22 Best Bakeries near Shawnee

“I stopped by Kolache Factory through Too Good To Go, so my experience wasn’t really the traditional “walk in and order” kind of visit. They were getting close to closing, but the staff was kind, the shop was clean, and they were totally cool with letting me hang out and eat even though they were winding things down. That goes a long way with me.

I ended up with a little bit of everything: bacon, egg & cheese, Ranchero, pepperoni pizza, chicken Florentine, cream cheese, and a cinnamon roll.

The chicken Florentine was my favorite. It tasted like the best kind of spinach dip—the kind that shows up at a party and suddenly you’re hovering over the bowl with a piece of bread in your hand, quietly hoping nobody else notices how much you’ve eaten. Creamy, savory, cheesy, with that spinach flavor coming through. It’s the kind of thing I’d happily keep to myself.

The pepperoni was LOADED. Super greasy, cheesy, messy in exactly the right way. I loved it.

The Ranchero had a good amount of spice without taking over, and the bacon, egg & cheese was exactly what it should be: a classic, familiar breakfast combination that just works.

And the pastries were spot on. The cinnamon roll reminded me of Cinnabon, which I mean as a compliment. Soft, sweet, gooey, and completely capable of making me forget I was supposed to be eating breakfast.

The whole place actually gave me airport terminal vibes. You know when you get to the airport ridiculously early, find your gate, and immediately decide, “Yep, this is where I live for the next hour and a half”? That was me. I found a spot, sat down, and settled in.

There’s a pretty big selection, too, with coffee drinks like lattes, cappuccinos, iced coffee and cold brew available to go with everything.

That’s probably what I like most about Kolache Factory: there’s a little something for everyone. Sweet, savory, breakfast, coffee. You can walk in with a group of people who all want something completely different and everyone can find something.

When I have guests in town, this feels like an easy morning stop that can please the whole crowd without making breakfast complicated.“

“I LOVE this place! The cookies are not only delicious, but each one looks like a work of art. Staff is super-friendly, too. I accidentally placed a duplicate order online, and they were able to refund me right over the phone. I didn't have to come in and sort it all out. Wonderful!“

“I normally make reviews in the Crumbl app (extra points!) but it wouldn't submit this time, I think because of my mistake, so I'm posting this here. I intended to order from this store but ordered from one at Johnson Drive & Metcalf by mistake. When I arrived the staff were friendly and solicitous, and apparently the stores are owned in common. They arranged for me to get my order right away where I was. Much appreciated!“

“Staff is 10/10. Fantastic.“

“amazing coffee and their pastry selection is second to none!!“

“Nothing Bundt Cakes delivered a full-size red velvet bundt cake with cream cheese frosting to our office as part of a promotion, and WOW—this was hands down the best bundt cake I’ve ever tasted! The cake was incredibly moist, perfectly sweet, and had the most delightful surprise—chocolate chips baked into the batter. Every bite was rich, velvety, and packed with flavor. Our entire office was blown away! If you haven’t tried their cakes yet, you are seriously missing out. Highly recommend!“

“Amazing caramel latte and avocado toast with a kick!“

“This place is the absolute definition of hidden gem. The rum cake was INCREDIBLE!!! Warming it in the oven took it from 10/10 to 20/10- a definite must! We also came home with some peaches, pasta and wine- all were delicious! Can’t wait to try a paella class and their private dinner!!“

“Best homemade biscuits and gravy I've had in years!
MeMa's Bakery is an absolute treasure! The biscuits and gravy are so good I ate them before I even made it out of the parking lot – that says it all! The pecan rolls are incredible too. Everything here is genuinely homemade and you can taste the love in every single bite. The staff are warm and friendly, and the whole place has that wonderful old-fashioned ma-and-pa bakery feel that's so hard to find these days. A new favorite spot in Kansas City!“

“Great bakery and lunch items“

“I’ve been getting cookies from Mrs. Fields in Oak Park Mall for over 10 years, and they’ve never disappointed! I also work in the mall, so I stop by often — the customer service is always friendly and consistent. I’ve ordered lots of custom birthday cookies over the years, and they always get them just right. Everything is fresh, delicious, and made with care. Highly recommend!“

“Ordered a cookie bouquet for my dad’s birthday. I live in South FL so I only shopped online. Not only was the delivery on time today, but I was so pleased when my brother sent me the picture this evening. My dad was so happy to receive it — a perfect way to make his day special! Thank you SO much.“

“The Banana Cream cookie was AMAZING!!“

“buen precio por pan dulce y siempre super delicioso.“

“The food here tastes good! It's true that it would be nice if there were some more options for treats at times, but considering there's cupcakes, brownies, ice cream, and lots of other things that all taste really nice, I don't think it's bad at all.“
