This was such a neat find on our roadtrip that is just one minute off the main road in their small downtown area. The bakery is sophisticated, quaint and diverse with its offerings - cold items, baking supplies, cookbooks, baked goods, breads, coffees and teas. We were pleasantly surprised to find some baked goods that we've never seen before such as sourdough cupcakes and almond and port wine plum pastry to name a couple. All that we purchased (pastries, coffee and breads) was delicious and worth the stop. read more

Small charming bread shop in downtown Leslie. Known for sourdough bread, Service is excellent

This is for an online shipping order. Damaged/inedible goods received and returned to sender after a 30-mile delivery took a week over hundreds of miles. When I asked for a refund they could recoup through their carrier insurance included with their shipping method, they refused, called my "threats rude and unproductive" and forbade me from ever contacting them again. No problem. They need a serious reset on their customer service responsibilities and responses. read more

Just off of Hwy 65 on Main Street, Serenity Farm Bread is at their new location. They no longer have the shop on Hwy 65. Inside the new shop is a quaint little sitting area to enjoy your breads, pastries and latte. They sell novelty items that you won't find in most other places. read more

Serenity Farm Bread - New store front on Main Street in Leslie, AR - Bakeries Near Me - Leslie, Arkansas

Food was phenomenal! I got a sticky bun and a latte. I will definitely be back and recommend to anyone coming in this direction. Service was exceptional and ambiance perfect. Quiet, eclectic, and has a country coffee house/ store vibe. There are there are several other items on shelves to purchase as like local jams also their famous sourdough breads. Definitely a 5 out of 5! read more

Not good. I ordered bread on 3/2/26. The bread was shipped and arrived very late on 3/17/26. The package looked retaped a couple times and the bread was old and moldy, gross. Almost $50 gone. Dont waste your money. I contacted them by phone and the "service" said they could do nothing. I have emailed them pictures and a note a couple times but no response. Lesson learned. read more

I was SO looking forward to visiting this bakery while I was in the area. I bought two round loaves of bread. One was burnt. Not just too dark - burnt. Inedible. The other was ok but still rather dry. I was so disappointed. I wasted $16+. read more

We spotted Serenity Farm Breads while driving through Arkansas and made a mental note to swing by on our way back--and boy, are we glad we did. The place is charming and welcoming, and the baked goods are top-tier. We picked up a chocolate cream brûlée, a biscotti, a cupcake, and a loaf of olive bread--all excellent. Then, in a last-minute impulse buy, I grabbed a muffuletta sandwich... and I'm so glad I did. I'm a sandwich guy, and this one was next-level--perfectly balanced flavors and great bread, of course. Highly recommend this place if you're passing through. It's the kind of stop that makes a road trip feel special. Five stars, hands down. read more

Amazing creations. The pastry is the best. I've been going to Serenity Farms for 27 years and love the bread and coffee.

Do you want your stomach to give your mouth a High Five?? Then get to this place and try their danishes! Or their cakes! Or, especially, their breads! When I was there they had a big selection of goodies: several flavors of danishes, carrot cake slices, other cakes, banana bread, cookies, eight or nine different breads, foccacias - all made with sourdough!! And the breads are made in a woodfired brick oven. So cool! We first tried the blueberry-strawberry danish and the cheese danish, which was star shaped. They were both incredibly good - you could really taste the sourdough, but they were most certainly danishes, soft and tender. My favorite was the cheese danish because it had little crispy edges. Good sourdough flavor, icing and lots of filling in both! The pizza focaccia was incredible, and each of the breads that we tried, sunflower-honey, country style and the European rye (wow!) were excellent. Remember, everything is sourdough! That's their thing, and they do it well. This place is kind of in the "middle of nowhere", but if you are anywhere close, one hour, two hours close, go, go, go! Yum, yum, eat 'em up! read more

Yummy sourdough and foccacia! Many choices! They carried the Pappardelle dry pasta that I've been looking for. Their pastries looked delicious too! read more

Bought bread and a few other items. Bread was okay - a bit stale. It was Sunday morning so they probably don't bake that day. Should have been sold as day-old. read more

Unbelievable croissants. Best breads in the state. Several other homemade items to get. Do not pass this gem without stopping.

This place is incredible! Never disappointed. Fresh ingredients. Great staff. A hidden gem for sure!

I was really disappointed in this place. It's a really cute location and looks appealing from the outside. I grew up in Arkansas but now live in Texas. I have always wanted to stop here. I finally did and was so disappointed. It was surrounded with tall weeds and a portion of it was blocked off. Where were all the desserts I have heard of all these years? We bought cranberry pecan bread and it was ok, nothing special, like I had been told their breads were. We also bought some Emily G's jelly which I found out afterwards it's made in Georgia! This place has so much potential. Someone help them! read more

What an awesome place. Should have stopped sooner. The lemon tart is so good. Tons of lemon flavor. The chocolate croissant is a must try. They have foccacia pizza take and bake. The staff member was awesome. Definitely a salesman. I walked out with way more than I had intended. Located in a neat house right off the Hwy. read more

"Quaint". That's the best way to sum up this little bakery. I've driven by this place for a whole and it kept calling to me. It was time to answer the call. Not a huge variety but what they do have is very tasty. Whoever does their baking, albeit sourdough bread or creme brulee, really knows their business. If you find yourself up in this neck of the woods, stop by and grab one of their personal pizzas. read more

A consistently wonderful sourdough bread Bakery and convenient Hwy 65 roadside attraction.

I happened to come across Serenity Farm Bread's review here on Yelp, just as I was about 15 minutes away from their second location. I was instantly intrigued, as I am a bread lover of all kinds! Their additional location is in a charming yellow house, surrounded by trees and flowers. The employee who was working was very knowledgeable and friendly, and told us a little history about the company & what they offer. As the former reviewer stated, all items are made out of sourdough. They not only had multiple types of bread, but also pastries and a small grocery selection. We ended up trying the cranberry pecan sourdough bread, which was good, but a tad pricey. read more

Great bread! I love this place. They have several types of artisan loaves, foccacia and even cookies. The building is small and cute, with a wood fire oven, I believe. Their bread is made without typical commercial yeast - they have an info sheet that describes this further. The sourdough bread has made every sandwich I have made with it excellent. The cookies were tasty, too. They have a website, and you can have the bread shipped to you, or pick it up at a select few shops in the region. A bit pricey if you typically buy cheap bread, but I think it's worth it. read more

Serenity Farm Bread - the front of the store - Bakeries Near Me - Leslie, Arkansas

Wonderful experience here March of 2021 on a family vacation. Had heard about this place and its bread and was happy to have the chance to stop by. For us, it lived up to the expectations. Everyone was friendly and the bread was just wonderful. Would definitely recommend. read more

Meh. You know those websites that look so good and tantilizing then you get there and it's no where near as good as the website makes it out to be? That's Serenity Farms. Old, run down, dirty NOTHING like the website looks. The Focaccia is so so, baked goods so so. Counter staff a bit rude. Just a disappointment. After looking at the website and stopping for lunch after a 3 hour drive I wished I'd taken another route and bypassed it all together. Over priced for a thick bread crust with a slight skim of toppings. Don't waste your time or money. Move on down the road. It's not even a good joke at this point. read more

This place has the best bread, and rolls ever. We never fail to stop and buy crescent rolls when heading to Little Rock. Just going into the bakery and watching them work is worth the trip. I can truthfully say I would rather have there day old bread than fresh bread from elsewhere. I want to point out that the store is on the highway, the actual bakery is in Leslie where they also sell bread products. read more

Had soup and sandwiches with my boys, and also got dessert. Everything was fresh and tasty,

Darling and delish. Cream cheese sourdough kolaches, a small diner and natural good grocery. Cheesecakes and tiramisu. Stop here every time.

Best bread ever! So many choices. 3 loaves for $20. We walked out with 9 loaves. I brought some home to Washington DC and my family is loving it. And the gentleman who was working there was very knowledgable about all the things they sold. read more

...I wish there was one of these in my hometown! I make a point to stop every time I'm visiting my Mom to buy extra spelt bread to store in my freezer. Oh, and the pizzas.... OM NOM NOM! read more

We stopped on our way home to TX and needed coffee. The advertisement signs say fresh bread but there wasn't any in the store nor did it smell like any was baking so I was a little confused. The products they had were neat which is the only reason I'm giving two stars but they were extremely expensive. $25-30 for a coffee mug and $65 for a rolling pin, granted everything was handmade and considered "very rare" on the tags. We found the lady/attendant to be rather rude. It was a 1.50 per a pump of simple syrup and when I asked how sweet it was, she acted like I was dumb and stated that She "could not gauge that and that it's simple syrup." When I asked if she could make a latte, I got a very Stern "No" and so I asked for 1 pump of syrup and please put cream. My coffee tastes like reused grounds, no taste of Caramel, with a hint of milk. I would hardly say that it's a decent cup of coffee and the service wasn't even worth trying it again. It's unfortunate because I think the place could be great. The other coffee we got was a straight black coffee and it was stated to be the equivalent of a somewhat strong tea. read more

We were on our way to Blanchard Caverns and decided to stop in, it was a great idea! They have WAY more than bread, but the bread is what is worth stopping. It is expensive, loaves can range from $7-12 depending on what you get. They have multiple types of sourdough and foccacia. I got a fruit filled loaf that was absolutely delicious. There are also a variety of pastries for about $4, my favorite was the cheese danish. The workers were friendly and very knowledgeable. There were other customers in the store who are regulars. read more

Second time to stop. First time left without a purchase. This time while waiting for someone to "show", the owner came in with a fresh delivery. We explained we were waiting for someone to show up to wait on us. He proceeded to shoe us a little sign that said "Holler for help as employees are in the back working." Anyway after a long conversation with the owner, we left with two loaves of bread. And three oatmeal raisin cookies. The bread is good but high priced. The cookies were about the best I have ever had. Overall, interesting place. Understand how difficult it is to survive as a specialty bakery in a little out of the way town and you can appreciate the higher cost. Try it and you will like it. read more

Wonderful is the best way to describe the actual bakery downtown Leslie or the neat store/restaurant on HWY 65. Arrive at the bakery around 11:00 AM for the hot out of the oven Focaccia. Then wait around a little while and purchase the bread right out of the oven. Cranberry Pecan has been our favorite for years, but you won't go wrong with any choice. The dessert Apple Cinnamon is great also. The staff at the bakery and at the restaurant are very friendly and most willing to explain their process for baking and the health benefits. A friend who cannot have Gluten can eat their products without a problem. If you are traveling HWY 65 or the back roads of Arkansas this is so worth the stop!! I promise you will be glad you took a little time out of the trip to stop at either location or both. If I remember correctly they do not bake bread on Wednesday or the weekend. Give them a call and place your order before you get there. In some instances you will be better served if you phone two or three days ahead and reserve your order. Yes, they sell out that quickly of most of their products. read more

Awesome bread, as good as France. Very good creme caramel (not low calories version).
