Imagine you are standing on Second Street, in Rebel, Oklahoma and looking at the new bakery in town. Daisy’s Pies & Baked Goods is spelled out in gold lettering against a navy blue background on the canvas awning over the shop. After you grab your pastry and coffee, you'll want to step outside and have a seat at one of the outdoor tables and chairs. Do take a moment to inhale the sweet spicy scent of fragrant begonia pots that flank the doors of the bakery. We're glad you're here!
