    country ham, cheddar, chive scone
    Kyle B.

    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.

    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.

    Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie

    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!

    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

    What's left of a delicious, Betty Ann scone. So tender and filled with white chocolate chips, dried cranberries and apricots.

    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.

    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.

    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!!

    I was in the neighborhood and wanted to try the local delicacy - bourbon balls. This dessert place…read moreoffered them plus many more options. If you're looking for a dessert option, this is a great place. Highlights - lots of chocolate treats and fancy desserts. We tried the Oreo Raspberry Cake. It was super moist, decadent, and heavy. Great cake slice, we really enjoyed it. The annoying part was that I ordered bourbon balls and I instead got some sort of vanilla truffle. I'm not a local but I'm pretty sure I didn't get bourbon balls. Didn't taste anything like bourbon at all. I was very disappointed since that is what I initially came in for and we didn't realize the mistake until much further in the day. The cake slice saves the review from being any lower but paying $12 for something I didn't want is annoying and ruins the experience somewhat. That is why quality counts from beginning to end. I still recommend trying this place out but make sure you check what you order so that you get the right thing.

    I was at the Fayette mall yesterday and walked into Chocomania. I was really curious what all…read morekinds of desserts they offered. I saw a case and started looking. First, only a couple items in the case even had labels or prices, so I literally had to ask what an item was. The store associate seemed to get annoyed at telling me what the items in the case were but how do you expect me to know if you don't label your items? and i only even asked what 3-4 items were out of 15+ in the case. even though she told me what a couple of the items were, I have no idea how much they were. I asked the price on the viral fruit thing and she responded "they range from $10-$20". There were three choices of those and I guess it was too much trouble to say the price of each one I wanted to try one of the viral fruit moose things, but after the way the store associate acted I decided to pass. There were definitely some things that looked really good, but I'm not going to purchase if they're rolling their eyes at me and acting like I'm bothering them asking about the things they are selling. I'll give it another shot in the future. We'll see what happens Summary: 1. Make sure items in the case are labeled with a product name, short description, and price. 2. Train the people who represent your store what customer service is and how to really sell the product when someone's asking about it I didn't even get to try anything yet so this review is 100% based on customer service interaction and store display information. I know there has been dreams with this business in the past about low reviews - so I'm a real person and I've been elite on Yelp for 6 years. It isn't hard to find me if you want to for verification.

First, it's just so cute! As you approach, you can't help but notice the beautiful mural on the windows. Then you step inside of the most charming little bakery. There are tables for in-store dining and tasty treats everywhere. Cookies, pies, croissants, refrigerated salads and sweets, candied nuts and even Rice Krispie treats. These are just some of the items available. I've never been to a bakery with that many different offerings. Everything looked amazing and everyone in line lets us know that everything is delicious!!! Honestly I wanted a bit of everything, but I had to have some self control. In the end I walked away with muffins, bars, a Bundt cake, a cake pop and tiramisu (this was all shared with another person). Just like the other patrons said, I quickly learned that everything was in fact delicious! It was fresh and so, so good!!! The staff was very kind and I think that Rebecca herself came out and chatted with us briefly. This was my first visit, but definitely won't be my last. Absolutely worth the drive from Lexington.
