(See my other Food related posts) – A few months ago, we were returning home from Lubbock. We noticed a billboard on the highway advertising The Slaton Bakery. We were in no hurry to get home, so we left the highway for a short side trip into Slaton, TX.

The bakery can be found at 109 S 9th St, Slaton, TX. The bakery was easy to find and just minutes east of US 84.

Many items are available, as can be seen in the photo above. We selected a few things, which all turned out to be delicious. The highlight of our purchase was one of their Christmas fruit cakes. It turned out to be one of the best fruit cakes either of us had ever tasted.
Per their webpage: the Slaton Bakery, is a bakery in the small town of Slaton, TX, which is in the southern plains of the Texas panhandle. Our bakery was proudly established in West Texas in 1923 and has been owned and operated by the Wilson’s since 1943. Thanks to our local and visiting customers, we have become a household name throughout the state during that time – especially for our award-winning Homemade Vanilla Wafers.
If you are in the Lubbock, TX area, take a few minutes for yourself and head 17 miles South East on US 84.
Over the years we have visited many enjoyable restaurants, bakeries, and points of interest around the world. Visit my Food/Locations page to see a full list.
