    Seems like my main complaint is very similar to others....the cookies are good. But I brought my…read moretoddler here a few weeks ago and there was no one else in the store. It was mid afternoon and from what I could see one employee working. She was in the back when we walked in, and she didn't acknowledge us or anything. It was several minutes until she walked up to the register and stood there. Again, didn't acknowledge us or even look at us, I wasn't sure if she was ready to take our order or not, but I went up and ordered. She didn't say anything. Seemed to be completely annoyed that we were even there (we only ordered 2 cookies). She walked off to bag our order before I paid then handed me the cookies and walked to the back. I'm sure people have off days or maybe have some things going on, but at least acknowledging your customers and saying "hi"and/or "thank you" would be better for your business.

    Got a craving for a cookie. Insomnia Cookies, although a chain, has some outstanding, fresh, warm,…read moreand simple cookies. Some places nowadays think that you need to put 14 items on top of a cookie or make it something it's not. It's a cookie. It's not an assembly line. Insomnia hits the classics like snickerdoodle and chocolate chip. And they do it well. My personal fav is the mint chocolate chip. It is a chocolate based dough with a goodly amount of chip and mint. A warm and refreshing cookie for that afternoon work day break. Want to spice it up? Make it an ice cream sandwich with their decent selection of hand dipped ice cream. And get some cookies to take home. While they're a little pricey, no one will complain.

    I don't want to be hyperbolic, but Concannon's makes the best donuts that I've eaten, ever, in my…read moreentire life. Ever. One hundred percent. Nay, one thousand percent. You guys. I don't play with donuts. I'm a donut-eating fool. Donuts are my thing. I have glaze running through my bloodstream. I've never eaten better donuts than the ones I got from Concannon's in Muncie. In fact, I'm planning another trip to Muncie JUST to visit Concannon's and get some donuts. What's a two-hour round-trip drive when you can be rewarded with amazing donuts during your journey? I visited Concannon's by myself, and although I wanted one of each of the donuts they had in the bakery case, I limited myself to three donuts: a glazed pretzel-shaped yeasted donut, a blueberry cake donut and an old fashioned donut. My go-to at any donut shop is usually a glazed twist, but they don't have glazed twists here! Instead, they have a glazed pretzel-shaped donut, which turned out to have all of the elements of a glazed twist, but it was just bigger and more twisty. It was amazing, pillowy, slightly sweet and even more delicious when you pull it apart with your fingers and eat it bit by bit. The blueberry cake and old-fashioned donuts were my favorites, though. These melted in my mouth, especially the old-fashioned. It was so tender and fresh. The old-fashioned is one of those kinds of donuts that I wish I enjoyed with some coffee, but instead, I ate it solo while dancing around delightedly in my hotel room. Concannon's has lots of other sweets, desserts and baked goods, like cakes (including mini cakes and individual cake slices), cookies, whoopie pies, chocolates, popcorn, candies and all sorts of other goodies. There is also a cafe with coffee and other beverages available. This is a must-visit if, like me, you love donuts, but also a must-visit in general because it's such a Muncie institution.

    I have been in Muncie now for awhile. It amazes me that people eat this stuff. It's all the exact…read moresame stuff. It's not real pastry not even close. It's tons of bread w/ a little icing. Everything there is buttercream. They try to make you think it's different but it's not. You have to give them about 3 days for a whipped icing cake. Last time they were so rude I just walked out. I just don't know why people would want to waste calories on something so dang bad. And everything is always so dry. So I started making deserts so my friends here could see what a real dessert taste like. What a real donut is suppose to taste like. Now they have never ate there sense. If they took the time to make stuff fresh & quit cutting corners. They might save there company. Was so excited about there deli. Everything they just order in & it's all bad too. I would have ate there for lunch every day. It's not hard to use fresh ingredients. So I feel for people that think this is good. Step out & try somewhere in fishers or Indy or BroadRipple! Now you will have some epic pastry & you won't eat or waste this crap in your body. Gonna put sugar in your body make sure it's at least good! lol But if you don't care then my opinion does not matter. This is for people who do care. & need a little push! ‍
