Fariner Bakery

Cute hipster bakery shop in Ashland Nebraska.

Sugar cookies 5 star
I actually don't like sugar cookies, but this made me go back to buy more to share.

Ginger bread cookie 4.5-5 star
So this is one of those, maybe it was a 5 star but I wasn't feeling ginger bread day. I thought it was a bar at first with it's shape. It was a good version, full of flavor, nicely chewy (soft chew). My partner said it was dangerously addictive. It's a very strong cookie so for myself it was good with a hot latte.

Scone 4.5 star
The flavor was good, but it would nice to have the option to warm it up.

Decaf Latte 4 stars
Pricing for the latte was pretty good.

Sourdough bread 4 stars
Pricing for the sourdough bread surprised me. Was it a good loaf, yes. Would I buy it again for that price? No.

Parking is available on the street or on the side of the building. In both cases it's free.

Okay, after I left Salt Creek Mercantile, I went immediately to the bakery. It did not disappoint. The outside seating area just opened and if it wasn't so windy we would have sat outside. The two young ladies that were working the counter were just a joy! It was great to know that everything is baked in house. It was spacious and cozy at the same time. Great coffees and teas. I will be back and tell all my friends.

Cute cute cutttttteee!!! Honey oat lattes were the perfect balance of sweet and espresso! This place is a hidden gem. Excited to go back and explore the menu!!!

My wife and I LOVED this place!

The baked goods we tried we're delicious, the coffee was great, and the atmosphere is stunning.

We tried the Cherry Almond Turnover, Pain Au Chocolat, and the Raspberry Cream Cheese Bun. Each was sweet but not too sweet. They were all so flakey and soft!

Honestly craving more as I write this review!

We got a Salted Caramel latte and it's got the strong coffee flavor, which I prefer in a latte as opposed to the overly milky taste you get at some other places.

I could go on; the staff was nice and helpful, the music was a good volume, the decor is beautiful.

It's definitely worth the drive in from the surrounding Omaha, Lincoln, or Fremont areas to give this place a try!

Best croissants west of the Atlantic? Maybe! But ABSOLUTELY the best I've found in Nebraska. This authentic European bakery has reasonable prices and exceptional diversity and quality in their offerings. The "Norwegian Rye" goes great with sweet cream and brown sugar as a heritage breakfast food, by the way. Just like grandma used to make!
