La Bonne Bouchée Patisserie & Cafe in Creve Coeur is a relaxed spot where French-style pastries and casual dining come together in a way that feels thoroughly local and unpretentious. It operates as a bakery, café, and restaurant, which means you can swing by for a coffee and a croissant, settle in for a light breakfast, or enjoy a more leisurely lunch with dishes like their well-regarded Croissant Au Jambon Et Fromage or the French onion soup, all served in a setting that’s equal parts welcoming and quietly refined.

Morning visits here often find a steady flow of regulars—folks who appreciate the dependable quality of both pastries and the café menu. The ordering process is streamlined with a ticketing system, keeping things moving smoothly even during busier times without sacrificing service quality. The bakery boasts a broad selection of treats, from individual macarons to classic cakes like German Chocolate or Key Lime Pie, appealing to those after a sweet finish or a grab-and-go indulgence.

One appealing aspect is the outdoor patio, which locals—especially dog owners—seem to enjoy when the weather allows. It adds an easy, casual vibe that balances the more polished bakery counter inside. The clientele tends to skew a bit older, reflecting a neighborhood spot where long-time customers come to catch up over coffee or sample whatever fresh pastries have just come out of the oven.

This is a place best visited during quieter daylight hours if you want attentive but unhurried service, or on weekends for those who enjoy breakfast sandwiches with a European twist. Whether stopping by for a quick latte or settling in for a slice of cake, La Bonne Bouchée offers a comfortably familiar experience grounded in solid French pastry traditions without feeling overly fancy or touristy.

La Bonne Bouchee has been holding it down since 1981, which means people don’t just like her, they are now emotionally attached. This place is part cafe, part smoothie stand, and part bakery. I came for a smoothie (hydration, health, balance) and immediately derailed into sweet and savory snacks. The ricotta and spinach danish thingy ma bob was fantastic, flaky and creamy. Then I grabbed all the cookies, took one bite of each like a civilized raccoon, and felt zero regret. It’s a little chaotic in there but is clearly doing something right because it has outlived trends, diets, and common sense.

An amazing place for a more mature crowd. The food is delicious and the adjoining bakery has the most perfect pastries and cakes.

This is the cutest pastry shop. When you walk in, they have a ticketing system that really helps them provide timely and quality service (if you go on a slow time they have just directly helped out without a number). Now their selection is awesome. So many cakes and macaroons. They do have a select few gluten free options, but not sure on the cross contamination. Overall if you are near by, swing by and get some goodies!

Great French bakery and restaurant. We ate on the patio so our dog Archie could come with us. This was the first time we ate on the patio. Everyone including Archie loved it. The bakery was extensive. I’ll let the pictures do the talking.

First time customers. We were only on the bakery side. Line was served quickly. Staff were very polite and attentive. Everything looked great and tasted even better.

Service was fast and the wait staff was polite (thank you, Bella!). My favorite part of my meal was the latte - not too sweet, good size. I ordered eggs benedict. Appealing presentation, tasty, cooked perfectly. After several bites, it got a little too salty for me (but I'm more sensitive to saltiness than many). Potatoes were cooked just right with a prominent rosemary flavor. The complementary roll wasn't great and the butter was cold. But I wasn't expecting to get that anyway so I didn't mind. I would have liked the overall meal to be a little warmer, but it was still good. Ordered creme brulee for dessert. It was very sweet, tasty, had a good texture. It was premade though, so the crunchy sugar layer on top wasn't crunchy as it had absorbed into the custard. Still a good dessert but I missed that made-to-order part.
