Taste The Good Life At This Down-Home Bakery In Nebraska

There are few things in life more wholesome and pleasant than freshly baked bread. Take a virtual step inside this Hastings bakery and enjoy a feast for the eyes: breads, cakes, pies, rolls, and sweets of all kinds.

Backalley Bakery is a locally owned bakery offering fresh artisan breads and tons of other handmade baked goods daily.

Everything is made with fresh ingredients and sourced locally whenever possible. Most of the grains used there are ground right in the back of the bakery - that's just about as fresh as you can get!

The delicious aroma of baked goods fills your nose the moment you open the door. If your stomach isn't rumbling by the time you get to the counter, you might want to check your sense of smell.

The goods in the bakery case are as much a feast for the eyes as they are for the nose and belly. Every loaf of bread and other treat is carefully and lovingly crafted by dedicated bakers.

Drop in to pick up a breakfast treat to share... or just keep it all to yourself. (It's ok, we won't tell.)

You'll find lots of classic and creative goodies to choose from. These folks love to try out new recipes, which means that you get to try new and interesting things every time you visit.

Are you in the mood for cake? Pie? How about a cupcake, flaky kolache, or savory stuffed croissant? These are the types of delights you're likely to spot behind the glass when you visit.

As great as it is to just grab some treats and go, you'll want to make time to sit down for a meal sometime.

Old favorites like grilled cheese with tomato soup will fill your belly with comfort and warmth.

Lunch is always delicious, no matter what you order. The menu is small but full of exceptional eats, including sandwiches, salads, and soups.

Come by on Thursday night for the incredible wood-fired pizza. It's become something of a legend around here, and you'll want to order ahead to be sure you get one.

Dinner is served on Friday nights, and the special is different every week. Some weeks are traditional American dishes and others are full of terrific ethnic dishes. Past specials have included Indian, Thai, and Italian meals.

Besides the delectable baked goods and meals, you'll also find goods from other Nebraska businesses on offer. Jams, jellies, and salsas from Garcia Farms are wonderful complements to Backalley Bakery's freshly baked foods.

The bakery also carries Queen City Honey, Sweet Minou Chocolates, and Pacha Soaps, all of which are produced right here in Nebraska.

Whether you're here for a meal with friends or a quick treat on your way to work, Backalley Bakery should be your go-to stop.
