Kasey's Bakery and Cafe

In the Crestwood Station area that also houses the huge Christian Church and the Dollar General Store. Not opened yet. Anyone know anything about it?

Just that their website has been up for a couple of months but re-construction of the space appears to be progressing at a snails pace...Which surprises me not.

They were working on the exterior. Looks almost finished like, maybe, a week or just away. I hope it'll be good but the menu looks a bit...mundane. Some home baked breads would be nice.

Opens July 1st according to the ladies in the bank. I peeked inside, looks nice.

Well, happy to see an addition to the area!

Visited here today. Went in around 3:30 PM. No OPEN sign on the door and the store was only half lit. Tried the door halfway expecting it to be locked but no, it was open! Yeah! Inside there were maybe 10 or so young folk sitting around a single table. No aromas, no cooking.

"Oh! I'm sorry. Are you not opened yet?" I asked. I thought I had interrupted an employee meeting.
"Oh yes we're open! Where would you like to sit?"
" oh well, honestly I was just coming in to see if I could buy a loaf of fresh bread?"
She kinda scrunched up her face.
"Fresh bread?"
"Yeah. A loaf of bread. I mean...I was just thinking...since it says BAKERY you might sell fresh bread."
She waves her hand to the left side of the building that is dark. Two tiny cases. Empty.
"Well, this is our bakery area."
"Oh. So nothing yet? You're not opened?"
"No, we're opened."
"Well, eventually what do you expect to have?"
"Oh she will have everything! Muffins, scones, cakes, cookies! And she bakes it all herself!"
"Great! Will you sell fresh bread?"
(Scrunched her face again.)
"Fresh bread?" (Looks at her co worker shaking her head, shrugging their shoulders.they exchange puzzled looks.)
"Fresh bread?"
"Yes, fresh bread. Like for sandwiches?"
They both stand there and shake their heads repeating "fresh bread" under their breath. I expected someone to ask,
"What is this 'fresh bread' of which you speak?"

On one hand I am very disappointed that these very nice, very sweet, young ladies obviously had no clue you could go to the bakery to buy anything but sweets. How sad.

On the other hand wouldn't you just love to be there when (and if - given Kasey does make fresh bread) they bite into their first slice of real bread!

Stopped in today for a late lunch...I was the only customer in the place...It wasn't -bad- it just wasn't anything special (definitely not in the same league as say the Red Pepper right around the corner). I didn't get the sense that the staff had much (if any) restaurant experience...several 16-17 y.o. girls running around doing awkward imitations of "servers", maybe a busboy or two about the same age. The "bakery" part consisted of a few dozen cookies, some cupcakes and 3 or 4 cheese cakes (18.99)...No bread

Who knows, maybe their proximity to the SE Christian campus (in the same parking lot) and the after church Lord Jesus/Fellowship crowd can keep 'em going...if not, I give the place about 9 months...

I owned Dolce Bakery for a little over three years (my sister ran it for 7 prior) and back then I would have begged for the opportunity to have a retail spot (we would have had to spend money we didn't have to reconfigure the space) and to read this makes me sad and disappointed to the point of anger haha... this post makes me think of this meme regarding the metal band Pantera:

Adam,

I would been there immediately for both you and Rachel- and augmented the line with all of my friends. I'm moving to the Highlands- can you start something there??

(Seriously- you know I I know how hard retail is; must be very frustrating for you.)

There was a time I would have jumped at the opportunity but I got burned out and crashed hard (REAL hard). Actually had investors approach me after the remains were still smoldering.. I just didn't have it in me. I needed a break and real estate has been great to me so far. I am loving the flexibility. But I miss the food game I can't lie.

I had lunch there today and it was AWESOME! I had the half turkey Rueben with salad and portions were plentiful and yummy. Cannot wait to go back!

Damn....I called this one spot on. They boarded the place up at the end of March/first of April. In it's place is the soon to be opened "Little Dick's (??) Roadhouse" (or something like that).....Whatever

Yup. Drove by the other day wondering how they were doing. Pretty sad when you can't make it within walking distance of a SECC.

Just as an added note for the area - the Crestwood Market has signs up they will have their beer license in a couple weeks. That should help them compete with Wallyworld around the corner. (Which is dead dead dead every time I check in.)

I visited Kasey's 3x and for me it never did get north of "meh"...The food was nothing special and the service remained a bunch of no-nothing-first-job-can't-get-the-simplest-order-right kids right up until my last visit...Can't speak for the bakery items since I never tried 'em. Apparently my opinion is one shared by others because (like Carla said) if you can't make it in the same parking lot as SECC, you can't make it anywhere.

The new place going in is called "Little Dave's Roadhouse" (as opposed to Little Dickie's - my bad). There is another place down in Brandenburg by the same name, no idea if it's the same ownership.

Out of pure necessity I've been into the new Crestwood WallyWorld a couple of times (I didn't realize I could hold my breath that long)...and I'm with Carla...it's the dead sea. Will continue to patronize the Crestwood Grocery Outlet, Crestwood Hardware, etc, etc...
