We was next door this week & stopped in. Picked a fresh loaf of bread & couple of cookies. Both were great. Definitely need to stop in more often. Little off the beaten path, But it's worth the visit.
Had been looking for a good bakery, especially for bread, ever since moving to the area and this bakery did not disappoint. From the breads and baguettes to the quiches and pastries, none of the items have disappointed. The pricing is extremely reasonable, and all the baked goods are incredibly fresh and packed with fantastic flavors and textures. A couple of times a batch of bread has tasted a tad floury, but that was quickly remedied when warmed up in the oven, and every other time the bread has been fantastic. The staff has also always been incredibly friendly offering efficient service (bonus is that there is a sort of open kitchen going on so you can see them working on making the baked goods while you are there which is kind of cool). Would highly recommend and definitely will return.
Such great customer service and every bread that I have tried has been so yummy! If you are in search for great table or every day breads definitely try this business
As is often the case for me at bakeries, some items were great and some not so good. I loved the walnut bread, great flavor and texture with good chew. The mini ciabatta not as much. Flavor was good but did not have the open structure I expect from ciabatta. Also tried two scones and they were good but not great. Seemed a bit on the dry side.
I've recently been trying to cut out food additives from my diet. This bakery's 7 Grain Bread is delicious and has easy to recognize ingredients listed on the top. No commercial additives. I'm happy to continue supporting this local family business. Had to get some beautiful fruit tarts today as well :)
I stopped by Bluegrass Baking Co. to pick up some bread, usually two loaves of 7 Grain. This time I decided to try French Loaf Sandwich Bread along with the 7 Grain. The loaf doesn't hold true, was misshapen, and the slices were way too thin. I won't buy this bread again and will stick with the 7 Grain 42
The rustic sourdough bread is amazing! Croissant was pretty good. Italian snowball cookie was really tasty. Chocolate croissant was great. Haven't tried anything else, yet!!!
Ashamed to say I just got around to buying bread, cookies, and pastries from Bluegrass, but it's true. I came in around 1:30pm on a Saturday and bought 3 demi baguettes, 4 Mexican wedding cookies, and a oatmeal coconut almond chocolate chip cookie. It only came out to $12.50-what a steal! The baguettes were delicious with the perfect amount of crunch on the outside and all three cookies were perfection! Will definitely be back to try danishes and other breads and cookies. The friendly folks and easy to view and order system makes it a perfect stop for your baked good needs! FYI: I didn't see donuts, cake, or cupcakes available so you might try going a bit earlier in the day since they probably sell out!
I've been looking for a classic local bakery, and I must have literally walked by this one on the way to other things in this shopping center without having registered that it was there. Finally I figured it out. The loaf I ordered was a mild rye flavor and easy to cut (they did offer to slice it for me, but I prefer to wait if I'm not going to share the whole thing the day I buy it). Their variety of breads rotates and is quite respectable. There were some very Old Europe vibes coming off of some of the other breads that definitely seemed worth an experiment to me. The pastry selection was a bit more of a mixed bag; there were a lot of things I didn't care for (surprisingly limited on vegetarian stuff outside of just straight bread), but the chocolate tart I got was as indulgent as it looked. I've eaten a few grocery store breads, but if I'm going to take on the calories, I might sooner come back here in the future. I'd visit more if they were open on Sunday, which they are not.
