The Daily Bread Bakery & Cafe
11719 Manchester Rd, Webster Groves, MO
Crema's Take
“This Webster Groves gem balances the ease of a quick coffee grab with the unhurried charm of a sit-down café, anchored by an impressive in-house bakery that earns genuine devotion from regulars. Their house-made pastries—from strawberry cheese croissants to pumpkin bread—pair beautifully with carefully crafted drinks like their signature Carmella latte, and the self-serve breakfast setup somehow feels more welcoming than utilitarian. While service can be inconsistent, the skilled baking and genuine neighborhood atmosphere keep people coming back, often knowing their order by heart.”

I asked the lady what’s their best selling bakery item and I went with the strawberry cheese croissant and I ordered a 12oz Carmella. The Carmella was excellent with the caramel flavor to my latte. The croissant was flaky which is nice. The cheese and strawberry topping was a little light on flavor. I was wanting cheese flavor and strawberry flavor to stand on their own. Very clean restaurant. The vibe of the restaurant is friendly and personable.
On multiple occasions I watched my interactions be less friendlier than the customers before and after me, though I've frequented the place for several weeks to the point someone knew my order one morning when I had arrived. Unfortunate I won't be back, really enjoyed the food and coffee.
Very interesting pastries with great prices for many drinks. Don't let the name deter you it is well worth a visit. The Strawberry Napoleon is great but the pumpkin bread is a bit dry and sponge even though it feels moist and spiced in the package. Well worth multiple visits to try the entire offerings. Staff is very kind and the seating is peaceful if a tad hard and designed to encourage you to move along.
I rate this 5 stars! This was the best pastry I’ve ever had in my life. Every bite was pure heaven and absolutely delicious. You can taste the love and skill that went into making it. This pastry absolutely made my day!
Absolutely the best self-serving breakfast diner. Bakery choice and atmosphere makes you forget you serving yourself ;) Great bakery choices, pastries, bagels, croissants, cookies. And this 5+ before we tried their strawberry napoleon! Plenty of inside and outside seating (for warm day). Restrooms inside. Many parking space on the plaza.
