The Marigold Bakery in downtown Atchison KS makes wonderful sandwiches on fresh-baked breads, but it's the dessert items that are the big sellers here. The Kansas Coffee Cake is famous in these parts -- even got a write-up in a Kansas travel magazine.
BUT -- Marigold's "daily homemade" soups are made from institutional-sized canned condensed soups with some extras thrown in -- not what we'd call "homemade" by any stretch. Their "Signature Tomato-Basil" was Wal-Mart brand condensed tomato soup with some dried Hy-Vee brand basil added to it. How do we know? We walked by the can and the BIG basil container on our way to the restroom.
Unfortunately, we had already ordered the soup and it was too late to cancel. DOH!
Our advice is to stick with the homemade items here, unless it's really Really REALLY cold out -- in which case who cares if Marigold Bakery passes off canned tomato soup as "fresh" and "homemade" and "our signature item"??

When it comes to breakfast baked goods, cookies, pies and sandwiches on homemade bread, you won't go wrong at cheery Marigold Cafe Bakery.
For a true taste of down-home Kansas goodness, pull up a chair at Marigold Bakery Cafe. Customers sit at farmhouse kitchen tables, conversing over their mounded platters of food. In the back kitchen, an army of women pulls crusty loaves from toasty ovens. Sugary treats include cookies, cinnamon-pecan rolls, coffee cakes, muffins, scones and cherry Danish. We love the baby 6-inch pies ($3.75 to $4.50); flavors change daily (coconut cream, lemon meringue, chocolate cream, peach, apple and cherry). The chalkboard lists dozens of cookie choices. And, at just $1 each, we say buy several. For lunch, the $7.75 half sandwich-baby greens salad combo and a fresh-squeezed glass of strawberry lemonade is light yet satisfying on a hot summer day. Try the veggie sandwich with cucumber, onion, tomato and provolone cheese. You can't push back from the kitchen table without a square of warm caramel-drizzled pecan praline bread pudding, $3.50. Take Marigold's goodness home with a box mix of oatmeal-streusel crumble Kansas Coffee Cake ($5), based on Susan's mother's recipe.
