The Homemade Vanilla Wafers and Ginger snaps are simply the Best and are the reason we stopped in! I believe they have been making sweets since 1923!! Located downtown, easy access and parking, you should go! The ladies are very helpful and even give out samples if you like. Walk around the bakery and look at some of the old pictures and memorabilia. We bought several different sweets, but the blueberry cheesecake muffin took 1rst place!! Wow!!! We've found a new sopping place when we are in the area. When in Slaton, go to the Bakery. Go get Full read more

A great local business, a great community partner. Good food, great service. Here's to the next 100 years!

My sweet grandsons who go to Texas Tech brought me pecan pie and vanilla wafers from the Slaton Bakery. So thoughtful and very delicious. Such a great place ! read more

Holy Chocolate Creampuffs!!!! Man that was delicious. We've been here but it's been years. It hasn't changed. Great people, clean store and bathrooms, and WONDERFUL desserts. Yum!! I tried the chocolate cream puff and mom tried the sugar cookies. Both were great. I also took some red, white, and blue thumbprints and a coke cake. Btw, a sweet worker told me that these owners are the best employer ever and that Slaton Bakery gives back to its community in many ways. Neat! Thanks Slaton Bakery!! read more

Not a bad business, just not great. There is no drive thru, making it less convenient than other places. They only have one filled donut option. The prices are higher than average. And the novelty of using a "famous" business wears off real quick. Counter help is always courteous, and sometimes helpful. I would use Slaton Bakery again when people from out of town visit, for the tourist appeal. read more

"Worth the drive" is you need to know about this place. What an amazing little place! read more

The Slaton Bakery - Store front - Bakeries Near Me - Slaton, Texas

This is one of the hardest post I've ever made because I love the Slaton Bakery... First, the service is always amazing when I visit and seems they always have a great selection. My only and first ever issue was that I ordered quite a few items one being half a dozen of chocolate donuts, unfortunately, we founds spots of mold on the bottom of the donuts. I did return them and they apologized and gave me different items, but I had to make this post just for everyone to check your items and not just this location but anywhere you may eat. On another note, I'm also disappointed that not all donuts aren't made fresh daily. I purchased my items around 11:45 AM Saturday morning. read more

Such a nice little place and nice little town. The Slaton Bakery is right on the town square. We got sweets and sandwiches. The sandwiches were very nice and I got donuts for dessert. We sat outside as we had our pup with us when two people came up nicely and asked if our dog could have some treats... as we are keeping social distance, we declined and kinda thought... huh? Well, they went inside the bakery and they brought us a package of treats from inside... it was the owners! How incredibly nice!!! I feel a little bad as we were a tad stand off'ish. So, first thank you very much!!! That was really nice! We will probably stop there every time we drive from Austin to Colorado! Great stopping point, and if you go strait up from there you skip Lubbock. Thanks, Jim and Andrea read more

The Slaton Bakery - Layla thanks you! - Bakeries Near Me - Slaton, Texas

I have been going to the bakery since I was a very young child when it was on Division Street. My grandmother would stand on the front porch, give me money, and watch me go across the street to get fried pies for the family. There have been a few changes since then but they have been positive ones. The thumbprints are still the best! The sand tarts, pecan sandies and fried pies are still addictive. The sandwiches are fabulous. The staff, as always are helpful and attentive. Use their vanilla wafers in banana pudding, and you will never go back to whatever you used to use. My new personal favorite is the ginger snaps! The little eating area and little bakery museum are fun to explore and it's always nice and clean. If I could, I would give it more than 5 stars read more

Absolutely love their jelly johns!! I would love to try their sandwiches. The chocolate on chocolate thumbprints are delicious!!

Food, Service, & Ambiance - Yes! Yes! Yes! Everyone nice nice nice Chocolate Cinnamon Roll - the best I have ever bought!! You won't regret the extra few minutes to stop!! read more

Great baked goods and hometown friendly people. Clean and comfortable atmosphere. Thank you.

I was so lucky to happen upon this awesome old bakery in Slayton while I was passing through on a road trip. I bought homemade tortillas, a coke cake and some some donuts for breakfast. The breads looked amazing, but I had just bought square bread (yuck) at the grocery store and didn't want to be wasteful by throwing it out. From now on, my RV road trip rule will be no grocery store bread unless I am down to the last piece! Check it out if you are in Slayton, support those small local businesses! read more

Excellent service, great pastries, and incredible vanilla wafers. Also try the Apple fritters.

Excellent customer service and totally delicious bakery goods! Maple bars - could have eaten a dozen! Lemon meringue pie - baked fresh each morning! Sweet Potato Empanadas- so fall! Fresh daily tortillas Homemade bread We only scratched the surface of all the available delicious fare! Please move to Minnesota and open a new bakery!! PLEASE! read more

Such good pastries!!!!! Definitely worth it! Best stuff ever! It just melts in your mouth! Love this place, definitely coming back!

Great small business with a stellar reputation and amazing products! I have always heard about their cookies and they wowed me!

Best thumb prints and snicker-doodles around!! Can't beat and love that it's down the street from my house!

Cool bakery with a wide selection of baked goods and interesting knickknack. Definitely worth a visit.

Staff was friendly and efficient. Mask requirement is enforced politely. Pastries were delicious.

This bakery is pretty cool. It appears to also be the life of downtown Slaton. I guess it is well know in Lubbock and it was recommended by a friend living there that I stop through on my way to Post for the "Post Day" event every first Saturday. Has a good variety of cookies, pastries, cakes and pies as well as lots of other collectible gifts and things. Staff was friendly and service was good. I noticed a few flies buzzing around but 'tis the season if you know what I mean. read more

If you are looking for something quick for breakfast or even an afternoon a snack go the Slaton Bakery.

Love it! Great donuts and also great cakes! I have ordered a lot of birthday cakes from here and never disappointed! Also have fresh tortillas. read more

Staff and owners are rude. Dont take special health conditions into consideration where masks are concerned. Baked goods are mediocre at best, service is poor as orders requiring more than one item are generally not filled correctly, sandwiches are cafeteria quality nothing special, the coffee is awful. Really not worth all the hype it gets. At one point it may have been good. But over the generations its lost a lot. Really there are better places but try it for yourself if you wish. Coming from a retired executive chef and food critic. I wont go there again and I live right down the street. Id rather drive 22 miles for what i need. read more

I'm not one to write a review but I felt the need to this time. The bread was yummy but the cookies were just ok but the women working were so rude. I will not be back. read more

Excellent service. Outstanding pastries, cookies, cakes, loaves of bread and just about anything else you want in a bakery. It's a destination. read more

I absolutely love the Slaton Bakery and drive well out of my way to get some sugary goodness. Regardless of your preference for baked goods, I'm willing to bet that they have something you will enjoy. The only draw back is that you have to have a $5 minimum to pay with card... which just means I get to buy more cookies! What are the best cookies you ask? Ojarascas probably win out, the cinnamon and sugar melts in your mouth and you just want to keep throwing them back. My other favorites are called 'Mexicans' and are basically a food colored crisp sugar cookie. I usually pick a few cookies I've never seen before to try out and have not yet been unhappy. In short, they are absolutely worth a visit! read more

This is a lovely bakery with a long history. I love to stop in when I visit Slaton. Wish they offered somethibg GF hut that's okay...I pick up dog biscuits to treat my dog friends at home! Stop in a visit them. Buy cooookies!!! read more

The Slaton Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Slaton, Texas

I like this bakery OK. The food is good. However it is quite a bit out of my way from Lubbock, and you have to have a $10 minimum to charge. I bought cookies and fresh bread. The bread is very tasty, and the cookies were fairly good. I'm not sure I will drive out of my way to get any food here though... The odd thing about this place is that the parking is on a street, but the street is not marked with any signs that point out that it is ONE WAY. In addition, it is a street that looks just like a parking lot because it runs parallel to the larger street. So I drove up it the wrong way. Luckily I didn't run into any small town cops. read more

Even at the end of the day, the bakery items taste fresh and delicious. We had vanilla wafers, a bear claw and thumb prints. Great treat and a break in our trip. read more

Cool little stop with good canned jams and pickles. Wasn't too impressed with the sweets or the staff (a little snooty)
