Selection…read moreranges from scones and the ever-popular Breakfast Cookie to brownies, coffee cakes, cookies, pies, and very special treats for the evening customers, including wonderful entrees and die-for desserts. The beverages include Mexican and American sodas, coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and local beer and wines. In addition, there is a selection of international clothing and nick-knacks, make-it-at-home food packs from the Women's Bean Project, as well as chips, honey, etc. etc. On Friday and Saturday evenings, there is local music presented by some of Lincoln's finest musicians including Laurie McClain, Dr. John Walker, C. A. Waller, Chris Sayre, and others. Although there is no door charge, a purchase is required to attend so that the venue may continue to host fine artists. On the fourth Saturday of the month, a Writer's Night features excellent local writers in a performance format. Advertised as a "homespun" bakery, the Gratitude Cafe & Bakery makes its customers feel at home, caters to vegetarian tastes, and offers everyone "free hugs." A virtual unknown, this little cafe & bakery was voted among the top five bakeries in Lincoln and is a great local favorite.

Would highly recommend this place if you have any food allergies or just wanted a sweet treat after the farmers market!!! I will definitely be coming here again!!!

It was a little difficult for my friend to find the shop in the unfamiliar parking lot with odd…read moreangles and spread out buildings, but walking in was like a revelation! It was incredibly welcoming and begged for you to take a seat by the fireplace in the corner. Unfortunately, I didn't have time for a sit-down visit, I was just buying tasty things to bring home from my vacation, for me and for gifts. Not pictured (because I demolished them before I even thought about it) are the chocolate-covered gummy bears! I cannot recommend these enough. This treat is actually hard to find and even harder to find well done, and these were wonderful. The bears were nice and fresh and they had just the right amount of chocolate coating. The dark chocolate drizzle finishing them off was nice but probably unnecessary, and just ended up in a pile of crumbles that was hard to get out of the bottom of the plastic tube they came in. The serving size justified the price, in my opinion. There were so many other great souvenir treats available! But I moved on to the truffle case with all its gorgeous gourmet gems awaiting me! I selected four and was most excited for the Earl Grey one. It was decent but disappointing; I tasted very little tea inside, it was pretty much just a plain caramel filling to me. The other two are still awaiting me. The ladies behind the counter were helpful and friendly, and were patient with my indecision. I also got one of their house stickers for my collection and I was thrilled that it was so reasonably priced! Some places charge SO MUCH for stickers that are, essentially, advertisement for them. I wish I could return soon but I live far away and it will probably be a couple years before I'm back. But you can be sure I'll be making time for a longer trip here then!

Each flavor was decadent and delicious- coated in a sweet buttercream frosting, yum yum! The macarons were equally delicious! They were soft and the cream was airy and flavorful. My favorite was the chocolate- so good. The colors were also so cute. The pastels really complimented the vibe for the wedding. I heard that the service was amazing, too! Everything was on-time and the Butterfly team coordinated nicely with the wedding planner. The vibe of the bake shop is friendly and cute.

In addition to her cookie line, Zazzy offers delicious keto-friendly, gluten-free, and vegan treats. So, my friend surprised me for Christmas with some delicious very low carb treats from Zazzy. I'm talking like 3 carb cheesy biscuits, bagels, and cookies. Exact carb counts are on her website. I am just now starting another low carb adventure and this is gonna make things easier. My favorite item was the biscuits. I crumbled them up and served with sausage gravy. The texture is just a little grainy but for 3 carbs it was beyond my expectations. The bagels were ok, better toasted, and the cookies were yummy!! My sister is on a very strict low carb diet and I plan to work with Zazzy's to find a low carb solution for her birthday. Prices are higher than what you'd pay for an order of 'normal' biscuits, but not having to put in the work and buy all the special ingredients makes it worth it! 'm very happy to have this keto option right here in Lincoln!
