Located in historic Kimmswick, Missouri, Blue Owl began as "From the Kitchen of Mary" in August of 1983, baking pastries, candies, cookies, cakes, cheesecakes, and pies to be sold at craft shows, festivals, and fairs in the St. Louis area. By December of 1984, Mary received more orders for Christmas cookies than she could possibly fulfill. By June of 1985, Mary chose to combine her successful home baking business with the local tearoom, Blue Owl. Since that time, Blue Owl serves over 300 customers a day, and has grown from a staff of 5 to 75. Even the flood of '93 could not stop the Blue Owl. Although they had to evacuate, the valiant effort of sandbagging saved the restaurant and bakery from damage. Next year, Blue Owl will celebrate 30 years of business!
