a coworker to check this bakery out and I'm glad I did. Was looking for a cake for my sons Birthday and we got this beauty. Very pretty cake and very delicious!!! My son also grabbed some macarons. He loved those as well. The staff was very friendly and let's not forget about the free samples! Will definitely be back!

Just stopped here for the first time today and it was well worth it! Great coffee and donuts (both very fresh). Nice update seating areas and appears very clean. I will definitely be going back.

I went in to order a top tier replica of my wedding cake for our anniversary. They had my order on file from last year and were able to figure out exactly what I needed very quickly and efficiently.
We couldn't have been any happier with our wedding cake experience from last year! I highly recommend McArthur's Bakery for any of your cake needs.
