Call us old-fashioned, but we have a thing for general stores. They’re so nostalgic and charming, offering a unique shopping experience that’s unheard of in our 21st century world of Insta ads and online retailers. And the only thing better than an old-time general store, is an old-time general store with a bakery. That’s what you’ll find when you visit Troutt Old Time General Store and Market, the cutest general store and best bakery in Kentucky.

In beguiling Paducah, Kentucky, Troutt Old Time General Store and Mark is a new place with an old soul. The store began as a booth at the Downtown Paducah Homegrown Farmers’ Market a decade ago, selling different varieties of heirloom vegetables. Businesses blossomed, and they soon outgrew their little market stall. The brick-and-mortar store opened at 433 N 4th St, Paducah, KY, 42001, seven years ago.
