I LOVE C Adam's bakery. They've been in the MPM as long as I've been alive. Their cookie dough cake jar is to die for. Their brownies are always delicious, too. They are reasonably priced, especially in this era of expensive pastries. Service is always very friendly!! read more

C Adam's Bakery is the cookie dealer in the Milwaukee Public Market. This woman owned bakery has been pumping out treats since the market opened in 2005. Moderation isn't their strong suit. Their cookies are massive and somehow, they convince adults that dessert should absolutely come before lunch. So I got 3. The answer is yes. I don't care what nutritionists say. read more

I love this bakery located in the Public Market. I've been here many of times and have tried various desserts from cupcakes, cakes, macarons, cake pops, and cheesecake! I have never been disappointed by a dessert but their cheesecake, cakes pops, and macarons are my favorite! The staff is always super friendly, quick, and welcoming. The display is big and lit so customers are able to see the different goodies and they have flavors that rotate so it isn't the same desserts every time. Very cute place! read more

The funfetti cookie sandwich is something I'd drive back to Milwaukee for. Two soft cookies with just the perfect amount of whipped cream between them. It's large yet easy to finish in one sitting. Located inside the Public Market, this is a must stop stall. The chocolate chunk cookie was also amazing. Large with a soft center but crispy edges. The brookis was my least favorite but still solids. Really dense brownie in the middle. It's thick. Staff was super friendly and offered their favs. It's grab and go. read more

The taste is great - tried many of their products. Last I had was carrot cake. It was sumptuous . The service at the public market location is so hit or miss. Several workers doing nothing but not helping anyone multiple times I have been there. read more

The smells of this bakery is like bringing bees to honey - we followed the smells of baked goods and chocolate from the entrance of the Milwaukee Public Market and got the Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookie and a baby key lime pie.

Carrot is always sold out so make sure to get there early at 11:00 AM. The chocolate is also very popular. $5.25 a slice. It is indulgent and made my tummy happy. The cake is not too sweet and moist. read more

The mousse cake was very moist snd the mousse itself was fluffy and light. It wasn't overly rich. I wish there would have been more cake in the middle (it dips down un the middle for the mousse) but everyone's cake to cover mousse/frosting is different. The line went by quickly but it was confusing if you went to the register to order of just asked the person and met them didnt there. The workers were very nice though and I enjoyed their service. Everything was displayed nicely and everything looked fresh. read more

I was just commenting to someone the other day how much I would like some carrot cake. We were at the Milwaukee Public Market today and as we walked by the C Adam Bakery my eye was caught by the towering many-tiered carrot cake. We bought a slice of cake and some assorted cupcakes. The salad plate-sized cookies looked very tempting as well. The carrot cake was one of the best I've had. Four tiers of moist cake with carrots, plump raisins, and maybe zucchini with fluffy cream cheese frosting with chopped pecans. It was moist and delicious and just about perfect. read more

C. adams bakery is always such a solid stop for a sweet treat in the third ward! I am especially obsessed with their heath bar cookies! I would love if they did brownies because I was craving a good brownie the other day. But the cookies are so so good! They also have some unique flavors like banana crème or puppy chow read more

LOVE THIS BAKERY! Their cupcakes are so delicious and not overly sweet. Service is great! The ambiance is small, clean, and friendly. Highly recommend anyone to stop by and try a flavor you wouldn't normally eat trust me I have, and I haven't been disappointed yet. read more

WOW...was this bakery amazing or what! I visited the Milwaukee Public Market the other day while traveling through the city and stumbled upon C Adam's Bakery immediately upon entering. The extensive selection of cakes, cookies, macaroons, and other desserts available at VERY reasonable prices was impressive. My eye was immediately drawn to the carrot cake with cream cheese frosting and walnuts. This slice of cake was no wimpy slice, we are talking a massive slice of cake enough for 2 people to have their full at only $5.45 per slice. This was probably the most delicate, moist, fluffy, and soft carrot cake I have ever had, 10/10. Other offerings included seasonal treats like gingerbread men and peppermint chocolate cheesecake amongst others. I also got a gingerbread man cookie for the road. The staff were fantastic, very friendly and prompt when serving. There was a line of about 3 people when I went to the establishment and only waited about 2 minutes before placing my order. The baker who helped me was kind, knowledgeable, and very friendly. The business is very clean and presentable. The bakery is just a storefront and there are areas to sit and eat upstairs. If you happen to make your way to the Milwaukee Public Market, make sure you stop by and get something sweet at C Adam's...you won't regret it! read more

The grain free large peanut butter cookies are the bomb!! You will thank me! Best GF peanut butter treat ever.

Picked out an oatmeal chocolate chunk cookie for dessert. It was huge. Nice and chewy. It's a great sweet to share. Milwaukee Public Market has lots of seating, but we took our cookie and checked out the architecture of the art museum, a view of the lake, and a great mural of Giannis. read more

Very familiar with Black Twig in 'Tosa so when I found they were related, had to stop here for some sweets while at the public market. Love everything but especially the cookie sandwiches, blondies and mini-cakes. C Adam's and Black Twig are the absolute best bakeries in town! read more

Very nice spot in the Milwaukee Public Market! I always make sure to stop by to check out what new cupcake flavors they have. Got a mini key lime pie & mexican hot chocolate (I think?) cupcake last time we went, but unfortunately, we didn't really enjoy the key lime pie and found the cupcake to be good but slightly too sweet. Overall though, I've enjoyed their sweets (esp their cupcakes) and would recommend trying them if you visit the public market. read more

Absolutely the best cake I've ever had--hands down. Moist, rich, and full of flavor without being too sweet. The bakery itself is charming, and the staff is so warm and welcoming. If you're looking to treat yourself or impress at a party, this is the place. read more

Just YUM! Love to swing by C. Adams bakery in the Milwaukee Public Market for a treat after dinner downtown. Their cookies and cupcakes are absolutely delicious and they have the best icing - tastes light, but sweet. My husband and I chose this bakery a few years ago to bake our wedding cake and cupcakes as well - all were to die for. Employees are always kind and ready to help you pick what you want. Love their location in the public market, such a cute vibe. I believe they also own Black Twig bakery in Wauwatosa - two locations to get some of the best treats in Milwaukee! read more

THESE MACAROONS!!! They are a little larger than average macaroons, but still are baked PERFECTLY! You won't be disappointed. Workers are so friendly. It's located in the Milwaukee public market, which is busy and bustling. Their little shop takes out out of the craziness of the market for a moment. Enjoy your trip! read more

If you do nothing else in the market, TRY THEIR CUPCAKES!! On a very serious note I visited this bakery 3 times during my visit. From someone who loves to try new things while traveling that is impressive! I tried their macarons, cookies, and cupcakes. Although they were all good the cupcakes stole the show. They managed to be light and fluffy while still being flavor packed. It was perfection. I would wait in a very long line just to get my hands on one of their pistachio cupcakes again. I often think about it and mourn the fact I don't live here. When you go just be brave and get one of each cupcake, I don't like chocolate cake but liked theirs. It's serious that good. Like Pokémon, you should collect them all. read more

I could not resist these cupcakes when I passed by them at the public market omg! I ended up trying 4 flavors with a friend sooooo here's my ranking: 1. Cookie Butter - (1000/10) if you like cookie butter even a little bit or have never tried it you are missing out! The cake was perfectly moist and the cream was sooo smooth and buttery. I loved every bit of it. 2. Vanilla Bean - I'm a vanilla over chocolate girl so take this with a grain of salt. I really really loved this cupcake I thought it was just the right amount of sweetness (and once again moist cake and smooth toppings) 3. Carrot - pretty standard carrot cake! I thought the frosting on this one was a little runny but the cake itself was good and had visible pieces of carrot if you're into that 4. Red Velvet - also pretty standard red velvet but nothing special here. The frosting on this one was kinda tough maybe cuz it was in the fridge the longest but the cake was overall just ok The staff here were super nice and the prices are all very reasonable ($3/cupcake). I'll have to try their giant cookies next time! read more

It was pretty impossible to walk past this bakery at the public market and not buy something.... Or a lot of things. The wide variety and cookies that were so bright and cutely decorated made us have to stop. We got a small pumpkin cheesecake as well as an assortment of cookies including shortbread, snickerdoodle, and animal cracker. The frosting to cookie ratio was bang on, and nothing was too sweet. The cheesecake was creamy and well spiced. This made for a great dessert back at our hotel room, and if we're in the neighborhood again we'll definitely be back for another cookie fix. The staff was also super friendly and helpful and asked us questions and told us their specialties. Highly recommend! read more

Just when I thought that I knew what a good cupcake or cookie was, I visited C Adam's Bakery and my life was turned upside down. The bakery case was full to the brim with every sweet delight you could think of with fresh-out-of-the-oven items on the racks right behind them. I was in heaven. Since I'm from Florida and came to Milwaukee to enjoy the autumn, I clearly had to try to the apple cupcake with salted caramel frosting. The frosting was magnificently creamy and flavorful - not too sweet, the cake was dense and moist, and the apple insides were the perfect bit of apple pie. Just the type of autumnal experience I was looking for. The kid in me also had to try the funfetti cookie sandwich. It was huge and more delicious than any other cookie sandwich I'd had before... the perfect amount of cream in the middle for a big kid like me! And finally, I asked for help choosing a third item. I was told that the vegan chocolate chip cookie was delicious, even for non-vegans. And that recommendation was spot on - it was one of the top chocolate chip cookies I've tasted in recent memory. So glad I came out to this gem of a bakery - there are so many other things to try (carrot cupcake!!! and macarons!!!!!) and enjoy! read more

Absolutely love this bakery! Their individual baked goods are always amazing. More recently I ordered a gender reveal cake. The service for this was very efficient. I emailed with someone about all the details then called in to place my order and pay in advance. The cake was only $65 for a HUGE cake that was pretty detailed (see pics). The cake not only looked perfect and like everything I wanted, but it tasted amazing!!! Would definitely recommend!! read more

this place is pure decadence.

Not sure but it contained carrots and either bits of apples or another fruit, plus a cream cheese topping w/ little pieces of walnuts. The best part- not too sweet. yum yum yum read more

Wanted something small for dessert, so I decided to pick up a few things from here. They had a variety of different items that all looked delicious, but I decided to go with the tiramisu cake ball, raspberry cheesecake ball, and a tiramisu macaroon. All three items tasted amazing! I liked the fact that they weren't overly sugary and the shells on the cake balls were not too thick. I took off a star because the staff wasn't very friendly and there was no clear line to order. They just took orders based on which ever person made eye contact with them first. read more

Everything here is delicious! I love the chocolate cookie the best! Quick and kind service. Easy to find in the public market.

How lovely it is to find a bakery that offers "flourless" options! There were two gluten free options, the peanut butter and the chocolate walnut (which I got). The cookies are big and filling so I had leftovers for later while walking by Lake Michigan. The flavor of the cookie was just okay, and it was not too "chocolatey." Having a bakery in the Milwaukee Market was nice as I had a sweet treat to snack on while shopping! read more

Loved this spot! Came here for a chocolate chip cookie. The first time I went (yes, I went twice lol) they didn't have an OG chocolate chip cookie, so I went with the vegan option. It was tasty, but was missing the buttery richness of actual butter. I went back a second time and then got a Brookie (brownie + cookie) and then also the OG chocolate chip cookie. Both were very, very tasty. Service was a quick and the prices were accurately reflected in the quality and the size you get. read more

Came to talk about the carrot cake. Visited from Chicago and got it on a whim. Seriously so good. Will be dreaming about it and would make a trip back just to get it again read more

We were walking around the market and I was craving something sweet. We were from out of town and wanted to stop by because there were a lot of reviews. We wanted to stop by and grab something, but everything looked good! We settled on an oatmeal cupcake, that was topped with an oatmeal cookie. The cupcake itself was not anything special or phenomenal, but it was good. The cookie on top was crispy and chewy, which I really liked. We would have gotten more items, but everything was a bit expensive. It was a cute little stall and had yummy looking treats, that satisfied our want for something sweet, but it wasn't anything memorable. I would recommend this place of you're looking for something sweet and in a pinch. Unfortunately, it didn't wow me or make me crave more. read more

I typically come to the Milwaukee Public Market for lunch or dinner and most of the time on my way out I pick up a cookie from C. Adam's Bakery. They have such an extensive selection - including VEGAN cookies. What? I know! And they taste like regular cookies. What prompted me to finally write a review about them is the fact that I just had a puppy chow cookie sandwich (I think is what they called it). It was the best cookie sandwich I've had quite possibly ever! I know they switch up their special cookies regularly and I had never seen that in the display case before - I hope they continue to make that one regularly, I definitely need another one (or more)! If you have a sweet tooth, make sure to check them out the next time you stop over there! read more
