    The best apple pie we have ever had. All our campers loved it. Next year I'll have to get two to…read moresave us from the rock, paper, scissors contest on the last piece.

    We have been coming to Concan for about 12 years. We have seen the Concan Pies sign on the fence…read moreand talked about it frequently. This year we finally decided to try a pie from them. I knew it was a "first come first serve" type situation so I called to get their hours. They do not have a website (only Facebook). I got a very informative recording about how to order pies and their hours, etc. So, I called back at 11:00 to order pies for my group. The old man who answered the phone was hard of hearing and slightly rude. I think maybe he thought he being funny but he never understood what I was asking him. I asked about the process for ordering pies. He said "you tell me what you want and I give it to you". So I got more specific and asked how far in advance I needed to place an order to pick up pies. He laughed and said "well I guess no more than two years". So I gave up, we drove up there. I got an apple pie and a peach cobbler. The prices are about double what is reasonable for a fresh homemade pie, and about three times what you would pay in a regular bakery. My two items were $46.00. The peach cobbler was very good. The apple pie had a solid layer of cinnamon on the bottom and none of my group liked that much cinnamon. The young guy working the counter when we arrived was super friendly, but the crusty old guy answering the phone needs to hand that job over to someone else. You need to be able to nicely explain your process to tourists (without being a smartass) when you choose to operate in a vacation destination.

    This shop is cute, definitely has the small town feels. The lady at the counter was sweet and…read morehelpful. The desserts look amazing but unfortunately looked a bit better than they tasted. I feel as though the treats could've used more time into the flavor and texture than the aesthetics. I'd rather have a better tasting croissant than one with gold sprinkled on it, just not necessary. It also doesn't justify charging $46 for 6 little treats that are not fresh. Outrageous especially when your competitors charge more than half that price for a dozen treats and they taste better. It also wouldn't be so upsetting if prices were posted anywhere in the shop so I should know to taste one first to see if it was worth it. Overall I'd say drive down the street to the next bakery. Unless you like spending a lot on something average. Overall this place does have potential and I'd like to see it improve for a possible future visit. The best thing I tried was the cookie and that's the easiest thing to make.

    Tiny little bakery. Reminded me of the bakery that used to be down from my Grandparents back in…read morethe 70's. It's a quaint little happy place, that smells amazing. The young lady running it was such a kind, sweet & patient woman, helpful & willing to answer all my questions about the pastries & goodies. They had baked goodies with fruit, custard, crumble topping, & even edible gold if you're feeling extra special the day you're getting your treats. (I'll be feeling extra next trip for sure. ) Today, apparently, my taste buds were craving all things flaky & crusty. So, I ended up with four different types of croissant style treats. Which is no shock, I do love croissants. The apple pecan just called my name, it smells like a freshly baked apple pie from your Mom's house. So for this Pi Day, this was my choice! Next I snapped up the almond croissant, cinnamon sugar croissant & lastly savory one to try out - their ham & cheese croissant. I have to admit - these put the ones I used to get back home in Wöllstein to shame. These are phenomenal. Their croissant dough is laminated with perfection. I plan on coming back until I try everything. I do have a favorite bakery in San Antonio, and I like one in Castroville, but it's an old fashioned one. I can tell you Baked is absolutely worth stopping by, take note of their hours Thursday - Sunday, worth remembering. When you're in the area get you some amazing baked goods at Baked. You will be glad you did. Worth it!
