I've been going to this place for years, decades maybe, it is the best bakery in the whole state of Wisconsin. You've got to stop and try it, it's worth the destination. The selection is immense, prices are great, and the staff is amazing.

Amazing selection from across the globe! Service and ambiance superb from the music to cookie jar collection. Not from this area but so wish we had a real bakery like this in Door County.
