About
Community Bakery opened in 1947 and has operated continuously in the Main Street corridor ever since, which makes it one of the most durably reliable spots in downtown Little Rock. The menu spans breakfast pastries, full café breakfast plates, deli sandwiches, soups, and the custom cakes that have anchored Little Rock celebrations for generations. The kolaches are a legacy item worth seeking out. The dining room is unpretentious and functional — it's a working bakery café, not a lifestyle concept — and the regulars have been coming for years because the quality holds. A good stop before or after the museums and galleries along this stretch of downtown.
