The "Station Bakery" in downtown High Springs is one of our favorite places. It's an actual train station. It was moved down the tracks after its original use as an actual train station and has taken on a new face. It's a restaurant and bakery now! It's been in business for many years and owned by a local family.
They make delectable desserts and the most amazing apple pie I've ever tasted. Fresh made bread, eclairs, hand-scooped ice cream, Board's Head meat sandwiches, and much more.
My kids and I love going there for a quick bite to eat. The place is covered with train-themed decor, even a train that circles the dining room and the pass-through window that your food is passed through from kitchen to customer is the actual ticket window of the station. It's so neat to sit there in the quaint dining room and know that decades ago, folks in fancy dress who arrived in horse-drawn carriages were once standing were you are.
I always get the Board's Head Italian sub and the kids get this cute little meal they serve for kiddos. It's served on Zoo Pals plates (if you're a parent of a young child, you know what those are) with sliced up meat, cheese, and pickles. My kids love it. Then after and only after do they get some yummy ice cream (large heaping scoops) there at the Station Bakery. I usually get some apple pie or whatever looks good in their case that day. The pumpkin cheesecake caught my eye the other day. Yum!
The Station Bakery is less than a block off of Main St. Turn the corner at the bike shop and it's right across the road from the railroad tracks. They even serve dinner. It's awesome and we keep going back time after time. It's that good!
I love North Central Florida so much that it is the setting for my debut novel, Culture Shock, a young adult urban fantasy novel. If you want to read the first chapter of Culture Shock, follow the link on the home page of my website: http://jeanettepekala.com/
