La Dolce Via (“The Sweet Way”) is a family-owned and operated bakery/café in the Forest Park Southeast neighborhood of St. Louis city.
Since we opened to the public in 2002, we’ve become a landmark in the city, known for producing the highest quality food and the most decadent handmade desserts.
We make everything from scratch, right down to the vanilla syrup we put in our lattés. Please browse our website to get an idea of the type of cuisine we serve, however, it is important to note that our food menu depends heavily on the availability of ingredients, many of which we buy from local Missouri and Illinois farmers. The menus provided here are meant to give an overall impression of the style of our cuisine, even though specific menu items will vary.
