The first time I walked in, it was a scalding hot day in the middle of June, and I was immediately greeted by Halloween-themed pastries, decorations, and even a trick-or-treat bowl at the register. But after I bit into the salted caramel croissant, I knew that the only thing spooky about this place was the damage it was going to do to my waistline. I’m typically not big on croissants: I haven’t been on good terms with the French ever since Air Canada lost my suitcase a few years ago, and usually I almost always lean towards more chocolate-forward selections at bakeries. But this was not the case for Pint Size Bakery’s salted caramel croissant. The salted caramel croissant is undoubtedly the best croissant I have tried in any STL bakery, and honestly I think it’s even in the same tier as places that are nationally renowned for their croissants like Arsicault Bakery in San Francisco. From the sugar crunch on the top, to the crisp of the classic croissant outer layer, followed by the soft butteriness of the base layer, and finally concluded with the salted caramel filling at the bottom — each bite provided a whirlwind of experiences that I couldn’t get enough of. I’m not one to even crave croissants to begin with, but this may be the first bakery that has me routinely crawling back just for a croissant. The lil’ Twix tart and the cookies n creme cinnamon roll were also tantalizing to the taste buds, and I was very happy with both of these. If you need something else besides croissants to round out your pastry box, these are both great additions that you can’t go wrong with. Pint Size Bakery is at the absolute pinnacle of the STL pastry game. It is undoubtedly one of the best bakeries I’ve tried in STL, and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone who craves Saturday morning sweets. Items ranked from most favorite to least favorite (with least favorite still being tasty!): 1. salted caramel croissant 2. chocolate sea salt caramel cupcake 3. mint chocolate sammie & espresso brownie (very rich!) 4.

We hired Pint Size to create our wedding cake and they did not disappoint! Not only was it perfect and well done, but it also was very tasty! Aside from the cake, this bakery makes some fantastic treats! Definitely worth stopping in. You won’t leave disappointed!

Finally got a chance to stop at this bakery. The staff was warm and welcoming. The selection was pretty darn good at noon people. Been wanting to try their Brookies and Raspberry blondies. They had several of each, so took them all I did. Then, I noticed the oatmeal sandwich cookie along with the Peaches n Cream scones. Of course, I had to get one of each to try. I'll let you know how the selection of pastries taste once I try them out. Prices were reasonable as well. Definitely support your locally-owned businesses to keep them in our communities!

Tea cookies and toffee blondies are amazing, as are the custard tartes. Don't skip the daily breakfast offering - the only reason my quiche isn't pictured is because I ate it before I could capture it :)

My friends ordered a custom cake from Pint Size for my bridal shower. Let me tell you, it was the best cake I have ever had. In my whole life. And I don't even love cake. 100/10 recommend!! It was also the cutest cake in the entire world. I can't wait to order a cake for any occasion just to taste the greatness again!!!!
