Mauki's Bakery & Country Store

Places like this are why I'm happy to live in St. Louis. Planted only minutes away from downtown sits a cozy little country style restaurant.

Between the eclectic decor and very kind owners I felt like i was sitting down at their kitchen table for a farmers breakfast. There is a small bar off to the back with a lively bunch who seemed like regulars. Off to the side you'll notice a counter with fresh baked pies and bread. Everywhere you look you can feel how much love the owners put into this place.

I find myself stumbling into restaurants, wiping sleep from my eyes, muttering coffee please, when most people are going on their lunch break. If you like afternoon brekkie like I do get the farmers choice breakfast. It samples a bit of everything, including either biscuits and gravy or a pancake.

The sausage patties are hand made, not some frozen meat pucks. The bacon is THICC, the tattors are crispy, and you can tell the eggs are farm fresh. Their giant fluffy biscuits are even made from scratch.

My favorite part of my experience was finding out they make all their hot sauces in house. The garlic Zucchini and mango habanero pack just the right amount of heat. They have an even hotter one which was a bit too much for me, but definitely not overbearing. If hot sauce isn't your thing they even have a smoked salsa you could try.

Starting out at the Soulard Farmers Market in 2014 to opening a store front in 2020 these people have built a reputation for themselves and it's no question as to why. I felt like I got a real sense for who they are. Whether they're here serving up smiles or working on their actual farm they love what they do. I'm so happy to have stopped by and got the chance to meet the makers of this incredible establishment. If you're looking for somewhere new to eat this is definitely the spot.

Best Cafe in all of St. Louise. Owner is awesome. Try the hot sauces they make from scratch with peppers grown in their garden. Everything we had was phenomenal!!

This was a great find for breakfast!! Food was amazing and there was SO MUCH! The service and atmosphere were awesome. Will definitely stop in here again when in St Louis! The picture of the biscuits and gravy is the small size! Best biscuit we’ve ever had!

Breakfast was amazing! The owner was friendly and funny she made my group feel right at home. The food was delicious and the portions were huge with great prices!

This is my new favorite place in St. Louis. The food is amazing, homestyle cooking. The portions are huge, leaving plenty to take for seconds. Angie was so friendly and spent time talking with us about their recipes. Don’t leave without picking out a few things from the bakery! Love, love, love. 10/10 will go back again.

We are staying at a nearby Airbnb and met the owner of Mauki on the first night. So very nice. We’ve had breakfast and lunch at the restaurant. Portions are huge and so very good. We had excellent service and we have enjoyed chatting with everyone there.

Stopped by for breakfast before heading home to Indianapolis this morning. My wife had a vegetable omelette and I had the smoked pork chop/eggs/biscuit special. Great food, large portions and reasonable prices. Great service, too. We’ll be back again.

What a very friendly place. The owner and staff were great.& funny. Bring your appetite cause the plates here are HUGE . The cakes and treats are delicious as well. A must stop in and try. Only 1 block south of soulard market, on 8th street

Holy biscuits, Batman!! The Humpty Dumpty is a bacon, egg & cheese sandwich that is on two 6" square slabs of biscuits. Good luck finishing it one sitting! And the half order of biscuits & gravy would be a full order anywhere else. Delish!

This place has legit full meals like burgers, sandwiches, biscuits and gravy, etc... Get down here ASAP. Best bang for your buck for breakfast or lunch food AND desserts. HUGE portions. Everything homecooked, everything reminds you of family from the decor, to the food (especially the desserts), and definitely the owners!

It feels like being invited in to someone's kitchen with your friends.

Ask about the secret salsa for sale, it is INCREDIBLE. It makes the salsa you've been eating taste like mush.

VERY different from the same old Soulard stereotyped cafe. This one is worth a visit if you're from out of town and worth making your default spot if you're local.

Ask about their Soulard Stamp Booklet for incredible deals as well.

Doordash order:
The biscuit was HUGE! Fresh food and nice servings. Thank you for the condiments and the utensils that I didn't have to ask for.

Mauki's is a must-do stop in St. Louis/Soulard! I had delicious French Toast with fresh berries, gooey butter cake and the best chocolate chip cookie! A great place in the area to enjoy homemade breakfast, lunch, bakery items, salsas, sauces and a whole lot more! Angie & Lee took great care of me when I visited. I will definitely be back when I'm in the area!

Mauki’s food is 1st rate. Had waffle (Belgian and crispy outside soft inside) and breakfast sandwich, very large, with biscuit, egg, cheese, and bacon— so flavorful. Excellent! Owners were on premises, working, and putting in extra effort to serve up a great breakfast for us.

Stopped for breakfast this past Sunday morning. There were 4 of us and we had the Biscuits and gravy, Humpty Dumpty sandwich, loaded waffles, and a pancake. Each dish was better than the last. And such large servings. Cannot recommend this place enough. SO good!!

This is one of my Doordashing pick ups. I told the waitress Ms. Angie I would return to order some food for myself. Me and my lady went there to eat breakfast and she was our waitress. The cook even came out to greet us; made us feel at home. The service and food was unbelievable. We will definitely be back again for lunch.

Wow! Large portions here so be ready. Ordered cheeseburger of course, chicken fried steak, potatoes, french fries, and biscuits and gravy was a half order. Largest portion sizes I’ve ever seen. Everything was really good. And the service there was impeccable. Cool place to walk around Soulard is always the best. Beautiful day as well.

This is my third stop while traveling from Milwaukee through St Louis and it is always worth the stop

Delicious food, breakfast and lunch served all day, giant portions and the price is right. Service was fast and friendly. Delicious baked goods and farm decor makes it a relaxed experience. Got the Farmer’s choice & breakfast burrito—both delicious, don’t miss the biscuits and gravy!

The service was amazing, and the food even better. Cute little hidden gem in Soulard.

Ask about their 3 homemade hot sauces 😋😛🥵…I always appreciate when my lips are on fire after trying the hottest option. 👏🏻

Wow!! We just happened upon maukis for lunch today. It did not disappoint at all!!! You want a big huge delicious meal definitely stop by here. Plus the desert selection is crazy! Didn’t get a chance to grab dessert but if it’s anything like the food you can’t go wrong.
