    Their cakes can be very good, but look: they make so many nothing gets sold out very fast it seems, so beware stale cake slices!
    Mike W.

    The Station Bakery & Café was moved a couple years ago from their original location in High Springs' actual railway depot to a new building on US 441. Apparently there were issues with the rent the owner of the depot wanted so the folks behind the Station--and elderly couple and their daughter--bought this new property outright and moved. I understand their motives, but it's something of a shame because the old depot was great for this train-themed restaurant whereas their new quarters seem impersonal. I'm not sure what this building served as before, but some sort of retail store--maybe auto parts or such. Maybe a restaurant before, though in any case the owners have put a good effort into remodeling it to suit them but it just seems . . . generic. Certainly not as fun as the old depot. The sandwiches are pretty typical but decent portions and the owners are very nice people. The father was a candy-maker before he retired to Florida from New York he's said, and he still makes old-fashioned pralines and other candies for the Station and the pralines rock. They also have ice cream and home-made cakes--many, many, varieties of cakes. I've found the cakes overall to be overwrought--just too much buttercream icing, too sweet. And because they are huge cakes, they often sit there a while and you may get a piece that's a bit stale. I mean, they have normally five or more huge cakes--chocolate, carrot cake, lemon and who knows what else. There are like at least two other good bakeries in High Springs so I don't think the demand for all these cakes is constantly high and they don't tend to sell out the day they were made, if you get my drift. The key lime cookies, when they have them, are very good though and the lemon cake isn't bad when fresh. Once alas there was a pineapple cake which was an abomination, however. If you come for lunch, I'd suggest the Cuban sandwich, reuben, or BLT. I've never tried their ice cream and I don't know where they get it from. I hope they don't make it: they seem overworked for a retired couple as it is. I wish I could give more than three stars because these folks are so darn nice, but I think three reflects the food fairly (aside from the pralines which are five-stars for sure).

    The eclairs are amazing. Service is slow, but when you consider that the owners are working the front and back and they are a lil older, totally worth the wait. Roast beef melt was great. Will definitely be back.

    I eat here 3 or 4 times a year. The owners are really friendly and have been in High Springs a long time. The desserts are really good and they have ice cream. The sandwiches are very tasty, they use all fresh ingredients and high quality meats & veggies. They make everything from scratch and the meat is not pre-sliced. Come here if you have some time for lunch though. They are a little pricey and take their time.... I guess both are the price for fresh.

    I was searching for a place in our little country town that would allow us to get a vegan cake…read more And that wouldn't taste like sand (and hold together as such). Well, we sure did! My request was fairly last-minute (3 or 4 days). The overall experience from initial contact to even after-party experience was very, very good. Maggie even helped guide my lost aunt to her location to pick up the cake. We ordered a cake for my wife's birth. It was a Berry Chocolate Cake. Not having been there before, I was flying a little blind but this looked good. It was not inexpensive but she can't do this for free. And it was worth it. The cake was quite large and easily fed way over 8 despite saying for 8 (this is certainly not a complaint). Now the cake...it is a cake so is going to be sweet but it wasn't over-the-top killer sweet. It was DELICIOUS. There were several unsuspecting participants who had the cake not knowing it was vegan and all very positive comments about how good it was. Maggie the Magician created something fantastic. Deeee-lish! I don't generally review after only 1 experience but she was so great (service + product + presentation) that I felt it only right to do so. Kudos, Maggie. Well done.

    I have to say this is my best experience with a baker ever. I had an emergency situation where I…read moreneeded last minute treats for a baby shower, the day before the event. Maggie, the owner was extremely accommodating and kind. The gluten free donuts, gluten free cupcakes, and gluten free lemon lavender cookies were outstanding. The gluten free ginger molasses cookies were a massive hit at my event. The fact that all of her treats can be made vegan and gluten free, are an absolute win. They are better then any other treat you will find in town. Absolutely incredible service and product. I will be a regular customer.

I went mid-morning on a Saturday and it was a little busy, but we were still able to get seated pretty quickly. The place is a full-service restaurant, but they also have a counter where you can order muffins and other baked goods to go. Honestly, the muffins are the main reason I come here. We ordered the biscuits and gravy, which were really tasty, but the highlight was definitely the muffin. Our server suggested ordering one and having it grilled, which I had never tried before and it was so good. They slice it in half and cook it on the griddle so the outside gets caramelized and slightly crispy while the inside stays soft. It completely elevates the muffin and makes it feel more like a dessert than breakfast. Overall it's a great casual breakfast spot, and if you go, definitely get a muffin and have them grill it.
