CHLOE CARRILLO/THE CREIGHTONIAN

Sweet Magnolias offers an array of baked goods, as well as custom desserts, for customers.

A little over a mile from Creighton’s campus — and just down the block from Coneflower Creamery — is a locally owned bakery called Sweet Magnolias, connected to archetype coffee in the Millwork Commons. 

The bake shop sells an array of baked goods, treats and even has vegan options. Some of the menu is only available on certain days, so make sure you check ahead of time before you go. 

The blueberry scone and the everything parmesan bun are a great balance of sweet and savory for some breakfast options. One can tell that all the goods are baked in house, and they make for a great breakfast, sweet treat or pick-me-up in the day.  

Sweet Magnolias also offers an array of bulk orders of their pastries if you’re looking to cater, and you can order custom cakes and wedding desserts.  

Just through the gate of Sweet Magnolias is the Millwork Commons, containing multiple different options to eat, sit and chat with friends, or study.  

One of the options closest to Sweet Magnolias is archetype coffee, a locally owned coffee shop in Omaha. They have a simple but effective menu, and a plethora of places to sit and enjoy. 

For a good beverage and sweet treat combo, the iced chai latte (add a pump of vanilla!) and blueberry scone paired perfectly for a quick breakfast before class, with the perfect atmosphere to sit and get some homework done.  

If you’re looking for your next study spot, some hidden gem pastries, a morning-pick-me-up, or just a nice place to hang out with friends, Millwork Commons has something for everyone. Not to mention the restaurants — and Coneflower Creamery — that are within walking distance.
