Walked in the door to a friendly hello. All the baked goods looked delicious! The gluten free English muffin sandwich was incredible. The people in my party had biscuit sandwiches and thoroughly enjoyed them. Highly recommend!!! read more

Extremely extra tasty goodness lives within these old walls of a former school house. Quick exit of I-64 will not let you down, get cookies, get scones, get muffins, get pie, get a sandwich and enjoy so much more. Staff is top notch in helping and offering up A+ eats every visit we try something different and if weather permits there is seating outside. Love finding a great bakery read more

The Midway Bakery - Big peanut butter cookie - Bakeries Near Me - Midway, Kentucky

My beautiful and genius wife showed me this bakery, and WOW what a delight. As always, my wife was correct. This place is fantastic. The service was great, super friendly. Served everything up within a smile. Loved to be able to watch them in action kneading that dough. I got the grilled ham and pimento cheese sandwich on rye. The bread was out of this world. Great chew and crunch. Buttery. Fantastic ham and pimento cheese. We also go the ham and cheese scone and wooooooah nelly. They grill it up for you in butter so it's nice and toasty. Just next level. We also had the cinnamon roll which was probably the best I've ever had (Drake voice). Cream cheese icing was perfectly not too sweet. When my wife told the employees that last time we were in town they were closed due to being short staffed, the kind workers expressed how bummed they were we had to wait so long. Then they gave us two free mini biscuits with apple butter. Wow. Top level service and the apple butter was great. The vibes were great. Parking was plentiful. Do have to go down stairs. Will be back ASAP. read more

We learned that Midway Bakery made the desserts for Wallace Station so we decided to go straight to the source for dessert. Nestled right outside the darling town of Midway Kentucky Midway Bakery appears to located in an old school. The building houses both apartments and the bakery. Walking inside the bakery doors your senses are awaken by the wonderful smell of fresh baked goods. We had the cinnamon roll ( make sure to have them warm it up) oh my dripping in buttery goodness. Our second pick was the Wolford cookie, it looked like a chocolate type cookie but there was a surprise, not chocolate but a delightful spice. My husband said it reminded him of Christmas. The entire bakery is in sight of the counter and is immaculately clean. It is worth a stop. read more

Absolutely fantastic little bakery. That Bourbon Chocolate Pecan Pie is excellent. We visited here for the first time on a road trip through Lexington last year and just had to stop by again since we were driving through the area again. This time, we stopped in at around 2PM to pick one up but they were all sold out. The cashier actually called one of the restaurants that the bakery supplies (Wallace Station down the street) and managed to reserve a pie there for us! Unfortunately they didn't have an entire pie ready; instead they had to bundle together 6 pie slices into a container. I can't complain though, they really went out of the way for us. What stellar service. Bourbon Chocolate Pecan Pie - An absolutely perfect pairing of a slight bourbon flavor with the rich sweetness of chocolate and sugar syrup. The pecans are crumbled into smaller pieces than a typical pecan pie and are well distributed in the pie. Unlike a traditional pecan pie, there are so many pecans that they did not all rise to the top. The Midway Bakery is definitely worth a stop! read more

On our way out of Midway, I @suggested we stop at Midway Bakery. My friends had never been, and I thought they'd enjoy a little shopping for sweets. Ah, the aroma of baked goods! I bought one of my favorites, a lemon bar, and a loaf of wheat bread. My friends were quite happy with the stop and their purchases which, I have no doubt, they will enjoy. I love introducing friends to places they've never been, especially my own favorites. 50 read more

Amazing food even better service. Tell them what you're looking for and if it's in their recipe list they will bend over backwards. Don't expect every bakery item from them given limited equipment in a VERY old/small repurposed schoolhouse cafeteria. The cakes are worth the money, and the scones are the best outside of England! AND THE BREAD!!! WHITE, WHEAT, RYE, & SOURDOUGH!!! They use local ingredients to give an uber fresh bread that last on the shelf AND freezes super well! read more

Loved the open kitchen and all the homemade options. English muffin breakfast sandwich with sausage was delicious. My husband got the Bluegrass Bagel and it didn't disappoint Very friendly staff read more

Absolutely worth the hour and change drive from home to reach this destination bakery! The bourbon chocolate pecan pie is just right sweet and full of tasty pecan bits and a hint of the nectar that is Kentucky bourbon. The loaf of rye bread made amazing toast for breakfast and the assortment of cookies were always yummy. By far my favorite was the country ham and cheese scone - warmed up with a drizzle of fresh butter and I'm drooling just thinking about my next one! The service was great and the young lady who packed up our half of pie generously added an extra slice when one of the slices was broken in cutting it up to fit in the container. The ambiance of this place was comfortable and full of the delectable smells of a great bakery - we'll be back for sure! read more

Midway School Bakery is one of the jewels in the culinary crown of Ouita Michel. It provides many of the scrumptious goodies people cobble up at her restaurants like Wallace Station, Windy Corner, and Smithtown Seafood. Tucked in a back corner of this old, school building, Midway Bakery has a nonsense interior dominated by a kitchen. Small tables around the perimeter give you a place to enjoy your treats. It's hard to choose between the gargantuan brownie, cookies as big as your head, and amazing scones. You can opt for a savory pick and enjoy a house-made bagel with smoked lox! I went for the Betty Anne scone ($2.95) with craisins, dried apricots, and white chocolate chips. My mom decided on the rich, dark chocolate brownie ($3.95). We took bagels home ($1) and had a fantastic breakfast the next morning. My suggestion, if you're reading at Wallace Station like we were, drive a few miles down the road and pick up a freshly baked dessert! The line will be shorter and the selection will opportunely be better than at the restaurant. read more

The Midway Bakery - What's left of a delicious, Betty Ann scone. So tender and filled with white chocolate chips, dried cranberries and apricots. - Bakeries Near Me - Midway, Kentucky

My wife and I planned a little winter road drive on Old Frankfort pike and noticed this place when making plans. So happy we stopped in for some breakfast treats to enjoy before a day doing distillery tours. I highly recommend the cinnamon scones, the cinnamon mixture was fabulous. It was the perfect cinnamon to dough mixture. Best yet the scone was still a little warm which made the experience even better. My wife got a peanut butter rice crispy treat that was scooped like ice cream unlike the traditional squares. It was crispy, peanut buttery, and drizzled with chocolate ganache. Totally worth every bite. My only regret was not buying one of everything. read more

Amazing cookies! Chewy with a great crunch exterior and inventive flavors like corn and oats with chocolate chip cranberry and sorghum.

The School is part of the Ouita Michel's restaurants/businesses, located within the old Midway School. People are helpful and friendly, willing to take special orders in advance. They use local when possible and take great care when baking, and it shows in the taste! Their selection is not massive, what they prepared yesterday or baked this morning is what they have. I would recommend their variety of scones and the Buttermilk Bourbon Chess pie. Give it a try if you're in the neighborhood. read more

My family and I visited this bakery while road tripping through Kentucky and found it, and the picturesque town of Midway, quite charming. We tried the breakfast sandwiches (best with an English muffin), the ham cheese and chive scone (to die for) and the blueberry muffins (some of the best we've ever had). The service was excellent and eating on the back patio made it a really pleasant stop. read more

This is a gem of a place! Discovered it when we were doing a bourbon trail as it was right next door to the house we rented. Amazing bakery in a "converted" school cafeteria kitchen. So friendly and fresh. It's a must visit!! read more

After having a great lunch we wanted to find someplace to get something sweet. Midway Bakery hit the spot and had all the sweet that you could ask for. The had everything from cookies to pie to cupcakes and so much more. The most unique thing was the corn Cobb cookie and by its name it did taste like corn. It wasn't to sweet it wasn't to vegetable tasting but it reminded me of a cornbread sugar cookie with just the right amount of sugar. The building is part of the old high school in midway and they use the old cafeteria as the bake shop. This is a nice little piece of history that you can approximate while eating something sweet. They do serve a small menu for breakfast that I included but did not try any. read more

Midway Bakery is the supplier of many of the desserts served at Ouita Michel's restaurants. They also happen to be on my way to work in Midway, so I'm a frequent visitor. They make THE BEST cream cheese & lox bagel I have ever had (Holly Hill Inn cures the lox), and their country ham and cheese scone is flat out delicious. I originally stated that their donuts were subpar, but I'm going to retract that because they have changed their donut recipe and the new version is everything a yeast donut should be...and more. This is a very small bakery and they don't have a very wide selection. You won't find chocolate eclairs, cakes, or croissants. They make a variety of cookies and pies, but I will admit that I find a lot of their products to be on the dry side. I enjoy their breakfast sandwiches (very small, on biscuits) but their quiche, though very good, loses something when reheated in the microwave, which is how it is served. I also like their iced shortbread cookies, but they only have them on very special occasions. The staff at Midway Bakery are awesome...some of the nicest people you will ever meet. They made cranberry shortbread cookies during the holidays that were so delicious I kept buying them out! If you go, try the bagel (handmade) with chive cream cheese and lox...or the bagel with pesto, tomato and fresh mozzarella cheese. And mention the cranberry shortbread...maybe we can get them to bring them back! read more

I had one of the best scones in my life there. The cinnamon roll was also spectacular. Service is friendly and you can see the whole bakery in operation. Situated just outside the door of the midway in beautiful Kentucky horse country. Would be five stars but for the coffee. read more

What a great region...lots to do, lots to see, lots to eat. Just down the road from Wallace Station in Versailles, is the Midwest School Bakery- yes, you can buy their baked goods at Wallace Station, but it is sure fun to stop into the bakery. Yes, as mentioned, this is in a former school house, and seems a little out of the ordinary, especially for a city person like myself. I would say, if you are in the area, go to this place. We bought a bunch of different cookies and a couple of cupcakes. Didn't need any of it, glad we stopped ...Great variety and nice people running the bakery. read more

My wife and I found this place about a month ago and we've been twice. Once for lunch and once for breakfast. Food & service were great. It's about 45 minutes from where we live but we are returning tomorrow. It's worth the drive. read more

THEY ARE CLOSED AND YELP NOT UPDATED. Drove all the way here for nothing. It's not hard to update you closed.

I loved this place! I've driven by numerous times and never had stopped. Now that I know what this place has, this will forever be my Midway pit stop. Keep in mind that it's an former elementary school cafeteria, now being occupied by culinary geniuses. It was pretty cool to see the bakers in their element. I've been to hair schools and the stylists are all students. That didn't seem to be the case here,at least when I was here. We chatted a bit with the head baker, or whatever she's officially called. I recognized her from the random newspaper clippings posted around the place. Now, onto the goods. DESSERTS with two esses, because two desserts are better than one. Ok, that was a bit corny, I just randomly made that up. I got a peanut butter cookie... huge! I'm happy to report that I only had one though. My husband had a cinnamon roll. It had cream cheese icing an inch high. Oh my! I only had a bite, I'm proud that I contained myself. I'm almost sure that he wouldn't have parted with another bite anyways. Random observations to note: They have a separate gluten free area and Ale81. read more

My friends and I stopped at Midway School Bakery while on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail. It's definitely a must stop if you're in the area or on the bourbon trail. The building, itself, is located in an old school house, and is very reminiscent of the 60s. The bakery makes quite a few things: pies, scones, cookies, bon bons, bagels, and more. There's even a small selection of gluten-free products. I purchased one of their bourbon chocolate bon bons and the "Betty Ann" scone. The bon bon was soooooo amazingly rich and delicious. I think the scone, however, was my favorite. It was extremely tasty. All of their baked goods were reasonably priced too. read more

Sensational, freshly made sandwiches for lunch in a warm friendly atmosphere. We can't wait to come back!

Anything that Ouita Michel does, I'm going to follow. My husband and I stopped by for breakfast sandwiches and cookies (because cookies in the morning make sense) -- and are so happy we did. He had lox on a bagel, I had sausage, tomato, cream cheese on a plain bagel. The bagel was super chewy and good -- and I don't know where they are getting the sausage but it genuinely was the best I'd ever had. We shared a corn cookie and a ginger. The ginger was the real winner here, whereas the corn was very hard. I brought my friend their cinnamon roll and she said it was the best she'd ever had (mounds of frosting. mmmmmm) There are about 15 other things I want to try here, so we will definitely come back. Definitely in a hard to miss spot and also: yelp and google says this is closed on sunday. It's not! read more

Delicious!!!!!!!! Cinnamon roll was AMAZING!!!! We stopped here on the way back from Frankfort. Our daughter picked the coconut chocolate chip scone and my husband the bourbon chocolate pecan pie!! All were fantastic but our #1 vote was for the cinnamon roll!! read more

My boyfriend and I wanted to check this place out so we drove from Richmond to Midway and we're not disappointed! Ending up try a few more things than we intended! If you're in the area (or not!) this place is definitely worth checking out. The cinnamon rolls themselves are worth the trip read more

Very good bakery, and open early. Pick up a whole box of something, as everyone will want seconds.

Stopped here driving through Kentucky and grabbed some cinnamon rolls and blueberry muffins. They were excellent! It's located in the cafeteria of an old school in a small rural town. Reminds me of my childhood. Definitely worth a stop if your driving though. read more

Huge disappointment. First of all prices are too high. $2.95 for a muffin or cupcake? I ordered a blueberry muffin which was clearly inferior to the same product at Panera or Krogers. I also ordered the cupcake of the day, chocolate with cream cheese frosting. No idea how good that might have been as the clerk packed the wrong cupcake. My first visit there will be my last. read more

What a wonderful, delicious bakery! This was our first visit, and we will return! My husband and I selected 3 scrumptious pastries - a gigantic cinnamon roll with gobs of icing, a slice of peanut butter mousse pie, and, my favorite, a slice of sour cream apple pie with a brown sugar topping. Staff were friendly and service was quick. Do yourself a favor and check out this establishment; you will not be disappointed! read more
