Check the hours very carefully here in Google Maps, they’re currently only open Tuesday thru Friday. But, trust me, you won’t regret visiting them. The sweet young man helping at the register cheerfully answered all of our questions as first time visitors. The dining area is not super huge so we took our food to go. Maybe seats for 7-10 people? Anyway, here’s what we ordered: jalapeño - cheddar pretzel dog, super yummy. Some sort of cinnamon roll brownie, phenomenal. Pecan/cinnamon challah bread, very tasty and an incredible bargain. Pretzel bites, fresh and delicious. I can’t wait to go back!!

This is a wonderful family/veteran owned establishment. They love to serve and pride themselves on clean eating. The pastries are amazing. I had to return 2x after my pregnant wife had gotten into my "sample". Highly recommend trying this wonderful little place.

I have been a frequent customer even before her brick and mortar business. One of my favorite things are the salted and cinnamon sugar pretzels. We also love the cinnamon rolls. My 12 year old always says how they’re as big as her hand! A toasted jalapeño and cheese bagel with slightly sweet house cream cheese is one of my favorite breakfast items there. She also sells vegan challah. I have tried almost everything on the menu. Stop in early if you want the best variety because it sells out quickly.

Today I had the Turkey Bacon Club on a Pretzel Bun and let me tell you it was absolutely delicious. I loved every single bite of it. I also had the Salted Pretzel bites and they were phenomenal had the perfect amount of salt on them I can't wait to try more of what they have to offer.

I am biased! I adore Festus Main Street and Love everything there!! This little bakery took over the spot occupied by another fabulous eatery on this up and coming street. The bread was amazing, but the pretzel bites stole the show! A great place to pop in and grab a bagel or a sweet addition to your morning meal....heck...or anytime!

What a wonderful addition to Festus Main Street. I went here with my niece and we had the pot roast sandwich. Super delicious. Very tender and tasty ! Cheese on top and they have an interesting selection of chips and some drinks that I’ve never seen before. This is a great place, and I will be back soon!
