Prioritized Pastries, LLC

Ugh, this pains me to write. I wanted to love this place sooo much. Love supporting small businesses but I just can’t recommend this. The whole experience was wrong. I ordered a cake online, tried calling/emailing/sending a form on the website to confirm that the order was good to go, especially because it said pending on order status. Only heard from owner day of pickup. So communication is just not there. I’ve had gluten free/vegan items from places all over and this just wasn’t it. Bought the super cute rainbow cake for my kids birthday. We have been eating vegan/gluten free for years due to allergies and I was thrilled to find a shop that we could order from. The cake, however, was an odd texture and tasted slightly like pretzel. The icing was sweet and delicious and it looked so pretty but the whole thing ended up in the trash. Unfortunately no one at the party finished their cake slice.

3/5. As of June 26 2025, We’ve been coming here for a year. My gluten free kids 7,8,10 have had great luck showing Sundays between 1230 and 1:30, so impressed with quality and variety, Alex is a wonderful person, the whole in-shop experience is such a treat for us, however don’t place special orders Pros— Prioritized Pastries bakes the most delicious and best variety of GF products in St Louis; Alex is so welcoming and interesting; things are reasonably priced and well portioned Cons— after placing an order in person 3 weeks in advance and following up on instagram 1.5 weeks out, shocked by PP’s failure to deliver on my daughter’s birthday cake for her 10th birthday, it was hard to see my kids so disappointed; hours are not reliable or updated regularly in google maps ; hard to get ahold of (tried email, calling, stopping by in person, had luck once using instagram) Recommendations — improve organization ; consumers should use caution when placing special orders with PP, have a solid back up plan ; PP may consider having a system to organize orders and verbally follow up confirming details with customers 24-48 hours prior to pick up date ; update hours on google and pick up your phone line :) Summary — Show up Sunday at 1p and get yourself a treat but be prepared to try again next weekend if they’re closed…you won’t regret it!

This place is awesome. My order was made precisely and on time, the staff were very friendly, and they were quick to answer any questions i had. The cake was delicious, and thats coming from a person that enjoys dairy and gluten and all the other ingredients of which one that would require a cake like this cant enjoy. 5 stars all around, and i highly recommend everyone give it a try!
