Curbside STL

We didn’t even know you could go in here!

Until told us, we always thought this was the “cookie factory”, but didn’t realize it was a shop too 😯

Dating back to 1938, they still use the original bakery scale and wrap your cookies in brown paper bags with a string.

’s long-time fave order is the Tedad’s with Dad’s Scotch Oatmeal cookies. Mine is the cookie sandwich (TD’s frozen custard between two Dad’s Scotch Oatmeal cookies 😋).

We got a mixed box (3lbs is a lot of cookies 🙀)—Original Scotch Oatmeal, Peanut Butter & Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip. We ordered online for contactless curbside delivery.

They are not Insta, but do have an fb or you can be retro and call 📞

Lunch ? Family-owned for over 30 years, their deli, market and catering has become a South City tradition and sandwich favorite.

We love their support for locally-made foods and craft beer featuring and more.

I love you.
I am with you.
You are not alone.

I spotted the message in ’s window in a friend’s story early on during the pandemic and it lifted my spirits. The love and joy in Elisa & ’s approach to food and community shows up in the rich flavors of their foods and the comfortable and inviting atmosphere of their space.

This week’s reminders of the challenges our local restaurants continue to face as summer turns to fall has us reflecting on how much their presence means to us. What would our neighborhoods be without these unique, independent eateries and the people who work in them?
