"I stopped in this bakery today and got the chai cinnamon glaze cookie and it was seriously sooo good! It gave me such a nostalgic feeling from when I used to eat brown sugar pop tarts when I was a little girl. Customer service was absolutely amazing! I can’t wait to come back and bring my family/friends 💗"

"Watermelon Sugar High? I think Harry Styles meant Vanilla Sugar High I’ve never been to a bakery and gotten baked goods, left and ate them, and then immediately came back for more — at least I hadn’t until I stopped into Vanilla Sugar earlier today. The s’mores heart stole my heart, and the cookie cake put me into a sugar-laden trance I couldn’t break. But it was the cinnamon chai that gave me that Watermelon Sugar High. I normally don’t even like snickerdoodle cookies, but their chai with cinnamon glaze cookie caught my eye in the store. To understate its excellence, this is the best snickerdoodle-esque cookie I’ve ever eaten in my life. The sudden change in texture and consistency from the cinnamon glaze on top to the moist gooeyness of the actual cookie left me in awe the moment after I took my first bite. After chatting with one of the owners, I learned that the heavenly experiences I always have at Vanilla Sugar are partly thanks to their habit of baking cookies and pastries in smaller increments, and baking more of these increments through the day as they run low on specific items. This not only ensures that everything you get is as fresh as possible, but it also means they’re unlikely to run out of the good stuff just a couple of hours after opening—unlike a lot of other popular bakeries. Plus this place has a happy hour deal on cookies?? Screw the bars, I’m coming here for happy hour. Taking the entire experience into account, Vanilla Sugar puts out arguably the best cookies in the STL area. Even their basic chocolate cookie had me wondering if it was the best chocolate chip cookie I’ve ever eaten in my life. In my eyes, Vanilla Sugar goes toe-to-toe with nationally-renowned cookie places in the area like Grandma’s Cookie’s in St. Charles. This is a must-try place for anyone with a hint of a sweet tooth. Even if you’re more of an Oscar the Grouch when it comes to cookies, you’ll leave as a freshly-minted Cookie Monster once you experience their Vanilla Sugar High.

"We bought a bunch of the sugar cookies for Christmas gifts, and all were very well received! But the chocolate chip cookie? Legitimately one of the best I’ve ever had, and I fancy myself a connoisseur. I’m not REALLY sure you can call it a cookie, cause I think the only ingredients were butter, chocolate chips, and a splash of flour, but they had great flavor and an almost dough-like consistency."

"We ordered assorted cookies for a party and the quality, bake and flavors are unbeatable. Also their service has made me a forever customer! I missed the time I had schedule to pick up the order (a Murphy’s law day) and my husband called the shop realizing they were about to close and they stayed open for us to pick up in 20 min. Thank you so SO much!! You won’t regret trying this out or ordering for your next event!"

"We ordered cookies for a baby shower and they were PERFECT. Not only were they so cute, but the taste was superb. I feel like sometimes when you get a custom cookie, it comes at the expense of flavor. This was absolutely NOT the case here. When the original vision didn’t look right to them they on their own scrapped it and made something spectacular. No additional fuss or issues. They just wanted us to get the amazing cookies, and they for sure delivered. I highly recommend them and will be using them for all my future custom cookie needs!"
