Don't let the size fool you! The bakery was packed with delicious treats. The staff was lovely and explained the items that were new to us. Upon arrival, grab a metal tray and tongs to serve yourself. Don't be afraid to ask questions! The churro was divine and so was the cream filled empanada! Oakland Bakery will definitely be our go to spot next time we're in town. Remember to bring cash! They're cash only!

Every single thing in this store is dedicated to making your baked goods, candy/cupcakes/brownies/cookies, the best they can be. They sell icing, a huge selection of candies to top your cupcake, curd and other food items. What I find more exciting than ingredients, is all their fabulous packaging. If you are constantly pinning DIY food gifts on Pinterest, your head is going to blow off in this place! Racks are backed with the most adorable cupcake papers, containers, birthday candles, gift boxes, bags and pans. You bake it, they have it AND it's 10 times cuter than what you already have at home! Even if you are not baking treats, stop in here and you are sure to find something. I walked out with sparkler candles, chocolate nibs and a trivet!

They also have a lot of party decorations and items of various themes. There is a kitchen baking area for classes and presentations. I've gone in to browse several times. The employees aren't particularly friendly (nor mean, just not inviting) and they usually seem busy putting out inventory or working on stuff behind the counter rather than approaching customers. That's my only complaint about the place.

Fabulous doughnuts and apple cider slush. Lots of good homemade jellies to buy. Very unique place.read more

Heading west on Highway 24 there's a big sign that says "Cider Donuts" shortly before you reach…read moreTopeka and the exit is immediately after the sign (I missed it several times). Well this time I watched and immediately put my blinker on and made the exit (it's hidden by trees right as you come around the corner). It's a medium smaller sized store with some produce and cider and cider donuts! The donuts are by the cash register in brown paper bags and sold by half dozen bags for just under $5 with tax. They are really good! I'm used to the ones in Louisburg south of Overland Park, but these are softer and more fluffy cake cider donuts covered in more cinnamon and sugar. They are worth the stop! I saw they have cider ice cream too, but didn't try it.

Also, why would competing markets have the same hours/days? Granted, I am from a bigger southern city which has all the various markets on different hours/days. For instance, the 2 biggest ones: one on Saturday, one on Sunday. Various smaller ones in different neighborhoods during the week. This is also ideal for the vendors. Yes, I may be spoiled ... But as a market aficionado I am bummed to have zero reason to drive across town to visit two on the same day. Alas.

Three words most people would never use together in a sentence in their lifetime. DEEP FRIED GIZZARDS. Yes you read that right. From where I'm from, gas station convenience stores have those disgusting dried out so called hotdogs rotating for days on those roller thingies. This is not the case in Kansas. There you walk into a gas station convenience store and you'll find real food like freshly fried chicken, fries, BBQ and of course Deep Fried Chicken Gizzards. You can grab a bag of them for less than $4 dollars and munch away. Since, to the best of my knowledge I can't get this delightful snack in Western New York, I am inspired to break out the deep fryer and tale a shot at making them myself. I can hardly wait.
