The Station Bakery & Cafe

I eat here 3 or 4 times a year. The owners are really friendly and have been in High Springs a long time. The desserts are really good and they have ice cream.
The sandwiches are very tasty, they use all fresh ingredients and high quality meats & veggies. They make everything from scratch and the meat is not pre-​sliced.
Come here if you have some time for lunch though. They are a little pricey and take their time… I guess both are the price for fresh.

This place is really cute when you walk in. It’s got a shop you walk through before you find the bakery. At the bakery, they offer many different cakes and cookies. I’d recommend.

Miss the old location! It was done with trains and lots of fun things but since moving to the new location it is just meh. The food is really good but a bit pricey (guess it is expected for fresh food).

Had their cream puff and it was excellent. Crispy hard shell and fresh cream filling. I got the chocolate filling one. They used real heavy cream for the filling — it tasted like chocolate moouse. The chocolate frosting on top was velvet chocolate. Yum! Can’t wait to go again.

The cake is very good, the problem is they cut the slices too small. They don’t need to be huge but if they were half an inch bigger I would feel like I’m getting my monies worth.

Cozy place! Loved the décor and the chocolate pecan cookies!
The service was great and very accommodating since it was our first time there and we didn’t know what to get. We will be back for some home-​made Almond Butter!

This place is a small family owned and operated business. I absolutely love it! They have good sandwiches and amazing desserts. The eclairs are delicious and homemade. Everything is homemade and fresh to order. It takes time to get your order but it is definitely worth the wait. The owners are such nice people. Definitely better than a chain fast food or sandwich shop. I am going to keep going back and give them my business! I recommend it to all

The Station Bakery & Café was moved a couple years ago from their original location in High Springs’ actual railway depot to a new building on US 441. Apparently there were issues with the rent the owner of the depot wanted so the folks behind the Station – and elderly couple and their daughter – bought this new property outright and moved. I understand their motives, but it’s something of a shame because the old depot was great for this train-​themed restaurant whereas their new quarters seem impersonal. I’m not sure what this building served as before, but some sort of retail store – maybe auto parts or such. Maybe a restaurant before, though in any case the owners have put a good effort into remodeling it to suit them but it just seems. .. generic. Certainly not as fun as the old depot.
The sandwiches are pretty typical but decent portions and the owners are very nice people. The father was a candy-​maker before he retired to Florida from New York he’s said, and he still makes old-​fashioned pralines and other candies for the Station and the pralines rock. They also have ice cream and home-​made cakes – many, many, varieties of cakes. I’ve found the cakes overall to be overwrought – just too much buttercream icing, too sweet. And because they are huge cakes, they often sit there a while and you may get a piece that’s a bit stale. I mean, they have normally five or more huge cakes – chocolate, carrot cake, lemon and who knows what else. There are like at least two other good bakeries in High Springs so I don’t think the demand for all these cakes is constantly high and they don’t tend to sell out the day they were made, if you get my drift. The key lime cookies, when they have them, are very good though and the lemon cake isn’t bad when fresh. Once alas there was a pineapple cake which was an abomination, however.
If you come for lunch, I’d suggest the Cuban sandwich, reuben, or BLT. I’ve never tried their ice cream and I don’t know where they get it from. I hope they don’t make it: they seem overworked for a retired couple as it is. I wish I could give more than three stars because these folks are so darn nice, but I think three reflects the food fairly (aside from the pralines which are five-​stars for sure).

Good sandwiches, amazing deserts, icecream as well as local honey and homemade peanut/​almond butter. Polite service. All around cute local place for lunch!

No doubt best desserts around. The 5 layer chocolate torte is worth every calorie! Chicken salad sandwich is my favorite. Just don’t be in a hurry… they do take a while to prepare. Call ahead for pick up and don’t show up a minute before they quote you :)
