Six Hand Bakery

One of the best bakeries I’ve ever been to. Very small, can’t eat inside… pocket sandwiches and cheese and fruit pastry were out of this world. Would NOT expect this in Indiana!

Still drooling over my tiramisu cupcake and the cream puff. The cupcake tasted exactly like tiramisu except it was cake instead of ladyfingers. And the cream puff was so light and fluffy and not too sweet. The croissants were a little hard for my tastes. I like croissants light, soft and fluffy. I’ll go back to get more sweets. I wish they had tables to sit and hang out.

Love this place!
There is no where to sit, it’s true, but it’s full of delightful goodies that you will love!
I’ve had amazing cup cakes, cookies, and madelines from here.
Love the sandwich pockets and pocket buns. Also chicken salad on croissant sandwiches are amazing. Yummmm!!! But they sell out early
I believe they serve commonplace coffee here.
Great people run the place and I love seeing into the workspace where they make their culinary creations!

We Just has there homemade cookies and pretzels. Both were amazing not to mention the owner is so kind

Love love love this place, best baked bread ever!!! look forward to the days that they are open, cream puffs are amazing and so are there cookies!

This place is spectacular. A little town like Indiana is lucky to have a real French-​style bakery in their downtown area. Everything has been delicious, particularly the baguettes and focaccia. Get there early (or call in your order) because once the day’s product is sold, it’s done.

I wish I could try this place. I’ve heard the baked goods are excellent. I went to go today to get some breakfast… but they don’t open until 10am!!! That’s so late for someone trying to get a muffin or scone for breakfast. Especially in the summertime! This isn’t Europe. Very, very disappointmed! I hope I eventually get the opportunity to write a better review!

Six Hand Bakery is simply incredible! My husband and I go there several days a week, mostly for the wheat loaf, the wheat baguette, or the wheat hamburger buns. We also special order whole wheat pitas that are out of this world-​the best I’ve ever had. Every cookie I have had has been delicious; I don’t think they can do anything wrong. We’re hardcore fans!

This place is awesome. Try the sticky buns with pecans. They are the best I have ever had. This place has strange hours though.

Get the olive oil focaccia. Sounds really basic, I know, but I’m telling you it will haunt your dreams.
I tried this the last time I visited my sister. I think about it all the time. I ask my sister how it’s doing and if it ever asks about me.
We also had a really good sticky bun that was perfect with coffee, but that focaccia! There was a familiar popcorn-​like taste to it and it was just as addicting as popcorn. The texture of it was perfect. Crusty and buttery and airy. I regret not telling it how much it meant to me. Cherish this focaccia, Indiana.

Wonderful bakery. Wish opened earlier so I could stop in after taking kids to school and going to work. Otherwise, no complaints.

This place is a blessing to Indiana. I visit my daughter at IUP often, and when I do I stop by this place. Most of the products there are excellent, with the exception of the scones (I agree with Jesse K’s review — rather bland and non-​scone like). Very friendly staff, and very pleasant store front (you can watch them bake while you wait).
So far… Baguettes, croissants, various sweet and savory «pockets», whole wheat loafs — all tried, all highly recommended.
If this place was closer to my NoVa home, I’d need to go to the gym every day of the week.
If you are close, give this place a try. You are welcome in advance =)

This place is a great local place for awesome baked goods. The prices are quite reasonable and the food is great. I am not a fan of their scones. The scones always seemed flavorless to me. However, those are the only bad things I have to say about them. Everything else there that I have bought has been nothing less than phenomenal. The cupcakes are a little pricey, but completely worth it.

Awesome place for bread and pastry. It may be a bit more expensive than supermarket fare, but it is worth it. Each day of the week they bake certain types of bread and pastries, so be sure to get a list! They made me a believer in scones, as well as baguettes and croissants made outside of France! A must for anyone who loves baked goods. (try talking with the bakers about their baking. They’ll tell you the back stories to the great food they make.

Although I have a sweet tooth, I’m not a big fan of baked desserts. I decided to try this place because in the few months that I had been here, I had made an entire loop around Indiana and I had nothing new to try. Also, I had heard amazing things about this place. I got there maybe an hour before it closed and the only baked desserts they had left were peach muffins and cookies. Not only am I not a huge fan of muffins, but fruit in my dessert doesn’t jibe with me. I was hungry, so I had to abandon my rules for the time being and decided to try the peach muffin. Let me tell you, it was incredible. I can’t even describe how good it was without sounding like a Top Chef judge.
I have only been here once, but I plan on going back and trying their scones, which I heard will change your life. The only thing is, as of now, they are opened on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Oh, and try to get there early because all of their best sellers will run out fast. They do have other baked goods besides dessert, of course.
