So I guess no more Brick Street Bakery? Great location. No donut cases displaying donuts. We had to ask about the donuts and it was 8am. They had the "fancy" donuts, you know the ones that people get creative with cereals and stuff. No plain every day donuts. I got the apple fritter. It had cherries in it, I didn't know that. The 2 ladies that were there were super sweet. There is some seating inside and outside. And you can see the old architecture of the building inside and out which makes it fun. They are only open 6am-2pm. Will need to go back and try their pizza as I was not impressed with the donut.

They have expanded their pizza menu recently, along with other options and services AND extended their hours, so they're making it better and easier to order from them. I love to sit inside on cold days and watch people going by on the square, or sit on the patio in warmer weather and do the same.

They also have great donuts and cookies, plenty of indoor seating, and historic Winterset photos. This is a jewel. Visit it; you'll love the entire experience.

"Bakery Unlimited" is not an appropriate name. It should be the "Limited Donut Shop". We went in…read moreexpecting to find a bakery and all they had were donuts. And they only had a limited selection of those. And we went in the morning. I am sorry you can't just offer up only donuts and call yourself a bakery. You can apparently order cakes there but there were none for sale. Even the Walmart bakery has a much better selection than here. I suppose if all you looking for is a very sparse choice of donuts then this is your place. They may have had a better selection early in the morning but all they have is a very small case for goods - so how goo could the selection have been? I am not sure how this place made it in to the "100 Things to do in Iowa" book but if this is a sampling then Iowa must be a very boring place. What a horrible disappointment. Oh and if you truly want a great donut go to Hurts Donuts in West Desmoines or Ambrosia Donuts in Ankeny. Now those are some class act donuts!! Delicious!

I was invited to a bridal party that took over this quaint coffee shop on a Saturday afternoon. Since I got to help set up, I got to see how accommodating and helpful they were. The organizer of the party had permission and brought all the things that she needed. Extra tables, drinks, foods, balloons, etc. The individuals working were happy to help with anything that we needed. They took over certian drinks but also offered the regualar drinks while we were visiting. I wanted to still support them while I was there so i tried one of the drinks on the menu that was seasonal. I enjoyed the drink, location, and atmosphere. I could see that if I lived closer, I would be a regular. There is a deck area outside that is shaded and would be perfect to watch the traffic go by. You can sit inside and chat with friends or even pull up the high tops and sit and work on your laptop if needed.

We had croissant sandwiches with chicken salad mixes in the middle that were awesome. They made a lemon orzo pasta and cucumber dish with scotcheroos and cookies and a charcuterie board. We came for a private event so i'm assuming these aren't typically on the menu, however the bakery made all the food for us and if their menu tastes anything like that, i'm assuming it's wonderful! The team was super kind and considerate and everyone was going back for seconds and thirds of coffee. They have a beautiful back patio to sit on and the whole place just gave such a feeling of home and warmth. 10/10 recommend!

We visited on a Friday afternoon around 2 pm and I was glad some of the baked goods were still available. I quickly picked up a few items: Dutch letters, almond horns, almond tarts, and blueberry filled Dutch windmills. The first three items have a strong but not overpowering almond flavor. I especially liked the almond horns which had a crunch but chewy and buttery texture. I also really liked the windmills and wished I had ordered the raspberry ones as well. It was buttery and flakey with just the right about of blueberry cream cheese filling.
