Every town in the state of Kentucky seems to have a classic diner, perhaps a family-style restaurant, and hopefully, a wonderful locally owned bakery. These bakeries are where birthday cakes are always ordered, cookies are bought for special occasions, and friends meet to catch up over coffee and a slice of cake. If your town doesn’t have one of these spots – or even if it does – head to the town of Morehead and pay a visit to Root-A-Bakers Bakery & Cafe. This favorite bakery is inside a beautiful farmhouse-like building and everything about it is just too charming for words.

Root-A-Bakers is located in the city of Morehead in northeastern Kentucky and is appropriately housed in a farmhouse with the rolling hills of this region nearby.
