Famous for Fruitcakes

Collin Street Bakery is the home of the World Famous Deluxe Fruitcake and is located in Corsicana, TX at 401 West 7th Avenue. Locally, they are famous for a lot more! They have fresh baked breads, pastries, muffins, cookies, gifts and beautifully decorated made to order cakes for all occasions. Collin Street Bakery was founded in 1896 and have been in operation as a family-owned business since. The original location (still in operation) is located in historic, downtown Corsicana.

I normally don't like fruitcakes, but I do like all the other good stuff, i.e. baked breads, pastries..

Hey, I think I read somewhere that they were going to open one around here in Waco. Any truth to that?  I have never tried the fruitcake. Is it good? Should I?

Hi Wendy!  Yes, there will be a Collin Street Bakery in Waco - soon!  It is on Interstate 35 at State Highway 31.  They are also planning to open a fourth store on Interstate 20 near Canton in the Fall of '09. 


I personally don't eat fruitcake - I love everything else they bake!  Cookies - pastries (they do offer free samples of cookies - so you can try before you buy).  The building appears to be a replica of the newest store in Corsicana.  It is beautiful!  Enjoy when it opens!

Renee - Very good information for your local community.  You even made the fruit cake sound appetizing.  All the best.

It is a treat!  If you are passing through Corsicana, please stop by and try a sample!   

Renee, Our daughter graduated from UNT and I can't tell you how many times we took that trip from Spring to Denton and I would see the sign for Collins Bakery.  I always wanted to stop but never had the time.  It sounds wonderful.

Hi Renee ~ I just have to say - the title of the post gave me a good chuckle! Wonderful that they have been in business for so many years. Sounds delicious!
