    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.

    Cinnamon rolls

    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!!

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

The building can get crowded and harder to navigate on busy mornings. [TLDR] I'm not super into bagels so when my friends suggested that we go to Native Bagel, I wasn't sure if I'd be a fan. But their bagels are soooooo much better than anything you can get at the store. I mostly get their seasonal cream cheeses like the strawberry and pumpkin. I wish they had more cream cheese options. It does seem like they've been experimenting with different flavors and menu items recently. I like their coffee more than any other coffee shop in the area. I prefer my coffee on the sweeter side. I get the iced raspberry (or blackberry) white mocha. It's perfect! I like that I can order online. When you place an online order, they will set your order at the end of the bar near the door when it is done. The staff members are pretty nice. If you order at the counter, they will bring your food out to you. You have to throw away your trash when you are finished. The aesthetic is so pretty. I love the vibes. There are two single stall gender neutral restrooms located to the left of the order counter. They are decent size restrooms. My one gripe is about the size of the venue. It's small and a little crammed, especially since they put in the bar. At times, the place is hard to navigate as an able bodied person, so I'd imagine a disabled person with mobility issues or even someone with a stroller would have a harder time. There is a ramp to get into the main entrance of the building, however, the door is not automatic. I figure there's not much they can really do to solve the issue unless they expanded the building which I understand isn't quite feasible. I only bring this up because I love Native Bagel and I feel like it kinda does impair the experience a little bit. A person with a mobility aid would probably have as easier time navigating Just Love Coffee Cafe down the street than Native Bagel. If you go on Saturday morning it is often crowded! Be prepared to wait in line, and know that there may not be a free table to sit inside. I know this because my friend group and I went every week when we were enrolled at Berea College. There are a few tables outside by the parking lot. Also keep in mind that toward the end of the day they can start to run out of bagels. In the evening, they use the same venue for Nightjar, a bar and dine in restaurant.

The bagel was good&so was the cream cheese spread. As well as the cold brew. There's plenty of seating inside and the tables that weren't occupied were clean. Seating is available outside as well you'll find a couple of tables which is where we decided to sit.
