The best bakery in all the land. My mom and I especially love the savory pastries and soups, but almost every other item we've tried has been delicious, too. Five stars for top-notch baked goods, and another five stars for the loveliest baker and owner, Kat. 💖
Been there twice, first time was getting kid-oriented options (cookies, pop tart, cinnamon roll). Second time was scones for the adults. Both times were equally amazing. Delicious baked goods, love the cozy/neighborhood vibes, the owner seems to know everyone who comes in. New favorite Saturday morning spot!

We hired Gratitude for our wedding! And let me tell you first hand, BEST. DECISION. EVER.
Kat is such an amazing person with a warm and welcoming energy, and was such a joy to work with. We came in with just some ideas and she made it happen!!
We ordered several dozen cupcakes which included funfetti, chocolate covered strawberry, snickerdoodle, and carrot. For most people the dessert is just part of the day and you have a little slice of cake and move on, but Kat made the dessert an experience and talking point of all of our guests. I had several people coming up to me throughout the night RAVING about whatever flavor they tried most recently. And other people joining in on splitting a flavor they hadn’t had since they had already eaten 3 and “If I eat a whole other one I’m going to explode”. My personal favorites were the snickerdoodle, and chocolate covered strawberry!!!
She even made all of this happen on our wedding which is a Saturday, and the only day she currently has the bakery open. These people ROCK!! Many thanks to Kat and team for making our wedding, and cupcakes something worth remembering forever ❤️
One the most caring, thoughtful, and talented bakers owns this little gem on the corner. Her case of goodies is full of tasty treats including scones, cakes, cinnamon rolls, tarts, cookies, brownies, etc. If you're lucky enough to join in on one the live music nights, you can also choose from the daily vegetarian specials on her board....last night was lasagna with greens for me and lentil soup with the best focaccia bread for my hubby. Don't hesitate to order the pie ala mode...it is AWESOME! Wines and other alcoholic beverages are available along with sodas, teas and coffee. We always feel so welcome and appreciate the hospitality we enjoy here.
Kat was very accommodating to let me pick up my cake order after her usual business hours. OMG her Kitchen Sink Carrot Cake is big, tall, beautiful and delicious! I've been wanting a carrot cake with carrot, nuts, spices, coconut in every bite, and this is IT! I will definitely come back for my future cake orders. Thanks Kat!
Gratitude Bakery is THE BEST bakery in Lincoln, hands down. Yeah, yeah, all the hipsters like Goldenrod and Goldenrod does a few good things. So what makes Gratitude THE BEST? Kat's baked goods are decadent and moist. MOIST! Plus, Kat's genuine and kind to everyone. Yes, she makes vegan and gluten-free options. Check her out! You can support more than one small biz, local bakery in town! Unfortunately, I don't have pictures of all the goodies I bought today because I can't help but eat them in the car on the way home. Here's a pic of the "Linda" raspberry almond cake.
Kat made a carrot cake extra moist that got rave reviews from everyone at a party. We were almost willing to fight for additional pieces. 😄

Absolute best bakery in Lincoln. It's a nice little hidden gem. Not only are the deserts some of the best I've had anywhere, the owner is one of the nicest people. She takes the time to strike up converations with each of her customers as they come to the counter. She has an excellent variety of treats, and even some vegan options. Best scones and puppy chow hands down. I've recently lost almost 150 pounds, and once a month I allow myself a free day to treat myself somewhere. This place has been my go to spot the last two months and worth every calorie. I'm very selective about where I go on these days, so that says a lot about this little bakery. I plan on visiting many times in the future for sure!
