I jumped on my trusty Yelp app and looked up bakeries and found Poppy's Bakery in Frankfort. I've been to Frankfort numerous times; but, had never taken a drive down that road. I am so glad I tried Poppy's out. From the moment I got out of my car I could smell the fresh baked goodies. One word.....heavenly. The lady working was so patient with me after I told her this was my first visit. Everything looked so delicious. I chose an assortment or cinnamon rolls, raspberry filled donuts, cheese danish and cherry cream Cheese danish. When I say this was the best danish Ive ever had I mean it! The danishes almost had a brûléed texture. One bite into that initial crunch then sweet, pillowy dough. My heavens...I'll be going there plenty. They had a wide variety of baked yummies that I'm sure would get a thumbs up from even the toughest critic. Thanks Yelp for the recommendation. I honestly would've never drove that way otherwise. Try it out y'all.

Wallace Station is absolutely worth the stop. I had the country ham sandwich and the bean soup, and…read moreboth were excellent. The sandwich was packed with flavor, and the bean soup was hearty, homemade, and the perfect pairing. The atmosphere is laid back and full of Kentucky charm, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. If you're passing through Midway or looking for a great local lunch spot, I highly recommend checking this place out. I'll definitely be back!

Chili came with sour cream, scallions and cheese on top. The hot brown sandwich was good - a good amount of meat inside and the cheese was melted and very tasty. We sat out on the back deck as it was very warm and humid inside. Overall this was a very good place - liked the Americana vibes and simplicity.

The ambiance is very inviting and spacious, and the service was very quick and accomadating. I ordered the Reuben sandwich with the tomato basil soup, and both were fresh, flavorful, and delicious. The Reuben was piled high with meat. I had enough left over for another meal! I couldn't leave without trying the red velvet crinkle cookie, and I'm so glad I did. I saved it to share with my husband when I got home, and it was incredible. I found out the owner's daughter, a Culinary Institute graduate, made it, and you can definitely taste the quality. Everything was fresh, homemade, and absolutely worth the visit. I'll definitely be back!

The establishment is in the downtown part of Lawrenceburg. There's on the street parking that's free ( no parking meters.) The bakery/delicatessen is immaculate as far as cleanliness. There is ample seating in a comfortable atmosphere. The offerings are soup and sandwiches, salads and desserts. The staff was extremely friendly and outgoing. The clientele today was several groups celebrating Christmas. I had a spicy Italian hoagie sandwich that was wonderful. My friend had a panini that he said was enjoyable. It's a great place if you're in Central Kentucky.

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.

Had a good frosting ratio and had fun flavors like pistachio and oatmeal cream cookie. They seem to have weekly rotating flavors maybe even daily. We got the oatmeal cream cookie and it was crazy yummy I was very impressed with the cookies. They were a good size. The price point was nice. You don't get gouged for a cookie here. I bought the Nutella, which seems to be a chocolate hazelnut cookie with Nutella filled in the middle. Wow wow it was delicious. I also got pistachio cookies and those were amazing. That's so good that I went back and bought six to bring home. The guy that help me select cookies was very helpful in describing which flavors he thought I would like, and he was spot on. Thank you whom ever you were. Very helpful! As far as ambience has a spooky theme, which is fun. I liked the bakery. I would definitely come back. I would definitely recommend it.
