With the love, and support of my wonderful family, friends, neighbors, "From the Kitchen of Mary" was established in August of 1983. Creating a flavorful assortment of homemade pastries, cookies, cakes, cheesecakes, pies, and candies became a daily challenge. Found at local craft shows, festivals, and fairs in the St. Louis area, the demand for quality, homemade bakery production continued to grow.

It was a warm day in June 1985, when I first set eyes on The Blue Owl Restaurant. Mrs. Lucianna Ross, the matriarch of Kimmswick, met me there to discuss the possibility of my combining an already successful home baking business with a country tearoom. The dream is now a reality... and more!

We are committed to providing quality, fresh food, a warm atmosphere and an extraordinary dining experience to every customer. I realize that my prayers are being answered each and every day as we continue to grow in knowledge, experience, size, and popularity.

Our deepest thanks to all of our wonderful friends and customers who come from near and far, hoping to share the experience of a wonderful meal in a setting “just like home.”

P.S. And yes... dreams really do come true
