We’re not sure it’s possible to live in Nebraska and not love baked goods. Our parents and grandparents grew up making everything from scratch, and we never stop craving that homemade goodness. Next time the craving for a sticky bun, cinnamon roll, or other baked treat hits, trek out to Ravenna for one of the best bakeries you’ve never tried.

Nestled in the little town of Ravenna, not too far from Kearney or Grand Island, Christie's Kitchen is a sweet little bakery that may just remind you of Mom's or Grandma's kitchen.
