Not only does Lexi’s of Welaka have a selection of sweet treats, including cupcakes, cookies and danishes, but their lunch menu “really takes the cake!” Their sandwiches and salads are a must-try in Putnam County.

There’s no better way to start the day than with a delicious cup of coffee and a tasty bakery item… lucky for us, Palatka Coffee Co. offers both! Make sure to get there first thing in the morning as some of their sweet treats sell out quick (because they’re just that good!).
