If you have a sweet tooth, you must visit The Blue Owl Bakery and Restaurant. Located in a small, historic river town about 35 minutes south of St. Louis, this restaurant has been a dessert destination for diners for over 30 years. The Blue Owl does dessert so well that they have an entire room of the restaurant dedicated to sweets, and they operate an entirely separate desserts destination at the shop right next door!

The Blue Owl in Kimmswick has been serving amazing baked goods since 1985. Owner Mary Hostetter opened with five employees and dreamed that one day people would wait in line for a table at the Blue Owl.

However, it's likely she never dreamed that her little restaurant and bakery would be cast into the spotlight by beloved daytime talk show host, Oprah! The Levee High Apple Pie was featured as one of Oprah's favorite things for her holiday gift guide in 2011.
