Their products are very dry. Better than grocery store bakery, but not by much, and their pies are a very weak point, worse than grocery bakery. Very disappointed in their $15 chocolate cream cake; tasteless. There is not much competition in the area, so I guess they are content with what they sell.
Update January 2022: prices are up, I get that, who hasn't had to increase prices. But quality is way down. I repeatedly get product that is not fresh, that is dried out. Maybe it's just this location, but I'm done with manderfields for now, at least the menasha store.

Our favorite spot for baked goods. $2.00 for a loaf of white bread which my husband calls the "angel bread." Splurging on donuts and cookies that I would never have time to make myself. Amazing! Menasha is the one we visit and it's perfect. Always friendly staff and quick service.

I consider myself very fortunate to live not far from this amazing bakery! They offer a wide assortment of specialty breads, cakes, pies, rolls, yummy pastries, doughnuts, cookies....the list goes on and on! Please do not expect a huge store, but one rather cozy in it's size. Don't be fooled....what they offer is delicious at very reasonable prices.

Love the girls working. Like family. Good prices. Cookies, cakes, pies, and melt a ways to die for.... Pretzels are also delicious. Many varieties and dipping sauces. Never had a bad order or issue with any order.
