If the internet is right, the best bakery in Missouri is located in a general store just off Highway 36 in Macon. Let’s see if the talking heads on the net are right about this one.

I admit that I tend to be skeptical when the Internet decides something. Should I mention Boaty McBoatface? That’s why I viewed Only In Your State’s statement that the best bakery in Missouri is in a general store with suspicion. The destination they’re talking about is Koch’s General Store in Macon.
I know I drove by and probably stopped at Koch’s General Store a dozen times, but I can’t remember if I did. When you’ve driven west on Highway 36 as many times as I have in my life, it’s unavoidable.
Looking at the photos of cupcakes, cinnamon rolls and pies shared by Only In Your State, this looks like a potentially delicious place. They are mentioned as one of the top 10 restaurants in Macon by a YouTube channel. So maybe there is fire where there is smoke in this case?
The article mentions that Koch’s reviews mention friendly staff, which is very common in Macon from what I’ve experienced. If the baked goods they offer are as good as the people, maybe Only In Your State is right? Could be.
If nothing else, it’s nice to see our local places in Missouri and Illinois getting national shoutouts. Congratulations to Koch’s for this awesome wink.
