Concannon's New Bakery Cafe and Coffee Bar in Muncie, Indiana

Concannon's is a bakery well known to people who live in Muncie, Indiana. For over forty years, this bakery has provided local treats for citizens, such as wedding cakes, cookies, brownies, donuts, and more. These convections have unique flavors that don't taste anything like what you would find at a superstore or gas station. We're talking high end sweets here.

So when I heard that they had opened a café sometime in January of this year, it didn't take me long to get over there to try it. Today, my husband and I went out to lunch there to see the place and taste the new lunch menu. Sure, Concannon's can't go wrong with their sweets, but how would they do with food? How does the place look and operate?

Well, across the bar this place met and even exceeded my expectations. For starters, the interior doesn't look anything like any other place in Muncie. It looks more like it would fit in a tourist town such as Nashville. The place is large, clean, charming, and simple. The coffee bar has a distinctly antique feel to it, the seats and tables are all wooden, no tacky plastic booths. The counter space and display areas for all the baked goods looked immaculate. It was very reminiscent of something from, "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory". The employees were all very nice, service was quick, and to top it all off, there were free samples flying around everywhere. I'm not sure if this is how it will be forever, so get yourself in for a visit just in case it's something they're doing just for the sake of opening promotions. (Their servings are huge, a "sample" of chocolate cream cake was decadent enough to feed four of us as though it was a family dessert!)

Concannon's Bakery Café and Coffee Bar sells sandwiches, soups, salads, wraps, and all the traditional drinks that you would imagine. (Such as a soda, tea, lemonade, smoothies, coffee, etc.) Today I tried the garden salad and tuna salad croissant. (The croissant was baked fresh, of course!) The food was excellent. The prices were even better, a salad, drink, half a sandwich (which was quite large) and drink only cost $5.29. That's quite the deal, and the food was far more filling and tasty than anything you could get at a fast food restaurant.I would highly recommend that you visit this café.

I would also recommend that you take full advantage of the bakery. The cakes, pies, tarts, flavored popcorn, candy, cookies, and more that they create are good enough to be a national chain! If you live in the Muncie area, this place is well worth visiting. This place would be great for an afternoon lunch or even a unique date night!
