Olive Bakery, 8100 Olive Blvd, University City, Missouri, recently opened.

(USBiz.Directory) Olive Bakery, located at 8100 Olive Blvd in University City, Missouri, has recently opened, offering freshly baked Chinese goods daily.  It is an upscale, impressive atmosphere that is clean and offers beautiful and delicious Chinese baked goods.

It is located in the neighborhood commonly referred to as Chinatown because there are multiple Asian restaurants and retail shops that have become a popular area of St. Louis due to recent development by real estate investors.  The location was a brilliant choice, and after visiting the Asian community, we found the bakery only after it had opened. It was a soft opening, as it was packed with what appeared to be Asian college students and young families when we stopped by.

It is conveniently located approximately one mile east of the I-170 and Olive Boulevard intersection, which is an area being revitalized with new development.

We are excited about this new business and have high hopes and expectations of and for this establishment.  The owners and staff are friendly and prioritize customer satisfaction at the top of their list.

Differences from Western Bakeries

• Texture & Sweetness – Chinese breads are softer, lighter, and less sweet.
• Savory Options – Unlike many Western bakeries, they often include meats, curry fillings, or seafood-inspired pastries.
• Visual Variety – Display cases are filled with colorful, bite-sized items, encouraging customers to pick several different things rather than a single large pastry.
