The Most Delicious Bakery Is Hiding Inside This Unassuming Nebraska Mercantile

There's something incredibly charming about any business with "Mercantile" in its name, and Central Mercantile in Kearney is no exception. The kitchen supply shop is located in a business district like no other, and it works to support other local businesses. But that's not all you'll love about it.

Located in Kearney’s Downtown on the Bricks area, Central Mercantile is a fun, locally-owned store that carries kitchenware, home goods, and a few other bits and bobs.

Inside, you’ll find everything you need for an organized and productive kitchen.

Whether you need baking pans, dishes, spices, or some cute containers to keep everything in, this independent shop probably has it.

But in case you're not a "baking at home" type of person, there’s another special surprise awaiting you at Central Mercantile - Ktown Cakery!

This beloved Kearney bakery has been voted the best in the city, and we couldn’t agree more. These treats are not only fresh and delicious…

…They’re also insanely gorgeous and creative. Check out these taco cookies - they’re beyond adorable.

There’s something here for every sweet tooth. Grab an assortment of delicacies to enjoy in the seating area or take some treats to work and be the office hero.

With advance notice, the bakery can do large orders for your next event (or when you just really, really want several dozen cookies in your house - we won't judge).

But with the work "cake" in its name, you know Ktown Cakery also makes cakes...

...And they're some of the most beautiful cakes we've ever seen. The time and skill that go into making these sweet masterpieces makes them all the more delicious.

The cinnamon rolls are life-changing. Ok, maybe that's a slight exaggeration, but once you taste these fresh rolls, you'll never want to go back to those abominations that come in a tube from the grocery store.

And while you're here, pick up a delicious fish dinner for the family. Just kidding - THAT'S CAKE. Can you believe it?

Treat your sweet tooth to the delicious yum-yums it deserves - and you can even invite your friends to chat over rolls and coffee.

Excuse us while we go eat some sweets now. If you want to enjoy some of these tasty morsels or shop at the Mercantile, check out their Facebook page or the Ktown Cakery website. Bon appetit, fellow baked-goods enthusiasts!
