4 Seasons Bakery & Catering

This was a surprise to find a jem of a bakery in a small out of the way place that totally and truly is what everyone says in reviews there goods are delicious and they have a little taste of everything will be back and back and back!

Hands down my favorite bakery in town, and worth the trip to St. Charles. All substance. And no hype. I’m excited for them to move into their new space, and wish them continued success.
Some of my favorites include their seasonal tarts, frangipane tarts, crumb topped pies, gooey butter cake, German chocolate cake. Much of what they have they make available in tart size making it easy to rationalize the importance of trying a few different things.
Fantastic.

German chocolate cake & lemon merengue pie. So good! Can’t believe we didn’t know about this little German bakery. Just like the bakeries in Germany. Will definitely be back!

I would consider this place a hidden gem in St. Louis. If it was downtown or in the Central West End this place would be ten times popular. At the end of the day they make great baked good. Really, really great baked goods. I ordered a custom cake and was blown away by the quality of the cake and the service.

Stopped in looking for Gooey Butter Cake for a coworker’s birthday. Picked up a half-​dozen Gooey Butter Cake bars. Coworker loved them– and he’s a self-​proclaimed «baked-​goods snob». I was impressed with the selection for a weekday morning. Lots of fancy tarts, muffins, cookies, macaroons, etc., and is more like a European bakery than any other bakery in the area.
Stopped by the following Saturday morning, hoping to find some croissants, as I have been hungry for some authentic ones since our last trip to Europe a year ago. I was disappointed, as they only had ham and cheese croissants. Will return, in the hopes that maybe I was just too late in the morning for plain croissants (and chocolate croissants for my husband!).
Overall, and nice hidden gem.

Love this place! We always get our birthday cakes here (white cake with raspberry filling)!! So good!

Had a huge assortment of heavenly treats from 4 seasons at work this week & everything was awesome! From the mini coconut cream & boston cream pies to the mini cheesecakes & flourless chocolate cake, all so good! I didn’t know this bakery was in st. Charles but ill be going to try their scones very soon!

One of the best if not THE Best bakery in the St. Louis & St. Charles area! Everything that I have bought & eaten from here as been so delicious! You need to make the drive & give your sweet tooth some yummy delicious goodies to eat!

Just a small update. I’ve tried a good portion of the items the bakery makes and every single time I’m blown away at how amazing everything tastes!!! The quailty of their products can’t be beat. I would think everyone would have an off day or a bad product here or there, nope. not the case! Everything is good! They have a very diverse selection and the products are rotated frequently! I can not say enough good things about this place. Please go and support them! Yum!!!

Been staying in St Louis 3 weeks at a time since November. I got to say this is just the best of the best! I ordered gluten free sweets for my Husband for valentines day and it was unbelievably good! They also went out of their way to accommodate me by delivering my order which is not part of the deal. what a great customer service! You get the whole package here! Awesome yummy goodness treats, awesome customer service & for a decent price. I’ll definitely order again! Thank you!

There must be something about great bakeries in small spaces! You won’t believe the pastries and flavors coming out of this bakery! Both owners are trained pastry chefs from the CIA. (No, not that CIA!) The Culinary Institute of America! I had the coconut cream pie and OMG! It was so good that I wanted to stick my face in it and eat it like that! It was light and fluffy, like a coconut flavored cloud! The gingersnap cookies are not as «gingery» or as «snappy» as what you are used to, but have a mild chewy texture and sublime taste.
I like coconut, so I tried the macaroons too. These are not the typical overly dense, «try not to choke on them» macaroons. These were light and airy like a puff of air with a crispy coconut shell! Terrific! They also make salted caramels. So silky smooth, that you can taste each ingredient one at a time! Since it’s Christmas time, they have Springerly cookies also. A German cookie with a mild anise flavor. They have to rise overnight, so that the dough gets the perfect amount of «spring» in it. Hence the name! They have a great variety of cookies, muffins, pastries, etc. Whatever you try, I know it will be good!

This bakery is amazing! Everything I’ve tried has been absolutely delicious, the owners are friendly, and did I mention everything is delicious?! I offered to bake something for my husband’s birthday this year and he said all he wanted was an apple pie from this bakery. Some would say that I should be insulted, but let’s face it, there’s no way anything I could make could even compare to what Four Seasons has to offer! I’m pretty sure my husband and I have discovered our favorite neighborhood bakery thanks to a Unilocal recommendation, and I have no doubt that we will be back as often as our waistlines will allow it!

Mrs. S found this little (and boy do I mean little) bakery right here on Unilocal!
We were looking for a place to get a cake for her grandparents 60^th Wedding Anniversary. We stopped in last weekend to place our order, which was to be ready on Saturday by noon. The couple running the shop were extremely nice and very friendly. They seemed to really enjoy their business and it showed in the presentation and aromas escaping the display cases by the front door.
When it was time to pick up our order, disaster struck as her grandpa ended up sick and ultimately in the hospital for observation, canceling the party. We picked up the cake, and asked a few questions about freezing the cake and how it might hold up, to which we were met with concern over grandpa first, followed by a «whatever we can do» attitude to make sure the cake was able to be used when grandpa is feeling better. They wrapped the cake to prep it for the freezer, again offered concern over grandpa, and won us over with their sincerity. What a wonderful couple?!
In the end, all wasn’t lost. Grandpa is fine and feeling better, and since I was going to be depraved of cake for the day, Mrs. S allowed me to buy a slice of the «Best Ever Apple Pie» that was on display on the counter. I’m a huge apple pie fan, and usually when trying new things am the guy to at least offer my wife a bite. I was literally licking the crumbs from the container when I realized my wife was still in the other room. She didn’t get a taste of this pie, but it’s all good. I’ll just go back and get another one. Maybe a whole pie this time?!

OMG what a find!!! I was searching on Unilocal for something quick to grab while I was running errands but I stay away from fast food places. This place is a goldmine. When you walk in the smell is just plain airborne delish! The couple that owns the place are so warm and friendly. He explained the different types of treats and after I ordered the dark chocolate raspberry torte; blueberry muffin and a oatmeal/​chocolate chip and peanut butter cookie to go I asked about the quiche. And walked out with a goat cheese quiche to go which they kindly heated and put on a plate w/​fork. Absolutely yummy!!! I will absolutely be back and I’ll def tell my family and friends about this gem. And yes don’t be deterred by the outside appearance because its a true local bakery & everything is homemade and you can def taste the difference. Flaky quiche crust and that delicious egg/​cheese center. YUM!!!

They definitely like their crumbly stuff here.
I’m all for that.
We saw these guys at the Lake St. Louis Farmer’s Market and really enjoyed their small pear crumble pies. We stopped at their location in St. Charles and grabbed a good collection of pies and cakes.
Rich is the first work that comes to mind when taking a bite. But… that’s what milk is for, right?
One thing of note is that they have brioche. This bread is relatively hard to find in this town in its purer form.
Anyway, they have a pretty large selection of pastries and whatnot for such a small store front. It’s going to be hard for us not to stop here whenever we’re passing by Zumbehl on 70, which isn’t that often, but often enough (usually on our way to Donut Stop).

Loved this small bakery. Thank you Unilocal for helping me discover this jewel of pastries. My boyfriend loves chocolate, and there were several choices to offer. Run by a German young lady and she said all ingredients are fresh with no preservatives. Loved everything I got.

Don’t let the exterior of this place trick you. It’s in between some shady looking quick cash places, and it is tiny. But you walk in and it’s this small, adorable delicious smelling little bakery. It is fantastic. The couple that owns it are so sweet and nice. I asked about their gluten free items, I had looked online to make sure they had some. We bought a almost each of the GF items available. We bought a chocolate caramel trifle, flourless chocolate cake, french macarons, and a coconut macaroon. I tried a bit of everything and it was all fantastic. I definitely plan on coming back and sharing with gluten free friends!

While visiting the St Louis/​St. Charles area we wanted to enjoy some local baked goods. We followed Unilocal’s recommendations and visited 4 Seasons to pick up a few things.
It is a very small place — I don’t think more than 5 or 6 customers could fit inside at a time, but the space was the only small part of the bakery. The selection of on-​hand pastries, cookies, and cakes made it hard to limit my spending. Things looked terrific and taste great, too!
Every part of me (except my waistline) wishes we had a bakery like this back home!

This adorable bakery showed up over a year ago, and the very first day they had me hooked on their fresh peach tarts. By «fresh,» I mean that they had the fresh whole peaches right there sitting on the counter, and tarts were pulled out of the oven while I was there.
Since that time, I drive by every day — and I do not stop as often as I should (which would be every day!). My co-​workers have fallen in love with the breads that I bring from 4 Seasons — cranberry, banana nut, pumpkin and their favorite: squash chocolate.
4 Seasons posts lots of photos to their Facebook page. Since they are always creating new and different things, you never know what they might have. Often, I see something interesting on their Facebook page and stop by the next day to pick it up. Recently, they’ve installed a refrigerated case and they are offering more perishables.
Other favorites of mine are the macaroons, the Dutch almond cookies, and the ganaches — any ganache. The bread pudding is awesome when warmed. They have various quiches, which I’ve taken for lunch. Oh, and the handmade ice cream.
Please excuse the interruption in this review — I have to pause this review to run up and grab one of those flourless chocolate cakes!

A fantastic little bakery in a location you’d miss if you didn’t know it was there. 4 Seasons is located between a liquor/​convenience store and a check cashing place. Odd! But they don’t need a fancy location because their products speak for themselves.
For the gluten free folks — they even have some things for you. Peanut butter cups, flourless chocolate cake, macaroons, and cookies (on occassion).
The flourless chocolate cake is incredible. It’s smooth and creamy, SO rich and delicious. You can order a large one or pick up individuals at the shop.
For my 30^th, we had a white cake with mocha filling and everyone was raving about it all night. They decorated it nicely with raspberries and chocolate. I want it again now that I’m thinking about it.
The scones are delicious! I thought scones were dry and I didn’t like them. Wrong! Their scones are moist, crumble just slightly and have great flavor. They had blueberry and cranberry orange the day I stopped by.
I seriously cannot wait to try something else next time!
